January 2019 natural beauty empties

Ready to learn about my January 2019 natural beauty empties! It’s been a year since I started to document my natural beauty empties. I still get a real buzz from finishing a product and including it here. My empties posts are such a nice way to round up the everyday things we use as a family and highlight the stars of my routine. Since the birth of my daughter in November, I’ve had less time for using natural beauty products. But in January things have been a little easier, so I’ve been able to regularly use some of my favourite products again. Hooray for looking after myself! Expect to find luxury face oil, creamy shower wash, sweet smelling baby bath oil, natural hairspray, and a well-loved pink clay konjac sponge. I hope you find it helpful.

Weleda Skin Food review

In this post read my Weleda Skin Food review. This cult beauty product has well-deserved iconic status amongst beauty editors, bloggers, and makeup artists. Around the world, one tube of Skin Food sells every 23 seconds, making it Weleda’s bestselling natural beauty product. Disclosure: this post contains references to products I’ve chosen with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. Since 1926, Weleda Skin Food has brought relief and comfort to those with dry skin, and beautified celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Julia Roberts, and Adele. I’ve been a huge Weleda fan since my early 20s, but it took me a while to try Skin Food. I’m so glad I did. Now, I always have a big tube in my bathroom. There’s a travel size tube in my nappy bag, and one in my car – I like to have some pretty much everywhere.…

December 2018 natural beauty empties

December has been a whirl of caring for my new baby and my toddler, while getting used to being a family of 4 and furiously preparing for Christmas. What a month! I’ve used a beautiful facial oil, deodorant, healthy breastfeeding snacks and teas, and a haircare sample. There’s even a makeup empty, which is rare for me! I always reuse and recycle my packaging. I hope you love my December 2018 natural beauty empties! Natural beauty products Disclosure: this post contains references to PR gifted products and products I’ve chosen with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. The Rose Tree Radiance Facial Essence This wonderful facial oil lasted me a good 10 months. It’s a fabulous radiance booster and a delight to use. I have so many other facial oils in my stash to use, but I know I’ll return to this one.…

Weleda Evening Primrose Age Revitalising Concentrate review

Becoming an official Weleda Cleaner Beauty Ambassador was a really proud moment for me, since I’ve long sung the brand’s praises. As part of my role, I was delighted to be offered the chance to try Weleda Evening Primrose Age Revitalising Concentrate. Disclosure: PR gifted product. My views are honest and my own. The serum has been on my radar for some time. I love oil-free serums, especially in my nighttime skincare routine. It’s part of the Weleda Evening Primrose range for mature skin, based on Weleda’s ‘Lead Plant Philosophy’- a range of super-nutritional regimes to support skin at different life stages. Weleda describe the serum as a highly-effective skin-firming treatment to revitalise mature skin. Weleda note that as we age, our skin loses its elasticity and bounce. The serum aims to counteract this by energising cell renewal, strengthening the skin, and boosting its radiance. This fragrant serum is perfect for…

November 2018 natural beauty empties

November, wow! This month has been all about my darling baby Cara Grace who was born this month. There are only 4 items in my empties this month, for obvious reasons. With a 2 week old baby plus a toddler to care for, my routine has been stripped right down to the very basics. Natural beauty brand Weleda appears in my empties every month without fail, and this month I used another small tube of Weleda Skin Food. I also used up eye gel, shampoo, and maternity pads. Where possible I’ve recycled my packaging. Enjoy my November 2018 natural beauty empties!

Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant review

Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant is a wonderfully refreshing and effective natural deodorant that is free from aluminium salts and won’t clog pores. I love it so much that it’s appeared twice in my empties posts in the last year! Disclosure: I chose Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. My favourite natural deodorant is Elsa’s Organics Deodorant, but this is my very close second favourite. I love it for different reasons – it has qualities that Elsa’s doesn’t. Even though Elsa’s is effective, I can’t wear it after shaving, as it irritates my skin. This is where Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant really shines – I can wear it right after shaving without any discomfort at all. As well as being no-stain, easy to apply, and fast to dry, it smells absolutely gorgeous. Perfect for autumn and winter. Weleda describes the fragrance as…

October 2018 Natural Beauty Empties

October, how excited I am to see the end of you! This is a particularly poignant empties post for me, as it will be the last before our new baby is born. Expect to find some quite everyday items this month, like natural deodorant, cleansing milk, and oil-free night serum, along with Jonah’s empties – bubble bath, toothpaste, and nappy cream. Naturally, I’ve recycled and reused my packaging. I hope you like my October 2018 natural beauty empties! Full-size natural beauty products Disclosure: this post contains references to PR gifted products and products I’ve chosen with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant I keep meaning to review Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant – twice it’s appeared in my empties before I’ve even had chance to review it. This is a really effective and refreshing deodorant. It smells gorgeous, dries quickly, and…

Postpartum Essentials & Hospital Bag

Welcome back, my friend! Wondering what’s essential in the postpartum period? Take the guesswork out of your post-pregnancy planning – here are the postpartum essentials you’ll want to stash at home and pack in your hospital bag in the UK. As an experienced mum of four children, I love sharing what worked for me postnatally. I took so much needless stuff to hospital with my first child – I wish I knew then, what I know now! The postpartum period is such a beautiful and special time. But it can be overwhelming, too – especially as a first time mum. After all, not only have you just given birth – whether vaginally or via c-section, you’re experiencing huge physical changes too. A drop in hormones often leads to mood swings – baby blues are a real thing! And not to mention – you now have a brand new little one…

Labour essentials for all stages of labour

Welcome back my friend! In this post, I’m sharing the labour essentials that have got me through four unmedicated Hypnobirth labours. I first shared this post while expecting my second baby in 2018. We’ve welcomed two more babies since then, so I’ve had plenty of trial and error finding out what products are worth your money, and which are not. These are the items you’ll use to make your Hypnobirth labour easier and more comfortable! A useful tip: I take my labour essentials with me separately so I can access everything easily without it getting mixed into my other postpartum and hospital bag items. Having these items in an easy to access pack makes me feel so well-prepared in my final weeks. I hope you enjoy reading about them! Labour essentials checklist Here’s the list of essentials: Birth preferences and notes Undoubtedly the most important part of your labour essentials!…
