Welcome back, dear friends! Have you tried Ere Perez beauty before? This Australian natural cosmetics brand creates high quality, healthy, and easy to use beauty. Perhaps best known for its gorgeous makeup pieces, the brand formulates nourishing skincare too. Ere Perez, a Mexican-born natural therapist, is the creator of this stunning brand. And, although I’ve admired Ere Perez from a distance for some time, this is my first foray into the cruelty-free brand. The brand selects natural oils, plant extracts, and minerals with great care. Many of the items have sun protection in mind. In each product, you’ll find health-giving and beneficial ingredients inside. Being naturally beautiful encompasses everything about our lives. It’s being kind to ourselves and our fellow creatures; being thoughtful and considerate of other people; conscious of conserving the beauty of our planet and making the most our own natural beauty and recognising our inner strength. Ere…
Welcome back, friends! Let me introduce you to something that’s lifting my social distancing blues. Say hello to my new Utama Spice Nebulising Diffuser! Isn’t it beautiful? I was delighted to discover Utama Spice and their gorgeous natural aromatherapy products! Aromatherapy is super interesting to me, and I’ve used essential oils for many years. Why? I love their pure natural scent – just a few drops can be calming, soothing, uplifting, or energising! And although studies are yet to confirm that aromatherapy can make a physical difference, we do know that inhaling essential oils activates the limbic system, the part of the brain that controls emotion, behaviour, and memories (1). Utama Spice, based in Bali, draws from ancient Balinese herbal knowledge to enhance skin’s natural beauty and boost emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Only 100% pure and natural ingredients are carefully crafted to retain Bali’s traditional herbal knowledge. The brand follows…
I was so pleased to meet Jenny from Koti Lifestyle. Although her Nordic natural skincare store, Koti Lifestyle, is now closed – the introduction opened up the world of Nordic natural skincare to me. Nordic skincare is some of the most beautiful and effective skincare available. It’s deeply influenced by the desire to protect the environment, with many products leaning toward plastic-free zero waste options. Many of us recognise the simplicity of the Nordic lifestyle and its focus on nature to heal and rejuvenate. Nordic children are raised to be thankful to nature. Nature also provides such powerful ingredients, although we sometimes tend to forget them in our chemical-infused lives. Jenny Nordic You’ll find skincare with multiple uses, that’s environmentally conscious, and harnesses all the power of Nordic natural ingredients. And what power! Nordic skincare is hard working and tough! The plants from which Nordic ingredients are derived endure extreme…
How are you today? I hope you’re well and confinement isn’t bringing you down too much. We all miss our family and friends immensely! Just a quick post today to let you know about the skincare finds I picked up at Persephone Beauty. Persephone Beauty is a natural and organic online beauty store showcasing handpicked conscious beauty. It was founded by lovely wife and husband team Laura and Chris, and named after Persephone – the beautiful Greek goddess of all things nature and springtime. We named ourselves after Persephone because she represents a feminine connection to nature, with spring coinciding with her annual return from Hades. Laura had the idea for Persephone Beauty during her pregnancy, when like so many of us, she really began to scrutinise and question the ingredients in her skincare and beauty. She truly cares about finding the right skincare, and you can find all her…
Here are my March 2020 natural beauty empties. Another month of empties, and how much life has changed since my last empties post. In the light of the Coronavirus pandemic, my post about skincare empties seems trivial, but I’m finding solace in my skincare and carrying on my blog as normal. And you know what? Taking care of my skin is still incredibly important to me! It’s pretty much my rock. In March, I used up hydrating day cream, silky tinted lip balm, a zesty lemon hand smoothie for sore hands, tea tree balm, and lemongrass & chamomile soap. Enjoy! Natural beauty empties Lumen Vitae Ray of Light Day Cream I was kindly sent Ray of Light Day Cream and others in the Lumen Vitae range to try. This soothing cream took me no time to use up – I loved it. It’s hydrating and calming, perfect for wearing in…
Cleansing, especially with HoliFrog cleansers, is the best part of my daily skincare routine. It prepares me for the day, and it helps me unwind at night. It’s a loving ritual towards myself; a refreshing yet comforting mood-boosting experience that I always look forward to! And it goes without saying that cleansing is really important for healthy and good looking skin. It removes makeup and dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells, and prepares skin for further treatments. It’s so much more than just removing daily makeup and grime! Have a skincare concern? There’s a cleanser for that, since many great cleansers are tailored towards your specific skin concern. Breakouts or dull skin? Try an acid wash with smoothing AHAs. Dry, uncomfortable skin? Try a milky wash with calming fatty acids and aloe vera. I’m always excited to try new and interesting cleansers, so I was hopping on my seat…
Welcome to my February 2020 natural beauty empties! I’m late posting my used up products again and while I don’t have many empties for February, they’re all natural beauty products I’ve really enjoyed using. I’ve got anti-ageing face cream, illuminating vitamin C serum, nude lip gloss, gentle baby shampoo, soothing eye cream, zesty body oil, and a comforting buttermilk soap for the whole family. Read on to learn more! February 2020 natural beauty empties D’Alchemy Age Defence Broad-Spectrum Remedy This is a wonder of a cream, softening lines while deeply hydrating and I’m very sad to have emptied it! I reviewed it and other D’Alchemy moisturisers some months ago. The cream is great for normal to dry skin and “provides intensive skin regeneration, lightens up discolouration, fills up wrinkles, and prevents loss of firmness and density” – great news for me – this year I seem to look a lot…
Hi, it’s nice to see you here! Today, I’m talking about female fertility and using a home fertility test kit. Some months back I was approached by LetsGetChecked who wondered if I’d like to try one of their at home health tests. LetsGetChecked have been offering personal health tests in the UK since 2016. They use the world’s best accredited labs and tests range from sexual health, wellness, vitamin status, lyme disease, and more. Go straight to my discount code for LetsGetChecked! Since most of my readers are women planning or parenting little ones, I was beyond interested to try a home fertility test kit. Our family is complete and I just turned 40, but I still have fertility curiosity, like am I still fertile even though I’m breastfeeding? Am I approaching menopause soon? How quickly is my fertility declining? When can I expect to see menopausal symptoms? I admit,…
Welcome back beauty lovers! In this post I introduce my spring hair care picks. Spring is a great time to refresh your hair care look and products. I’ve only just started to use these natural hair care products, so I’ll update you on how we got on in a later post or in my empties post. Let’s take a look!

It’s made using Amazonian rainforest ingredients along with green tea and rosemary leaf extracts, and palo santo oil. This hair…
My January 2020 natural beauty empties marks 2 whole years of writing about my empties! I really love creating empties posts. I get to share all the lovely skincare that I enjoyed enough to finish up, but might not have had chance to review in a separate post. And it has been a bumper month for using up lots of delicious natural and organic skincare products. I present probiotic serum, age-defying body cream, daily moisturiser for eczema, natural haircare, natural makeup, and much more! So let’s get started rooting through my empties box! January 2020 natural beauty empties Esse Plus Probiotic Serum Have you tried probiotic skincare before? It’s recommended by many dermatologists, since our skin is dependent on the balance of good and bad microbes living on and in the skin. What’s the hype with probiotic skincare? Research has shown that probiotic skincare can protect our skin from bad…
