JONAH IS 6! 🌿 Hello again, my dear! Have you ha JONAH IS 6! 🌿 Hello again, my dear! Have you had a good week? I've been offline a bit, since this week my eldest son, Jonah, turned 6 years old. Every year, around the time of his birthday, I write a letter to him. I talk all about Jonah at 6 years old – his loves, likes, and what he spends his time doing. Of course, I share the proud mummy milestones too. Swipe to see some of my favourite snaps from the past year. Six year old children are so inquisitive! Jonah wants the answers to everything, and he asks lots of questions about the world around us. It's so humbling and rekindles my interest in the world, too. I definitely learn something new! Come and read my birthday letter to Jonah, over on my blog. Link in bio. How do you celebrate birthdays in your family?
INLIGHT BEAUTY FOR MAMA & BABY 🌿 Don't you just INLIGHT BEAUTY FOR MAMA & BABY 🌿 Don't you just love brands who care for mothers and the little ones they care for, too? I know I do! And today I'm revisiting a favourite brand of mine, and once again shining the spotlight on the superlative InLight Beauty @inlight_beauty! Lydia and I have been enjoying a duo from the brand that work so perfectly for mother and baby. 👩 Under Eye Revive brings vitality to my tired under eyes. This balm is so soft and doesn’t drag at all. Its moisturising qualities leave my under eye area looking so much better. Luminous, in fact. With radiance boosting camu camu, purifying gotu kola, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory green tea, and anti-ageing brightening green coffee. It certainly lives up to its claims to decongest, reduce puffiness, and brighten the under eye area. 👶 Baby Bath Oil soothes and calms my baby before bed, or when cranky from teething. A combination of gently moisturising oils such as avocado, rosehip and evening primrose, blended with lavender and chamomile to soothe and calm my baby. Both Lydia and Cara love this bath oil. It's so sweet and caring and their skin is soft and well moisturised for using it. Come and find out even more over on my blog. Link in bio. Or hop straight over to @inlight_beauty or inlightbeauty.co.uk. Have you tried InLight Beauty yet?
RAVEN BOTANICALS 🌿 Well, all of a sudden we're RAVEN BOTANICALS 🌿 Well, all of a sudden we're settled into our new home! I need to write a separate post on how magical it is. But today, I'm sharing something that's also magical. Ad. It's the sublime Raven Botanicals @ravenbotanicals! ✨ Based in Scotland, and making the most of local Scottish ingredients, Raven Botanicals bring us luxurious natural skincare products formulated with a nod to the wisdom of ages. Think handmade, plant based, and cruelty free skincare including cleansers, masks, serums, and oils. I was delighted when the brand sent me samples of their Bathing Oil Trio and Green Goddess Balancing Face Mask to try. They also included a mask brush too - it is a thing of great beauty and a pleasure to use as it hugs every contour of the face making application a breeze. It goes without saying that using the bath oils and mask during the first week in our new home was both rejuvenating and relaxing!  Learn more about these products at my link in bio.

THE ROSE TREE GIVEAWAY HAUL 🌿 How are you doing THE ROSE TREE GIVEAWAY HAUL 🌿 How are you doing? It's all hands on deck in our house as we move next week! But I've made time to share the details on some gorgeous goodies I won in a giveaway with the amazing, the sublime, The Rose Tree @therosetree! Find the link to this blog post in my bio.  With my voucher, I chose: 🌿 The Rose Tree Luxury Aromatherapy Candle in Rose Tree No. 5 – Peace Inspired by springtime Britain, the aromatherapy candle combines uplifting citrus with calming lavender and fresh rosemary. From the moment I opened its luxury box and experienced the calming fragrance for the first time, it was true love! The candle burns so well and hasn’t tunnelled. The scent throw is great, and the fact it is only scented with essential oils – all the better. It certainly creates an air of serenity whenever it is burned. 🌿 Deep Nourish Facial Essence with Rose & Blackcurrant The award winning oil promises lightweight moisture, gentle nourishment, brightening, and a beautiful glow. It contains a gorgeous blend of blackcurrant, cranberry, pomegranate, baobab and argan oils and has a rich, silky feel. Applying it to my skin AM or PM, my skin instantly feels cushioned and plumper. My fine lines are blurred, and my skin feels so well moisturised for it. 🌿 Tahiti Tiare Cocoa Lip Butter This cute pot promises to nourish and repair lips with its perfect blend of cocoa butter, Monoi de Tahiti, and protective beeswax. There’s something so comforting about this lip butter. My lips feel silky and well cared for. I'm so happy with my little haul. My huge thanks go to Olga for this pleasure. She truly has the wellness of busy women in her heart. So do go and take a look at therosetree.co.uk or @therosetree.  PS the book in the shot is Quiet by Susan Cain. Have you read it? Have you tried The Rose Tree?

