January is my birthday month so I gifted myself a few things I really want to share with you!
In this “January Favourites” post I will share 4 items that have truly gifted me pleasure…and made my dentist very happy with me! You’ll see why;) ENJOY! And who knows, maybe one of my January Favourites will end up being one of yours too!
Petit Plaisir No.1 – January Favourites
A decadent body cleanser that is rich in almond oil and features a foaming oil-to-milk texture that leaves skin satiny-smooth. I absolutely ADORE this shower oil! I have lived in a variety of countries and climates and each time tried to find a product that would give me smooth, silky, moisturised skin. Nothing really did the trick until this Almond Shower Oil.
I used to use high quality shower gels and then even higher quality (and higher priced) lotions and they worked a bit, but the next day my skin would be dry again.
This product lathers up slightly, just enough, and then, without leaving you feeling greasy, moisturises your skin.
Et voila! No need for any lotion, therefore saving you time and money!

Petit Plaisir No. 2 – January Favourites
2. TePe Floss Sticks (found in most pharmacies)
Are you constantly told by your dentist that you need to floss better? I was too! The only problem was that I was flossing diligently everyday!
Finally, one dentist introduced me to these TePe Floss Sticks – I’ve not heard a word since about my plaque!
After brushing at night you simply insert the floss stick between each of your teeth and voila! That’s it! (You’ll be surprised at what comes out, even after you doing a brilliant job at brushing!)
Choose the width of your TePe Floss Sticks to match the space between your teeth. The orange, slim ones work best for me since I have very little space between my teeth, but if you have larger spaces, it’s best to purchase the wider ones.
TePe used to make their sticks out of wire and brushes but have now switched to these NEW, almost silicon material. I much prefer these NEW ones as I found the wire ones bent too easily and lost their shape, making each pick a one time use.
Petit Plaisir No.3 – January Favourites
3. NEOM Organic Candles – Found on Amazon, Net-a-Porter, & Neomorganics.com
J’adore NEOM Candles! I could never find a natural, non toxic candles that didn’t give me a head ache…until I found NEOM candles that is:) I actually purchased 4 of them for my birthday earlier this month and I really am so pleased with them.
The scents are labelled by how we desire to FEEL & what we desire to EXPERIENCE (in complete alignment with The Elegant Life Principles, right?)
Some of the names are: SLEEP, TRANQUILITY, HAPPINESS, DE-STRESS…
Their promise: 100% natural fragrances for the mind & body, made in Britain from ethically sourced, sustainable origins, only natural & organic ingredients, no petrochemical paraffin or mineral wax, no artificial perfume only pure essential oils and no harsh preservatives. My kind of company. Not to mention that the founder, Nicola, is a woman with a whole lot of Soul.
Petit Plaisir No. 4 – January Favourites
4. OYSHO Loungewear & Pyjamas
OYSHO is a beautiful Spanish clothing retailer specialising in women’s homewear and undergarments.
I came across them in Abu Dhabi 5 years ago when we were there on vacation. I am still wearing the nightwear and loungewear I bought as I just love them so much!
So, when I saw the OYSHO store here in Dubai I jumped at the chance to purchase more! I purchased these black satin pyjamas (to see me model them, watch the video above at minute 7:50) and three other items as I realised I had gotten back into the rut of wearing old, worn out clothes around the house, calling them my “cozies”. Can you relate?
Well, this brand is seriously the best brand around. They are high in quality, fit the body perfectly (as perfectly as any high end item would) and the prices are shockingly reasonable! I still cannot believe the price tag of these high quality items!
Have a look for a store near you. If you live in North America the only place I could find to purchase items was HERE.
Et voila! Ce sont mes petits plaisirs pour le mois de janvier. (Here’s some French for those of you who requested to hear more French from me:)
I’m very excited about February because it’s the month of LOVE – and you know we’re all about that here at The Elegant Life;) So… I have a petit surprise for you!
See you next week!
Love,

Neom is my my favourite candle brand as well! I love all their products and have been using them for a couple years. I’ve had that shower gel before and you’ve just reminded of it:-) so ordered again.
How wonderful! What is your favourite candle from NEOM? Mine is “Real Luxury”. I just love connecting with women who have so much in common – thanks for commenting!
Thank you Erin, hope you enjoyed a beautiful birthday. I love the sound of the bath oil ( as I prefer to use nice oils on my skin) so will be purchasing this. The candles sound so lovely too.
Such a nice blog
Eek! Aisle, I apologise this response comes so late! I’ve been off the blog for a couple of weeks. Have you used the L’Occitane Bath Oil yet? The body cream that goes with it is so lovely too. And yes, the candles are Divine. Stay tuned as I have a petite surprise in store for my readers!
