In an attempt to renew energy levels and cleanse the system of all the toxins contained within copious amounts of Prosecco, Bailey's, Nocino and the odd glass of red wine that were consumed over the festive season (I won't even mention the snickety snacks and all that chocolate), I went browsing through the chemists and health food stores over the last few days and got hideously sidetracked by the vast amount of exquisite little packets and delicate boxes of vintage-looking concoctions that seem to be very popular round here. The Swiss, the Italians and the French do remedies and toiletries like no others and these coloured gems caught my eye immediately. They'd do well in one of those gorgeous shops on Columbia Road and would probably sell for 5 times the amount that they cost here. At first glance you'd be forgiven for thinking they contain soap.
Not sure how useful digestive pastilles will be to me in my quest for purification, but they mean well. And they look gorgeous, especially in my bathroom.

Oh they are so gorgeous, so gorgeous!! Unfortunately our quest for purification has gone horribly wrong due to extreme weather (any excuse) and we have had to eat and drink to keep warm. But as soon as it warms up, we are on the wagon!!!!
You know, I have seen them so many times and admired the package but never ever tried them. Any good? Will have to pop over and sneak to the bathroom...
can't bring myself to actually open the packets. one's been sent off to London already and the others are in the said bathroom. you can choose one when you're over next for a cuppa. xxx
