I have always liked MOR. I enjoy nourishing body products that help to heal and protect the skin, especially as I get older, and MOR is great as far as healing goes. They go beyond body care into perfumes and home goods as well, which are just as popular as their creams and scrubs. MOR is best known for their Marshmallow range. I personally prefer stronger fragrances with more musk woods or sweetness.

If you are after something a bit different this winter season, prepare to take a trip into the dark, mysterious woods with MOR’s Wild Sage range. MOR is a forever-popular home and body brand, known for its nourishing creams and unique, long-lasting scents. The Wild Sage range is not any different. A top note of sage, with middle notes of vetiver and pine leaf to create a herby-woody scent that would not be out of place in a forest. The base notes of musk and ambergris complete this deep, heady aroma.

Flashy skin-care has been getting popular on social-media platforms lately. There are dermatologists on TikTok dancing to skin products, girls exhibiting their routines, and no small amount of poking, prodding, and squeezing of blackheads. Dr Sandra ‘Pimple-Popper’ Lee, a popular YouTube dermatologist made famous for squeezing blackhead among other skin ailments, has even gotten her own TV show on TLC in recent years. However, the increase in popular skin care absolutely does not mean you should go pop-crazy on your own face- that will only cause damage, pain, and probably more blemishes. The best way to deal with blackheads is a little patience and TLC- and not Dr Pimple-Popper’s kind.

Since the Embrace line from Vera Wang was first introduced in 2015, I believe that it has gotten limited attention, which is sad as they are some of my favourite fragrances. Each perfume in the range is inspired by intimacy and emotion and constructed with natural, light notes. There is something that will appeal to everyone in the five different fragrances, from sweet and warm to light and calming.

It feels as if every year, it gets harder and harder to come up with creative gift ideas for friends and family. So, I've racked my brains to think of some super solutions for these tricky friends and family. Below are some of my tops picks for gifts to buy when the person you're buying for has everything.

Teenage girls are hard to buy for as they’ve outgrown many of the easy go to gifts typically bought for children, but are not quite ready for more mature and practical presents. A perfume or fragrance is the perfect gift idea as it is practical, but can be used everyday and comes beautifully packaged.

It feels as if every year it gets harder to Christmas shop for teenagers; especially boys! Toys and games are great for kids, but teenagers have often outgrown these types of gifts and aren’t quite old enough for conventional adult presents. While it can be difficult to determine what's alluring to boys, a cologne can be a fantastic Christmas gift idea for a teenage boy who is beginning to forge their own identity
