Welcome back, dear friend! Have you tried Nordic skincare before? Today I’m sharing a few of the winners of the exciting Nordic Natural Beauty Awards! I know you’re going to want to find out more! The yearly awards showcase the finest beauty products from Nordic and Scandinavian countries such as Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The 50-strong judging panel comprises renowned Nordic stars from music, cinema, and fashion. I’ve had the pleasure of following along with the awards on Twitter and Instagram. The winners were announced on October 28th. I was totally bowled over to hear from the founders of the award and invited to try some fabulous Nordic skincare! So, why is there so much love for Nordic skincare? Let me explain. Nordic skincare is truly inspired by nature and often contains locally sourced ingredients you cannot find elsewhere – think extracts from marine algae, nourishing tree sap,…

Welcome back my friend. Cara is 3, and I hope you enjoy my letter to her on her third birthday. Dear Cara My sweet Little Miss Cara, how has it been only 3 years since you came into our lives? It’s gone by in a flash! You are strong, feisty, determined – you love strongly and give your absolute all to everything that you try. In the last year, we’ve seen your personality grow and your likes and dislikes become very clear. Of our 3 children, you’re definitely the strongest and most vocal! Each year I write to you with a recap of your year – the big things, and the little things too. I hope you’ll look back on my letters and smile. Maybe you’ll remember some of the things I write about now you are almost 3? Cara the brave As an introvert mum, sometimes your behaviour challenges…

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m so excited to share with you my thoughts on the Norfolk based skincare brand Nudge Boutique! I’ve been a long time admirer of this hand-crafted vegan skincare since first encountering the brand over on Instagram. Founded by mother and grandmother Jo, Nudge Boutique brings us beautiful formulations that use plant-power to “nudge back” the gloss and glow, and nudge us into making great choices for the environment. Jo’s skincare formulating journey shows a true love for plant ingredients and a passion for promoting women’s skin health and well being. I [also] felt an increased sense of well being from using nature’s ingredients, and at that time, I never knew how important a role this would play in my life. Recognising that skin and haircare needs change as we move into our forties and beyond, Nudge products help us transition our routine into one of balance and hydration. One…

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today’s post is all about a pregnancy skincare discovery I’m super excited to share – it’s Natalia pregnancy skincare! Now, at the beginning of September, I’m almost eight months pregnant – woohoo! And, as all mamas can attest, the third trimester of pregnancy is a seriously tiring time. Yet, it’s also extremely exciting! Everything feels a bit more real – and with labour looming and pregnancy niggles amplified, it’s nice to find products that can help ease those pregnancy discomforts and prepare me for labour. I first came across Natalia when I was pregnant with Cara in 2018. I bought their lovely labour massage oil intending to use it at hospital. Helping you connect positively with your changing body through positive touch, whilst caring for and nourishing your skin, and at the same time supporting you physically and emotionally with uplifting aromatherapy. Unfortunately, everything went so…
