Some inspiring and eco friendly ideas of what to do with old makeup!

Did you know that the European cosmetics industry is worth 77 billion Euros? It’s a shocking figure, but not so hard to believe if you’ve been shopping for makeup.

We spend a small fortune on makeup and cosmetic products. And, whilst many are used up completely, an even larger number of items are cast aside before they’ve been fully finished.

Rather than just throwing your old makeup away, here are some ideas of what to do with it: read more

Coconut Matter Eco Friendly Natural Deodorant Review

Coconut Matter eco natural deodorants

Hi Friends,

Today I am reviewing the Coconut Matter eco friendly natural deodorant range. I reached out to Coconut Matter after discovering them via the Ethical Influencers page. I have been on the hunt for an eco friendly natural deodorant forever!

I did a review a while back on the Pierre d’alun natural deodorant stone and have been using mine since I got back from Morocco last November. It lasted the year but I missed the nice fragrance since it has no scent. I was really keen to try out the Coconut Matter deodorants when I spotted them. read more

Hi Beauties,

Today I bring you a review of my newfound skincare products, Kleem Organics Advanced Retinol Moisturiser and Vitamin C Serum. I have been trés busy working and minding the kids so haven’t had much time to blog lately! However, my youngest started back at creche the other day and now I have a few spare moments in the morning, yay!

I am so happy to be back to my beloved blog, I have missed it! So I thought I would share my latest natural skincare finds with you. As you may know, I love retinol and although not a natural product, it is derived from vitamin A and to be honest, it seems to work miracles for me! I normally only use natural products in my beauty arsenal but retinol is a holy grail product in my eyes so I use it every night. read more

Renovating and Opening a Restaurant & Bar in France!

La montagne noire restaurant and bar france

Hi Lovelies,

Sorry I haven’t been very active on the blog recently, I have been up to my eyes working! Well I guess if you really love what you do then it doesn’t really feel like work at all. That is true in my case since renovating and opening a restaurant and bar in France! If you happen to follow my blog, you will know that we have been working hard to get our restaurant and bar ready for the summer.

So a quick recap and the low-down on our big project – welcome any new readers! We bought a restaurant and bar in sunny south of France around six months ago. My partner and I had been on the lookout for a potential business opportunity but we had no idea we were about to stumble across the opportunity of a lifetime. We already have a restaurant in France up and running for around 5 years now but it is a 50/50 partnership and that restaurant is taking off now. It took a few years to get it up to scratch but is now running well and a success. read more

Moving house, renovating our new bar and restaurant and having guests come to stay. We are opening in just over a week so it has been a tad hectic to say the least!
