Rococo Frame My skin feels like its glowing right now! :sparkle: Today I had the chance to restock some of my ointments and creams that had been used up or expired and it is so nice to be able to have a full toilette once more.

The products I use are made locally, in a small country town set into rolling green pastures that make it feel like a little slice of pastoral england. The town is called Balingup and the company is called Tinderbox. I use their cosmetics almost exclusively because they are one of the few that actually use 100% natural ingredients in their skincare, while most “natural” cosmetics are mostly chemicals with a dash of plant extract. :flower: I love opening the little bottles to the scent of orange flower water, freshly cut herbs and precious myrrh, scrubbing my skin with oats and honey and washing my face in morning dew. It makes me feel like Cleopatra or some Princess of old using these ancient recipes.

I also did a little shopping with the Prince, indulged in my favourite Strawberry and Kiwifruit nectar, and bought this beautiful photo frame! I love it’s rococo foliage and now I just have to find a picture to put inside! Perhaps an Angelic Pretty postcard or a little portrait of Marie Antoinette?
