NK Naturals Winter Collection – seasonal specific skincare

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today, I’m so excited to introduce the amazing NK Naturals Winter collection. This is seasonal specific skincare at its finest! 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. But my dear little brother gifted me these skincare treats for my birthday – and they’re so good I can’t resist sharing them! It was love at first sight when I first spotted the brand through Emma @ BeautyFolio. If you love natural skincare, go and take a look at her Instagram shares – she introduces some amazing and caring brands. NK Naturals is one such brand – they offer 4 collections, one for each season – Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Just as the best chefs use seasonal ingredients, each collection…

Martina Gebhardt – a soulful at-home spa day

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…

Shop small natural beauty stores at Christmas

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…

A COPD wellness & care package

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…

Plastic free wellbeing and beauty

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!

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…

Blooming Blends Be Sexy tincture

Welcome back, beauty lovers! Today I’m sharing something a little bit different. Let’s talk about herbal tinctures from a wonderful brand who really care about improving your wellbeing. Hello, Blooming Blends! Created by Fleur Sladen, a former cook with a passion for botanicals, after she struggled to find readily available natural boosters. Hand-blended in small batches using traditional methods, we have channelled nature’s magic with a sprinkling of plant power, to create everyday formulas blended for busy modern life. Blooming Blends When I first saw my friends sharing Blooming Blends tinctures on Instagram, I was curious! The blends look enticing, and the specific concerns they address are things I could use help with. Many of us can relate to issues surrounding sleep, libido, fatigue, stress, digestion, and happiness. So when I was contacted on behalf of the brand I was super excited to try one of the blends. I went…

Neroli skin care: 8 blogger favourites

Do you love neroli skin care products? Me too! Neroli is uplifting, romantic and calming. Perfect for post lockdown emotional support. And so many natural beauty bloggers love neroli skin care too! One of my favourite memories as a young girl was sitting under my mum’s mock orange tree in the garden, listening to the bees buzzing around the fragrant blooms. When mock orange (aka “Philadelphus Virginalis”) is about to blossom, my thoughts turn to neroli (aka Bitter Orange, “Citrus Aurantium”). My favourite way to enjoy the benefits of neroli is in skin care. My favourite place to shop them? LoveLula of course! So this post is all about neroli – what it is, neroli skin care benefits, and my roundup of blogger neroli skin care favourites. What is neroli in skincare? Neroli in beauty care is created by adding neroli essential oil or hydrosol to skin and hair care…
