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

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…

It’s not often I splurge on makeup, but when I do you can be sure it’s on something good! I see you, Hurraw Aura Accent Balms! These cute and versatile accent balms add a hint of illumination, colour, and shimmer wherever you please. They’re based on coconut and aren’t at all greasy or sticky. In fact, I love their silky, feather-light feel on my lips, cheeks, and eyes. Hurraw Aura Accent Balms + swatches All Hurraw Aura Balms are organic, vegan, and raw – you’ll find no beeswax or cochineal here. All packaging is sustainable and recyclable. Hurraw indeed for guilt-free glass jars with tin lids! They’re so shimmery and a lot of fun, so let’s dive in to looking at these accent balms. I tried two from the range, but there are 6 shades in total – Crimson, Copper, Pearl, Silver, Gold, and Bronze. Hurraw Crimson Aura Accent Balm…

Do you battle to keep your kids clean? Although I love my kids to get mucky (not as much as they like to get mucky, I might add), whether it’s outdoors in the mud or being tactile with food (baby led weaning, anyone?) we do appreciate a good clean up afterwards. So I was pleased to hear from kids’ bath-time brand Scrubbingtons, who wondered if I’d like to try their Hand & Face Foam. This post is a paid partnership with Scrubbingtons. My views are honest and my own. Turn your bath dodgers and shower swervers into grime fighters with our foam-tastic washing products for real kids. Scrubbingtons products contain naturally-derived ingredients, are suitable for sensitive skin, vegan, and cruelty free. Mums Karen and Emma created the brand after spotting a huge gap in the market between baby skincare and adult skincare. Especially for kids who like to get mucky!…

This month I chose some lovely late summer beauty from online natural beauty stores. I’m so pleased with myself for sticking to sustainable skincare and makeup through July and August. This is me going forwards! And my August picks really reflect the season. I’ve got a gorgeous warm refillable “Chamomile” eyeshadow palette from Ere Perez to take me into autumn, sumptuous EarthKind shampoo bar, affordable liquid lipstick from Benecos, and – I finally did it – I bought a lip balm with SPF from Hurraw to add to my huge stash of lip balms. Got to catch them all! Scroll to the bottom to see my final look using the Ere Perez Chamomile eyeshadow and Benecos lipstick. Enjoy my August natural beauty picks!
