On our radar: Refillable lip balm

Wild refillable lip balms

Where we’ve been able, we’ve been using refillable products for many years; laundry detergent, washing up liquid, even deodorant. One new product that we’ve recently discovered is refillable lip balm. We’re not the only ones to discover it, though, less than a week after they were launched, they completely sold out!

The all-new Wild lip balms aren’t just refillable, they’re 100% vegan and completely natural, unlike the famous petroleum-based variety. The refills are available to buy as one-off bundles or as a regular subscription. A waiting list has been created – get yourself on it!

Price Points: Grown-up Advent calendars

Selection of grown-up Advent calendars | H is for Home

There aren’t any children in our household, however that doesn’t stop us getting excited about Christmas. Christmas proper for us generally begins on Advent – this year, the 3rd of December. On that day, the tree gets erected, decorations go up and, if we’ve managed a bit of forward planning, the first door of the Advent calendar gets opened.

There’s a growing number of grown-up Advent calendars on the market – and there’s something for everyone – glamour pusses, real ale drinkers, coffee connoisseurs as well as the sweet-toothed. Here are three of our favourites…

  1. Christmas coffee advent by Perkulatte: £40, Notonthehighstreet
  2. Beer advent calendar: £74.99, The Pip Stop
  3. 24-day beauty advent calendar: £120.00, Selfridges

DANGER… GIRLIE ALERT!

I make the effort, in the summertime when I’m wearing sandals and have my toes on display, to give my toenails a little TLC after they’ve been cooped up in (mainly walking) boots since late last year.

I treated myself a few weeks ago to a couple of bottles of Models Own metallics – namely Gold Rush [centre] & Proper Copper [right]. The one on the left is called Bronze Rage, and I may just need to get myself a bottle of that one too!

They have a HUGE range of colours to chose from – a hundred, if I counted correctly! Have you got a fave?
