How mums can use baby products to stay fit

Having a baby demands a lot of time, attention, and energy. You may find it difficult to care for your own wellbeing when your child needs you more often than not. Most of all, exercise is a challenge to make time for, since most workouts need separate time and space to successfully do. “Having a baby changes nearly everything about your life, including your exercise routine,” says Erin Heger, mum of two. “You might be […] having trouble finding the time to work out now that you have this newborn in your arms who always seems to be hungry.” Fortunately, with the right baby equipment and a creative mind, you’ll find that you don’t have to leave your baby alone to exercise. After all, a ton of baby products can surprisingly keep you fit. Below are some of them. Using a baby carrier A baby carrier will allow you to…

Typology Hair Care – Hair Oils and Scalp Serums

Welcome back, beauty lover! Today’s post is all about Typology hair care! If you’ve known me for a while, you know about my love for Typology. In September last year they launched new Typology hair oil and scalp serum products. But wait! Last year, you say? Aren’t bloggers supposed to share the latest products? And I do share their latest products. Just look at Typology Glow Serum, one of their latest product releases. Well of course, however I had a baby in October last year, so I wanted to wait a little longer to test these hair care products from Typology thoroughly – since I thought they’d be especially helpful in the postpartum period. My scalp is also super fussy in winter, so I thought I’d really be able to put these products through their paces in the winter months – which I have! There are two hair oils -…

January & February 2022 natural beauty empties

Hello again, my lovely! And welcome to my January and February 2022 natural beauty empties. Since I hardly had any full size empties in January, I decided to merge January and February’s empties into one post to make it a little more interesting. The end of February is always filled with optimism for brighter and warmer days to come. It’s so good to see Spring appearing, including the arrival of beautiful snowdrops. And, although it is said not to bring the first snowdrops indoors as they can bring bad luck, I did it anyway. Aren’t they dainty? In these last two months of winter, I used up a brightening CBD, hemp, and coffee facial oil, glorious rose water, brightening facial mask, and more! I’m also sharing a lot of empties from the Biossance Advent Calendar my husband gifted me last Christmas. Shall we take a look? January & February 2022…

Sakrid Beauty ~ the kindest skin & haircare

Welcome back, my dear friend! Today I’d love to talk about a beauty brand close to my heart – it’s the wonderful Sakrid Beauty! Sakrid brings us clean and conscious skincare and haircare that’s organic, vegan, and sustainable. The founder of Sakrid, Natalie Elliott, is a true inspiration to women and mums. Not only is she the founder of the clean beauty line, she also talks weekly on her radio show, The Natural Beauty Show – hosted by UK Health Radio. Back in December I was honoured to talk about safe baby skincare on Natalie’s radio show, so do have a listen. I was in good company with guests including Baby Centre and Scentered. But, back to Sakrid. In a market that is so filled with “clean beauty”, what stands Sakrid apart from other clean beauty brands? Natalie’s brand came about during her mother’s fight against breast cancer, making finding…

Family Skincare for Winter

Welcome back, my dear! I’m so excited to tell you about the family skincare for winter I picked up a few weeks ago. At 3 months postpartum, and with the delicate skin of 3 little ones to care for, I’m always on the lookout for clean and kind skincare that can be shared between us all. And especially so in the colder months, when it’s all the more important to care for our skin and protect it from the cold and the wind. And by the way, if you’re interested in learning about winter skincare for your family or how to protect your baby’s skin in winter, do take a look at my winter skin care guides. Today, I’m sharing my views on the comprehensive Lyonsleaf Mum & Baby Skincare Survival Kit, fragrant Skinlove Baby Gelified Rescue Oil, healing Silvan Skincare Mama’s Balm, beautiful Alteya Calming Aromatic Mist, and Good…

Talking safe baby skincare on The Natural Beauty Show

Hi there, dear friend! Back in December, I was delighted to be interviewed by the lovely Natalie Elliott for The Natural Beauty Show on UK Health Radio – talking safe baby skincare. During the show we talked about safe baby skincare, mothering during the pandemic, and what ingredients to avoid in baby skincare. I was so honoured to be included amongst the other guests, including Baby Centre and Scentered. A true pinch me moment! Natalie is the founder of Sakrid, a wonderful clean beauty brand you’ve maybe met already. Her love of clean formulas for all, her radio show discussing clean beauty issues, and her dedication to safer skincare, makes a real hero to me! Natalie and I plan to explore a mummy and baby product in collaboration, and I’ll keep you informed on this exciting development. It’s so refreshing to find female founders bringing on board real mums to…

Welcome back, skincare lover! In this post we’ll be looking at my Cult Beauty Christmas haul including the Best of 2021 Goody Bag. My husband chose some gorgeous gifts for me this year – everything from Cult Beauty – and the clever human bagged the long awaited free gift with purchase goody bag while he was at it. I can’t wait to show you what I got! Plus talk about the bag. It’s a real treasure trove – packed with 28 products – and worth over £370.

December 2021 natural beauty empties

Hi again, empties lover! And welcome to my December 2021 natural beauty empties. If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know we have a new(ish) baby in the family. Lydia is doing really well, and since her nap times and wake windows have become a little more defined, I’ve managed a little more chill-out time in the bathroom. Of course, no school run means more time in the morning for skincare. I’ve even enjoyed the odd face mask or relaxing bath in the evening. It’s so important to find time to relax, especially with all the Christmas prep! This month I have a small collection of empties, yet it contains two of my absolute favourites – Dafna’s Recovery Cleanser and Lilfox Couture Haute C Serum. There’s also nipple balm, coconut oil, kids’ body wash, and more! Let’s take a look. December 2021 natural beauty empties Dafna’s Recovery Cleanser This gorgeous…
