Have a Merry Fashionismas!

Christmas is fast approaching and finding a gift is becoming more and more difficult.


If you want to make sure your pressies do not end up in the "Unwanted Gifts" market, give your friends something they will truly like this Christmas.  Here's my top 5.....

1.) Westfield  Gift Card - choose from wide selection of stores in London, Stratford and the Midlands!  Plus choose a card design!   This gift will surely spoil them with a wide range of choices from Shoes, Clothes, Accessories, Fragrance and many many more.....   

2.) Personalised Perfumes from Terapiya UK. - Describe your friend's taste and they will create a scent for him or her.... How personalised?  With a designed label of your friend's name!  Make her feel like a designer fragrance Diva. Available in Eau de Toilette 150ml and 200 ml bottles.   http://www.terapiya.co.uk


3.) Fashion Magazine Subscription - Save them some pennies and have it delivered to their doorstep each month.  Subscribe for 6 months or more!  Available from various suppliers.

4.) Restaurant Vouchers - who would resist food?  find great deals at www.livingsocial.com

5.) Spa Vouchers - Look good and feel great with these vouchers.  We all need a break!

Merry Fashionismas!

Anti Aging Eye Gel

Finally, an organic anti aging eye gel!  This gel is made from aloe vera, palm oil, soya, dead sea extract and cucumber extract.

To use, apply around the eyes and massage in a circular or outward motion.  In 5 minutes, I felt my eyes are refreshed and bags smooth!  This product is only available at facialtherapy.co.uk and Amazon.
