Happy (Belated) Birthday Blog!
Being the neglectful and inattentive blog mother that I am, I forgot my poor little one’s birthday this year. And it was an important birthday too – a big milestone in its young life. Healing Beauty turned one on 22nd April. If I sound a little dispirited it’s because it’s with a twinge of guilt […]

From a waste/economical perspective I thought this […]
EWG’s Safest Sunscreens. Let’s get ready for summer!

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 […]
