Milady's Bath and Body Range

Price: R65

Don't you just love climbing into bed right after the linen has been washed? The scent of the fabric softener is enough to put you into a deep, pleasant sleep until your hubby decides to interrupt you with a loud, belligerent fart, followed by a satisfied laugh. While he rolls over and starts with the obnoxious snoring, you are left lying there, annoyed that you couldn't have that scent last just one night! For me, I have to compete with a husband and 4 dogs who insist on sleeping in our bed too. Needless to say, if I want that fresh smell daily, I would be better of changing the linen daily. Until now. I have tried other linen sprays, from places like @home and MR. Price Home, but they always seem to wear off before I even put the bottle down. I was given the 3 linen sprays from the natural collection and I am head over heels for all of them especially the fresh tea and cucumber fragrance. This spray is useful in other ways too, though, as I have started using it to primp up my clothing drawers, use it as a room spray before guests visit and most recently I have started using it in my dehumidifying fan, so that the mist is infused with intoxicating scents comparable to the scent of freshly brewed coffee. This spray completes the ambiance of any room, making it feel cleaner and calmer with one quick squirt!

The only body butter that I have tried, before this, is from The Body Shop HoneyMania collection. In my mind, I didn't think much could compare especially when Milady's body butter is less than half the price! Just like the rest of their range though, I was blown away. Their body butters are a thick buttery texture (without the oil) and a little goes a long-long way. I love using this in combination with either their gentle exfoliating shower gel or the sugar scrub as I find that the effects last longer and the moisture penetrates better, locking it all in. Your skin feels great throughout the day while looking healthy and silky smooth. The fruity range is great for summer, and I especially love using this after a dip in the pool as the chemicals can be harsh to our skin, and this butter restores all lost moisture. The scents are light and refreshing which does not effect the scent of your own perfume.

I have been using these tubes more as hand cream, than body lotion as I prefer using the body butter for all over. These tubes are not conveniently sized for small handbags, but when you are preparing for motherhood, like me, it seems those cute clutches are thrown out and you start using "practical" bags, anyway. I had never included hand cream into my routine until recently, when I found how dry my hands were becoming, from all the hand washing. So I have put a tube in each bag, next to my PC and in the car as by just adding a squirt, you leave your skin feeling renewed and soft all day long.

After reading my above post about sugar scrub, you are probably wondering what you can use every other day. Well, not too worry - they have you covered. Their shower gel has a mild exfoliant perfect for everyday use, making sure to keep the dead cell build up to a minimum while leaving your skin feeling and looking youthful each day. I believe that their pricing is perfect for the 200ml tube that you get. You don't require using all that much, as once applied to a bath sponge, it becomes a thick nourishing lather.

My number one find of 2013 was a sugar scrub stocked by Miladys and their new range continues to blow me away. I find that these scrubs are great for over the weekend, when you have a little extra time to pamper yourself but should only be used once a week, as they are quite rough but great for exfoliating.This is a special treat for your skin, as mentioned in my skin care article, exfoliation on the weekly basis is essential as it will allow moisturizers to penetrate better, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. The scrub is not limited to exfoliating, as it is complimented by a nourishing oil that is packed with amazing fragrances, so good that you can eat it all up! I am a huge fan of this fruity treat and I stick by my word in saying this is something EVERYONE needs to invest in. It is the perfect scrub to get rid of irritated winter skin, and great for the summer as you can use it to prepare for self-tans, or getting ready for an even natural tan. The tubs are long lasting, and will only need to be replaced every 3 months or so.

This is something that I have to admit, we never have enough of! My husband hates bars of soaps and I believe that the squirt bottles are convenient and a lot more hygienic. I love the range of scents these come in, as I find that the fruity collection is suitable for the bathroom while the natural collection extends its uses to the kitchen too. The packaging and design of these bottles are attractive and much like the rest of their range, gives an impression of luxury without paying the price that usually comes with it. All the bottles are transparent with the liquid soap being a a light colour suitable to the range. Although, I use so much hand wash, I feel that these bottles are long lasting as they are 500ml, and you will only need two squirts for an effective hand wash, which coats your hands in a thick lather, leaving you feeling fresh and smelling good until the next wash!
