You may have worked out by now that I love natural and organic beauty.  I love products, I am obsessed with the next new thing that I just have to have, but I also choose conscious beauty.  By this, I mean that I need to know the brands behind the products, their ethics and their values and the ingredients in the products. 

Beauty can be fun, it can give confidence and transform how we feel, but to me this is only possible if the products I choose do not harm myself, others, or the planet we live in.  Natural/organic beauty harnesses planet ingredients that can benefit the skin, rather than synthetics that may do damage if they are absorbed.  Natural/organic beauty products can enter the waterways and nature without doing harm and they consider their responsibilities to the environment, constantly looking for sustainable solutions. 

So all that said, I often get asked what my favourite products are and what I use on my skin.  So here are the my Top 5, with a little bit about each brand and why I love them :

With a little bit of downtime amidst a busy week, I booked myself the ultimate treat, the Dr Hauschka One Hour to Myself facial treatment.

I absolutely love Dr Hauschka products and prior to lockdown would treat myself to a monthly facial. With treatment rooms being closed for so long, my skin is looking a little grey and sallow and certainly in need of a boost.  Dr Hauschka treatments are very holistic so the benefits are much deeper than just the visible skin results, this facial induces a deep state of relaxation and allows the body and mind to slow down and repair.  Much needed after the stresses of the last twelve months.

Natural Beauty to us means skincare and cosmetic products that are produced without the use of synthetic ingredients, harsh chemicals and preservatives and potentially dangerous additives.

That all sounds straightforward but understanding natural beauty products really is a minefield and clever marketing can make you believe you are buying natural when this is far from the truth.  

We have pulled together this guide so that you can take a look at your skincare and makeup to discover whether the products you thought were natural really are.

It’s national tea day and there is no doubt that tea is something to be celebrated.  I love starting my day with a good old English Breakfast and a bit of time to myself to ponder and plan the day ahead. The rest of the day is then dedicated to herbal teas of various types to suit my mood.

There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of types of tea out there, all with different properties.  We have picked our favourite five herbs and blends to tell you more:
