St Ives facial scrub Natural beauty competition

St Ives’ inspiration box |
I was recently invited to enter the #StIvesNaturalBeauty competition, where I was asked to take a photo of what I perceived as natural beauty.
Anyway, to give me some inspiration, I was sent the most beautifully package box ever – an inspiration pack which featured real lavender and another fragrant flower. Nestled among the foliage and straw was the legendary St Ives facial scrub (which I love!) along with instructions for the competition.
Now while the brief was simple, I was perplexed as to what images of natural beauty I would find living in the bustle of central London. Not to mention that i was no Rankin. However, I took my camera to the Southbank, and here’s a selection of what I came back with…
Foliage…
Strutting pigoen…
Itchy bird…
Pretty tree…
And finally…
After much deliberation, I chose the final picture for submission, as this was the greatest reflection of natural beauty. Though I was soooo tempted to submit the strutting pigeon.
I don’t fancy my chances, but I was just glad to be involved.
