I’ve been singing the praises of oils (for face and body) for a while now but was yet to find a body oil that I could really enjoy using every day . Well, the waiting is over folks – I am officially in love. I was sent this Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil weeks ago [...]

The Green Grocery Organic Products
August 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Body, Feet
With all the ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ skincare and beauty products on the market these days it’s a challenge to spot the reals from the fakes. So many products label themselves ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ when they’re in fact full of unnatural, synthetic ingredients and harsh chemicals.

Burt’s Bees New Lip Balm Flavours
August 15th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Face, Lips
I’ve always loved Burt’s Bees. It’s one of a number of things which remind me of the US as it was available there long before it was here in the UK. My mum (that’s ‘mom’ for any American readers out there) is from the States so we used to go a lot when I was [...]
Naked Scrub Up – Sea Minerals Salt Scrub
August 11th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Body
I’ve tried a couple of things from Naked Bodycare recently and am really liking the line so far. Their ‘Scrub Up Naked’ Sea Minerals Salt Scrub (£6.99) is one of my faves. This scrub is made using Dead Sea salt and seaweed extract, as well as sweet almond oil. This product, like all Naked Bodycare [...]
Myroo Skincare Shea & Coconut Body Butter Review
August 9th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Body, Summer
If there’s one beauty product I really can’t live without (excluding makeup, obviously), it’s body lotion. I moisturise religiously after I shower and am a firm believer that keeping my skin nourished and hydrated will keep it looking young for as long as possible. Well, I can only hope! I’m always on the lookout for [...]

I’ve just returned from a week away in sunny Tunisia and thought I would share with you a few beauty essentials I took with me – perfect for soothing sun kissed skin, taming beach hair and providing protection from those harmful UV rays. First up, before going into the sun I made sure I was [...]
