Burts Bees Hand Repair Review

Heeeeelloooooo :)

I thought I'd write a review since we haven't really written a nice chunky post for you guys in ages.
So, you've probably already heard of and used this, but I hadn't until yesterday! My lovely Mother bought the cream, insisting that everyone at her work was raving about it, but I hadn't heard of it so I was unsure. Sure enough, I soon realised Zoella had made reference to it in a few videos and there is a lot of reviews on it out there...
For those of you that don't know me, I have exceedingly dry, old lady hands (Harry Styles watch out) and no matter how much moisturiser I use, they dry out so quickly.
So as I was saying before I miraculously trailed off topic into the fantasy world of Harry Styles, my Mum bought a massive tube of this amazing hand cream, which I obviously had to try for myself, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this would you?
I love how it doesn't leave your hands greasy and oily as expected from most hand creams, I also love how instantly it works, and within seconds dry, flaky skin is suddenly smooth and soft like a baby's bottom :3 (not that I've ever touched a baby's bottom...I don't think)
I really don't like the smell of this stuff though, I'm sure there are variations of flavours and stuff, but it's a very strong distinct smell, and it's probably the only downside I have!
If this is the wonders it does to your hands, I really want to try some of their other products, like the lip balm! (Hint hint)
It's quite expensive from your everyday hand cream, around £10, but we can all stretch out our pockets, and shoot me if I'm wrong, but this is SO worth it. I can't find one bad comment about it anywhere.
I have this in a fairly big sized tube, you can purchase it in smaller quantities, and you can also get it in the most adorable vintage tins which I personally think are the cutest things ever!
I hope you had a great Easter (I think that's just the uk, if you live outside the UK and celebrate it, then happy Easter to you too!) I know I did. I had the M&S Percy Pig egg, which I'm sorry, was the worst Easter egg I've ever tried. It's supposedly Percy pig flavoured white chocolate, it just tasted of very strong white strawberry chocolate, and I couldn't handle the taste..!
G'dbye,

Recent Recipes...Cheeky chocolate surprise!

Do you ever just crave for a lovely warm hot chocolate, like the ones out of Costa, piled with marshmallows and dripping with scooshy cream? If you've answered yes, carry on reading!
Here I have a quick, simple recipe on how to get a lovely hot chocolate like this yourself! It takes about five minutes to prepare, but it's soo worth it!

Okay so here's a costa hot chocolate.

And here's how to make your own!

1) Measure out enough milk in the mug you are using, and pour into a pan. Let the milk sit over a medium heat whilst you get on with the rest of the recipe, stir it occasionally though to stop it sticking to the pan.

2) Put two level teaspoons of Cadburys Bournville cocoa powder in your mug.

3) add a tiny dribble of milk. Stir into a paste.

4) add a table spoon of cream. Here I've used whipping cream, but I'm sure double cream would be a lot nicer.

5) once your milk is ready add it to the mug and stir.

6) add as much sugar as you like, without sugar this tastes disgusting.

Enjoy!

 PS...If you want to go a step further you can actually buy Costa products instore! (hot chocolate powder, coffee beans etc.)
