I was really pleased to be introduced to Mill Creek Botanicals by online health and beauty store Omninatural. Founded in California in 1975, Mill Creek Botanicals offer natural beauty products with potent ingredients and outstanding results. Our customers know that they will never find parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances or any other questionable ingredients when they use Mill Creek. Over 40 years and millions of happy customers we are still defining natural beauty care with style The brand stock some really interesting shampoos and conditioners. Amongst them is their Biotene H-24 range, promising thicker and fuller hair naturally. What really caught my attention about this line is the ingredients, which include biotin and peptides to promote hair growth. I’m excited about this range because thicker, fuller hair are definite hair goals for me. My hair is naturally fine, but it’s also thinned quite a bit since my twenties.…
As an eczema and psoriasis sufferer, Balmonds skincare has been on my radar for some time. When I learned they were looking for bloggers with troubled skin to…
I was so happy to be approached by Urban Veda skincare. I’d already been introduced to a product from the brand in the LoveLula beauty box. Naturally I jumped at the chance to try a selection of this vegan, cruelty-free skincare range. Urban Veda skincare is based on the principles of Ayurveda. For the uninitiated, Ayurveda is an ancient Indian philosophy for health and wellbeing. Ayurveda defines 3 doshas, or types from which we are comprised. The types are vata, pitta, and kapha. This skincare aims to identify the characteristics and needs of your skin by these doshas. The brand was founded six years ago by Sheilesh Shah, whose father was an Ayurvedic practitioner. These roots, plus Shi’s curiosity, led him to using plants like turmeric, neem, sandalwood, and rose on the skin for the benefit of beauty and wellbeing. How exciting it must’ve been to develop a range of…

To Cara Grace Oh Cara, how amazing your first year has been! You were born at home in a complete hurry, protesting very loudly. Your birth was one of the best moments of my life. We wished for a girl and I’d convinced myself you were a boy. I checked twice when I held you in my arms for the first time! You’re confident, gregarious, sweet, loving, and smart. Your first year has flown by and I can’t believe we’re saying goodbye to your babyhood. And you’ll be our last baby too, which makes it all the more poignant. Your little life is so precious. I love that you share songs and games with us. You always look to mummy and daddy for a game of peekaboo or clap hands. You can be quite studious, and you like to examine new things in great detail. Your favourite game at the…

For the last few weeks I’ve been using a wonderful face oil that’s quite different to other face oils I’ve used until now. Introducing Beauty Sleep Elixir – Beuti Skincare’s flagship face oil. Beauty Sleep Elixir has a natural blend of 14 plant-based oils, including a Caribbean coral extract, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory as it neutralises the enzyme responsible for skin ageing, plus a sandalwood nut kernel oil to help prevent collagen and elastin break down. The Duchess of Cambridge used it during her hospital stay while having her second son (source). As most mamas know, going through labour along with a stay in hospital can certainly upset your skin. Clever Kate knows that a face oil will help her look and feel better. This is especially good for her given the scrutiny the royal receives when she steps out of hospital! PS, if you’re looking for other hospital…
