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. The laws surrounding the labeling of cosmetics are still vague [...]

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 [...]
My Tunisian Holiday Essentials
August 6th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Body, Essentials, Face, Hair, Summer
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 [...]

Destination Skin Smooth Shapes – Cellulite Busting Sucking Machine
July 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Body, Cellulite, Wahanda
I’ve never bought a cellulite product in my life (except for a body brush, if that counts??) and I am incredibly cynical of all those ‘wonder formulas and treatments’ that promise to banish your lumps and dimples and give you the legs and bum of a Victoria’s Secret model. However…against my better judgment, I recently [...]

Lavera Sun Spray Mineral Sunscreen Review
June 27th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Body, Sunscreen
A very nice PR from Lavera kindly sent me some of their award winning Family Sun Spray SPF 15 to try (value £16.50). So I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for the sun to shine so that I can test this baby out! Finally summer seems to be upon us and yesterday provided the perfect day to [...]

A little experiment on my ‘trusted’ lotions and potions
May 31st, 2010 · No Comments · Body, Face, Hair, Sunscreen
I decided to do a little experiment on a few of the products which I am still using. While I’m intending on switching to purer, organic products (and have already begun to do this), I did decide to use up some of the things I already owned first. From a waste/economical perspective I thought this [...]
Brownearth Shea and Cocoa Butter – product review
May 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Body
A couple of weeks ago at the Spirit of Summer Fair I picked up this Brownearth Shea and Coca Butter (£10.95) from one of the stands there. I’ve always liked shea butter and usually use it pure as a lip balm, but was intrigued by this cream, which blends shea and cocoa butter with Vitamin [...]
EWG’s Safest Sunscreens. Let’s get ready for summer!
May 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Body, Face, Sunscreen
As summer is finally upon us (well it was briefly…and presumably it will be back) I have been meaning to research and start testing natural sunscreen alternatives. However I am late off the mark as have just come across eco glam blogger Glamology’s Top 10 List of the safest sunscreens, as tested by the Environmental [...]
