Beauty Steal: @childsfarm Strawberry & Mint range ✨ This has been a huge hit with some special small people in our life, infused with a luscious and not-too-sweet strawberry scent that makes shampooing and conditioning a real pleasure. (They’ll love it – and if they’re too small to wash their own hair, you’ll enjoy it, too.) Specifically, the Child’s Farm Strawberry & Mint range is formulated to tame tangles ‘in half the time’ – and frankly, this would have transformed Jo’s childhood! She was only ‘allowed’ to wash her waist-length hair once a week, because of the time it took for her mum to get a comb through it afterwards. With this? A cinch.

Fab Find of the Week: @officialnavyprofessional hand and cuticle care ✨ Dear Diary: 2026 is going to be the year when we take better care of our nails and cuticles. What with gardening, in particular, we know we’re guilty of failing to give them the TLC they deserve. But now we’ve discovered Navy nail care, we promise all that is going to change…’ As beauty resolutions go, doing more for your nails is a very positive one – not least in dividends swiftly paid, for the amount of effort invested. Cuticles soften swiftly, and don’t any longer snag. Hands look instantly more groomed. And over the slightly longer term, nail health and even growth is enhanced, when you make a habit of daily (or more conveniently, nightly) care: stronger, more flexible nails, resistant to breaks and snaps. Navy is a brilliant new find, then – introduced to us by our friends at @spacenk – which makes regular nail care into a real pleasure.

✨ Your New Year beauty clear-out – what to ditch, what to keep 💫 Why wait for spring for a good clean and a clear-out? This has always seemed like the perfect time of year to say farewell to the old, and make space for some of the new beauty finds that will cross our desks (and sometimes make the leap to our bathroom shelves or make-up bags), in 2026. While we’re pretty allergic to New Year’s Resolutions generally – drop a dress size, start running three times a week, take up Esperanto (all of which are pretty much doomed to have been ditched by mid-Jan), it is definitely within our power to have a bit of a de-junk on the beauty front, making it simpler to find things while ditching products that are definitely past their use-by date, metaphorically or in real terms.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @dr_organic Skin Calm range 😌✨🫶 We’ve talked a little bit lately about the power of oats to soothe skin – they are being harnessed more widely for their impressive power, backed up by research, to multi-task as soothers for inflamed, itchy, dry skin. Strengthening the skin’s all-important barrier, they also hydrate and generally support a healthier skin microbiome. (Certain phenolic compounds in oats also act as antioxidants, reducing oxidative stress in skin cells.) And this multi-tasking, skin-saving power has now been harnessed by the naturals brand Dr.Organic for an entire range – the Skin Calm collection.

✨ Fab Find of the Week: @thisworks Own Time fragrance ✨ With the new year underway and the return to work in full swing, beauty sleep suddenly feels more essential than ever. Introducing This Works Own Time fragrance. We first expected little immediate impact on sleep – because during its launch, This Works CEO Dr. Anna Persaud told us that it would take a wee while of using, to take effect – we duly spritzed at 6 p.m., ‘to start the evening wind-down process’… and slept like a log. Second night: same. And so it has gone on, resulting in easier falling asleep, and fewer night-time expeditions for a wee. That is some achievement. At first, we thought it might be coincidence, but it’s been about six weeks, now, and the benefits are crystal clear. This Works Own Time has been formulated in a really interesting, almost back-to-front way. The specific components of essential oils in the blend were chosen for their power to relax and calm, and the fragrance almost ‘retro-fitted’ from there.

Sarah’s Health Notes: How to help your immune system ❤️ With the current ‘flu epidemic (and other viruses going around), we wanted to share a timely reminder on staying well through the festive season, when it feels like colds and viruses are just waiting to leap out and jinx our plans… Whether or not you’ve chosen to have one or more of the vaccines on offer – like flu, Covid and the less well known but nasty RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) – it makes sense to support your immune system in every way possible.

✨ Jo’s Scent Notes | Christmas Scent of the Day ✨ For years, Jo’s Christmas Day fragrance has been Guerlain Mitsouko - warm, spicy and wonderfully festive. A classic scent that feels made for tradition and celebration. But this year, Jo has fallen for something different: Ambre Antique, a fragrance first created in 1905 and now beautifully relaunched by INFINIMENT COTY PARIS. Ambre Antique was the very first amber perfume ever made. Bold and sensual in its day, it has been faithfully recreated using original handwritten formulas from Coty’s archives. The result feels like stepping back in time. Warm notes of bergamot, vanilla, sandalwood and coumarin are wrapped in rich florals - orange blossom, jasmine, iris and rose - creating a scent that’s comforting, elegant and quietly seductive. With only 1,905 bottles available in the UK, exclusively at Liberty London, this is a truly special Christmas fragrance. #beautybibleloves #scentnotes #scentoftheday #fragrance #christmasfragrance

Fab Find of the Week: @moodsaromatherapy MoodSwings ✨ The first things made us sit up and take notice IMMEDIATELY when we came across the new brand Moods at the John Bell & Croyden showcase recently was that one of its founders, Daniel Smith, trained with our late and much-loved friend, Aromatherapy Associates co-founder Geraldine Howard. Nobody we’ve ever met was more of a master of the art of essential oils, which meant Moods – and their MoodSwings fragrances – had us at ‘hello’. The second hook – oh-so-importantly – was the blends themselves. Leaving aside that they’ve been based on neuroscientific research into their mood-shifting efficacy, they smell just great. Sounds like a given? Not necessarily, and when it comes to aromatherapy, we need to be drawn to the blends on an almost visceral level, in order to encourage use (and thus enjoy the benefits). Each blend is based around eight essential oils, which as we’ve said are carefully chosen for their proven effect on the limbic system, using ‘advanced neuro-imaging, biomarkers and behavioural testing to measure things like focus, reaction time and emotional regulation,’ explains Daniel’s co-founder Gregory Allen.

Fragrant: The Secret Life of Scent by @aftelierperfume 🫶 Mandy Aftel is the world’s leading natural perfumer, and for anyone who’s fascinated by ingredients and maybe even deems of dabbling in making their own fragrances or bodycare, this is the absolute go-to manual. The Art of Being Beautiful by Victoire de Taillac ✨ This is the most charmante little volume, absolutely exquisitely produced, which is part historic document assembled from various beauty books from 120+ years ago, part tongue-in-cheek tale for our times. Teen Skincare by @carolinehirons 🌟 We’re observing that ever-younger girls want to jump on the beauty bandwagon. This is a down-to-earth, no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is myth-busting guide from one of our most knowledgeable colleagues, and if you’re tucking any sort of beauty gift inside a teen’s stocking, slip one of these alongside.

Fab Find of the Week: @austinaustinorganic new handcare ✨ These recently caught our eye. Literally, with their arty packaging – a world apart from the sleek, Jean Cocteau-esque illustrated style that we have come to know the British organic brand Austin Austin for, up till now.

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @sanctuaryspa Aqua Serenity Shower Burst 🧼💙 A shower product that doesn’t strip skin? Absolutely. And hurrah for that. Not only does Sanctuary Spa Aqua Serenity Shower Burst smell pretty-pretty-pretty, with an almost ‘watercolour’ fragrance of lotus and magnolia blossom that will definitely push your buttons if you’re a lover of florals, but it leaves skin velvety and moisturised.
