An edible cosmetic called Bestow Beauty Oil is creating a wholenew approach to skincare in New Zealand by treating our skin from within.

Bestow Beauty Oil is the first skincare product of its kind and is designed to treat the deepest layers of your skin to leave it feeling soft, smooth and velvety.

One tablespoon of Bestow Beauty Oil a day will deliver the perfect balance of Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) to your skin. As these deep skin cells move up through the layers towards the surface, they carry moisturising, protective qualities with them. Cell walls then become more permeable, allowing nutrients to be absorbed and waste removed, so your skin looks more radiant than ever.

Santa is on his way and, of course, we need to leave a cold drink and a piece of Christmas cake on the fireplace for him, as well as carrots for his reindeer. But what else can we do to prepare for this special day?

The style of Christmas trees changes with fashion and interior trends alike. This year the trees appear to have a ‘softer’ look. Teals and blues are popular and just as you would change cushions in your room to renew your look, changing just a few of your Christmas decorations will really freshen things up.
