Dear Cara Just like that, my baby girl is turning 2! I wrote your birth story, your 1st birthday letter, and here I am writing again as you are about to turn 2 years old. It’s my hope that you will treasure these letters when you are older. I certainly will, since it’s so easy to forget the little day to day things that bring a smile. It’s strange to think that a quarter of your life has been spent living with the threat of coronavirus looming over us, but we try to keep life as normal as we can and not scare you with talk of germs. It makes me so sad to keep you away from other children, but it would be worse to see you with coronavirus, or pass it on to your grandma. Your generation will be the best hand washers, users of sanitisers, and will…

Welcome back, my empties lover – and happy Halloween to you! It’s time for my October 2020 natural beauty empties. I love October because so many exciting things happen in nature – it is a time of shedding the old to make way for the new. My skincare too, changes with the season. I use a more deeply hydrating moisturiser, and pull out my cosiest of balms. You will find this reflected in my empties. There’s a beautiful natural deodorant – my favourite yet in fact, a deeply hydrating night cream, nourishing moringa cleansing oil, SPF20 day cream, and more. For little people, there’s fun throwable hand and face foam, and a sleepy time foot oil for bedtime relaxation. Fall in love with my October empties! October 2020 natural beauty empties Elsa’s Detox Natural Deodorant Elsa’s Detox Deodorant is their latest offering, mine came in the LoveLula June Beauty Box.…

Welcome back, beauty lover! And welcome to my September 2020 natural beauty empties. September has been a whirlwind of trying new natural beauty products and reviewing them. Somehow, I managed to find time to use up many fantastic clean beauty products, too. My favourites this month include a divine facial oil, hand therapy cream, pore refining acid wash, and anti-bac hand sanitiser. For the littles, there’s a gorgeous skin-friendly baby balm. I hope you enjoy my September empties! September 2020 natural beauty empties Antipodes Divine Face Oil This facial oil truly lives up to its name. I had it sitting on my shelf for a while after featuring it in my 2018 natural beauty stocking fillers. But once I tried it again, I couldn’t get enough! Impressively, it claims to boost the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin by up to 51%. Essential fatty acids keep skin strong while…

Welcome back, beauty lovers! I was so excited to learn about Green People’s new Nordic Roots range! And earlier this month I was lucky enough to receive a complimentary bottle of Green People Nordic Roots Hyaluronic Booster Serum to try. Clean, conscious Nordic skin care. Take pleasure from the beauty of nature with pure hard-working skin care from Nordic Roots. According to Green People, their new collection is “inspired by the Scandinavian love of purity, simplicity and functionality”, and “delivers powerful results with a simple and synergistic blend of clean, honest ingredients”. Just recently there has been a big interest in Nordic skincare. Perhaps it’s the simplicity and the minimalist attitude of Nordic countries that appeals. And there’s a certain potency to northern botanical ingredients. Enduring harsh winters means they’re extra potent. Often they’re from wild harvested from sustainable sources. Formulations are simpler and contain natural ingredients that work together…
