November 2021 natural beauty empties

Welcome, lover of empties. And thanks for taking a look at my November 2021 natural beauty empties! In November, I used far fewer skincare products than usual since we’ve been settling into life with little Lydia. Caring for a newborn is a full time job, but I’ve luckily found a little time for skincare and makeup. This month you’ll find a calming facial oil, hydrating serum, chakra balancing salt soap, and more. The box is practically empty compared with previous months! Shall we take a look? November 2021 natural beauty empties Native Essentials Azur Calming Light Oil I used this gorgeous calming oil for a month or so towards the end of my pregnancy with Lydia. On the morning of my labour, I was so happy to use Azur and appreciate it to its fullest. It’s so calming and soothing, with nourishing oils of cacay, plum, argan, and watermelon. The…

October 2021 natural beauty empties

Hello, my dear empties lover! Welcome to my October 2021 natural beauty empties! This is the first post I’ve made since our daughter, Lydia Evelyn, arrived. My kids helped me with the photography this month, and they’ve had lots of fun building “pumpkin patches” indoors while I feed the baby. There may be less time to enjoy skincare in the time immediately after welcoming a new baby, but the emphasis is very much on a basic skincare routine that’s fast, simple, yet comforting. So this month, you’ll find a creamy and gentle facial wash, the dry body oil I enjoyed in the last few days of pregnancy, and a refreshing lemon deodorant. My kids used up a gorgeous natural baby oil. Enjoy my October empties!

Nudge Boutique ~ beautiful plant-based skincare from Norfolk

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m so excited to share with you my thoughts on the Norfolk based skincare brand Nudge Boutique! I’ve been a long time admirer of this hand-crafted vegan skincare since first encountering the brand over on Instagram. Founded by mother and grandmother Jo, Nudge Boutique brings us beautiful formulations that use plant-power to “nudge back” the gloss and glow, and nudge us into making great choices for the environment. Jo’s skincare formulating journey shows a true love for plant ingredients and a passion for promoting women’s skin health and well being. I [also] felt an increased sense of well being from using nature’s ingredients, and at that time, I never knew how important a role this would play in my life. Recognising that skin and haircare needs change as we move into our forties and beyond, Nudge products help us transition our routine into one of balance and hydration. One…

Nurture by Abel Odor – a Fragrance for Mothers

Welcome back, my lovely friend! Today’s share is one very close to my heart – it’s the beautiful plant-based fragrance especially for mothers – it’s Nurture by Abel Odor! I’m so excited to share it with you, because this 100% natural fragrance makes the perfect choice for all mothers, and especially expecting ladies and mothers of young babies and children. Soft, cocooning, grounding, nurturing ~ like a hug from my own mum and the thoughts of the love between me and my little one. As a pregnant lady (38 weeks and counting!), the last thing I want is a heavy fragrance. This is also true while breastfeeding. Nurture is everything I could want from a fragrance. It’s light, yet it has longevity. Nurture is a fragrance that sits very comfortably without overloading my senses or overpowering my ability to take in other scents in my environment – such as my…

September 2021 Natural Beauty Empties

Hello again, empties lover! And welcome to my September 2021 natural beauty empties! It’s been an interesting month where I tried to minimise trying too many new products and blogging about them, but failed! Sometimes it’s hard to slow down with the things I love! Our darling new baby is due in just 2 weeks, so I’m understandably wanting to wind things down. But on the other hand, Cara started at playgroup so I have a little extra time before bubs comes earthside. I have a modest amount of empties for you this month. I’ve been masking most nights through September to try and carve some relaxation time, plus use up some of my huge mask stash. So, in this month’s empties you’ll find a sumptuous honey mask, refreshing floral mist, anti-ageing facial oil, and more. My kids used up a creamy body lotion and body wash. Shall we take…

Natalia pregnancy skincare essentials review

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today’s post is all about a pregnancy skincare discovery I’m super excited to share – it’s Natalia pregnancy skincare! Now, at the beginning of September, I’m almost eight months pregnant – woohoo! And, as all mamas can attest, the third trimester of pregnancy is a seriously tiring time. Yet, it’s also extremely exciting! Everything feels a bit more real – and with labour looming and pregnancy niggles amplified, it’s nice to find products that can help ease those pregnancy discomforts and prepare me for labour. I first came across Natalia when I was pregnant with Cara in 2018. I bought their lovely labour massage oil intending to use it at hospital. Helping you connect positively with your changing body through positive touch, whilst caring for and nourishing your skin, and at the same time supporting you physically and emotionally with uplifting aromatherapy. Unfortunately, everything went so…

August 2021 Natural Beauty Empties

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. Plus a £155 facial serum – is it worth it? And for the littles, body wash and hand sanitiser foam. Shall we take a look at them all in more detail now? Let’s do it! August 2021 natural beauty empties Kiss The Moon Love Night Cream for Hands Without a doubt, Kiss The Moon Love Night Cream for Hands is a holy grail product for me. It’s so silky and fragrant and perfect to use just before…

Poppy’s Super Age-Defying Organic Face Oil review

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today’s post is all about the amazing Poppy’s Super Age-Defying Organic Face Oil! In March this year I was so happy to share my thoughts on Poppy’s Natural Skincare – hop over to that article to learn more about the brand. We can’t always control our lives but we can adopt good skincare habits. Poppy Since then, it’s been a pleasure to stay in touch with Poppy. Naturally, I was very excited to hear about new skincare arrivals in her collection. And so, I was even more excited when Poppy asked if I’d like to try one of her newest face oils! But what is this oil? It’s a super luxurious, age-defying oil containing no less than 31 potent botanical ingredients including bakuchiol, amla, and CoQ10. It’s absolutely my favourite face oil right now. I’ve been using it for 6 weeks twice a day – so…

This soothing, calming and antioxidant rich CBD based skincare range is a real treat you should know about! As a long time admirer, I have good experience of the range and its effects on my skin.

July 2021 natural beauty empties

Hello my dear! And welcome to my July 2021 natural beauty empties! What a month July has been for me personally. We’re in the process of choosing a new house and readying ours for sale, and did you hear my news over on Instagram? We’re expecting our third child in October! So I’m trying to put my feet up a little in the evening which means less blogging. However, there will always be time for empties, where I share the skincare, haircare, and beauty we’ve used up through the month. And I have another bumper month for you! Packed with summer skincare essentials and beauty products to help you feel good! In July, I used up a gorgeous digital detox face mist, solid shampoo bar, hydrating moisturiser, vetiver face mask, and more. My kids went through 3 natural sunscreens plus a grizzly mane detantangler! Do you want to learn more…
