TREASURES OF THE NIGHT 🌜 I'm currently loving t TREASURES OF THE NIGHT 🌜 I'm currently loving this beautiful moonstone necklace by the talented Xander Kostroma @xanderkostromalifestyle (gifted). 

♀️ I'm a huge fan of moonstone and its strong connection to feminine energy. It’s considered a must-have stone for fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood. 

⚪ The gorgeous piece inspired me to create a new blog post on how to use moonstone during pregnancy to help with setting health intentions, easing pregnancy niggles, and creating a moonstone altar to reduce stress. If you're expecting and you're interested in using crystals, then check it out. Link in bio.

✨ The shiny new skincare you see before you is Renew+Me @renewandmehq (gifted) tretinoin cream 0.01% that's boosting my radiance while I sleep. It's my first time using tretinoin, but it's going really well. I was already using high strength retinol when I started using it, so it was a natural progression. I've had a few breakouts and some cracked skin around my mouth, but no peeling or irritation (fingers crossed). The applicator is really cool, it dispenses just the right amount of product and shows you how many days you have left in your tube. I love it.

What are your nighttime rituals at the moment?

OVVIOVITA 🌿 When a brand talks to me about impr OVVIOVITA 🌿 When a brand talks to me about improving hair loss and dry skin in women during the postpartum period, perimenopause, and menopause, I'm ready to hear what they say.

And today, I'm so happy to share such a brand - it's the wonderful Ovviovita Ayurvedic Natural Beauty @ovviovita.

Ovviovita brings us Ayurvedic inspired and plant-powered haircare and skincare to help women feel great. The luxurious products harness age-old traditions with modern formulation techniques and practises.

I've been trying:

🌿 Olio Divina Ayurvedic Oil: Stimulate growth with 10 botanical herbs and oil extracts including rosemary, amla, and bhringraj herbs. It promises to rejuvenate and strengthen the hair and give thicker hair in 4-6 weeks when used 1-2 times a week – totally achievable, right?

🌿 Infrared Electric Head Massager: A red light therapy, hair oil applicator, micro-current hair growth head vibration, and scalp massager tool all in one. It works with the Olio Divina Hair Oil. It's so relaxing and convenient.

🌿 Magic Citrino Soothing Ayurvedic Body Oil: With 10 Ayurvedic herbs, extracts, and plant oils including aloe vera, lemon peel oil, and rosemary – ingredients to reduce redness, scarring, and inflammation. Amla, arnica, and tulsi complete the soothing and deeply moisturising blend.

 🌿 Rosehip & Sandalwood Ayurvedic Face & Body Cream: A decadent cream with coconut, avocado, and rosehip, neem, and sandalwood keeps skin moisturised. It makes a great choice for ageing skin, since its Ayurvedic herb blend contain Argantensyl, known for its anti wrinkle and tightening properties.

They are game changers in my hair loss and dry skin routines. The Ayurvedic herbal blends and the fact they are tailored for women at tricky points in their beauty care make them truly unique.

BLUE SKIES 🌿 Thankful for this little bit of ra BLUE SKIES 🌿 Thankful for this little bit of rain we've had. I can't remember a spring this dry, like, ever. Despite the lack of rain, my mum's garden is looking really beautiful. She's recovering from an operation and I'm wishing her the speediest of recoveries and the best of health beyond the op so she can get back in her garden again. 🩷 @heatherkitching11 🌺
EXERCISE, TRIGGER, GLOW, REPEAT 🌿 When it comes EXERCISE, TRIGGER, GLOW, REPEAT 🌿 When it comes to disruptive skincare brands, I am super curious. So when I learned about Achillea Beauty @achillea.beauty and their workout dedicated skincare products, I knew I had to try them.

So what's different about these products?

Firstly, they're designed specifically to work for you before, during, and after your workout. Cleverly, they're activated by the heat generated during exercise, as well as the increased blood flow to the skin’s surface.

Secondly, the ingredients are so carefully considered:

- Achillea Millefolium to calm and rejuvenate.
- Apple Stem Cells to activate skin renewal.
- Croton Lechleri Resin Extract to protect from pollution and improve skin barrier.
- PerfectionPeptide P3 to speed up cell renewal and boost hydration.

The result? Glassy, glowy skin that's boosted with antioxidants and regenerative ingredients. 

The line comprises a collection of three products:

- Micellar Water Cleanser: Use before and after your workout. I find it gentle, refreshing, yet effective. I tend to lean on different types of cleansers to suit my normal/dry/mature skin. However, this product is gentle and it leaves my skin with a huge glow.

