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 [...]

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 [...]

RMS Beauty: Mineral Makeup with a Beautiful Finish
July 14th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Face, Makeup
My foray into the world of natural beauty products hasn’t yet extended to natural makeup products. Until now. Having never come across a natural or organic makeup range on the high street, I was doubting that they even existed, and I certainly didn’t think they’d be as glamorous and beautifully packaged as the other various [...]

The truth about oil
June 20th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Essentials, Face
Although people are beginning to give oil based cleansers and moisturisers a go as more enter the beauty market, I think the general perception remains that oil clogs your pores and gives you spots. It is counter-intuitive for us to put oil on our face when we’ve been told for so long that oily skin [...]
Homemade Face Scrub
June 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Face
I just did something I can’t believe I’ve never done before. I whipped up my own little homemade exfoliator in my kitchen which took all of 30 seconds to make and did an absolutely amazing job! Why have I never done this before?!! The problem is I’m really quite lazy when it comes to my [...]

Sugar Diet Fail
June 17th, 2010 · No Comments · Diet, Face
For anyone that pays attention to my twitter ramblings, you’ll already know that I have failed my month long quest to give up sugar. Will power let me down and a variety of chocolate covered delights led me astray. I lasted two and a half weeks – so not too pitiful – but not what [...]

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 [...]
Sugar diet update: Day 13. I have a confession to make…
May 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Diet, Face
So, it’s been nearly two weeks into the no sugar diet which I’ve put myself on in the hope that it would improve my skin (and health in general). It hasn’t been easy I can tell you and there have been many temptations along the way, most of which I’ve gallantly avoided. One of the biggest [...]

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 [...]
