It’s the first official week of autumn! Cue much excitement from me. That seasonal magic gets me every time. This week I’ve been loving all the little signs that autumn has arrived: colder evenings, gorgeous produce and getting a spider’s web stuck to my face every time I get my bike out in the morning.
Here’s what else I’ve been loving this week…
Vintage scarves. Those beige and brown silky little scarves from the 1970s are finally having their moment again. Ten a penny in the charity shop and so useful for adding a little autumnal hint to your jeans and tees. Mine was £1.99 from Oxfam, and there were loads to choose from. They go pretty well with a teddy coat too, mine is by New Look.
English rose cleansing balm by Marks and Spencer. I’ve been using cleansing balms for most of 2018 and I much prefer them to cream cleansers. Massaging a balm into your skin feels like such a nourishing way to cleanse your skin, leaving it feeling soft and plump. This cleansing balm from the Marks and Spencer Pure range has a very pleasing consistency, a little like lemon curd. It’s a pleasure to use. I have combination skin and this seems to keep my dry skin at bay, whilst not causing any unnecessary sheen on my nose and chin. Plus it smells amazing.
Pumpkins. Forget conkers, I really know it’s autumn when I buy my first mini pumpkins from our local veg stall. I feel stupidly excited when I see them and buy lots – mainly just so I can stroke them and put them on various windowsills.