- Hero Facial Mist: Feels so good mid-workout. You won't want to work up a sweat without it! Hyaluronic acid plumps the skin, while silk amino acids drench it with silky moisture. It's so refreshing and cooling to use, and I love the scent.

- 2-Minute In-Shower Mask. My favourite Achillea product because it brings huge gains for so little time. This anti-inflammatory and exfoliating rose and hibiscus gel mask is the final cocooning step for cooling redness while boosting cell turnover for the best post-exercise skin.

My skin glows so much when I pair my exercise routine with Achillea Beauty!

Achillea has something unique to offer - you should check them out today. To learn more about the brand visit them @achillea.beauty or achilleabeauty.com.

HAIR GROWTH UPDATE 🌿 So excited to share an upd HAIR GROWTH UPDATE 🌿 So excited to share an update on my hair growth since starting on Megi Wellness @megiwellness hair growth and wellness. 💜

I've been using these hair growth products since July. You can scroll back on my feed to see the original post (the most beautiful purple bottles). 

You can see how much it's grown from looking at where the colour is that I'm growing out. Swipe to see my before shot from July when I started using Megi.

So, my hair is growing really fast but as I mentioned before it's also coming back in around my hairline where it was thinning. It feels and looks denser and more voluptuous than it was. I'm so happy with the results!

There's a shampoo, conditioner, serum, and supplement to take too, and I wholeheartedly recommend them all. The ingredients are backed by science - lab tested innovative ingredients which are proven to strengthen follicles, stimulate hair growth, and prevent hair loss in just 3 months.

Grab yours at megiwellness.com.

How have you been caring for your hair lately?

Btw this isn't really my beautiful Christmassy house in the background...not happening with 4 little kids lol. I've been playing in Photoshop to make a festive profile picture. 🎄🌨️🎅 Hope you're enjoying your Christmas prep! ❤️
ROUND LAB 🌿 Are you curious about Korean skinca ROUND LAB 🌿 Are you curious about Korean skincare brand Round Lab @roundlab.global? In my latest blog post I'm talking about The Best Round Lab Korean Skincare, and I share my top picks for glowing, hydrated, and gorgeous skin from this brand.

Some personal favourites? The Dokdo line is absolutely swoon worthy. My dry mature skin is literally drinking it up. So much hydration! The Dokdo Toner is a real treasure. But I love the Cleansing Oil with evening primrose, salvia, and bergamot too. Oh - and the Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream. Could SPF be any more non intrusive than this?

NATURAL COSMETICS WEEK 🌿 Let's celebrate sustai NATURAL COSMETICS WEEK 🌿 Let's celebrate sustainable beauty with Natural Cosmetics Week, which runs from the 23rd to the 29th November 2024. In its first year, Natural Cosmetics Week aims to help us all embrace nature to empower our skin.

This year’s theme, “Embrace Nature, Empower Your Skin,” highlights the benefits of natural ingredients for skin health while promoting sustainable practises in the beauty industry.

Created by NATRUE @natrue_aisbl the initiative advocates for greater transparency and authenticity in the products we use.

Only brands that meet its strict standards gain NATRUE Certification on their natural and organic cosmetic products.

In order to get a feel for some of the products with NATRUE certification, NATRUE very kindly sent me a box of beautiful skincare to try. 

🌿 Weleda @weledauk Skin Food Nourishing Day Cream: works hard by delivering hydration and all-day-long moisture. 

🌿 Aeos @aeosskincare Realive Serum: with unique spagyric extracts created from opal, amethyst, charoite, turquoise, emerald, quartz, and chrysoprase – said to rejuvenate the skin and balance emotions.

🌿 Dr. Hauschka @drhauschka.gb Cleansing Cream: a wonderful cleanser that rejuvenates and refreshes.

🌿 Lavera @lavera_uk Basis Sensitiv Lip Balm: protects my lips for a good while, even on three school runs per day!

Have you heard of Natural Cosmetics Week? How will you celebrate or participate?
Let's celebrate, because today sees the launch of Let's celebrate, because today sees the launch of Beauty Cleanse Skincare's @beautycleanseskincare new products! 🌿 I'm so excited to finally share their new lineup of next-gen holistic skincare. 

A brand close to my heart, over at beautycleanseskincare.com, you'll find skincare that taps into both ancient healing superfood secrets and barrier boosting science.

I'm currently using 🫐 3B Blue Elixir 🫐 my favourite PM facial oil right now. Formulated with bakuchiol, the plant extract that's touted as plant-based retinol. I'm using this alongside my usual retinol for lovely results. Pro-collagen superfoods like blueberry seed oil make this a great choice for pro-ageing. 

