I never really get the fuss over Valentine’s Day, not least because I’m a miserable bastard, but it’s my birthday which means I neatly get to sidestep all the tacky gifts and overpriced flowers. It also means I can be the saviour of all my single/heartbroken/dead inside friends with a V-Day event that definitely isn’t pukesome. Unless you’re going crazy on the Jaegerbombs or something.
That doesn’t stop me getting a waft of the vibes in the air, this year I’ve been feeling rosy. It’s a nice way to get into that fluffy-duffly (just made that up) romantic mood without losing what little remains of your street cred. Weleda’s Wild Rose body Oil smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling super soft, just what I need this time of year when everything feels grey and blah. Similarly, Ren’s ultra-gentle Moroccan Rose Otto body wash is a winter failsafe, blooming up the shower with a flowery fragrance. Gotta love a bit of rose gold, this angular COS bangle is exactly the kind of no-nonsense high-impact jewellery that I like. Lastly, a new purchase, Mac’s Cremeblend Blush in Ladyblush is the perfect match for my olive skin, giving me a rosy, flushed glow.
