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.

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

Nature's Friend has a particularly satisfying range with 100% natural wax candles that are made from ...View more

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...
