Have you had the pleasure of NEOM yet? Its range of organic home and body products is pure indulgence, with fans including Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow. To find out what all the fuss is about, ACHICA Living felt it was necessary to do some 'research' (notably sitting back and chilling out with NEOM's luxury products), and now we certainly understand.
The ethos of NEOM's sensuous range is that beauty should be about spoiling yourself, with gorgeous scents and indulgence. We hear that. To fi...View more

There’s never a better time to light a scented candle than right now. Whether it’s to fill your home with a warm aroma after a marathon Christmas shopping expedition, to set the mood when you're entertaining, or to just make your house a home. Here are my favorite winter fragranced candles. They make great gifts, but you’ll want to keep them all for yourself...

When it's cold outside there's nothing better than lighting a few candles, having a night in and pampering yourself. Sometimes a long soak in the bath is in order too, so it helps to have your favourite skincare and body wash to hand. I have my favourite beauty ranges - Eve Lom, Elemis and Clarins have never let me down - but I'm excited to see that Sir Terence Conran and Kokomo have just launched a brand new range of bath and body products. The unisex range is available in two fragrances - old fashioned cologne and a fre...View more

This week I have been mainly testing out beautiful bath and beauty ranges, in particular room diffusers, to see which ones I rate. When it comes to room diffusers it’s a question of how quickly they run out of oil (the more natural the oil the better) when you turn over the reeds, how strong the scent is, whether the scent is nice and natural or a bit overpowering and whether the room it is easily filled with the aroma.

I thought I'd highlight the beautifully scented bath and body products from Mitchell and Peach this week. If you haven't already, I'm certain you're going to fall in love with the gorgeous hand and body creams, bath oil and shower wash like I have.
And the story behind the brand is wonderfully original - the Mitchells have been farming the same land in Kent for five generations, cultivating everything from strawberries, apples and hops. From 1923 to 1972, they ran a thriving market stand on London's Covent Garden. In 2009, the...View more

Despite Kat Slater’s best efforts to ruin it for everyone, fashion went wild for leopard prints last season. From shoes to shrugs, it really was an urban jungle out there - and this year’s interiors looks set to be just as full of animal magic. However, before you go all out on B&Q’s leopard print wallpaper (yes, really), this season, there’s a twist. It’s animal print, sure, but smart decorators are doing it with serious splashes of colour thrown in.
Using pattern is a...

I'm sure you'll agree that a large, soft and cosy towel to snuggle up to when you step out of the bath is a must - especially when there's a chill in the air. So, I thought I'd highlight the luxurious ACHICA Bath Linen promotion coming up soon. There's a sumptuous range of absorbent Egyptian-cotton bath towels available, including bath sheets, hand towels and face cloths, by leading brands such as Sheridan, Christy, Osman, Vosen and Savannah.

The time has come to take down the Christmas decorations for another year. So soon? It seems such a shame, especially in these dark winter days - (incidentally, did you see how dark it got with the partial eclipse this morning?!).
Anyhow, when the Christmas tree fairy goes on sabbatical, you can still keep a little festive sparkle alive with Christy's beautifully scented candles. They're ideal for introducing a bit of spring fresh into your home too. The set of four Ch...
