Welcome to Natural Beauty with Baby - Healthy Ways to Feel Good with Littles!

Welcome, lover of empties. And thanks for taking a look at my November 2021 natural beauty empties! In November, I used far fewer skincare products than usual since we’ve been settling into life with little Lydia. Caring for a newborn is a full time job, but I’ve luckily found a little time for skincare and makeup. This month you’ll find a calming facial oil, hydrating serum, chakra balancing salt soap, and more. The box is practically empty compared with previous months! Shall we take a look? November 2021 natural beauty empties Native Essentials Azur Calming Light Oil I used this gorgeous calming oil for a month or so towards the end of my pregnancy with Lydia. On the morning of my labour, I was so happy to use Azur and appreciate it to its fullest. It’s so calming and soothing, with nourishing oils of cacay, plum, argan, and watermelon. The…

Welcome back, my friend! I’ve finally found time to write Lydia Evelyn’s birth story! She’s such a treasure, our whole family is in love with her! I wrote Jonah’s birth story and Cara’s birth story too – I don’t want to forget the amazing and life changing experience of giving birth. Each of my three children’s births was so special and amazing in different ways. I truly hope you enjoy reading Lydia’s birth story! Lydia Evelyn’s birth story begins a week before her birth At 38+5 weeks pregnant, I’d been feeling her move a little less than usual. Concerned, I called the maternity day unit at our local hospital to assess her movements and heartbeat. The hospital took us in and monitored Lydia. Reassuringly, she went through the monitoring just fine. Her CTG and growth scan were both perfect, and comfortingly her movements returned to normal over the several hours…

Welcome back, my lovely friend! Today’s share is one very close to my heart – it’s the beautiful plant-based fragrance especially for mothers – it’s Nurture by Abel Odor! I’m so excited to share it with you, because this 100% natural fragrance makes the perfect choice for all mothers, and especially expecting ladies and mothers of young babies and children. Soft, cocooning, grounding, nurturing ~ like a hug from my own mum and the thoughts of the love between me and my little one. As a pregnant lady (38 weeks and counting!), the last thing I want is a heavy fragrance. This is also true while breastfeeding. Nurture is everything I could want from a fragrance. It’s light, yet it has longevity. Nurture is a fragrance that sits very comfortably without overloading my senses or overpowering my ability to take in other scents in my environment – such as my…

Hello again, lover of empties! And welcome to my August 2021 natural beauty empties. August has been a quiet month for blogging as I wind down towards the end of my pregnancy with our third child. But I still have a ton of empties for you, as my skin needs extra care during pregnancy. In August I used up a sumptuous night cream for hands, kombucha power toner, and a eucalyptus body wash. Plus a £155 facial serum – is it worth it? And for the littles, body wash and hand sanitiser foam. Shall we take a look at them all in more detail now? Let’s do it! August 2021 natural beauty empties Kiss The Moon Love Night Cream for Hands Without a doubt, Kiss The Moon Love Night Cream for Hands is a holy grail product for me. It’s so silky and fragrant and perfect to use just before…
