Mother’s Day Gifting Under £50

Welcome back, beauty lover! And Mother, if you’re reading this please stop reading now! I’m sharing gifts for you in my Mother’s Day gifting under £50! Mother’s Day is almost here, and it’s time to honour the beautiful human that brought me into this world. My poor mum has had a terrible few months. Not only is she stuck in this miserable lockdown with the rest of us, but since November she’s been in serious chronic pain, resulting in a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. This Mother’s Day, I really want to cheer her up and encourage her to put her feet up and relax with some beautiful goodies. I love a mix of high end and good value natural beauty treats. I picked up a luxury body care gift set, lipstick, sheet mask, toner, and a pretty-in-pink multitasking balm bar – all for under £50! Let’s take a look what…

Poppy’s Natural Skincare for dry skin

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today the focus is on a very lovely brand I’ve known about for a while but only recently had the pleasure of trying – it’s Poppy’s Natural Skincare! I was over the moon when Poppy introduced herself over on Instagram. We chatted about skincare and my skin, which was lovely. Poppy very kindly asked if I’d like to try her award winning natural skincare. Of course, I jumped at the chance. And when it came to Poppy’s attention that I have psoriasis on my scalp (currently under control), elbows (a little sore) and eczema on my hands (water filled blisters, itchiness, redness, soreness), she was eager to talk with me on the phone about my skin conditions. Of course it was lovely to chat with Poppy on the phone and our conversation went beyond skincare into family, work and more. It was interesting to learn how…

Vetiver skincare – 3 earthy & grounding beauty products to try

Welcome back, my dear friend! Today I’m focusing on vetiver skincare! Have you heard of vetiver before? You’ve probably seen vetiver oil mentioned in ingredients lists. Its INCI listing is vetiveria zizanoides. Vetiver is a perennial grass similar to other fragrant grasses such as lemongrass, citronella and palmarosa. It’s native to India, and its major producers include Haiti, India, Indonesia, and Réunion. (source: Wikipedia) Its essential oil is derived from its fibrous roots which are cleaned, dried and distilled to produce the oil. (source: Soil) What does vetiver smell like? To me, it’s warm, earthy, green, woody, and smoky. It’s a bit like a plant hug from some ancient tree in a damp forest. Vetiver is a traditionally masculine fragrance. Its grounding notes draw me in and comfort me; perfect in these times of uncertainty. By treesftf – CC BY 2.0 Think you haven’t experienced vetiver before? You’re likely mistaken.…

Re:connection Skincare Slow Down Sunday Body Butter

Hello, my dear friend! Are you a fan of body butter? I love its sumptuous richness for winter skin. And today, I’m sharing my latest discovery – Re:connection Skincare Slow Down Sunday Body Butter! Don’t you just love the name, Slow Down Sunday? It really captures the essence of this natural and organic skincare brand with their focus on reconnecting with ourselves through skincare. Back in November I tried Re:connection Skincare for the first time when I reviewed the Restoring Facial Serum. I remain impressed by this wonderful facial oil, and I knew Slow Down Sunday Body Butter would impress me too. We hope our products will serve you as means to slow down, explore and listen to your body. Slow Down Sunday will certainly bring a moment of reconnection.

January 2021 natural beauty empties

Hello again, my friend! Welcome to my January 2021 natural beauty empties. What to say about January? The lockdown, supporting my husband working from home, worrying about all our health – it takes its toll. But skincare, as usual, is a beautiful distraction and – we had snow! It was so good to frolic in the white stuff, have fun, and forget about lockdown, just for one day. This month, I used up a beautiful gel cleanser, all-in-one balm, ginseng face tonic, and more. My littles used up a gentle hydrating body lotion and a baby sleep rollerball. I hope you find my January empties helpful! January 2021 natural beauty empties D’Alchemy Purifying Facial Cleanser One of my favourite gel cleansers. It’s great during times of hormonal breakouts since it mildly exfoliates and contains soothing ingredients. I really love the softly foaming texture and the orange and vanilla scent. You…
