Pamoja – clean & conscious skincare + giveaway!

Welcome back, beauty lovers! Today I’m delighted to introduce a warm brand whose genuine desire to help women find a moment for themselves shines through. Hello, Pamoja skincare! This post is a paid partnership with Pamoja. My views are honest and my own. Pa-mo-jah ~ Swahili word meaning “together”. I was so happy when founder and formulator Sarah introduced me to her brand, Pamoja, on Instagram. It’s really great to hear from female brand owners who live close to me in the north east! Especially when I go on to learn they make exquisite skincare that’s natural, vegan, organic, and made right here in the UK. A busy mum, Sarah founded Pamoja after patch testing revealed several allergies. Her skincare routine became part of her holistic self-care ritual. I founded Pamoja to help multitasking women to care for their skin. I know your time is precious and you want to…

Hi, lovely humans! Today I’m sharing 3 of the plastic free wellbeing and beauty picks I made this month. We’re still in plastic free July, and while I’m not able to promise a completely plastic free July, I am making steps in the right direction with some plastic free beauty and health swaps I intend to follow in July and beyond. And I can enjoy these beauties guilt free, since they all reduce plastic packaging.

Plastic Free July Beauty & Health Swaps

Hi beauty lovers! Have you heard of Plastic Free July? Plastic Free July is a movement to reduce the amount of plastic waste we produce. The challenge is to refuse single use plastics in July. As a family, we are mindful of the impact of our plastic waste and have been reducing single use plastics for some time. But there’s still huge room for improvement. The most offending single use plastics we still use as a family are without a doubt wet wipes and disposable nappies. I know how harmful they are for the environment, but sometimes getting through life with little kids seems more important. Can you relate? How does this help you? Maybe you’re in the same position as me. We can’t promise a plastic free July, but we can make a start implementing some changes for life. This is what it’s all about! …The truth is that…

Curious about natural micellar water? + D’Alchemy Micellar Cleansing Water review

Have you used a natural micellar water before? If not, are you curious? Until a few weeks ago, I’d never tried micellar water, never mind one I considered “natural”. I was so happy with my oil, balm, and gel cleansers, for years I completely overlooked micellar water. Micellar water contains compounds that are highly effective at removing dirt and oil to keep skin clear. Healthline Then one night I felt like cleansing without water. I couldn’t be bothered to turn the tap on and fill the sink to remove my makeup. How lazy is that? But we’ve all been there! I needed a waterless cleansing solution. I finally saw a use for micellar cleansing water! According to many of the brands offering micellar water, it brings the duel benefit of makeup removal and cleansing – without any water at all. But we all know that oil-based cleansers are the best…

Latest Lavera skincare loves

Kear Greek Skincare: ancient Greek skincare reborn

Welcome back, beauties! Today I’m introducing a wonderful natural Greek skincare brand that I know you will love as much as I do – introducing Kear Skincare. Inspired by the Greek word for the heart (Greek: κέᾰρ), Kear was born from the love of traditional Hellenic medicinal herbs and essential oils, backed up by solid skincare research. Greece is renowned for its beauty history. “Keeping skin clear and soft was a high priority in the Greek culture.” [source] There is a land where nature, the bright sun and the crystal clear blue sea interact seamlessly with everyday life, while scents from plants and herbs fill in the air every single day Kear products respect the skin, and help to restore its natural beauty with effective, anti-ageing formulations packed with antioxidants. It’s so interesting that the brand studied ancient cosmetic formulas passed down from Greek scholars and philosophers to create its…
