Cristina Re Designs Collection for Target

We are delighted to announce that Target has engaged Cristina Re to design an exclusive Bath & Body Collection.

Entitled ‘Peacock Garden’, the new collection includes an exclusive range of quality luxury hand and body products with a feminine touch, beautifully timed with Mother’s Day just around the corner.

The ‘Peacock Garden’ Collection is a reflection of Cristina Re’s style, with the range offering 3 fragrances in 3 pretty colour choices beautifully presented in hand illustrated patterns and delicate silver foiled packaging. The collection reflects current fashion trends and is the perfect gift for women who love and appreciate beautifully designed products that make a lasting impression.

Mum will fall in love with the stimulating and sensual fragrance of a Spring Garden with the assortment of soaps, candles, hand & body lotions, sold separately or in exquisite value pamper gift packs.

Whilst the collection makes a bold statement about fashionable, high quality design, the products contain no parabens, SLES or PEGS which are gentle for the skin. Furthermore, they are not tested on animals.

The collection includes fashionably wrapped and lovingly made 170g triple milled soaps that are highly lathering and moisturizing; stimulating 150ml fragrance diffusers and scented soywax candles in silver foiled frosted glassware that make a lasting keepsake (24hour burn time); invigorating body washes made with a delicate formula; pure luxurious moisturising 75ml hand lotions which leave a lasting fragrance on the skin and to complete the story, an A5 luxury lined journal complements the range and makes a perfect gift to inspire precious thoughts.

The Cristina Re Bath & Body Collection ‘Peacock Garden’ is available at Target stores nationally and available online here.

Surprisal

As I am so intricately involved in the wedding industry, a hopeless romantic and believe in making dreams come true, I had to say ‘yes’ when I was pleasantly asked to take part in a very special wedding proposal on FOX FM. I was secretly contacted by the Matt & Jo Show to help make the big “SURPRISAL’ happen, as I was informed that the lucky lady was none other than one of our lovely new staff members,  Ellesse Duncan. My involvement was instrumental to the successful execution of the plan, which entailed getting Ellesse to South Gate where she would be proposed to by her gorgeous and adoring boyfriend Daniel in front of hundreds of people.  I was asked by Matt and Jo to attend a meeting in Southgate whereby I had to pretend that she would be assisting me in designing and styling a very important wedding for a ‘secret celebrity bride’. What made the task even more challenging was that it was actually Ellesse’s very first day at work!

The team from FOX FM co-ordinated the location, the theatrics, and the romance to perfection – it was a moment to remember for a lifetime and was exceptionally well executed. I won’t deny it was tough playing undercover, however it was all worth it. We were very happy to be in a position to contribute to getting Mrs Right – our lovely and creative Ellesse to her surprise destination on her first day on the job!

We wish Ellesse and Dan great happiness and love, and welcome her to the Cristina Re team.
