January 2019 natural beauty empties

Ready to learn about my January 2019 natural beauty empties! It’s been a year since I started to document my natural beauty empties. I still get a real buzz from finishing a product and including it here. My empties posts are such a nice way to round up the everyday things we use as a family and highlight the stars of my routine. Since the birth of my daughter in November, I’ve had less time for using natural beauty products. But in January things have been a little easier, so I’ve been able to regularly use some of my favourite products again. Hooray for looking after myself! Expect to find luxury face oil, creamy shower wash, sweet smelling baby bath oil, natural hairspray, and a well-loved pink clay konjac sponge. I hope you find it helpful.

Weleda Skin Food review

In this post read my Weleda Skin Food review. This cult beauty product has well-deserved iconic status amongst beauty editors, bloggers, and makeup artists. Around the world, one tube of Skin Food sells every 23 seconds, making it Weleda’s bestselling natural beauty product. Disclosure: this post contains references to products I’ve chosen with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. Since 1926, Weleda Skin Food has brought relief and comfort to those with dry skin, and beautified celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Julia Roberts, and Adele. I’ve been a huge Weleda fan since my early 20s, but it took me a while to try Skin Food. I’m so glad I did. Now, I always have a big tube in my bathroom. There’s a travel size tube in my nappy bag, and one in my car – I like to have some pretty much everywhere.…

December 2018 natural beauty empties

December has been a whirl of caring for my new baby and my toddler, while getting used to being a family of 4 and furiously preparing for Christmas. What a month! I’ve used a beautiful facial oil, deodorant, healthy breastfeeding snacks and teas, and a haircare sample. There’s even a makeup empty, which is rare for me! I always reuse and recycle my packaging. I hope you love my December 2018 natural beauty empties! Natural beauty products Disclosure: this post contains references to PR gifted products and products I’ve chosen with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. The Rose Tree Radiance Facial Essence This wonderful facial oil lasted me a good 10 months. It’s a fabulous radiance booster and a delight to use. I have so many other facial oils in my stash to use, but I know I’ll return to this one.…

Weleda Evening Primrose Age Revitalising Concentrate review

Becoming an official Weleda Cleaner Beauty Ambassador was a really proud moment for me, since I’ve long sung the brand’s praises. As part of my role, I was delighted to be offered the chance to try Weleda Evening Primrose Age Revitalising Concentrate. Disclosure: PR gifted product. My views are honest and my own. The serum has been on my radar for some time. I love oil-free serums, especially in my nighttime skincare routine. It’s part of the Weleda Evening Primrose range for mature skin, based on Weleda’s ‘Lead Plant Philosophy’- a range of super-nutritional regimes to support skin at different life stages. Weleda describe the serum as a highly-effective skin-firming treatment to revitalise mature skin. Weleda note that as we age, our skin loses its elasticity and bounce. The serum aims to counteract this by energising cell renewal, strengthening the skin, and boosting its radiance. This fragrant serum is perfect for…

November 2018 natural beauty empties

November, wow! This month has been all about my darling baby Cara Grace who was born this month. There are only 4 items in my empties this month, for obvious reasons. With a 2 week old baby plus a toddler to care for, my routine has been stripped right down to the very basics. Natural beauty brand Weleda appears in my empties every month without fail, and this month I used another small tube of Weleda Skin Food. I also used up eye gel, shampoo, and maternity pads. Where possible I’ve recycled my packaging. Enjoy my November 2018 natural beauty empties!

Botanicals skincare – sumptuous basics

This is my first post after the birth of my darling Cara Grace. In it, I’d love to share with you some sumptuous basics I’ve been using from the fabulous Botanicals skincare range. Disclosure: review of PR gifted samples. My views are honest and my own. I was over the moon to be asked to try some products from the Botanicals range, and selected some lovely skincare basics to suit my skin type. This was my first time using Botanicals skincare – I’d noticed the brand popping up on LoveLula with other bloggers singing the brand’s praises. The brand aims: to provide a range of personal care products which are as close to nature as possible. Those that harness the pure power of plants. What I really love about Botanicals products is that all the products are handmade in Britain, are Soil Association certified organic, and suitable for vegans. The…

Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant review

Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant is a wonderfully refreshing and effective natural deodorant that is free from aluminium salts and won’t clog pores. I love it so much that it’s appeared twice in my empties posts in the last year! Disclosure: I chose Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. My favourite natural deodorant is Elsa’s Organics Deodorant, but this is my very close second favourite. I love it for different reasons – it has qualities that Elsa’s doesn’t. Even though Elsa’s is effective, I can’t wear it after shaving, as it irritates my skin. This is where Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant really shines – I can wear it right after shaving without any discomfort at all. As well as being no-stain, easy to apply, and fast to dry, it smells absolutely gorgeous. Perfect for autumn and winter. Weleda describes the fragrance as…

Pregnancy foot scrub to reduce swelling & cramping

Are you pregnant and suffering with uncomfortable swollen feet, or feet that cramp painfully during the night? If so, then I really hope my DIY pregnancy foot scrub can help you as much as it’s helped me! Disclosure: this post contains references to PR gifted products. My views are honest and my own. My scrub contains beneficial ingredients known to help with swollen and cramping feet. Like other foot scrubs, it will help keep your feet lovely and soft. I’m 39 weeks pregnant now, so my feet love this gorgeous scrub. I adapted it from a post by the lovely Wellness Mama, specifically with pregnancy feet in mind. How can a pregnancy foot scrub help? First, epsom salts slough off dead skin and help with cramping by replenishing magnesium levels. Tamanu oil aids drainage and circulation. To soften rough skin, add calendula, olive, or almond oil – I prefer calendula for its ability to soften…

October 2018 Natural Beauty Empties

October, how excited I am to see the end of you! This is a particularly poignant empties post for me, as it will be the last before our new baby is born. Expect to find some quite everyday items this month, like natural deodorant, cleansing milk, and oil-free night serum, along with Jonah’s empties – bubble bath, toothpaste, and nappy cream. Naturally, I’ve recycled and reused my packaging. I hope you like my October 2018 natural beauty empties! Full-size natural beauty products Disclosure: this post contains references to PR gifted products and products I’ve chosen with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant I keep meaning to review Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant – twice it’s appeared in my empties before I’ve even had chance to review it. This is a really effective and refreshing deodorant. It smells gorgeous, dries quickly, and…