I'm also using the pore blur and dark spot treatment💡 Spotlight 💡 in my AM routine, a light moisturiser with a gentle but effective concentration of niacinamide for optimal results. It’s a multitasker, targeting pigmentation, fine lines, and breakouts. It helps boost ceramide production for a strong skin barrier.

🥦 Blemish Blitz 🥦 is my go-to facial oil in my AM routine. Controlling pesky breakouts with its linoleic acid-rich formula including broccoli seed oil, and up cycled raspberry seed oil. It's soft and cushioning while being non greasy enough for day time. 

Head over to @beautycleanseskincare to learn more or visit beautycleanseskincare.com.

MEGI WELLNESS 🌿 Meet the haircare brand that MEGI WELLNESS 🌿 Meet the haircare brand that’s helped to restore my thinning hair over the last 3 months. It’s Megi Wellness @megiwellness!

Megi Wellness offers a complete solution for women who want to tackle hair loss and naturally restore the thickness and density of their hair.

I've been using Megi products for the past 3 months and I've seen a definite improvement in all aspects of my hair, but most remarkably in the length of my hair, and the regrowth around my hairline.

Swipe to see how much my hair has grown in these before and after shots. The tiny fine hairs around my hairline have thickened up a fair deal, which is super thrilling! I also have a little mini-fringe where new growth has come through.

Meet the products:

🌿 Growth Stimulating Shampoo: rich in growth-stimulating and repairing actives including AnaGain, SymHair Restore, biotin and caffeine.

🌿 Fortifying & Nourishing Conditioner: silicone-free conditioner with AnaGain, caffeine, biotin and protein promises healthy hair growth, and nourished and strengthened hair.

🌿 Growth Stimulating Hair Serum: a lightweight serum with AnaGain, Capilia Longa, and Capixyl, as well as peptides, biotin, and vitamins for thicker, fuller, healthier looking hair and it won’t damage your style or make your hair look lank or greasy. 

🌿 Advanced Hair Growth Supplement: with AnaGain, biotin, folic acid, horsetail and selenium to ensure your nutritional bases are covered.

I can’t imagine life without them now and I’ll likely have them permanently on subscription. I cannot thank Aneta more for the gift of bringing back my thinning hairline!

SOLID BREAST MILK LOTION BARS 🌿 Today I’m rea SOLID BREAST MILK LOTION BARS 🌿 Today I’m really excited to share my formula for solid breast milk lotion bars! 

Just like breastfeeding, making breast milk skincare for your children is a true act of love. 

Furthermore, it’s a great way to treat dry skin. 

Got expired breast milk in the freezer? Great! Making breast milk lotion bars is a good way to use up expired breast milk. 

Need I mention, you get to have fun in the kitchen making these super fun solid breast milk lotion bars!

If you've tried and failed to make a breast milk lotion before - don't worry. Most DIYs out there ask you to use beeswax as an emulsifier - they simply won't work. Step away from the beeswax and try a real emulsifier instead - it's easy. I promise!

Head over to my blog to take a look! Link in bio, or ask me for the link, or head to naturalbeautywithbaby.com.

Do you like to make your own skincare?
DR. LIPP SUPERFOOD TINTS 🌿 So many of us use th DR. LIPP SUPERFOOD TINTS 🌿 So many of us use the fabulous lanolin-based wonder that is @drlipp Nipple Balm. But have you tried these cute and colourful Superfood Tints also? 

They're based on the same formula but contain natural plant pigments for a kissable wash of buildable colour. Three gorgeous shades: Red Radish (a true red - my favourite, swipe to see me wearing), Sweet Potato (a delicate pink), and Elderberry (a plummy red). There's so much to love about them:

❤️ Gorgeous tints: bright and colourful but at the same time moisturising and glossy. 
❤️ Skincare double-up: not only do you get the moisturising and protective benefits of lanolin, you get skin-boosting antioxidants, too. 
❤️ Versatile: you can use them on your lips, cheeks, or eyelids. 
❤️ Easy to use: the tube comes with a doe foot applicator that gives precise application. Use some clear lip liner to stop any colour bleeding outside of the lip line. 
❤️ 5 all-natural ingredients: no plastic and no junk plus recyclable bio-plastic tubes. 
❤️ Long lasting: you get a great longevity with these lip balms that you don't always get with others. 

To read my honest review of all 3 Dr. Lipp Superfood Tints, plus swatches, visit naturalbeautywithbaby.com, or see my link in bio.

They're fast becoming one of my favourite lip balms, but not so much for my cheeks and eyelids. North East England is way too windy for that. 🍃
