Hi everyone! Sorry I have been absent from the blog the last while. I have had sooo much going on. I have moved house, started a full time French course and been up to my eyes with everything. All I can say is, I am delighted to finally get back to my beloved blog! To be honest, my PC crashed back in October and I have had the hardest time trying to organise everything. Finally!

Well it is about time that I announce the best clean beauty product winners from the Clean Beauty Awards. I have had this in the back of my mind for ages. One of the most exciting times of the year for me is when I get to be a judge for the awards. Honestly, clean beauty and eco friendly living is something I am so passionate about. That is why I set up my blog around seven years ago. To be involved in the judging of these fab natural products is a real honour. read more

Green Beauty Swaps

Hi lovelies,

Today I am writing about my green beauty swaps since making the change gradually over the space of around 6 years. As you may know, I have been on a green beauty journey since discovering natural ingredients and plant-based beauty cleared my adult acne. Even when I started this blog back then, I was still transitioning.

For example, I used to think the only way to clear my acne was to go for the strongest chemicals and newest technology in order to obtain clear skin. I tried everything from Proactiv – which bleached my pillowcases and face cloths (yikes) to Clearasil – full of harsh chemicals and overpowering smell. They just seemed to either not work or actually aggravate my skin and strip it of its natural oils. read more

Kleem organics moisturiser with retinol and vit c serum

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.
