I got quite a telling off this week from our Annabelle. I’ve picked up a nice tan in Greece, but that is slowly starting to fade. She asked me if I was diligently applying sunscreen to those brown legs. Ai, confession: I carefully apply day and night cream to my face, but I sometimes skip ‘the body’.

Until you hold Marie-Stella-Maris in front of my nose, I start applying, washing, submerging. Everything smells enticing and comes in beautiful bottles. That’s why I have some of the best news of the day. MSM is coming out with two, yes TWO, new scents. And since they were at it, they’ve given the bestsellers an upgrade. So from today, my legs will be thoroughly dressed in Poivre Noire Frais, Lemon Notes, Courage des Bois, or Objets d’Amsterdam. And you’re doing good right away, because with every purchase, Marie-Stella-Maris donates an amount to a clean water project. Let’s go shopping.
