So I’ve just been introduced to Seascape Island Apothecary…

Seascape Island Apothecary is a 100% natural essential oil - based collection of luxury bath & body ranges for the whole family. Their ranges include hair care, hand care, three different bath and body ranges, luxurious products that are maternity-safe, a men's range, and the a range for babies and children.

Having tried a number of products through their ranges, my absolute favourite has to be the Soothe Sleep Oil, ‘with natural essential oil of Lavender to relax and calm, as well as the oils from Grape Seed, Sweet Almond, Bitter Orange Flower and Mandarin Orange Peel to balance the mind and deliver a gentle fragrance’. After hectic days of work and parenting a toddler and teenager, this really is great for relaxing and unwinding. The smell of Lavender isn’t too overpowering and works well; my sleep pattern has definitely improved. I’m a big fan of Lavender and its relaxing, calming properties, but nothing I have tried is as effective as this. The packaging for this is rather pretty and would make a perfect gift.

Sara Miller London

Sara Miller London

Its easy to see why Sara Miller is an ‘award winning’ designer with her stunning collections of designs in home fragrance, stationery, greeting cards, gift packaging and homewares. Her collections stand out from the crowd, with her stunning designs, vibrant colours, gold embellishments and delicate embossing.

I love her quirky and enchanting Flamingo collection, each one a must have (even if I don’t have an actual need) and have been an instant hit here in our office. I found myself buying the stationary range for my desk to recreate the beautiful lifestyle imagery that she tempts us with, including the Magazine rack, Document wallets and Flamingo Notebook. I’ve added a Grapefruit, Tonca & Yuzu Diffuser to my office, to add warmth and comfort with the aroma, and the Flamingo Thermal Flask to carry my drink with me throughout the day. (Confessing here to having a Flamboyant Flamingo Mug hidden safely in my draw for special occasions, meetings etc).

The ‘Sara Miller’ office conversion has happened and now I feel I must do the same at home with her stunning Chelsea Collection tableware. Perfect for sophisticated Afternoon Tea, Girly get together’ s and family gatherings, this luxurious collaboration with Portmeirion Pottery is textured with 22-carat-gold detailing making it worthy of keeping on permanent display.
Being a trendsetter throughout 2017, I’m really excited to see what Sara Miller has in store for us in 2018!

T’is almost the Christmas season (and feels like it gets earlier and earlier every year!) and it’s no secret that I absolutely love this time of year.
