weleda wild rose body oil & teething powder
A little something for baby, a little something for mama. Baby girl has well and truly cut her first two teeth and after reading so many positive reviews about the Weleda Teething Powder I decided to purchase for when the next tiny teeth start their journey. As for the Wild Rose Body Oil, well I […]
four things I love (winter bits & pieces)
July 13, 2012
Dear lovelies, It has been a long time between posts! I blame the baby – it really is true that there are not enough hours in the day the moment a little person comes along. Despite this, I have managed to find time to not only write a new post, but to write one about […]
Alpha-H to launch in the USA
June 15, 2012
I recently read that Australian active skincare range Alpha-H – a personal favourite of mine for a long time – will be launching in the United States via ShopNBC this July. I have a few US readers so in anticipation I decided to note my own top five favourite products: 1. Micro Cleanse with 12% […]
five reasons to love cleansing waters
May 22, 2012
1. They are easy: Keep a bottle beside your bed or your couch to cleanse away a long day without splashing about at the bathroom basin. 2. They smell nice: They do not all smell the same of course but my favourite cleansing waters all have a certain soothing delicateness about them. 3. They are […]
three skin pick-me-ups
April 30, 2012
Perfect for tired new mamas (as I have found) or tired non-mamas! 1. Caudalie Beauty Elixir. This smells so happy and refreshing – of perky peppermint – that it is enough of a pick-me-up for its scent alone. But a spritz on clean skin (pre-serums or moisturisers) or after applying makeup lends my skin a […]
beauty favourites in 2011
January 30, 2012
Dear beauties, I am back after a sojourn in the world of pre-baby, which has included working from home to finish up some other work projects, feeling anxious about the state of the pantry/fridge/cupboards/house in general and watching The Australian Open accompanied by cheese and chocolate. Of course with around two weeks until my tiny […]
Hello, 2012!
January 3, 2012
Happy New Year beauties! I am taking a little holiday from this blog for the next couple of weeks as I finish off some other projects, including but not limited to preparing for the arrival of my tiny, tiny person. This just means I will not be posting every Sunday but instead more sporadically – […]
Two Isomers products I love
October 30, 2011
A While ago a friend told me about Isomers, a Canadian cosmeceuticals line. She had been using some products and was very impressed, which impressed me because she can be a hard one to please when it comes to effective skin products. So the skincare bunny that I am, I immediately visited the Isomers website […]
Australian natural beauty brands: ahead of the game
August 22, 2011
Dear Beauties, There has been much talk internationally about the introduction of sophisticated, elegant, contemporary organic and natural cosmetic brands to the market. Encased in sleek, attractive packaging, lines like Rodin, Kjaer Weis and Tata Harper have beauty editors lauding what is generally perceived as the emphatic filling of distinct gap in the market: at one with the universe […]
Four things I love: winter beauty treats
August 1, 2011
Loreal Paris Base Magique. A friend gave this to me and at first I was hesitant because I do not really like velvety, siliconey primers and this one feels just like that. However it is wonderful on oily or combination skin as it really mattifies without making the skin look or feel dry. The finish […]
