#LITTLELUXURYMOMENTS + INSTAGRAM GIVEAWAY

                         

Like it's often said, you never know the worth of a moment till it becomes a memory.

There are so many precious moments we experience daily that are actually a luxury, and most of the time we get so used to them that they hold no charm for us and we take them for granted.

It was really exciting to be selected with some other talented female bloggers to be part of the #LittleLuxuryMoments Social Media Campaign  by Pz Cussons , leading to the relaunch/rebranding of Imperial Leather range of products. 

Imperial Leather especially the soap, has been around for as long as I can remember and I'm sure most of us are quite familiar with the brand, the Rebrand and social media campaign was to introduce the new improved products to the Ghanaian market and also start a conversation about what luxury meant to different people.

This thought provoking campaign got me thinking about what really luxury was. 

Does it have to be expensive to be classified a luxury?

Is luxury rare and reserved for a selected/privileged few?

What does Luxury mean to you.

What is Luxury?

I got to try out both the old and new Imperial Leather products and I must admit I love the Citrus Burst Refreshing Shower Gel, it has lime oil and kiwi extract and leaves me feeling so refreshed . And the Japanese Spa Nourishing Shower Cream is everything , it smells so good and makes taking a shower so much fun.

Another product I love is the Imperial Leather Body Lotion, it is non-greasy and keeps my skin moisturised , my usual Sheabutter got some competition now :-) .

It was an amazing experience being part of this campaign and looking forward to future projects.

I appreciate the support I receive from you guys daily, and one lucky follower on our Instagram will receive some Imperial Leather products. Here's how to WIN;

1. Follow @Lauries_blog on Instagram 

2. Tell us what luxury means to you by commenting on the Instagram post about the giveaway.

4. Must be based in Ghana.

All the best!!!
