Salt Glow giveaway

Written by Have a lovely time on July 18, 2011 · 53 Comments

You can recreate a beach holiday feeling in the comfort of your own home thanks to a wonderfully relaxing product from our friend and client Deborah Mitchell at Heaven Skincare.

Heaven’s Salt Glow will help you rid layers of toxins from your body, and, says Deborah is great for helping shift pesky cellulite.

Each month on Have a Lovely Time, we’ll be offering a product giveaway, and we’re delighted to be kicking off with 50ml of Deb’s Salt Glow. Worth £27.20, this is a real treat for anyone tired after a day in the sun…or rain come to think of it.

Including sea salt and algae, it helps detoxify as you relax in the bath. The salts melt around you as essential ingredients infuse into the skin. I feel drowsy just thinking about it.

Deborah likes to keep her most up to date client list close to her chest, so she won’t let us tell you who her latest customers are. Some she doesn’t mind talking about are Dannii Minogue, Emilia Fox and Victoria Beckham.

My fun seaside memory is of exploring rock pools on the beach in Brittany, France last year with my family and friends.
I watched with great amusement as my husband screamed like a girl as he was attacked by the tiniest crab, whilst at the same time my three year olds trousers fell down to his ankles as he stood watching his dad hop about madly trying to shake the thing off his hand.
Best bit is we have it all on film too!

I remember my childhood days in Sussex… travelling in my father’s rattly old banger, over the south downs to Brighton. We picnicked on the beach (crunching ‘sandy’ sandwiches) and searched rock pools for the ever illusive starfish (never did find one). It was the 1960s, and we weren’t very well off… but those long sunny days seem like heaven – looking back now. @muskrat16

When I was 11, my family and I all went to Panama City Beach. It was a tradition that we had kept going since I was 2. We stayed in the same room at the same hotel on the water each year.

This particular year was bittersweet for me and will always remain one of my favorite childhood beach memories. Our room was on the 8th floor of the hotel and I practically lived on the balcony when my toes weren’t in the sand or surf. One evening, towards the end of our week long vacation, I looked out towards the horizon and saw something jumping in the water. I looked closer and realized it was whales! i counted almost 13 of them and called my family out to watch them. My grandfather grabbed some binoculars, (now that i am older i am thinking he used them for watching girls on the beach) and saw that they were Killer whales, orcas. we sat there for almost 2 hours, until the sun set over the gulf of Mexico. After researching it, we realized it was a very rare event to see them in the gulf, much less that close to shore. There are only a few other accounts of this happening, but they were there. Clear as daylight.

When we arrived home about a week later, my parents informed me that they were filing for divorce. that trip was the last my family would ever take together and that is one reason the memory is so bittersweet. as corny as t sounds, it’s almost like the whale sighting happened to make sure i would never forget that last precious memory of my family together all at once.

Eating candyfloss and whipped icecream with a flake stuck in the top, building sandcastles and watching the sea wash them away in the early evening sunshine. Warm paste sandwiches and orange squash that still tasted fabulous when we were ravenous from hours of splashing and playing in the sea. My sisters and i would laugh and play on those long summer days whilst my Mum and Dad and Nan and Grandad lazed in their deckchairs sipping lemonade and reading the sunday papers.

I was brought up by the sea. I can remember lovely afternoons curled up in the sand dunes, or paddling in the creek. Shrimping and then taking home our catch to cook…and making sand angels.

Hard to pick any one moment. Perhaps the best was a wet spring day when my dad took us all to the small seaside town where we ended up and we played while he had his interview. At the end of the day he asked us ‘now children where would you like to live – by the sea side or in Nottingham?’ With a combined age of 18 between the three of us (I was the eldest at 8!) the answer was inevitable…

We always went to Trevone, near Padstow in Cornwall for the first 2 weeks of the summer holidays. We stayed in a lovely bungalow and I have fond memories of sitting in my dinghy in a shallow pool on the beach, left from when the tide came in. We lived in Stoke-on-Trent at the time and my family moved to Cornwall when I was 12 years old as my parents loved it so much.

I can only ever remember going away once and it was to the Isle of Wight and my main memory was swimming in the pool when it was chucking it down with rain … as well as trapping ym finger in the car door on the journey there¬

I used to love rockpooling with my dad on the Devon beaches. He’d make it his “mission” to stalk a lone fish around a ridiculously deep pool, with us in fits of hysterics, usually ending with him lurching forward with the net to catch it & falling in.

I used to go the the beach with my Mon, Dad, Nan & Grandad to Newquay, West Wales. Having gone back as an adult I can’t believe how tiny the beach there is. I remember it as being miles of golden sand!

Well I don’t know about fun, but there are several memorable incidents. As I come from a small island (Guernsey), we are surrounded by beaches.

