Apple & Bee is a brand that you must acquaint yourself with. NOW. Pourquoi? Well the Aussie-owned brand makes the most beaut-iful and adorable makeup and toiletry bags. But hold up, it gets even better. They're not just any cosmetics bags, oh no. They're eco chic cosmetics bags. See the founders of the brand, Brett Stewart (the founder of natural skincare company, bod) and Claire Morris (the former Art Director of Marie Claire magazine) are both committed to protecting the environment, which is why they're proud to call Apple & Bee a carbon neutral company and proud to donate a percentage of their profits back to environmental organisations. Good one.

Bella's Xmas Guide Guide: The Lazy Girl's Way to Shop

It's December 6. And how many gifts have your bought?
Bella's Xmas Guide Guide: The Lazy Girl's Way to Shop

It's December 6. And how many gifts have your bought? Let me guess . . . None. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Thought as much. I was the same until I discovered the art of shopping this weekend: buy all your beauty gifts in stores where you're actually shopping yourself. Y'know like Sportsgirl, DJs and Target. That way while you're checking to see if the Stella McCartney range has been discounted, you can pick up a sweet Cath Kidston bath gift set there. As some credit card ad would say, cutting down the time spent in Christmas queues full of screaming children = priceless. LOVE. Dont' you?
