Raven Botanicals for Magical Me-Time

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…

Organyc Cotton Products For Mum & Baby Care

Welcome back, my friend! Today’s post is all about the cotton products I’ve been using from Organyc. These products are made with 100% certified organic cotton. They take care of delicate skin in so many ways – think beauty, feminine, maternity, and baby care. Organyc products are naturally absorbent, renewable, and sustainable. The brand promises a comfortable and breathable experience that’s reassuringly free from plastics, dyes, perfumes, pesticides, phthalates, super absorbent polymers, and wood pulp. While it is true that single use cotton products are not the most sustainable option to us, they make a great option when we’re short on time, travelling, or have a new baby and need simplicity and convenience. Lydia and I are having great fun trying out a selection of products from their range, including cotton wool balls, baby wipes, intimate wipes, beauty round pads, and cotton buds. Shall we learn more about them now?…

Be a curious cat: how to create a life that delights

“Be a curious cat: how to create a life that delights” is a collaborative post. People often associate curiosity with children, daydreaming, or brash behaviour. However, this trait has the potential to influence your outlook on life in a very practical, tangible way. Staying curious about the world means staying open to possibility, and choosing to see potential where others see a void. Curiosity connects us to a deeper sense of wonderment within ourselves, often sparking gratitude and appreciation along the way. It also keeps us sharp, open-minded, and ready to explore uncharted territories. Some studies even suggest that curiosity is important for long-term cognitive development. Adopting a mindset of curiosity is one of the best ways to create a life that delights, inspires, and excites—whether you’re a child or a fully grown adult. Plus, it’s one of the few areas of expertise your children probably understand better than you…

Tea & Tonic Gentle Solitude Face Oil review

Welcome back, skincare lover! I’m so excited about today’s share! It’s the wonderful Tea & Tonic Gentle Solitude Face Oil! I was delighted to discover the UK wellness brand Tea & Tonic. This interesting company matches skincare and teas for your brightest skin and self. I’ll be honest with you. With upwards of 30 facial oils in my collection, and a house move looming, I’m trying to be sensible and rein in my face oils collection until after the move. But Gentle Solitude got me so curious, I had to try it! What fascinates me about Tea & Tonic is their expert blending of local herbs like borage and lavender, with supportive adaptogenic herbs like ashwaghanda, holy basil, and ginseng. Have you heard about adaptogenic herbs? Adaptogen super herbs naturally enhance our resistance to daily stressors, re-balance and support a healthy immune system. These are powerful supportive agents that help…

Hair Gain Gummies for Postpartum Hair Loss

Welcome back, beauty lover! Today, I’m sharing my review of Hair Gain Gummies! Do you suffer from postpartum hair loss? After each of my pregnancies, my hair shed by the bucket-load!

I was thrilled to discover Hair Gain Gummies on Cult Beauty! These tasty chews promise to support the growth of normal hair while contributing essential vitamins and minerals, such as biotin, selenium, and zinc.

Zoe Bee Charcoal & Oat Moisturiser for baby eczema

Welcome back, my lovely! Today I’m delighted to share a cream that’s improving and soothing Lydia’s eczema. It’s the fabulous Zoe Bee Charcoal & Oat Moisturiser! Does your baby suffer with eczema? This condition is estimated to affect up to 20% of infants worldwide. I know I’m not alone in finding my baby’s eczema really distressing. Lydia’s eczema It started when Lydia was about 8 weeks old. When red patches first appeared on her face and thighs, I wasn’t worried. My other children had something similar at her age and it cleared on its own. However, Lydia’s eczema didn’t go away. It got worse, and nothing I did helped. In hindsight, my other children probably had cradle cap, not eczema. We live and learn! It was so sad to see her scratch herself in her sleep, and the itch-scratch cycle left her skin so much worse. Always keeping her nails…
