    tea tree oil australian bodycare review

    December 4, 2019 - By 

    Disclosure – australian bodycare gifted me these products for the purpose of this post. I remember first discovering tea tree oil when I was at school. Back then I was pretty limited to the products in my local pharmacy, but regularly stocked up on small bottles of tea tree oil as it’s such a miracle product and really helped my skin. Did you know that tea tree oil was used over one hundred years ago in Australia, due to its antiseptic purposes? In the last few decades, this natural medicinal oil has gained worldwide recognition for its beneficial properties. Research…

Top tips for a healthy start to the New Year I’ve been following Slimming World for the last 10 months but had a break over Christmas. I really felt it.

    5 hair care tips for Autumn

    September 10, 2017 - By 

    Photo by Dan Gold on Unsplash Today I was actually cold! As much as I love Autumn, and it’s pretty much my favourite month, I wasn’t quite as prepared for the change in temperature that we experienced today. It’s been damp, cold and windy and I didn’t like it. This evening we put the heating on and I finally felt warm.I love cosy evenings in but did you know that artificial heat and lack of sunlight affects your hair? Hair responds to sunlight, just as plants do. Our hair loves the warmer months of Spring and Summer but everything changes come Autumn. Photo…

    Orla Kiely beauty haul

    March 29, 2016 - By 

    A couple of weeks ago I picked up some lovely Orla Kiely items in Boots and I’ve been wanting to share them here for a while. Since we’re away for a few days and I’ve been using them all, I thought it was a good opportunity to tell you about them. I love Orla Kiely patterns and designs. I got my first Orla Kiely handbag in 2004 (I think!) and have enjoyed watching her bring out new product lines and patterns ever since. I can’t usually afford more than a handbag but I got really excited about her beauty range…

    What I’ve been using – Klorane Nettle Shampoo

    February 1, 2014 - By 

    A couple of days ago I shared with you my handbag essentials, brilliant Rescue Cream and Balm. I enjoyed writing that post as I’m beginning to enjoy trying out new beauty products, so today I have something else to share – Klorane Nettle Shampoo, a deeply cleansing formula for those prone to oiliness. This gentle, effective treatment shampoo gives you more time between washes, working to regularise the amount of oil your scalp produces while slowing its spread throughout the hair. The star ingredient of the shampoo is scopoletine, an extract from nettle, which restores balance to the scalp. I had forgotten…

    My handbag essentials

    January 18, 2014 - By 

    Last weekend my husband very kindly made me a cupboard for my handbags. I have a lovely collection of Orla Kiely bags and although I pretty much use the same one every day I wanted somewhere to keep them all. My handbag is voluminous to say the least. It has to hold lots of things for me and my children. I’m hoping that once I potty train Little Sis and can get rid of the nappies there will be a little more room for my things. Two things I’ve been carrying around recently are Rescue Cream and Balm. I always…
