Pregnancy natural beauty tips

Looking for the most natural beauty and skincare while you’re expecting? While there’s no evidence that everyday beauty and skincare products cause harm to unborn babies, many women choose to avoid certain ingredients during pregnancy. When we hear about some ingredients having detrimental effects, why wouldn’t we want to avoid them? Pregnancy is a life changing […]

THE ENGLISH MINERAL MAKEUP COMPANY 🌿 Hello agai THE ENGLISH MINERAL MAKEUP COMPANY 🌿 Hello again, my friend! We're moving house in two weeks! We're beyond excited, but also terrified. We've amassed a lot of stuff over 13 years in this house. So it's time to downsize, streamline, and move forwards. Wish us luck! Ad. Over on my blog today, I’m delighted to share a makeup lover’s dream – it’s The English Mineral Makeup Company @english_mineral_makeup! You can expect 100% natural, vegan, and pure mineral formulas that enhance your natural beauty and add a touch of English elegance to your makeup collection! Swipe to see the individual products and my finished look. Thank you so much to Jeanette for the excellent matching service and for the wonderful makeup: 🌿 Classic Foundation - a beautiful clean loose mineral foundation offering outstanding coverage. I'm very happy with this mineral makeup and its beautiful packaging. My skin is naturally enhanced, and the coverage blurs out my imperfections. I feel beautiful! 🌿 Mirror Mirror Eye Magic - a dreamy under-eye illuminator that cleverly conceals dark circles and puffy under-eyes. I love how the gold colour balances out purple and blue tones under my eye, and the light reflecting particles appear to flatten out the puffy bulges under my eyes (thanks, baby Lydia!). Come and find out more about this beautiful brand and their products, over on my blog. Link in bio. Do you use mineral makeup?
TEA & TONIC GENTLE SOLITUDE FACE OIL 🌿 Ad. Hell TEA & TONIC GENTLE SOLITUDE FACE OIL 🌿 Ad. Hello again! How's your week been? It's almost Friday! And today I’m so excited to share the wonderful Tea & Tonic @teaandtonicapothecary Gentle Solitude Face Oil! Blog post is at my link in bio. 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. And those with eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis would also find it incredibly useful, thanks to its soothing and anti-inflammatory qualities.  With a looming house move, the last thing on my mind is adding to my face oils collection - but Gentle Solitude has me totally wowed. 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. Come and find out all the details, plus my thoughts on the teas - over on my blog. Or see @teaandtonicapothecary or teaandtonic.co.uk. Have you tried adaptogenic herbs before?

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?

JAN & FEB EMPTIES! 🌿 Spring is almost here, and JAN & FEB EMPTIES! 🌿 Spring is almost here, and the end of the month means empties time! The end of February is always filled with optimism for brighter and warmer days to come. It’s so good to see Spring appearing, including the arrival of beautiful snowdrops. And, although it is said not to bring the first snowdrops indoors as they can bring bad luck, I did it anyway. Aren’t they dainty? Swipe to see. Some highlights: 🌿 The brightening Ascend @ascendelevatedskincare Caffeine + CBD Brightening Oil Serum shown here. 🌿 Glorious rose water from Terre Verdi @terreverdi. 🌿 Brightening facial mask from Luneia @luneia. 🌿 Beauty Cleanse Skincare @beautycleanseskincare Deep Cleansing Oil. 🌿 Poppy's @poppysnaturalskincare Body Butter, and more!

SAKRID BEAUTY 🌿 Ad. Today over on my blog, I'm SAKRID BEAUTY 🌿 Ad. Today over on my blog, I'm talking about a beauty brand close to my heart – it’s the wonderful Sakrid @wearesakrid Beauty! Sakrid brings us clean and conscious skincare and haircare that’s organic, vegan, and sustainable. The founder of Sakrid, Natalie Elliott, is a true inspiration to women and mums. Not only is she the founder of the clean beauty line, she also talks weekly on her radio show, The Natural Beauty Show @thenaturalbeautyshow. Back in December I was honoured to talk about safe baby skincare on Natalie’s radio show. Now I'm sharing my views on Sakrid Beauty - including the Face Wash, Facial Serum, and Facial Moisturiser. I also tried the Organic Body Wash, Shampoo, and Conditioner. Let me give you some highlights of the reviews. Among my favourites are the: 🌿 Facial Moisturiser - it moisturises my skin beautifully, leaving a matte but glowing finish. My skin is thanking me for the benefits of willow bark, pomegranate seed oil, avocado oil, and vitamin C. There’s a tightening effect with this moisturiser also, which is fabulous for my mature skin and perfect for daytime use. Texture shown, swipe to see. 🌿 Clean + Calm Organic Shampoo - a new favourite of mine. My winter scalp is really appreciating the comfort of its lavish oat milk and aloe vera ingredients. Although my scalp and hair tend towards dryness, many shampoos for dry hair leave me with greasy roots on day two. Not this shampoo! So it’s great for a mum who has little time. Sakrid Beauty fulfils every need when I look for clean skin, hair, and body care. I love Natalie’s approach to family first beauty products – she is truly a woman of the same heart. Have you tried Sakrid before? What do you think?
LYDIA AT 4 MONTHS 🌿 This little lovely is filli LYDIA AT 4 MONTHS 🌿 This little lovely is filling our hearts with joy daily. I keep meaning to post an update on how she's doing - and she's doing great! We're currently going through Leap 4, which is the leap of events. If you haven't got the Wonder Weeks app you should definitely take a look. It explains how a baby develops and it's super fascinating! With new skills come new challenges, and she's currently waking more at night to feed. They call it the 4 month sleep regression, but I believe it's actually a progression. We bed share and I'm always there for her with boob or a cuddle, just as I was with my other two. I swear being a mum to a baby at 42 is easier since I can get by on less sleep. 💤 Unfortunately, she's our only baby to suffer with eczema, and we're trying all we can to keep it at bay. We're using only the gentlest products and keeping up with regular emollient applications. In fact, Lydia has inspired me to write articles about general baby skincare and routine. A work in progress! 💛 How's your week been? Are you excited for the half term? I actually have activities lined up with my kids next week rather than winging it. 😂 #organisedmum
TALKING POPPY PLAYTIME 🌿 Hello again, my dear f TALKING POPPY PLAYTIME 🌿 Hello again, my dear friend! My share today is a little different. Do your kids like the computer game Poppy Playtime and its character Huggy Wuggy? The plush blue monster is the latest craze amongst young kids. My Jonah loves it! But at first I couldn’t imagine why my kids would want a scary monster for a toy! And then I had a think and read around the psychology behind monsters, fear, and suspense. Heads up: many kids love fear just as much as we adults do. It helps them to process their world. But as a parent, should you be worried about the horror content of Poppy Playtime? All your questions and more are answered - over on my blog. Link in bio. Do your kids like to play scary games or enjoy playing monsters?
