Hello again, lover of empties! And welcome to my August 2021 natural beauty empties. August has been a quiet month for blogging as I wind down towards the end of my pregnancy with our third child. But I still have a ton of empties for you, as my skin needs extra care during pregnancy. In August I used up a sumptuous night cream for hands, kombucha power toner, and a eucalyptus body wash.

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today’s post is all about the amazing Poppy’s Super Age-Defying Organic Face Oil!

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today we’re going to learn about Typology’s recent summer edit – the new Typology Sunscreen and Botanical Mists! Typology are one of my favourite skincare brands at the moment. Their products are from my dreams – clean and effective, yet minimal and always packaged in eco-conscious packaging. I’ve tried quite a few of their products now, and it’s safe to say I love them all. So when I learned Typology had released a sunscreen I got seriously excited! Sunscreen is something I use religiously come rain or shine. Usually I’m using up the kids’ zinc oxide sunscreens and covering up the cast with mineral powder. So I’m itching to try something a bit more grown up that works better for the face and doesn’t leave such a greasy and glaring complexion. Typology regularly send me products to try, and along with the sunscreen they also sent…