One time, we were just about to leave home to go to the beach when my mum discovered that my naughty little sister had emptied the contents of her nappy in her cot and all over herself. So she needed a bath before we could go out. And strip and wash the cot. Once we got to the beach, I was paddling in a stream leading down to the sea and lost my flipflop, just couldn’t find it.

Another time we went to Grandes Rocques and found that a conger eel had been stranded in an extremely large rock pool. My naughtly little sister dropped her bucket into the rock pool and I had to salvage it using the shrimping net. Scary or what….

We went to Pembroke Bay one time with my friend Lisa and her family, including a rather tasty older cousin. He and the other boys were flying kites. Pembroke is a beautiful sandy beach and in those days used to be covered in hermit crabs in periwinkle shells of many colours, which I was examining, not noticing the kite strings and promptly tripped over them.

One of my childhood memories is of my parents taking me to look at rockpools on the Gower coast in South Wales where my father used to pick winkles digging them out with a pin and eating them. At first I would not eat them, but did end up trying them which is something I would find distasteful now!

I was staying at my aunt’s when I was 7 and one afternoon my cousins, a friend who was much older, and I walked to a deserted beach nearby and spent a perfect afternoon with only us there. We had been given a lecture on being safe in the water etc. before we went – but somehow I don’t think we’d be allowed to do it these days! It really was perfect.

When I was about 13, it was the summer holidays and I remember floating with my cousin in the sea, we must have laid back and floated for about 30 mins it was so peaceful we just chatted and floated!

We spent all our sumer holidays when I was a child, in a chalet at Polzeath in Cornwall. It was really wonderful, we surfed, and we slid down a local hillside every night for hours on tin trays. We went for days out too, and when we went to Looe I did my favourite thing of all, rock pool exploring. I found a large pool and was after an unusual fish for my bucket which was darting about in it. It went under a rock and I put my hand under to flush it out. I immediately felt my hand being drawn like a magnet towards something then 2 jaws clamped down on my finger. It took a line of 4 adults to pull me free (like the Big Turnip story) and my finger was quite a mess. 55 years on the scar is still livid. I never saw what bit me but a local fisherman semed to think all signs pointed to an electric eel. It didn’t put me off rock pooling at all, but I make sure I don’t put my hand anywhere out of sight.

Pretty much anything that we did at Durdle Door. Finding tiny fish and crabs in rock pools, being about five feet into the water and having fish that are about four inches long swimming around your ankles, the view.

I love going on holiday with my family in general but I loved going to corfe castle for the day I remember everything about the day, walking around the little village wandering up the ruins, getting an ice cream, watching the jesters doing things everything.

My favourite holiday memories are of the times I spent with my brother and sister in Poole, Dorset. It always seemed so sunny back then! I remember my brother chasing my sister and I down the beach with a live crab; drawing a moustache on our grandad’s face as he slept and laughing so hard it hurt when my Nan slipped on a rock and fell head first into the shallow of the sea. Good times!
Alison Campbell

Going down to Crail harbor to watch the fishing boats unload their catch. My mum and dad bought the freshest tasties Crabs, prawns and seafood on a daily base
In the evening we’d drive to either Anstruther or Pittenweem where we enjoyed the most scrumptious fish and chip suppers in the world, then an eveing walk before it was bedtime. Bliss

I have some very lovely memories of family holidays when I was little in porthcawl, south wales. Donkey rides on the beach, rides on the funfair, and winning countless teddies on hook a duck! and at the end of august I am returning after 25 years, only now as a mum of 2 energetic little bundles. I can’t wait to create new happy memories for (me and) my own children.

I remember my mum knitting us bathing suits and when we went swimming they stretched and we came out with suits down to our knees,good times

I have a fun seaside memory of fishing in the rock pools with my dad and then on the way back we had to pass a dinosaur on the entrance of a dinosaur park which was located close to the beach and I was scared to death. Funny to look back on now though….

BG’s first visit to the beach. She was so excited running around in the sand and building sandcastles. I have a picture of her and her dad running along the shore front and its so gorgeous I had it printed on canvas. Every time she looks at it she says “that’s me and my daddy at the seaside.

Running into the sea with my best friend Caroline, aged 11….we really wanted to be lifeguards…so would run straight in and swim out and it is was FREEZING!! So much fun though

This year for the first time I took my two lovely grandchildren to the seaside. We spent a fantastic week in Cornwall and rounded it off with a BBQ on the beach on Royal Wedding Day.
I have loads of photos that I’m saving for the girls so they have this special memory to look back on in years to come

I remember my Grandad taking us on the pier at Hastings. Dad would never pay the 6d to take us through the magical gate to the end of the pier where the glass blower lived. Seeing the waves through the gaps between the planks was just scary enough to be exciting.
