I’ve long been a fan of the Clarins Body Shaping Cream for its creamy & luxurious, butter like texture and results! But this winter, it’s being relaunched, packed with Red Poppy extract with its exceptional refining power.

Says Clarins: “Used for the first time in a Clarins contouring product, poppy extract has demonstrated – in in vitro studies carried out in Clarins Laboratories – its capacity to slow the storage of fats while also stimulating their release.”

Surface area of the fat lobules

An astonishing effect was observed in ultrasonic measurement of the protruding fat lobules, which are responsible for the characteristic appearance of cellulite: the surface area of the fat lobules decreased for 100 % of the subjects. After four weeks, it was reduced by an average of 23.24 %, after eight weeks the surface area reduction averaged 34.51 % and after twelve weeks it was down by 44.06 %. According to the independent research institute, such an effect has never before been observed with any competing product.

Juno Blankets

I’m mad about Mungo Designs new cotton Juno Blankets! And what a sweet story behind them! It has been designed and adapted from the traditional coverlet patterns that were woven in America and Europe during the 18th Century.

Coverlets were created and woven by women to express their artistry and skill. During the 18th and 19th centuries, women of all social strata made quilts and coverlets. Although many of these were meant to be primarily utilitarian, they were often designed to be pleasing to the eye as well, and sometimes they were imbued with significance far beyond being simple covers for a bed. Bedcovers were often wedding gifts, or made by a young woman to take with her to her future husband’s house. If that new home was distant from friends and family, a bedcover became an important keepsake from her old life. Quilts were also made to celebrate the birth of a child, and other momentous occasions.
