Hello,
\nIt\u2019s coming, it is, it is! Spring, I mean. With all the doom and gloom and bad news out there in the world, sometimes you just need to escape for a while, and for me it\u2019s either a) go for a run, or b) get out into the garden and get my hands mucky! Now that the weather is improving just a tad, our thoughts are returning to getting our back garden sorted out. Those who\u2019ve followed these blogs for a while may remember that we moved house almost a year ago.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

The house is pretty much done inside now, just a few little touches left to finish, like building a cupboard under the stairs. But the garden was a big overgrown mess which is going to take at least another year to sort out, bit by bit. I thought I\u2019d share another couple of \u201cbefore and after\u201d photos with you, as we\u2019ve just cleared another area. These shrubs were so overgrown that you couldn\u2019t even see the lovely trees hiding inside them! Now the clearing has been done and some edging laid for our new border; the next steps are to dig out the border properly, re-turf the bare patches and then the fun bit – planting! I\u2019ll show you the end result later in the year.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

My old wellies were starting to leak so when I saw these super cute but very practical mini wellies from Joules<\/a> at QVC I decided to treat myself. The name swung it for me – they\u2019re called Wellibobs<\/a>! Love it. I also loved the star pattern on this navy pair, and I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll accompany me for many happy hours of gardening this year.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

I just wanted to draw your attention too to a brilliant offer from Skinsense<\/a> coming up on Sunday 8th. This Today\u2019s Special Value collection from lovely skin care expert Abi Cleeve includes the already very popular day, night, eye, and neck and d\u00e9collet\u00e9 creams (all full sizes), but what caught my eye was the brand new Retinol Booster Night Drops. I do go on about retinol a lot (sorry not sorry!) because for me it\u2019s one of the best things in skincare.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

These drops are such a good idea: they can be added to your favourite night cream whenever you feel your skin needs a boost, and at a level to suit you. One drop gives you up to 0.3% retinol (great for sensitive skin), two drops up to 0.6% and three drops up to 0.9%. Abi will explain more during her presentations on Sunday (I\u2019ll be with her at 2pm and 4pm) but I think this is such a great addition to the range.<\/p>\n

See you soon.
\nLove Jackie x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
