I have found four new products in the past week and I wonder how I managed without them!
First, my skincare. I popped into the Body Shop and decided to give their Vitamin E skincare range a go as I felt that my skin needed a little boost. I decided to use their Illuminating cream and also their night cream. Both of which I really really like and can see the difference already. My skin is clearer and healthier looking and my mum even said how ‘fresh’ I was looking!
Whilst in the Body Shop I decided to get one of their Tea Tree Oil Blemish Stick for those pesky outbreaks. I have used this on a spot and it has virtually disappeared and without over drying it as well so you can still cover it with make up easily.
The other wonder product I have discovered is from Holland and Barrett. I wanted to get something to help my weight loss a little but something that wasn’t too ’artifical’. After speaking to a very nice lady who works there I decided on their Super Green Tea Diet Pills. I have always been a little weary about diet pills so I spent a lot of time googling these and believe it or not, I couldn’t find anything bad about them at all!
Basically I have to take a pill mid morning and a pill mid afternoon and this is enough to help curb my appetite (not too much but enough to stop the snacking!) and also increase my metabolism. And I have to say I am really pleased with the results! I have a lot more energy so instead of just sitting in my armchair I am finding things to do and therefore being more active. I have also found it easier to resist the snacking so all in all I am happy! There is one down side though, I can’t stop talking for about two hours after taking them! And believe me I can talk for England at the best of times LOL! My poor Dad is the one who has copted it the most as he was at mine all weekend and I work with him – poor man! Ha ha!




I’m sure I have those Vit E ones upstairs to try.. but I also picked up a Boots Time Delay one yesterday.. now I don’t know which to try! LOL The blemish stick sounds good too.

Hi Lily, I lost about a stone (in about 2 months) and have started taking them again as I would like to lose another stone and then I will be happy!
I weigh a little more than you (roughtly 150Ibs) and would like to get down to about 133Ilbs – 140Ibs ish. With my height if I get any smaller than that I look really skinny and unhealthy!
Good luck!
