DIY Firming, Anti-Cellulite Body Oil

Do you enjoy using body oils that help with cellulite and to firm up your skin but hate having to pay out so much money for them? Then how about making your own?

This simple DIY blend is cost efficient and is tailor made to you!

So how is a homemade body oil going to help with something like cellulite? Well, to answer this, I am going to quote Sue Charles who posted this on Quinessence whilst discussing what causes cellulite:

"Poor circulation is cited time and again as a causative factor, which is why massaging with essential oils is such a great remedy for cellulite. This powerful combination increases circulation and helps with the elimination of toxins by unblocking lymphatic congestion, and when done correctly, massage helps break up the fatty deposits too.

Cellulite always looks much worse if you are suffering from fluid retention, and massage activates the lymph vessels and nodes which help to transport toxins out of the body. The use of the correct essential oils facilitates this action, and there are several ones to choose from to make up a blend."

The Best of Birchbox - First half of 2014

We’re already half way through the year. I know, already! Therefore, I decided to take a mid-year look back at what Birchbox UK has had to offer so far in 2014. I could easily be writing this at the end of the year, but due to the difficulty that I have had trying to narrow down this list, I have decided to split it into half year sections!

If you don't know what Birchbox is, then please check out my 'Beauty Boxes' page for a quick explanation!

Due to the fact that Birchbox select what samples each person will be receiving, there are certain products that I never had the chance to test out. This means that those products weren’t really able to be taken into consideration. However, if you received different products that you would classify as being one of the best that you have received this year so far, definitely leave a comment at the end!

In regards to planning out my list, there was only one way that I could really structure it. I have selected my favourite products in the format of a Birchbox: 5 samples and an additional lifestyle extra!

So without further ado, here is my list of ‘The Best of Birchbox 2014 part 1,’ with part 2 coming at the end of the year:

Cellu-Cup

Today I'm going to be reviewing something that arrived in my March 2014 Birchbox: Cellu-cup!

Now, if you are anything like me, you'll probably be sitting there right now wondering what on Earth this odd contraption is. What the heck does it do!? How are you supposed to even use that thing!? Do not fear! I will explain all.
