Post January Update
So here's a quick update on whats been happening this January and onto this February:
Alex started his new job in the first week of Jan. He is loving it and working on a photo shoot as we speak. Literally couldn't be happier for him!
I have been working out a lot this month, doing Yoga every day, up until recently as I have been unwell. On top of this, I have also been doing the 30 day shred at least 3 times a week. I am totally feeling stronger, leaner and more focused since starting on this new regime.
We have been on a healthy eating mission and loving it still. It's something we hope to continue and will start sharing some of our favourite recipes soon.
I have been reflecting on myself a lot and aim to start working on some new exciting creative projects, to get back into things.
We are also now in the process of sorting our wardrobes out and are both on a mission to get the perfect basics wardrobe between us.
February brings a more positive outlook on life, as we strive to reach our goals. This month, in order to keep motivated, we both aim to look after our mind and body as much as possible, as well as each other.

DR
The winter months are really taking their toll and my skin is really suffering the effects of the cold, especially my lips and hands. I have been suffering from severe Chapped lips which has been awful and prevented me from wearing any of my favourite lipsticks. I have tried everything, Vaseline, Blistex, Burts Bees - nothing was doing the trick. Until I saw an advert for Dr Paw Paw which reminded me of a balm someone from work had picked up in Australia and had showed me months back, containing a similar formula of Fermented Papaya. From this moment, I had made my mind up I needed to get hold of this supposed 'Miracle Balm'. I managed to track down that it was being stocked in Harvey Nichols, which is a convenient walk away from my house. I slapped it on and lo and behold, a couple of days later my lips were pretty much back to normal! It seems to have done exactly what I wanted - the formula is very thick, so you don't need much, but it really does feel like it is nourishing and helping as soon as you apply it. It sinks in, but stays on your lips too, leaving them feeling moisturised and also protected.
It's also worth noting, that as well as using on your lips, you can use it on your skin, cuticles, nails and even your hair. I used this on my chapped hands too, but as it is quite thick, I personally prefer using my trusty Super Moisturising Balance Me Hand Cream.

Pimlico Road
Just a five minute walk from our house, lies the beautiful Pimlico Road, a treasure trove of interior shops, florists and chocolatiers. I am lucky to walk by this area on a daily basis during my commute to the office. Occasionally when I'm not rushing by, I take the opportunity to photograph some of the elegantly curated window displays. The collections are an inspiration for us, an ever growing wish list of items for our own home, one day I hope that our house will look just as smart and sleek as these shops.

Aesop
Our love affair with Aesop started when we were enticed into one of the stores, excited by the wonderful minimalist in-store environments. We went on to spend a small fortune after falling for the packaging design and scents of the variety of apothecary inspired products. Slowly but surely we have built up our collection of products ever since this day.
Just before Christmas we invested in a couple of new additions to the collection. We have already tried a lot of the facial skincare, such as the Fabulous Face oil and the Fabulous Face Cleanser, which I absolutely love - they also look great in the bathroom, but having run out of a good body exfoliator, this Geranium Leaf Body Scrub was on the top of my hit list.
I am pleased to say, it genuinely is the best body exfoliator I have tried and probably my favourite Aesop product. The consistency is amazing, very thick and grainy with the pumice and bamboo stems, which really does the trick. You have to be careful that you don't squeeze out too much though, as due to the pressure of the tube packaging as soon as you open the lid, it comes pouring out, so be aware. After use, my skin is left feeling super soft, hydrated and polished - it is the ultimate in body exfoliators for me. It also smells amazing - it reminds me of a spa experience and isn't sweet at all, which is great, as this is something that really bugs me about many exfoliators on the market. Described as an 'invigorating' scrub, I would say this is the perfect way to describe the scent - it's ideal to use in the shower when you first wake up. It really is an invigorating start to your morning! It also leaves your skin feeling cleansed - I find that many scrubs leave a coating on your skin after use, however this is not the case at all. I cannot recommend it enough and will definitely be getting more when I am done with this!

As interior design enthusiasts, we are always on the look out for new additions to our home. I really like the idea of having a variety of scatter cushions of which we can change up to give our room a bit of a different look. As mostly everything we have is white, I like to mix some different neutrals and prints to break things up a bit. I just wanted to show off this new cushion cover we purchased from H&M home. I feel that there are some great gems to find in there and am super impressed with the range of cushion covers in there at the moment.

Monica Vinader
I have been pretty much obsessed with Monica Vinader for quite a while now and was so excited when on my birthday, Alex presented me with a little bag with the name Monica Vinader inscribed in gold. Inside, carefully nestled in tissue paper, I found the little box, wrapped delicately in twine. I am in love! I don't think this ring will be leaving my finger any time soon. It's the Siren Stacking Ring, in 18ct Gold Plated Vermeil on Sterling Silver and Labradorite. In certain lights the stone looks quite green and at other times, it is a golden amber colour, which I find perfect to wear everyday (apparently it matches my eyes). There are flecks of a darker colour and a line running through the middle, which I think is so beautiful. Alex told me that each stone looked so different, making this ring a one of a kind, which makes it even more personal and the perfect birthday present. Hopefully I can add to my collection in the coming months... Christmas isn't too far away!
