A Walk down Strawberry Lane
It was a childhood love: you had her shoes, her pyjamas and her lunch box.
But since then, you’ve now graduated to stilettos, stepped it up with lingerie and lunch is more of the take-out kind. But that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge nostalgia just a little. The limited edition Strawberry Shortcake decadent hand crème from Cake ($22) is made from whole milk, marshmallow extract and shea and mango butters with scents of vanilla and naturally, strawberries. Who said Peter Pan should have all the fun?

Saved by the Gel
Sometimes life is a real nail biter.
Save your cuticles with Lovin’ that Lanolin Cuticle Gel by All Things Jill ($6). A mix of lanolin (known for its antiseptic and healing qualities), apricot, beeswax, Vitamin E, lavender and eucalyptus softens and hydrates nails and cuticles. How handy.
