Welcome back, skincare lover! In this post we’ll be looking at my Cult Beauty Christmas haul including the Best of 2021 Goody Bag. My husband chose some gorgeous gifts for me this year – everything from Cult Beauty – and the clever human bagged the long awaited free gift with purchase goody bag while he was at it. I can’t wait to show you what I got! Plus talk about the bag. It’s a real treasure trove – packed with 28 products – and worth over £370. There are so many great natural and clean gifting options on Cult Beauty, and plenty to help busy parents unwind, relax, and feel beautiful. But before we take a look at what my husband gifted me, let me express my gratitude. Thanks so much, Martin! I’m so grateful we can afford little luxuries at Christmas. So, let’s look at what my husband bought…

Today I’m sharing the fun we’re having with Chalkola Chalk Markers! And we’re giving away a set of 16 Chalkola Chalk Markers, so if you’d like to enter, just hop straight to the giveaway. I was really happy to hear from Chalkola when they asked if we’d like to try their chalk markers. Although our kids are quite young, we enjoy drawing, painting, and crafts. And when I researched the markers I found that Chalkola markers are child safe, water based, and non-toxic. It’s good news for parents that the chalk dries quickly and washes easily out of clothes! We first tried our markers on a chalkboard, which we keep for scribbling quick messages and drawing pictures to share with the children. It’s a great medium because it’s lightweight and easy to work with. I can just wipe it with a wet cloth to start a new picture. The markers…

Welcome back, beauty lover! It’s no surprise that coronavirus and its economic impact has had a devastating effect on small businesses, so it’s never been more important to shop small natural beauty stores. Now more than ever is the time to get together by supporting small, family-run, and independent local stores! We can really make a difference to the families who own and run them. I’ve used a few small shops in my time as a blogger, so I thought it would be nice to share them with you here. With so much choice, it’s good to know the stores you can trust and who share the same ethics of natural, clean, sustainable, and ethical. I hope you’ll see that it’s easy to find thoughtful gifts with a conscience! These are stores that don’t only sell their own products, but products from several brands, offering a wider choice and some…

I love cookies, and I love all the flavours of Christmas – so what better recipe for a breastfeeding mama than festive lactation cookies? My festive lactation cookies are an adaptation of the recipe for lactation cookies over at BellyBelly.com.au. They’re light, moist, sweet, and incredibly festive. So what makes festive lactation cookies festive? I’ve added warming spices, zesty orange, dried cranberries, and sweet juicy raisins to the classic mixture to impart a true taste of Christmas. Soooo good! How do festive lactation cookies work? The festive lactation cookies contain three galactagogue (increasing milk supply), or lactogenic (supporting milk supply) foods: Bear in the mind that the best way to increase your milk supply is to feed your baby more frequently. These cookies are not a medical solution to low milk supply. See a feeding specialist if you believe you have low milk supply. Brewer’s yeast Brewer’s yeast provides a range…

This post will help you choose the best natural beauty Christmas gifts for yourself or your loved ones. I would absolutely love to receive any of these fantastic natural beauty gifts! That’s because on Christmas morning, you can find me under the Christmas tree, smelling the outside of presents trying to find “the smellies” gift. I eagerly open it, only to be disappointed. It’s a beauty product I definitely wouldn’t use because it contains unhealthy ingredients. Sigh. It’s disheartening isn’t it? As happy as I am to receive a lovely gift, I feel so strongly about natural skincare I just can’t go back to using mainstream toiletries from big brands. I donate unwanted Christmas gifts to my favourite charity, as there will always be someone who does use these products and donating them ensures they don’t get wasted. Without further ado, let’s dive straight into my pick of natural beauty…
