Achieving smooth soft skin as well as many other health benefits dry body brushing can help you with, the best thing is its easy to do!
Brushing your dry body before a bath or shower preferably in the morning will be an easy routine u can follow.
Start at your feet and always brush towards your heart using either small circular motions or long even strokes, both methods work well so its whatever one suits you best and you find the easiest.
Continue to brush all the way up your legs then over your abdomen, buttocks and back.
When reaching your arms, begin at your fingers and work your way up the arms, then brush your shoulders and chest down towards your heart.
Never use hard pressure with the brush around sensitive areas but u can change the pressure around areas like your feet as these are less sensitive.
Dry body brushing does have numerous health benefits and these are:
Lymphatic system:
In your body the lymphatic system is responsible for eliminating cellular waste products. Hundreds of miles of lymphatic tubules allow waste to be collected from your tissues and transported to your blood for elimination, This is referred to as lymphatic drainage.
Exfoliation:
Dry body brushing effectively removes dry dead skin and many benefits can be felt and seen when this method has been achieved. Soft smooth skin with a more healthy appearance.
Increase Circulation:
Dry body brushing increases circulation to your skin which then encourages elimination of metabolic waste.
Stress Relief:
Many users report that when they are dry body brushing they feel invigorated, because it feels so good. Likening it to a light massage that can reduce muscle tension, calm your mind and relieve stress.
You don't have to spend a fortune when purchasing a dry body brush. I would suggest buying one that does come with a handle, so you will be able to reach your back area. Start off with less pressure to begin with so you get used to the bristles of the brush, which gives you that sensation on your skin and body from the bristles.
Avoid brushing anywhere near broken skin or skin that is cut or wounded or that might have an infection. Just remember dry body brushing should be an enjoyable experience and not like you are taking a scouring pad to your skin. Brush, relax and enjoy! X Neil.

Any room your wanting to create an atmosphere in requires some sort of speakers to either enjoy listening to your favourite music or radio station.
Portable speakers have become popular with their added benefit of being just that "portable" by the speaker not being fixated to just one space, thanks to the leads we all used on old speakers back in the day.
Using bluetooth from your own phone to connect to a bluetooth enabled speaker was not only easy to do, but was also a quick fix for the user to enjoy their music playlist in seconds.
Technology is always evolving and it was only a matter of time before speakers evolved, bringing the consumer something new and different whilst also introducing a new shiny speaker in your home.
August Multiroom WiFi Speakers offer the user a whole range of options on what these speakers can do for the listener.
The options are:
Multiroom WiFi Speaker for Android And Apple Devices.
Bluetooth NFC Connectivity For Non WiFi Devices.
Audio-In Socket For Non Bluetooth Devices.
Integrated USB Port - Model WS300G.
Integrated Micro SD Card Reader - Model WS150G.
Long Life Built-In Rechargeable Batteries.
Unboxing both models which are the WS300G (The largest of the two) and the WS150G (The smallest) the speakers are protected well in the box packaging. You also receive a USB cable, Audio cable and a user manual.
It is suggested you charge the speaker fully before first use with the provided USB cable to a powered USB port, a full charge can take up to 7 hours.
Whilst the speaker is charging this will give you time to download the App "Aug Alink" either from Google Play if you own an android device or if you have an Iphone from the Apple Store.
Enable WiFi on your device and connect to your network. Switch on the speaker and after only 20 seconds the speaker will enter WiFi mode with the lights of the speaker letting you know what stage the speaker is at.
Using the app on your chosen device, whether that would be a phone or tablet, you can now proceed to run the application and press "WiFi Setup Wizard/Add Device". The wizard will glide you through the setup stages with ease and if you want to add another device to the list like the other model speaker you can do this by repeating the steps, the setup wizard takes you through.
That is not all the speakers can do, other benefits are:
You can connect your phone or tablet directly to the speakers WiFi network which then will turn your speaker into a router.
Bluetooth Connection, by enabling Bluetooth on your source device, you then proceed to scan for devices and select WS150 or WS300 to connect and once paired, the status LED light of the speaker will turn blue.
NFC Connection, Enable Bluetooth and NFC on your device and make sure the speaker is in bluetooth mode. Touch the NFC area of your source device against the NFC area of the speaker and they will automatically be paired together.
Multi and Solo Mode (WiFi Connection only).
Solo mode enables multiple speakers connected to the same network to play different music individually whilst Multi mode enables a group of speakers to play the same music, this option can be used to separate left and right channels between speakers.
The August Multiroom WiFi Speakers are by default in solo mode whilst the WS300 can play music from an USB stick the WS150 can play music from an inserted SD card. Another option is by using the provided audio cable you can connect your source device to the speaker.
Setting up the speakers is really easy and using the app to control the speakers gives the user many options in their control and at your finger tips. You can set up the speakers in one room or place in different rooms whilst enjoying the crystal clear sounds the speakers produce, at a touch of a button. Not only do these speakers look great they also don't take up much room, which is even better when your looking for available space in your home.

Looking online and searching specifically for scents i came across Frankie By Ariana Grande. Now i know Ariana has had her first perfume on the market for quite some time and i still have not purchased, but what really caught my attention about Frankie is that this perfume is marketed unisex!
Usually with a celebrity perfume collection they wait much further down line to either release a male scent or just don't bother at all, so for Ariana to release a unisex scent much early in her scent range is such a rarity and plus point for the fans and consumers!
Frankie is the combination of both Ariana and her older step brother Frankie which incorporates both their personalities and vibrant energies, to deliver a soul fuelled dynamic scent with a heavenly sweet sugar fix.
Top notes are pink pepper with apricot and pear that bring flirty fruits that playfully play with the heart of Frankie with wild orchid and cedar. The base which consists of sandalwood and musk brings a creamy and warm element whilst crystal sugar adds the sweetness that brings a unique seductive element, to help Frankie be so irresistible when sprayed.
The box which features black and white artwork brings a modern retro twist that separates itself from the normal celebrity packaging, just by keeping itself simple.
I was amazed just how great the futuristic sphere bottle in silver colour with black pom pom really is, as this oozes character when in use or sitting centre stage where you keep your other scents.
Frankie works remarkably well at being unisex, for both genders to enjoy this scent at any event you might be attending or for day to day wear.
Just make sure you purchase yours as Frankie is a limited edition 50ml Eau de Parfum. X Neil.

