“5 Meditation Tips to Get You Started” is a collaborative post. The Beginnings of Meditation 101 On the surface, meditation seems like one of the easiest practices out there; the truth is though, meditation can be quite difficult unless you understand its purpose. The practice of meditation goes all the way back to 5,000 BCE and is linked with various religious traditions such as Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism. While meditation is a very old practice, it is only in recent times that it has been taken more seriously. Various experiments have been down over the years to explore the benefits of meditation and it was shown that meditation can have a profoundly positive impact on the human mind/body. While meditating on a regular basis is deemed as beneficial, it is not he easiest thing to get into if you don’t have any experience with it. Today, we are going…

Welcome back, my clean beauty friend! Today I’m introducing a young and funky indie skincare brand I know you’ll love – it’s Black Palm Natural Cosmetics! I was so pleased to be introduced to the vegan brand by its founder, Clare. She founded the brand with the belief that our daily self care routine shouldn’t only be about looking after your skin, but also your mind. Inhale scents of Frankincense and Neroli and imagine a psychedelic journey to the moon, letting your worries drift away into oblivion. With her small batch, sustainable beauty products, she wants to help us take the time to turn a daily cleansing routine into a peaceful ritual. This sounds so beautiful to me! What do you think? Shall we learn more about the products I tried? Let’s do it! Black Palm Natural Cosmetics Clare launched her Black Palm skincare collection with her signature “Moonage Daydream”…

Hello again, my empties lover! And welcome to my March 2021 natural beauty empties. This month I have a short but sweet empties list for you! I’m sharing an uplifting citrus body wash and bubble bath that’s brought me great joy over the last few months. There’s also a soothing winter botanical mist, rosy cleansing gel, leave in conditioning spray, and more! Enjoy my March 2021 natural beauty empties! March 2021 natural beauty empties Kathleen Citrus Cheer Bubble Bath & Shower Gel This was my first Kathleen product. I loved it, and I’d really like to try more from Kathleen! It came in the LoveLula June 2020 Beauty Box. I used it mostly in the shower as I find it hard to make time for baths. It’s quite thin as a shower gel and the screw format bottle would definitely be easier in the bath, but oh my – the…

Welcome back, my beauty friend! Let me tell you all about the natural beauty brand that’s transformed my lockdown hair and skin. Have you heard of John Masters Organics before? The brand creates salon-worthy, effective haircare and skincare products using only organic and natural ingredients. When you look and feel your very best, your beauty speaks for itself.

John Masters knew that nature is the best source for clean beauty, so in 1991 he founded his range of haircare products for a gentler and cleaner way to care for hair. In 2019, the brand launched a range…
