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

In this post, I review Lavera Basis Sensitiv Roll On Deodorant. These days, I’m able to forgo deodorant far more frequently. Despite being a healthy beauty product advocate, I try to minimise my use of personal care products as much as I can. Some days it just doesn’t matter if I’m not as fresh as a daisy. Jonah doesn’t care! However when I do wear deodorant I’m pretty picky about what goes on my pits. I’ve written previously about the aluminium in antiperspirant debate, and I still choose not to use aluminium salts on my skin. Not just because of aluminium controversy, but because I don’t want to suppress my skin’s sweating, or reduce the number of good bacteria in my underarms. I’m a big fan of Lavera Basis Sensitiv deodorants which contain no aluminium salts or alcohol. The deodorants are certified by NaTrue and are suitable for use during…

Want to know one of my desert island natural beauty products? Green People Gentle Cleanse and Makeup Remover! I’ve never found a better product at removing eye liner and mineral makeup than this. Using it is a self-care ritual that makes daily cleansing a pleasure. I have used it for many years and wouldn’t change it for another cleanser. It’s creamy, it’s comforting, and it’s expensive. But it’s totally worth it! If I’ve been wearing makeup, then I’ll double cleanse with this and the equally fantastic Green People Foaming Face Wash. If I’ve not been wearing makeup, then I’ll just use foaming face wash or water, since I only like to use the bare minimum amount of product possible. In the morning, I finish my cleansing routine with Green People Day Solution moisturiser. The cleanser removes eye makeup without irritation. It comes in a handy pump dispenser which I love, as…

Stockton-on-Tees is our home town – we live just outside of the centre of Stockton in a village called Norton. Along with Billingham, it’s one of the most northerly places in Stockton borough. This year, local people have been getting really excited because the council seeded beautiful wild flowers instead of planting rigid rows of traditional bedding flowers. And they look so beautiful! And the pollinators love them! Well done council! We thought we’d take Jonah down to one of the sites on Bypass Road in Billingham to have a look since he’s very much into flowers, trees, and running around like a small boy who’s just found his legs. Weeeeeee! We’re really happy with the photos we took. You can never have too many photos of your toddler, since they grow so quickly and change fast. We’re both camera nwerds and Jonah is the perfect subject! We’ve used a…

This post focuses on how to prevent and treat nappy rash. Does your little one suffer with nappy rash? So many babies and toddlers do. Whether it’s teething, colds, food intolerances or eczema. Sometimes it takes some sleuthing to get to the “bottom” of it. This post will help you figure out how to prevent and treat nappy rash with natural remedies, lifestyle changes, and natural nappy creams. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I started to give nappy cream some thought – maybe I would need nappy cream in my hospital bag, and at my baby’s changing area? I pondered if mainstream nappy creams would be full of junk ingredients, like a lot of mainstream baby products. Like a lot of parents to be, a Bounty newborn baby pack was thrust into my hands, with its free mini tube of Sudocrem Nappy Cream. Scanning over the ingredients (including sodium…
