Handy Tips, Handed Down

   
Today I have a different sort of blog post for you which I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed making! I collaborated with Crabtree & Evelyn in honour of their new campaign ‘Handy Tips, Handed Down’ built around the sharing of beauty, lifestyle, health and wellbeing tips that have been handed down from generation to generation. And it is a campaign idea stemmed from the 1973 brand award-winning hand therapy cream, which have been used by women of all ages for many years’. 

The hints and advice could be about anything from your Sister's secret recipe for flawless skin to an organic hair treatment passed down from your Grandmother…. they want it all! I think it is such a nice philosophy to take a step back and think about the origins of your tastes and behaviour within beauty - and in such a warm and positive light.

Beauty doesn't have to about solidarity. It can be enhanced by the knowledge of our friends and family. It may be a small handed down tip but every time you do it, it will remind you of the person that gifted it to you. Beauty should be more than just being sat in front of a mirror, ultimately it is an experience. So, in respect of that I am joined by my lovely and willing Aunt and Nanan to lift the lid on our tips in this special video.

We talk inspiration, those fundamental basics you may take for granted, D.I.Y suggestions and many more. Now I have this video to look back on in the near future and maybe even pass down to my own children one day! So, let us plant the seed for sharing and gift each other with the beauty tricks that we can spread for generations to come. 

As part of the Handy Tips, Handed Down campaign the brand is also encouraging customers to share their handed down beauty tips to receive £5 off any £15 purchase as well as the opportunity to win a photo shoot with Venture Family Photography Experience worth £600. Just go instore and share your advice to one of the tip trees or head to their website to join in with the conversation there! Don’t forget to hashtag #Crabtreehandytips.

I just want to wrap things up by saying that Lisa, my Nan and I feel really passionate about sharing such simple advice to other women of all ages and feel that all girls should have the opportunity to master the art of beauty and wellbeing to carry throughout all their adult years’. But it is really important to love yourself in your natural form and remember that as much as beauty tricks are about disguising problem areas they are more about enhancing your best bits.

So, for now I just want to say a big thank you to my family for agreeing to feature on this video with me and sharing their knowledge too. It has been a pleasure and I just want them to know that I appreciate all the lessons inside the realms of beauty and beyond that they have taught me along the way.
