Welcome back, beauty lover! Today it’s time to share a gorgeous brand that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for some time but not yet shared on my blog. Pretty Special Beauty creates the most fragrant and well-considered aromatherapy based skincare products. I’m really excited to share with you today my Pretty Special Beauty perfume oils review. Before we look at these perfume oils in more detail, let me introduce Pretty Special Beauty and Lisa, its founder. Nature is the key to pure & natural beauty Lisa believes in creating delicately scented effective skincare products that invoke powerful emotions of happiness and wellbeing. Think sumptuous night balm with exotic butters, beauty oil that boosts the skin’s radiance, and a synergistically blended pillow mist for restful slumbers. I really love how Lisa gives recommendations for using her products within a holistic skincare routine to help you take the best possible care…

These concentrated plant-based oil extracts are obtained through a series of processing steps, the most important of which is…

Welcome back, my lover of all things beauty! Today’s share is long overdue. I’m so delighted to talk about the sublime Raven Botanicals! Based in Scotland, and making the most of local Scottish ingredients, Raven Botanicals bring us luxurious natural skincare products formulated with a nod to the wisdom of ages. Think handmade, plant based, and cruelty free skincare such as cleansers, masks, serums, and oils – with a dusting of magic. With offerings named Glow Potion, Spellbind Serum, and Eventide Rejuvenating Mask, it’s easy to see the connection with spirit and nature. Raven Botanicals is a coming together of sisters Arabella and Charlotte. With backgrounds in art and botany, the duo turned their love of botanical formulas into a skincare line that “captures the mythology of the natural world”. I was delighted when the brand asked me to try samples of their Bathing Oil Trio and Green Goddess Balancing…

Welcome, dear skincare lover! A few weeks back I fell lucky to win a giveaway with the amazing, the sublime, The Rose Tree! And today, I’m sharing The Rose Tree giveaway haul products I chose. I’ll keep this post short, since I’ve already written about The Rose Tree in a lot of detail – their Intensive Balm, Radiance Facial Essence, De-Stress Body Oil and Roller Ball, Soothing Hand Balm, Carrot & Mango Cleansing Butter, and Radiance Cream with Rose & Frankincense. Think British luxury skincare and wellness aromatherapy products at their finest. The brand’s founder, Olga, has the wellness of busy women in her heart. It really comes across in her products.

Welcome back, dear friend. I have a small but mighty share for you this week – it’s the delectable Tam Mason Nourishing Hand Oil! In this post we’re going to talk about why your hands need a hand oil, plus find out all about this fragrant and caring oil. Tam Mason takes hand care to another level with her beautifully scented and cleverly formulated natural skin care. You may remember me featuring Tam Mason Sugar Scrubs back in January last year. Her new product – this gorgeous hand oil with shea butter oil, oat oil, verbena, black pepper, and lavender essential oils, beautifully complements her existing range. It softens the hands and conditions the skin while improving the nails. Why use a hand oil? Have you ever used hand oil before? I afford my hands pretty much the same care as my face. Serums, moisturisers, oils, and SPF – my…

Welcome back, dear friend! Today I’m sharing a wonderful brand with wellness and sustainability at the heart of what they do. I’m so glad to know them. It’s MOAM Organics! MOAM Organics brings us aromatherapy led, super clean, wellness focused body care, laundry and home products. It’s no secret that many of my favourite skincare products are suitable for the whole family. Happily, MOAM Organics products are suitable for use during pregnancy and from 3 months of age.

I absolutely love that I can send my refill pouches back to MOAM for recycling! This brand is making it easier for busy parents to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Louise created MOAM Organics during the first lockdown of 2020 when she was heavily pregnant. When she struggled to…

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m so excited to share with you my thoughts on the Norfolk based skincare brand Nudge Boutique! I’ve been a long time admirer of this hand-crafted vegan skincare since first encountering the brand over on Instagram. Founded by mother and grandmother Jo, Nudge Boutique brings us beautiful formulations that use plant-power to “nudge back” the gloss and glow, and nudge us into making great choices for the environment. Jo’s skincare formulating journey shows a true love for plant ingredients and a passion for promoting women’s skin health and well being. I [also] felt an increased sense of well being from using nature’s ingredients, and at that time, I never knew how important a role this would play in my life. Recognising that skin and haircare needs change as we move into our forties and beyond, Nudge products help us transition our routine into one of balance and hydration. One…

Welcome back, my lovely friend! Today’s share is one very close to my heart – it’s the beautiful plant-based fragrance especially for mothers – it’s Nurture by Abel Odor! I’m so excited to share it with you, because this 100% natural fragrance makes the perfect choice for all mothers, and especially expecting ladies and mothers of young babies and children. Soft, cocooning, grounding, nurturing ~ like a hug from my own mum and the thoughts of the love between me and my little one. As a pregnant lady (38 weeks and counting!), the last thing I want is a heavy fragrance. This is also true while breastfeeding. Nurture is everything I could want from a fragrance. It’s light, yet it has longevity. Nurture is a fragrance that sits very comfortably without overloading my senses or overpowering my ability to take in other scents in my environment – such as my…

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today’s post is all about a pregnancy skincare discovery I’m super excited to share – it’s Natalia pregnancy skincare! Now, at the beginning of September, I’m almost eight months pregnant – woohoo! And, as all mamas can attest, the third trimester of pregnancy is a seriously tiring time. Yet, it’s also extremely exciting! Everything feels a bit more real – and with labour looming and pregnancy niggles amplified, it’s nice to find products that can help ease those pregnancy discomforts and prepare me for labour. I first came across Natalia when I was pregnant with Cara in 2018. I bought their lovely labour massage oil intending to use it at hospital. Helping you connect positively with your changing body through positive touch, whilst caring for and nourishing your skin, and at the same time supporting you physically and emotionally with uplifting aromatherapy. Unfortunately, everything went so…

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today’s post is all about the amazing Poppy’s Super Age-Defying Organic Face Oil! In March this year I was so happy to share my thoughts on Poppy’s Natural Skincare – hop over to that article to learn more about the brand. We can’t always control our lives but we can adopt good skincare habits. Poppy Since then, it’s been a pleasure to stay in touch with Poppy. Naturally, I was very excited to hear about new skincare arrivals in her collection. And so, I was even more excited when Poppy asked if I’d like to try one of her newest face oils! But what is this oil? It’s a super luxurious, age-defying oil containing no less than 31 potent botanical ingredients including bakuchiol, amla, and CoQ10. It’s absolutely my favourite face oil right now. I’ve been using it for 6 weeks twice a day – so…
