Best Clean Beauty Product Winners

January 29, 2022 No Comments

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

July 3, 2021 No Comments

Hi Lovelies,

It is summertime here in the south of France and it is getting hotter by the day. Luckily for me, I got some lovely sunscreen moisturizer and sun damage repair goodies to review. Just in time! Thanks to the lovely Robin, founder of SunLux for providing me with these wonderful products. So without further ado, here is my SunLux high antioxidant skincare review.

I received my box of goodies over a month ago and have been using them daily in order to give an honest review. I got a full size Lux Sunscreen daily moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF 25, a full size Red Tea Antioxidant Serum (comes in a lovely gift box), a full size lip balm (vitamin c antioxidant) and sample-size cute jars of the Tahitian Vacation Lux Body Butter, Dead Sea Soak, Garden Flowers whipped body mousse and little oil droppers of the Geisha Glow and UV Repair. read more

How I Gave up Alcohol & Tips to Quit or Cut Down

holding hands on a path - symbolising giving up alcohol as a journey

Hello Friends,

I gave up drinking over a month ago so I thought I should post a blog post on how I gave up alcohol and tips to quit or cut down. I genuinely feel way better in myself and my life has changed so positively since kicking the drink.

Giving up alcohol was a huge step for me. I have thought about it so many times over the years, too many to remember. Growing up in Ireland, the drinking culture was a big part of life. It seemed as though, once I was old enough to buy alcohol, it was a huge victory. I was somehow led to believe that alcohol was the be all and end all of life! read more

Hello lovelies,

Sleep is extremely important for our health and wellness so I have put together my best 15 tips on how to sleep better at night naturally.
