Hello my dear empties lover, and welcome to my April 2021 natural beauty empties. This month I have a very special empties post for you – because it’s in collaboration with a green beauty blogger who I’m very fond of – it’s Renata of Green Life in Dublin! Renata is a fellow LoveLula Accredited Blogger. Along with being a sterling blogger, she’s also been so supportive of me throughout my time as a blogger. She was kind enough to nominate me to judge in the Clean Beauty Awards 2020, which I really enjoyed and found very rewarding. And she’s always looking out for other bloggers. She’s a real champion! Go and check out Renata’s empties for April now. And you can also see her beautiful face and hear her soothing voice over on her YouTube channel, where she talks all things green beauty and health. What does it mean to…

Welcome back, beauty lover! And Mother, if you’re reading this please stop reading now! I’m sharing gifts for you in my Mother’s Day gifting under £50! Mother’s Day is almost here, and it’s time to honour the beautiful human that brought me into this world. My poor mum has had a terrible few months. Not only is she stuck in this miserable lockdown with the rest of us, but since November she’s been in serious chronic pain, resulting in a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. This Mother’s Day, I really want to cheer her up and encourage her to put her feet up and relax with some beautiful goodies. I love a mix of high end and good value natural beauty treats. I picked up a luxury body care gift set, lipstick, sheet mask, toner, and a pretty-in-pink multitasking balm bar – all for under £50! Let’s take a look what…

Welcome back, empties lover! And welcome to my February 2021 natural beauty empties. It’s that time of the month again where I share all the natural beauty products I used and loved! This month I finished up a well-loved grapefruit perfume that’s been in my collection for at least six years, a sumptuous radiance boosting face cream, multi-tasking facial oil, and much more. I hope you enjoy my February 2021 natural beauty empties! February 2021 natural beauty empties Love & Toast Sugar Grapefruit Perfume I’m not too sure about the green creds of this fragrance, although I’ve read that it’s organic and somewhat clean. But I loved it so much – it definitely deserves the top spot in my empties. Margot Elena creates such beautiful brands with artful designs that are easy to fall in love with. And it was certainly love between us, with the pretty design of the…

Hello again, my friend! Welcome to my January 2021 natural beauty empties. What to say about January? The lockdown, supporting my husband working from home, worrying about all our health – it takes its toll. But skincare, as usual, is a beautiful distraction and – we had snow! It was so good to frolic in the white stuff, have fun, and forget about lockdown, just for one day. This month, I used up a beautiful gel cleanser, all-in-one balm, ginseng face tonic, and more. My littles used up a gentle hydrating body lotion and a baby sleep rollerball. I hope you find my January empties helpful! January 2021 natural beauty empties D’Alchemy Purifying Facial Cleanser One of my favourite gel cleansers. It’s great during times of hormonal breakouts since it mildly exfoliates and contains soothing ingredients. I really love the softly foaming texture and the orange and vanilla scent. You…

This month I chose some lovely late summer beauty from online natural beauty stores. I’m so pleased with myself for sticking to sustainable skincare and makeup through July and August. This is me going forwards! And my August picks really reflect the season. I’ve got a gorgeous warm refillable “Chamomile” eyeshadow palette from Ere Perez to take me into autumn, sumptuous EarthKind shampoo bar, affordable liquid lipstick from Benecos, and – I finally did it – I bought a lip balm with SPF from Hurraw to add to my huge stash of lip balms. Got to catch them all! Scroll to the bottom to see my final look using the Ere Perez Chamomile eyeshadow and Benecos lipstick. Enjoy my August natural beauty picks! Late summer beauty Ere Perez Chamomile Eyeshadow Palette in Lovely This gorgeous warm palette has been on my wishlist for a while. I’m not very confident with…

Back in December I posted about us trying for a second baby, and I shared my natural fertility essentials. Well, I am overjoyed to announce we’re pregnant! I’m currently 25 weeks, and feeling very big and hot! And I can’t wait to share my second trimester essentials with you! Pregnancy is a time when many women look to clean up their beauty routine. Now you’re thinking about the precious little one growing inside, as well as yourself. But in the second trimester, you can relax a little as the chances of loss are lower and your baby’s organs and limbs are formed. That’s one less thing to worry about. And for me, that means introducing essential oils back into my routine. The second trimester of pregnancy is also a time when you need to take special care of yourself and your skin. Your belly and boobs are growing, your skin…
