      Loving the photos, and video clip - thanks for giving us a really good laugh today!  😉

      G not big on cosmetics and toiletries, he likes good old soap and water, and quite frankly is so unappreciative of luxury grooming products that I get quite upset when I see him liberally using my precious L'Occitane or Aveda shampoo!

      Shubha, no wonder your skin is so great, you are doing all the right things.  Sadly I'm nowhere near as healthy in my habits as you (blame G of course for being bad influence), and I do use lotions and potions and makeup to try to repair/cover up the damage.  I feel guilty buying expensive stuff, so my three sisters and I use Christmas and birthdays as opportunities to re-stock each other.  Family favourites are Clarins, Decleor, L'Occitane and Aveda.  I also love Origins ginger body and bath stuff.

      Giles uses E45 cream on his face (but I think would be equally happy using lard).

      If I'm buying for myself then Body Shop stuff tops the list.  Also we have L'Occitane and Molton Brown outlet stores nearby, so sometimes I treat myself to an expensive bargain!

      Now I am on a mission to find some Dr Bronners soap to try.

      Holiday treat - take L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil - it's lovely.

      So there you go - I might not know anywhere near enough about denim (yet) but can wax lyrical about poncy potions!

        OMG, Paula I died laughing at this statement !

        PS. I'm also an L'Occitane addict. I shop at the one in The Castro (San Francisco) all the time. It's very near Self Edge, BTW.

          Hee, hee - poor G, he'll probably throw me off the Forum soon!

          Glad you're a fan of L'Occitane, I get some good deals at our local outlet store, will come stocked up when we next visit SF.

          Just ordered some Dr Bronner soaps (citrus and peppermint) and body lotion (patchouli and lime - sounds gorgeous).  Must try to use more natural products.  These look super, thanks to you and Beatle for the double recommendation.

            Paula - great  purchase..you can use the liquid Dr. Bronners for everything..shower, dishes - and the bar sopa is perfect for hand washing ur jeans.  I´m sure Giles will appreciate it as well….

              I use Dr. Bronners liquid soap to wash my jeans. And yeah, Beatle is right, you can use it for every purpuse and beyond. 😃

                Shoque - Bronners for life** Gonna have to try the liquid one day for a hand wash - I was always afraid cause it contains more "oil"

                  Do you usually hand wash your jeans? Cause I either soak them or throw them in the washer, which is impossible to do with the bar soap.

                          Clinque 2 step for me. First i use Liquid Soap then sweep with Scruffing Lotion 3.5. Afterwards it's Lab Series Daily  Moisture Defence SPF 15 through the day and Night Recovery Lotion, unsuprisingly at night.

                          I also use: Lab Series Maximum Shave Comfort Shave Gel
                          Lab Series Purifying Clay Mask
                          Clinique Face Scrub

                          Janina Diamond Toothpaste
                          Dentyl Ph Mouthwash.

                          Have used 'products' of these sorts since my early twenties since i don't have much to work with i wany to keep what i've got looking as good as possible for as long as i can 😉

                            When I wear an undershirt (during the winter), I use a Hugo Boss deo stick, as I use the same eau de toilette, so the smells don't clash. It's éxcellent deodorant. When it's warmer, I don't use anything.

                            Also, as posted in the other thread, only soap I use is:

                              My Dr Bronner's soaps and organic lotion arrived today - soaps (as yet unwrapped) smell delicious (one peppermint, one citrus orange).  Had to try the Patchouli and Lime lotion, the scent is definitely more patchouli than lime - reminiscent of the 70s (can any of you remember that far back?) - lovely texture.  So am looking forward to using… G will not be able to resist me... and vice versa....  😉

                              Thank you for the recommendation!

                                  Great! I looked at the shaving gel and now will buy some for G.  If it feels and smells good - and is by the sounds of it pretty much edible - he might shave more often.

                                  p.s. Having met you in the flesh, I know you only have one, perfectly formed chin!

                                    Oh Stewart, apparently (G tells me) I haven't met you… sorry.  I've seen so many photos of you (and your sexy dad and lovely little boy) I feel like I know you.  Anyway, I am still sure your one chin is perfect.

                                        Please excuse the my complexion and messed up due. This is me at the end of the day after traveling, falling asleep on the train, and taking my shirt off… All which changed the integrity of the new dew.

                                        Please keep in mind that the first few days of a new haircut, the hair is in shock. It will settle down over the next couple of days.
