Typology Sunscreen & Botanical Mists: summer skincare

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. 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 sunscreen they also sent…

Suntribe Kids Mineral Sunscreen review

Welcome back, beauty lovers! Today I’d like to introduce a very lovely sun protection brand and their gorgeous kids sunscreen. Hello, Suntribe Kids Mineral Sunscreen! This post is a paid partnership with Suntribe. My views are honest and my own. I can’t believe this clean sunscreen brand flew under my radar for so long before I met one of their lovely co-founders, Julia. Suntribe is all about sun care with no worries, which feels especially important when you have little ones. I spend way too much time worrying about my kids’ sunscreen, whether or not I’ve applied enough, in the right places, and whether or not I need to reapply it! Mums and dads, are you with me? So I really don’t want the additional worry of our sunscreen containing controversial ingredients or polluting the environment. Born from the love of nature, Suntribe was founded in Sweden by outdoor lovers,…

Natural sunscreen for kids & families

As a mum to four little ones, I’ve used a lot of natural sunscreen for kids! From babies, to bigger kids – all tried and tested. And in this post I’m sharing the natural sunscreen for kids we’ve used the most. Step this way if high street and chemist store sunscreens irritate your children’s skin! My favourite natural sunscreens for kids are those that can be used for both adults and children. Packing just one tube saves valuable space in my bag, and a gentle mineral sunscreen works just fine for grown ups too! Peace of mind I’m using the gentlest sun protection there is. Oh, summer. We look forward to it all year, and then it’s over in a flash. But what memories we take away! Happy children playing on the beach, meals together, and whiling the day away lounging in comfy hammocks, if we’re lucky! But with extra UV…

Toddler first aid kit – the first aid & home remedy items you need

This post will help you put together a handy toddler first aid kit. Mobile babies and toddlers get in so many scrapes don’t they? Many of these ouchies are treatable at home with lots of cuddles and a few choice first aid kit items. When Jonah started to walk at 13 months, we realised we needed a first aid kit to treat his minor bumps and scrapes. We didn’t want to buy a first aid kit off the shelf, because we wanted more than just practical items like plasters, bandages, and dressings. We also wanted toddler-friendly and natural remedies that would ease common complaints and support Jonah’s body to heal itself. My husband and I aren’t very physical people, so we don’t get injured that often. And luckily, we don’t tend to get poorly much – apart from when Jonah brings the lurgies back from play group. Reflecting this, our…