Any skin expert will tell you that using a face mask in your skincare regime is an important step in achieving your skin goal.
Using a mask can help you with your skincare concerns and by choosing the right mask it will not only draw out impurities but also remove excess oils and help with the appearance of pores.
One Important thing to remember is choosing a mask that will help you with your skin problem. You wont see results if you have dry skin and then purchase a mask for oily skin, the mask will dry out your skin even more from the ingredients it will contain and then your skin problem will be even worse.
The skin products available now are quite good in labelling what specific skin group they are targeted and suitable for making it easier for me and you!
Ooharr have launched two new natural cream face masks that are packed full of anti-oxidant rich ingredients to nourish and revitalise skin, making these a perfect facial detox to use at home.
Juicy Burst and Fruity Magic offer help to combat blemishes and breakouts, we all suffer from them ;).
The One-time application masks thoroughly cleanse without stripping essential moisture, that will leave your skin with a healthy glow and those pesky pores behaving, thanks to the natural ingredients and essential oils.
Juicy Burst – Nourishing Cream Face Mask.
Oranges pack a punch in this nourishing and revitalising face mask. Get set to see off dull skin with a burst of Vitamin C – out to deep cleanse and improve skin texture, leaving it hydrated and feeling smooth. Antioxidant-rich natural ingredients such as pore-tightening Lime; rejuvenating Cucumber; soothing Calendula and refreshing Olive all work together in a quest to give a flawless complexion.
Fruity Magic – Rejuvenating Cream Face Mask.
Give skin an antioxidant boost with magical Pomegranate – the star turn in this powerhouse of a mask. Jam-packed with nutrients thanks to a host of natural ingredients like rejuvenating Green Tea, skin -soothing Aloe and regenerating Honey. Also featuring vitamins A, C and E, it is the perfect detox – leaving skin soft and supple with a natural glow. Can also help treat spot-prone skin.
The masks are both Paraben and MIT free, Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is becoming increasingly popular as a preservative to replace parabens. Even some products claiming to be certified organic, use this preservative. The funky packaging with Andy Warhol inspired imagery makes these masks an excuse to have fun whilst getting pampered!
Each mask which contains 15ml of its specific skin saviour ingredients has more than enough to cover your whole face and all you have to do is relax and let these masks do all the work.
My skin felt thoroughly cleansed and more importantly moisturised, making these a great step in your skincare to use weekly and using before applying your serum and moisturiser, to get the best out of those products you may use.
The Ooharr brand was created by Amphora Aromatics – one of the UK’s largest suppliers of pure essential oils and aromatherapy products. The Ooharr range remains true to Amphora Aromatics’ core values – sourcing the best quality ingredients and creating innovative formulations at affordable prices.
The masks are retailing at £1.20 which makes them affordable and effective skin loving products that are suitable for all skin types! X Neil.

The Body Scrub which is rose coconut is in a sealed pouch.
The smell from this scrub is absolutely gorgeous and is pure luxury to use!
I apply the body scrub to wet skin and work in circular motions making sure i exfoliate all areas of skin on my body.
The body scrub is great to exfoliate all over and doesn't feel harsh like some scrubs i have used in the past.
Whats great is the body scrub is made with raw cane sugar as well as pink salt so its natural and organic!
This didn't leave my skin dried out or itchy thanks to the moisturising properties in the body scrub which are:
Sunflower oil, Shea Butter, Rose Flower Oil and more.
This left my skin super soft and moisturised whilst also being an excellent body scrub!
The Rose Body Oil which is excellent to apply to damp skin after a shower or bath is great to hydrate and revitalise your skin.
It comes with an eye dropper, so is easy to apply from the bottle into your hands for you then to apply to your skin.
The Rose Body Oil sinks into skin without much effort when massaging in.
The scent of rose is really calming to your senses and also leaves your skin lovely and smooth.
It feels really moisturising to the skin without that greasy feeling where your clothes stick to you and you just feel uncomfortable.
A delight to use!
The Rose Water Mist Is in a spray bottle and is effective to spray on your face with your eyes closed.
You can spray onto your face and neck and then wipe with a cotton bud or can be used without wiping the skin to hydrate.
I like to spray this on my face in the morning before applying any products and at night before bed.
This spray can be applied over products when you need a hydration boost during the day.
The smell is delightful and leaves skin feeling moisturised whilst restoring your skins pH balance and absorbs excess oils.
Quick and easy to add to your skincare routine!
Lip & Body Butter is in a tin that has a twist off top. This is great to put in your bag when u need some hydration and moisture boost during the day.
This leaves my lips so soft when i need an instant boost and will be for sure using this lip butter during the winter when most people suffer from dry lips. It does not feel overly greasy on the lips but leaves a natural shine to them.
You can also use this as a body butter but i use it on my hands and cuticles to help keep them soft.
You only need a small amount to apply, as the butter does cover a wide area and glides over skin.
Lovely gorgeous smell of that luxury rose scent!
This Beauty Box is a must purchase to experience organic and natural products that work even better than some well known branded products!
Each product works extremely well in moisturising the skin, whilst also caring and nurturing your skin thanks to its natural and organic ingredients.
