TRY THIS 'Mini Artists' by Zara
‘Mini Artists’ by Zara Beauty is a new line of kid-friendly face paints and water-soluble nail polishes designed with make-up artist Diane Kendal. Ideal for imaginative dress-up sessions and creative play, this is a vibrant, fun and safe range for kids to use. The capsule beauty line includes both products and accessories designed to allow children to “push creative self-expression and imagination” through the “exploration of tones, textures and patterns”. It includes a range of 12 nail polishes (six matte, six glitter) that can be removed with water, as well as powder palettes that come in neon, pastel and primary colours, with stencils that can be used together to create cute shapes or spell out words on skin. There are also cream pots in glittery and non-glittery shades that are perfect for face painting and, our favourite, easy to use face colour pencils with bright colours and a creamy texture that makes them simple for kids to experiment with creating their wildest creations before effortlessly removing them.
USE THIS Weleda Stretch Mark Body Butter
Being pregnant can be hugely exciting but the realities of what that does to your skin and body can be overwhelming. Stretch marks are not only a normal skin issue, but a very common one. But it’s easy to give your growing bump the care it needs, even if you only have a bit of time for a massage. Weleda Stretch Mark Body Butter is ideal for shorter massage sessions, for example in the morning, when you need to get dressed quickly. It contains a mix of shea butter, sunflower oil, sweet almond oil, and pansy extract, which gives this body butter a smooth texture that very easily melts into the skin for full absorption.
STAY FIT HERE Bodyism, Notting Hill
‘Be Kind To Yourself’: The simple ethos followed by fitness and lifestyle brand BODYISM. This applies to new mums, mums-to-be, and quite frankly, every woman. Take a moment to listen to what your mind and body need, allowing yourself to make positive changes across the four pillars of health: mindset, nutrition, movement, sleep. As far as a healthy lifestyle goes, founder James Duigan’s holistic approach to health is simple: eat a nutrition-packed diet (no calorie counting!) and lead an active lifestyle incorporating simple, core exercises. Not particularly groundbreaking, but there’s a reason you’ll likely rub shoulders with models, celebrities and the occasional royal at their Notting Hill venue. Select from a series of classes, personal training sessions or treatments, and finish with an incredible smoothie in their healthy cafe, or grab one of their powders to add to your daily juice.
