And I’m delighted to say that I’m absolutely over the moon with NK Naturals and their skincare tailored to meet the needs of winter skin. I was supposed to be taking a blogging break.

Welcome back, beauty lover! Today, I’m sharing my at-home spa day with Martina Gebhardt! Christmas preparations are tiring this mama out. I’m sure you can relate? When life gets like this, I like to schedule in some down time – just for me. To help me take that precious time, my husband took our children to see their grandma so I could have an afternoon of recharging and regrouping. Visiting a spa is one of my favourite things to do. But with us being in tier 3, it doesn’t make much sense to visit a spa. Nor is it something I can afford to do at the frequency I need to do it! But with a few select skincare items and some spare time, I can definitely make the experience real at home! Even if I only have a face mask, I can recreate the spa mood to help me…

Welcome back, beauty lover! It’s no surprise that coronavirus and its economic impact has had a devastating effect on small businesses, so it’s never been more important to shop small natural beauty stores. Now more than ever is the time to get together by supporting small, family-run, and independent local stores! We can really make a difference to the families who own and run them. I’ve used a few small shops in my time as a blogger, so I thought it would be nice to share them with you here. With so much choice, it’s good to know the stores you can trust and who share the same ethics of natural, clean, sustainable, and ethical. I hope you’ll see that it’s easy to find thoughtful gifts with a conscience! These are stores that don’t only sell their own products, but products from several brands, offering a wider choice and some…

Welcome back, dear friend. Today I’m sharing something a little different. This post is about using natural products for COPD wellness to help my stepmother, B. She sadly suffers from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) and cancer, and is receiving end of life care. I wanted to put together a care package of wellness and skincare products to boost her health and energy levels, relieve her symptoms, and bring comfort without disrupting her medical treatment or skin care preferences. Note that I am not a medical professional, and you should always consult a doctor before introducing new supplements. About my step mother B is 72 and she and my Dad have been married for 22 years. My dad is her full time carer and receives occasional support with her care. They live in Devon, by the sea, where B can get sea air daily through the open window. Her long-term…

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. I’ve got magical and chilled out Magic Cocoa with ashwaganda and reishi mushroom from ZOJO Beauty Elixirs, soothing Humble Natural Beauty Rose & Frankincense Bath Honey, and an anti-ageing day cream from Sukin that promises to reduce wrinkles in just 14 days!
