BAO Skincare Review

March 27, 2019 No Comments

Hi Natural Beauties,

I am a huge natural skincare fan and I love reviewing my fave natural skincare brands. Today I am doing a BAO skincare review. I reached out to them as they are one of my top fave brands of the moment and luckily for moi, I got to sample some new items. BAO stands for Beth’s Aromatherapy Organic and that speaks for itself. I currently use the BAO Hydrating Rose Mist every morning and love it.

The lovely Beth, who is the creator of BAO skincare generously offered me a couple of free products to sample in exchange for an honest review. Needless to say I was over the moon to be trying out some gorgeous new natural beauty goodies. BAO natural skincare is handmade with love from 100% natural and nourishing ingredients. I literally want to try everything from the range! read more

Buddha holding flower petals at stomach - gut health

Hi Lovelies,

Today I’m talking about how to improve gut health naturally, and why it is so important. Maintaining a healthy gut is essential to maintain our overall health so we should be making it a priority. I’ll be honest when I tell you, I hadn’t heard much about maintaining a healthy gut until last year. Gut health was definitely a buzz-word online and in the media so I have done a lot reading up on it. It is most definitely not a passing phase and needs to be on top of our list in terms of staying healthy. I touched off the subject in my recent blog post on Apple Cider Vinegar. read more

Other names for the plant include Lily of the Desert, Plant of Immortality, Healing plant, Fountain of Youth and Burn plant.

Over 6000 years ago, stone carvings of the plant were displayed in tombs of the dead Pharaohs in Egypt. It was described as a plant of immortality. read more

Did you know that every third mouthful of food we eat has been pollinated by bees? They are truly remarkable creatures and without them, the human race would be extinct! They are responsible for pollinating around 85 percent of the worlds food crops. Another fantastic thing about them is that they produce honey, wax and propolis.
