Rub a dub dub

I just love a good scrub. 

 

I know this is supposed to be a blog about the woes of being an unemployed graduate, but frankly, it's beginning to bore me. So what better than to do a mini review about Soap and Glory skincare! (I'll try and find a way of linking it into employment of sorts)

So, as I was saying, I love a scrub in the tub and I find Soap and Glory products do just the job. Not only do the products leave you feeling scrubbed and cleansed to perfection, their hilarious packaging will have you in stitches, revolutionising your skincare regime! I'm currently looking for a job in marketing and I think what Soap and Glory have done with their packaging and brand marketing is so original and entertaining. It defintely has me returning to buy their products over and over again. (See, I told you I could link it to a job search some how...!)

For an evening of perfect pampering, I start by running a lovely steamy bubble bath using Calm One Calm All, £5.11. Whilst the tub fills its time to turn your attention to your face. 

Start by dampening your skin and apply a generous squeeze of The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser, £9.19. Massage all over your face for at least a minute and then leave on for a further 60 seconds. Feel it melt away your muckiness! Wash off with the muslim cloth provided.

Next it's time to scrub yourself like you never have before! Apply a tiny dab of  Scrub Your Nose In It, £7.40  to your T-Zone and any other problem areas and massage in then rinse. If your skin begins to develop a rosy hue then you're doing it right. If your interested in the science bit, then exfoliating helps prevent large pores and blemishes. 


Now we move onto the mask. The Fab Pore Facial Peel, £7.15 is like a celebrity chemical peel (without causing the hole in your bank balance or frightning children post peel). The perfect anecdote to greasy and spot prone skin, rub into skin untill the green beads dissolve. Then jump in the bath and leave on for 15 minutes to work its magic. 

Now your in the tub it's time to treat your body. Smother yourself in Some Like It Hot, £7.92 and bask in the warming sensation of this body scrub. Exfoliating never felt so good!

So your out of the bath and your face mask is off, it's time to soothe your skin after all that action. Glow Job , £8.17 is a daily face moisturiser that leaves you with a gorgeous glow thanks to  its micro Bronzeburst beads. Finally, coat yourself in The Righteous Butter, £10.21 a sumptuous body butter that will leave your skin feeling silky smooth!


See, that took my mind of the job search for at least 30 minutes and now my skin looks and feels just lovely!

It's been a while...

It's been nearly 4 months since I last posted, and as much as I wish I could say it's because I am now working at the job of my dreams, that would unfortunately be a lie. I do have a job...(in a bank-not quite the creative outlet I had hoped for) however, there was a day when after folding pieces of paper and putting them into envelopes for a solid 4 hours, I couldn't help but reflect how my career path has gone slightly off track...

It's really not all doom and gloom though. In fact, if anything I think my current job has restored some faith in myself. After months on end of unpaid internships and an endless steam of rejection letters, (well actually more often than not I just don't hear anything-is it really that hard to send out a generic 'sorry, not this time thanks' email?) whilst I may not be in a job that challenges me, or excites me at the moment, at least I've realised that in fact I am employable, people seem to like me in a work environment and they recognise that I'm pretty hardworking too.

And that's not too shabby!
