New Year Zing!

I’m also thrilled that we now have the delicious new Energising Body Wash (UK, US) – I adore the rosey aroma of Energising Hip & Thigh Gel (UK, US), so having two new products with this aroma (also Energising Body Scrub) is heaven for me – I will be using these post-pregnancy to get me back in shape! The new trio body wash offer is inspired – one for me (Energising), one for my husband (Men’s Face & Body Wash) and one for our baby, in due course (Orange Flower). We listened hard to our customers, who loved the natural foaming agents in our body wash formula (a mix of corn & coconut, with soap bark) and so at last we have a choice for devotees. Let us know what you think…

We visited some beauty stores at a big shopping mall last night – called Mission Viego. Debbie – the head of customer care at the new customer centre – promised us that it’s not all as it seems on ‘Housewives of Orange County’. We found a new 100% natural perfume which we’re bringing back to our Product Development team in the UK to look at as a competitor study – would be great to bring out our own perfumes one day, though I do love Vital Oils Body Sprays. Shopping out here is big style, with huge clean and sparkling malls – and so much choice! There are a few UK brands here, but nothing unusual that we’ve discovered so far. Home-cooked dinner tonight at Debbie’s home – delicious and healthy, just perfect brain food and lots of anti-oxidant rich fresh vegetables. I’m trying to drink lots of water out here and it’s really helping my skin keep supple and soft, despite the air conditioning. I sleep like a log tonight – must be the English home-cooked meal.
