Are you looking to try before you buy some new natural beauty products? Why not build your own beauty box by the Cruelty Free Beauty Box? It is a really reasonably priced beauty box where you get to choose from a wide range of well-known and up-and-coming green beauty brands. There are loads to choose from and most of them are normally only available in the full size version. It is a great way to get a feel for new natural beauty products before deciding whether to fork out for the full size item. The trial sizes are generous and last a good while so it is great value for money. read more

Baby Soft Foot Scrub DIY

April 13, 2017 No Comments

I dont know about you, but i have completely neglected my feet this winter and have really noticed how the skin has become rough, dry and hard around my heels and on the balls of the feet, especially. It felt like the task was going to be a lot of work getting them back to the soft layer of skin below. I went online for some tips on doing this at home since i can't really afford a proper pedicure right now. To be honest i have only ever had a couple of proper pedicures in my life since they're sooo expensive!!
