Clean Beauty Awards facial care selection 2022

Hi Lovelies,

It’s that time of year again and I am a judge for the Clean Beauty Awards 2022! This year I was assigned the category of natural facial care. The products I received were mainly facial cleansing milks and I had a facial soap, a micellar makeup remover and a honey cleanser to try out. I adore being part of this amazing process each year.

I received the products one by one over the space of a couple of months and I dedicated at least a week to each one. I was happy to have the category of facial cleansers as I was running out of my own and these came at just the right time. read more

JOJOE Seamless Eco Underwear Review

May 14, 2021 No Comments

Hi Lovelies,

Happy to be bringing you this review of the ultra comfortable JOJOE seamless eco underwear. I was delighted to be sent the wonderful gift of a chic black set of bra set to review on the blog. Thanks so much to the team over at Jojoe! Needless to say, the underwear set is very pretty and stylish so a big thumbs up for that of course.

The bra and briefs are casual daywear style but what I really love about them is they are very modern and sexy too. The bottoms have a trendy cut-out at the back which is quite feminine and gives them an edgy appeal. read more

Hi Friends,

Hope you’re all keeping well. I haven’t been on the blog for a while because we’ve been renovating our new house, but I took a little break today. I was chuffed to receive my Hunu collapsible pocket cup in the post yesterday.

Thanks to the lovely people over at Hunu I was able to have my coffee on the go this morning!

The great thing about the Hunu collapsible cup is that it fits compactly in your pocket or bag and is light as a feather. It comes with a little heatproof band for when using with hot drinks to protect your hand. That wraps around the cup when its folded down so it’s really compact for traveling. read more

Hi lovelies,

I was delighted to finally come across a sustainable contemporary and vintage fashion magazine online called Contemporary Fashion. Fast fashion is one of the worst polluters of our planet today and we need to look at changing our habits.

Contemporary Fashion shows us where to find clothing that is ethically made, sourced and delivered. On top of that, they have fabulous thrifted gear including top designer brands on their site which are readily available online.

They work with lots of ethical and smaller brands who are becoming increasingly popular. A lot of fast fashion items are cheaply made with lower quality fabrics, therefore not built to last. read more
