Cooking, Cooking and More Cooking

I have been doing so much cooking this past week, I made the Death by Chocolate cake to take to the in-laws, I also made Nigella's Christmas Rocky Road which didn't last very long, Luca made a lovely dinner Christmas Eve, he followed Delia Smith's recipe for Roast Gammon and cooked it with roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips and cauliflower cheese. I am returning to the gym this week after eating my entire body weight in Celebrations, easing myself in not so gently with a 5km run ... wish me luck!

The Ginger Sparkle Collection from the Body Shop

Ginger has to be one my all time favourite scents, so I was really looking forward to trying out the Ginger Sparkle Body Polish and the Ginger Sparkle Body Butter from the Body Shop's Christmas collection, both have a lovely festive zingy ginger fragrance that lingers on the skin. The body polish is the perfect in shower exfoliator, I massage this into wet skin and then rinse, it removes any dead skin cells and leaves my skin feeling really soft and clean. After my shower I apply the body butter to dry skin, it sinks into the skin really well and again leaves me feeling super soft and moisturised.   

The Christmas collection also includes Vanilla Bliss and Cranberry Joy and I cannot wait to try these. Have you purchased anything from the Body Shop's Christmas collection?
