    Bodhi…and now they do body moisturisers!

    Anyone who is a regular visitor to the Fashion-Mommy site will know I am a huge fan of Bodhi botanical therapies.

So when I was asked if I would like to trial some brand new body moisturisers,I was very excited.

    Bodhi – Luxurious Scent and oh so soft skin!

    One of the best things about attending fashion events are the goodie bags you are often presented with at the end of the  evening. These are often made up with wine and champagne, chocolates and candles, but sometimes they contain a fabulous bath and beauty treat.

For those of you not familiar with the brand, Bodhi is a brand that was born three years ago to create a range of bathtime products that use natural ingredients, that look after the skin whilst…
