The Magic of Christmas
Hey you wonderful beauties!! I wanted to create a Christmas gift guide this year that focuses on the smaller joys, the thoughtfulness of giving and highlight how powerful all of that combined can be.
What A Year
This year has been sad, it’s been incredible, it’s been painful, it’s been lessons upon lessons, it’s been a movement and it’s shifted social conscious in a way we never expected it to. I know many of us may be looking to leave this year firmly in the past but I hope we take the lessons we’ve learnt with us.
I’m kicking off this guide with The Body Shop!! This household fave and classic brings us some new and unexpected gifts for everyone on your list no matter how big or small. One thing I’ve always valued about this brand is the focus is always natural, it’s affordable and its products really go a long way – so in a roundabout way, it’s worth it’s weight in … gold, no wait..currency, no wait….sigh – you know what I mean!

COME TOGETHER. ACT TOGETHER. GIVING BACK
Something that’s been highlighted in 2020 is that in times of crisis, inequality grows and communities are divided, isolated and left behind. That’s why with every purchase this Christmas, The Body Shop will help support organisations that give back safety, security and a home to the women most affected by the shadow crisis of Covid-19.* Globally, The Body Shop aims to donate a minimum of £250,000 to women’s organisations. With your help, we want to give back even more. Find out more in-store or online at http://www.thebodyshop.com.