Tea & Tonic match skincare and teas for your brightest skin and self. Using local herbs plus adaptogenic super-herbs, the brand wants to help us reduce stress to live a better life while improving the health of our skin.  Gentle Solitude is a beautifully rich fragrance-free face oil - a tonic for soothed, smooth, and supple skin. It might be the oil for you if you have dry, sensitive, mature, or stressed skin.

Ingredients include: 🌿 Borage ~ anti-inflammatory to improve the health of the skin barrier. 🌿 Crambe ~ revered for its silicone-like feel and high omega 9 content.  🌿 Brahmi ~ soothes and calms inflammatory skin conditions, treats acne and hyperpigmentation.  🌿 Centella Asiatica ~ antioxidant, soothing; improves hydration.  🌿 Panax Ginseng ~ a natural balancer for all skin types.

HAIR GAIN GUMMIES FOR POSTPARTUM HAIR LOSS 🌿 Ha HAIR GAIN GUMMIES FOR POSTPARTUM HAIR LOSS 🌿 Happy Monday, my dear! Have your little ones returned to school today? It's certainly quieter in the Little household this morning! Today over on my blog, I’m sharing my review of Hair Gain @hairgainnow Gummies! See my link in bio. Do you suffer from postpartum hair loss? After each of my pregnancies, my hair shed by the bucket-load! And after my third pregnancy I took positive action to slow my hair loss and stimulate new growth by finding a science-backed supplement suitable for breastfeeding mums. These tasty chews promise to support the growth of normal hair while contributing essential vitamins and minerals, such as biotin, selenium, and zinc.  In fact, clinical studies undertaken by the brand show a 78% increase in hair growth and an 86% overall improvement in hair.  I've been munching these tasty vegan gummies for almost 3 months now. So come and learn all the details, including my progress photos, and what I think to the gummies - over on my blog. Link in bio. Hint: my postpartum hair is lengthening and thickening up beautifully! What a delicious way to keep my hair as healthy as possible and regrow some of the hair lost in my postpartum period. Have you ever suffered hair loss? How did you slow it down?
TAM MASON NOURISHING HAND OIL 🌿 Ad. Happy Frida TAM MASON NOURISHING HAND OIL 🌿 Ad. Happy Friday my lovely! We're having a gorgeous family afternoon today, but before I go off hunting eggs with my little ones, I have a small but mighty share for you. It’s the delectable Tam Mason @tammasonscrubs Nourishing Hand Oil! Have you ever used hand oil before? I afford my hands pretty much the same care as my face. Serums, moisturisers, oils, and SPF – my hands are up for it all. After all, our hands show signs of ageing very quickly and take a lot of daily assaults from external aggressors. Tam Mason takes hand care to another level with her beautifully scented and cleverly formulated natural skin care. Her new product – this gorgeous hand oil with shea butter oil, oat oil, verbena, black pepper, and lavender essential oils, beautifully complements her existing range. It softens the hands and conditions the skin while improving the nails. I love how Tam Mason Hand Oil boosts my hand care routine and my hands and nails look great for it! The fragrance lingers daintily on my hands, which brings me a little joy in my day. I'm so grateful to Tam for sharing this fabulously caring oil with me. It's beautiful in every way and makes me feel so good about my hands. Who wouldn't love that? See my link in bio or head to @tammasonscrubs or tammason.co.uk to learn more. Have you tried this hand oil? Do you use oil on your hands?
EVEREDEN BABY 🌿 Hello again, my dear. And a hap EVEREDEN BABY 🌿 Hello again, my dear. And a happy Friday to you! Today I'm sharing the precious Evereden @everedenbrand baby products. I'm in love with these products and the brand's wonderful philosophy on "no such thing as too safe" baby skincare. Reassuringly founded by doctors who are also mothers, this New York line has won my heart with its carefully formulated family-focused products for mama, baby, and older kids too. Along with a list of banned controversial ingredients, Evereden focuses on the goodness of plant based skincare with ingredients like sunflower seed oil, vitamin C rich kakadu plum, oat amino acids, and soothing coconut milk. I'm currently using the: 🌿 Soothing Baby Massage Oil - a five ingredient oil to soothe and nourish baby's skin through the magic of touch. 🌿 Foaming Baby Shampoo & Wash - fun, soft, airy - with a naturally-derived oat amino acid surfactant to clean without tears. 🌿 All-in-One Balm - a beautiful protective and healing multipurpose balm for mother and baby with only five ingredients. Wave goodbye to that Vaseline for good! 🌿 Soothing Diaper Cream - a waterless barrier cream that's a little hard to get out, but works wonders. Everden is available via Cult Beauty UK - check my link in bio to view the range and read my full and honest reviews. What's your favourite way to take care of your baby's skin?
