I am a busy bee preparing Mother’s Day gift boxes. The box includes seven 100% natural soap bars. I use therapeutic quality essential oils to soothe skin. I have added  in some free items, since Mammy’s are worth it. The box includes: Lemongrass & Calendula Body Wash Bar (Fresh...

I have received quite a few questions about cellulite lately. I’m no expert. My brief run in with the dreaded orange peel was short lived thanks to 7 cups of Dr Stewarts Detox Tea daily over a week. Excesseive? Certainly. Necessary? Absolutely. The tea worked a treat because I noticed a small...

This recipe makes a rich moisturising scrub. I think it’s particularly good for dry or sensitive skin. Instead of using salts or sugar, the almonds in this scrub exfoliate the skin gently. The cucumber soothes any inflammation. All you need is 110g Ripe Avocado 40g Ground Almond 110g...

Varicose veins are in my family. As a hairdresser my Mam has spent most days on her feet and this has been a huge issue for her. One of my friends has them too and not only are they painful but they effect her confidence. When she goes shopping the veins effect her choice in clothes. She hates showing...

I always love the idea of bathbombs.  My experience of using them however is not so positive. I have 2 problems with the bathbombs I have bought over the years. The fragrance is often so strong that I get a headache They dry my skin out beyond belief! As a little experiment a few weeks...

I had so many questions about how to get rid of the dreaded red bumps so many of us get at the back of our arms. I decided to respond to everyone in one go in this blog post. A bit of background; I found that the bumps were worse after a bath or shower. This led me to believe that my many chemical...

This is week 3 of my ban on chemical laden bath and body products. I am feeling quite proud of myself this evening :) I have not caved once! The reason for this is that I have quite simply made my own products from scratch. Now I know what’s going in my hair, bath and on my skin. I am happy...
