Jojoba oil is a fantastic natural moisturiser and skin balancer. I began using Jojoba oil for clear and balanced skin last year. It is a definite favourite of mine. That is why I have decided to dedicate a whole blog post to it!

Jojoba has been around for centuries and stood the test of time. I can strongly recommend Jojoba oil for clear and balanced skin. I have been using it for a while now and my skin feels soft, balanced and moisturised without feeling oily or greasy. read more

20 Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Uses for Health and Wellness

January 10, 2018 16 Comments

Apple cider vinegar, known as ACV for short, has a huge amount of uses for health and wellness. It has antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties. It is mainly squeezed apple juice, but by adding yeast to it, the fruit turns to sugar and then alcohol through fermentation. In the second fermentation process, the alcohol is converted into vinegar by acetic acid-forming bacteria (acetobacter).

It contains polyphenols which are antioxidants that reduce cell damage. It contains malic and lactic acid which are beneficial to the skin. read more

Coconut Milk Shampoo

May 10, 2017 6 Comments

I have recently had a baby and so my days of hair straightening and styling are out the window. I have a naturally curly, messy and unruly mane. Most people have never seen me with my hair curly since i have been heat straightening it with a hairdryer and tongs for about the last 15 years! I can’t believe i ever had so much time on my hands to maintain it for so long. My high maintenance hair days are long gone now haha. I would never find the time with 2 babies under 3 so i have started my quest to find really nourishing haircare in the hope it will repair the years of damage to my once silky curls. I had been saving all the healthy hair tips i can get my hands on for the last year or so believe it or not! I knew this was coming since who really has time to straighten hair with 2 babies? So my hair has basically been a frizzy and unkempt mess for the last while. Arrgghhhhh!!! read more

DIY Eyelash Growth Serum that Works

April 13, 2017 No Comments

Who doesn't want longer and fuller healthier lashes? So many lotions and potions available online that promise that, but do they really deliver? I've been doing a good bit of research into it since i was really into the fake eyelash extensions and the look they gave my eyes. They really seemed to open up the eyes and give that wow factor, but the real problem was the maintenance.

Shampoo and Conditioner Review Schwartzkopf Gliss

April 13, 2017 No Comments

This is my first ever proper review. I had to write about these hair products as they have had an astonishing effect on my hair. I bought the shampoo to try since it had liquid keratin and protein in it. I love keratin products and i have been told my hair lacked protein once. I had an analysis done by an award winning stylist in New Zealand where she tested a few strands of my broken hair from the ends. It was so dry and brittle and was lacking volume. It was limp and lifeless. However, she applied an amazing protein shampoo and after one wash it was instantly full of volume and felt much stronger. After that i committed to using protein shampoo permanently.
