Welcome back, skincare friend! Today we’re going to learn about Typology’s recent summer edit – the new Typology Sunscreen and Botanical Mists! Typology are one of my favourite skincare brands at the moment. Their products are from my dreams – clean and effective, yet minimal and always packaged in eco-conscious packaging. I’ve tried quite a few of their products now, and it’s safe to say I love them all, including the Glow Drops! So when I learned Typology had released a sunscreen I got seriously excited! Sunscreen is something I use religiously come rain or shine. Usually I’m using up the kids’ zinc oxide sunscreens and covering up the cast with mineral powder. So I’m itching to try something a bit more grown up that works better for the face and doesn’t leave such a greasy and glaring complexion. Typology regularly send me products to try, and along with the…

Welcome back, beauty friend! Are you a fan of CBD skincare? Today I have a wonderful CBD serum discovery for you! It’s the very special Ascend Caffeine + CBD Brightening Oil Serum! This serum marries two of my favourite things – coffee and cannabis. It is bold, it is authentic, a coffee lover’s dream, and lusciously rich with cannabis plant extracts – and my skin is loving it! But before we learn more about this serum, let’s take a little look at Ascend Elevated Skincare so we can better understand the background of this serum. Our serums might not replace a spa day, but in a world where we all need to take a bit more time to look after ourselves, I hope that people will find a moment of serenity in their skincare rituals with the help of Ascend. Tamara Mcasey, co-founder & head formulator Ascend stands for holistically…

“Important Information To Keep In Mind About LASER Hair Removal” is a post contributed by Austin K. LASER body hair removal is one of the best ways to get rid of body hair. For some people, getting rid of excess body hair is purely for cosmetic reasons but for most, it is a decision that is taken in order to increase their hygiene quotient. In this context, if you are also planning to head on over to your preferred hair removal clinic then be sure to keep the following information in your mind: You would need multiple sessions LASER hair removal sessions lead to immediate results but bear in mind that you won’t be able to rest assured as the overall hair growth rate won’t be arrested in just a single session. LASER body hair removal cannot permanently remove body hair from your skin but it can reduce the density…

“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…
