Hiya WeeGreenDragon

I have bought from the REN site before when they have offers but it is often a lot cheaper to buy from ebay, which is why I suggested it in an earlier post. My 10% discount product is the Rose Otto shower gel - gorgeous stuff but I'm slowly being converted to the Balance Me Super Toning wash.

I've tried some Pai products; the Chamomile and Rosehip moisturiser and the Geranium and Thistle moisturiser. They're really nice but they didn't impress me enough to buy again. There's so much skincare out there that it takes an awful lot for me to buy a product for a second time instead of trying out something new.

I can vouch for Pai being really great quality but I've only tried those two products so can't comment on the others. I really really like the sound of their toners but they are ridiculously expensive and rarely crop up on ebay.

Hi beautyboxers!

Thought I'd let you know after all your kind wishes of luck that beauty box baby is finally here and at home!

Went in on Monday night to be induced, by 5am Tues had contractions every 3 mins, which went on all day, was progressing really well and really fast but then stopped late that night when it was nearly there - had to have a c-section. Was gutted, fought it all the way, but when the baby came out turns out it was 11 pounds 13 oz, and they think there is no way I could have done it naturally!! The biggest baby all year apparently!

So we have a baby girl called Ella, she is absolutely delightful

Oh sweetie, I'm so glad everything went well, you've been in our thoughts all week. I'm genuinely overjoyed for you and the proud new daddy, I bet she's worth every second of the wait.

Have to say though........11lbs 13oz :eek::eek: ........ no wonder you had a c-section:eek: that's made my eyes water!

Welcome to the world baby Ella :T It is a beautiful name too - she'll thank you in the future for giving her something elegant and timeless.

So much love to the new happy family

Thanks ... I have mild rosacea and the REN products are good but, you know how it is, you're always looking for something better.
I just don't want to make an expensive mistake.

Thankyou Weegreendragon and Evilsquid

Purplebutterfly - I know I'm hormonal but you are so sweet you have made me cry! She is worth it all, we feel very lucky and seeing my husband be such an amazing natural dad is extra special xx

Wow congratulations to you both and baby Ella is so much prettier a name than IT.

11lbs 13 oz, gosh she must have outgrown 1st size baby clothes before she was here.

You have been in my thoughts all week x

Welcome to the world Beauty Box Baby Ella

Well you've made me all broody now which my hubby won't thank you for :rotfl: Photos are always welcome

Make sure you look after yourself and don't run yourself ragged too soon - you've got the rest of your life to go yet!

kisses hugs and cuddles to baby (if I was there though I'd be nibbling her toes - I think little chubby baby feet are the most gorgeous things in the world and I always have to kiss them)

Congrats Rose!!
