November 2020 natural beauty empties

Hello, dear friend! And welcome to my November 2020 natural beauty empties. November has been a really busy month for me on my blog. It also feels like the month that we say goodbye to autumn, as the last of the leaves fall from the trees and the days really do get noticeably shorter. We prepare ourselves for winter! My skincare is the same, and you’ll find this in my November empties. There’s a skin-saving repair lotion, beautiful smoothing bakuchiol serum, gentle shea moisturiser that works in any routine across all seasons, plus lots more. And for children there’s gentle baby hand sanitiser, vanilla body wash, and more. Have fun with my November 2020 natural beauty empties! November 2020 natural beauty empties Odylique Repair Lotion One of my all time favourite moisturisers and my hero product this month. This beautifully scented, naturally golden moisturiser is recommended by homeopathic doctors to…

January 2020 natural beauty empties Esse Plus Probiotic Serum Have you tried probiotic skincare before? It’s recommended by many dermatologists, since our skin is dependent on the balance of good and bad microbes living on and in the skin. What’s the hype with probiotic skincare? Research has shown that probiotic skincare can protect our skin from bad…

May 2018 skincare & beauty empties

My consumption of skincare and beauty this month was considerably less than last month. Because we were on holiday last month, my empties are dominated by travel sizes! Here are my May 2018 skincare, beauty, and health empties – I really hope you enjoy reading about them! Full size skincare, beauty, and health products Disclosure: I was gifted JUN-i Face Oil by Skin Organics Beauty Box, and Monat samples by Bristol Hair @ Monat. I received Elsa’s Natural Deodorant, PHB Brightening Eye Gel, and Botanico Vida Omega Oil from LoveLula, but my opinions are honest and my own.

Four ways to choose truly natural baby care products

Many large toiletry manufacturers are jumping on the natural skincare band wagon by creating natural baby care products. But can these products really be trusted? Nobody wants to purposefully expose their child to harmful chemicals, but the truth is that many personal care products designed for babies and children still contain unhealthy ingredients. Large brands know that parents are looking for safe skincare options for their children, and they wrap a wolf in sheep’s clothing through what is known as “greenwashing”. Greenwashing is the term used to describe the duping of customers into buying something they believe is natural and healthy, when in fact they’re buying something that contains unhealthy ingredients. How can we as parents be sure that the “natural” brands we use are truly healthy? Well, a bit of detective work is all it takes. Try these four tips to help you find truly natural baby care products.…

Toddler first aid kit – the first aid & home remedy items you need

This post will help you put together a handy toddler first aid kit. Mobile babies and toddlers get in so many scrapes don’t they? Many of these ouchies are treatable at home with lots of cuddles and a few choice first aid kit items. When Jonah started to walk at 13 months, we realised we needed a first aid kit to treat his minor bumps and scrapes. We didn’t want to buy a first aid kit off the shelf, because we wanted more than just practical items like plasters, bandages, and dressings. We also wanted toddler-friendly and natural remedies that would ease common complaints and support Jonah’s body to heal itself. My husband and I aren’t very physical people, so we don’t get injured that often. And luckily, we don’t tend to get poorly much – apart from when Jonah brings the lurgies back from play group. Reflecting this, our…

How to prevent and treat nappy rash with natural nappy creams

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…
