Pierre d’alun 100% Natural Deodorant Stone – Amazing!

November 29, 2018 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Finally I have found what I have been searching for all along, the Pierre d’alun 100% natural deodorant stone. It is nothing short of amazing! I have been trying to find a good quality natural deodorant for a while now and had been fairly unsuccessful so far. I have tried a few natural brands and wasn’t overly impressed by the results. I seemed to be re-applying them during the day or just discontinuing use. I was reluctant to fork out more money in the hope of finding a good one but I really don’t like the chemicals in the non-natural kind so I was apprehensive. read more

How Meditation Music Calms My Kids & I

November 7, 2018 No Comments

Hi Lovelies,

Hope you are well. Today I am sharing a breakthrough about how meditation music calms my kids and I daily. I discovered the amazing benefits of listening to meditation style music and the calming effect it has on my kids by chance one day. I had been stressed out and feeling frazzled towards the end of the summer holidays from school. After 2 months of constant demands, tantrums and whingeing I literally couldn’t get a break.

The thing is, living remotely I don’t have a babysitter and my partner works long hours so I was feeling pretty frustrated and generally worn out. I was practically counting down the days until my 3 year old went back to play school and my 18 month old was starting in the creche. Sounds bad but also relatable to some, in the same situation. Just having some quiet time was practically impossible since my ‘threenager’ decided she didn’t want to do afternoon naps or even go to bed at a reasonable hour at night. read more

This is quite easy to make and the results are wonderful. Rose water toner and makeup remover is all natural, works wonders for your skin and clears pores. If you have skipped toner in the past, this is one worth trying. I tried so many different toners over the years before discovering rose water toner and none of them seemed to work. This rose water toner and makeup remover is suitable for all skin types. read more

Hi Everyone!

I have been trying out some new natural products such as DIY flaxseed gel and aloe vera for my curly hair recently. I have read so many rave reviews online about the DIY flaxseed gel from lots of curly hair blogs and on Pinterest so I decided to try it out for myself. I had some flaxseeds in the cupboard as I eat them with my cereal in the mornings often. You can buy them in most health food shops. It is a simple process but it is quite messy and takes a bit of time.

Aloe vera is a fantastic product to have in your beauty regime. I wrote an extensive post on the benefits here. Although I regularly use aloe vera gel on my skin, I had never used it in my hair until now. Considering I recently discovered that gel works really well in taming my unruly curls, I decided to give it a go. Firstly though, I will show you how the flax seed gel is made and what my verdict on that was. Here goes… read more

The Cruelty Free Beauty Box – October Edition

October 18, 2018 8 Comments

Hi Lovelies,

Back again with another review of my fave beauty box, The Cruelty Free Beauty Box – October Edition. You may have read my previous review on it here. I really love their selection and you can actually go on and purchase the individual products through their store so if you love something in the box, you can easily repurchase online. I especially love their ethics, being cruelty free and most of all, taking the hassle out of researching those individual cosmetic companies and their policies makes shopping a whole lot easier. read more
