Meet Thesis, a family run business that craft and create green, cruelty free and totally vegan beauty products. They use exceptional organic certified ingredients, eco-friendly packaging and hand make each item in small batches. On paper, Thesis sounds like the perfect skincare range for me, so I was so excited to be able to test some of their products for the blog.
Read MoreLiving in Bristol has it’s ups and it’s downs. We have festivals, parties and events coming out of our ears. The harbourside with it’s cranes, the museums, the music, the art and the incredibly laid back lifestyle. But also…. the pollution. Bristol’s air pollution is a problem. Frankly, quite a serious problem. The city’s air currently holds around 10 micrograms per cubic metre of fine particle emissions… which is the World Health Organisation’s limit.
This level of pollution causes many, many problems. And let’s be clear I’m not going to delve into all of the many serious health issues that air pollution at this level can cause. But I am going to talk about skincare, as pollution can play absolute havoc with your skin.
Read MoreHave you come across Freyaluna before? I’ve been watching this gorgeously green, cruelty free skincare company on Instagram for a while now, but have only recently managed to get my excited mitts on a few of the products.
Read MoreThis Summer I was lucky enough to go to Valley Fest with Weleda. When the lovely folk at Weleda invited me to come along with my family, it was like a little gift from the universe. This time last year I was in hospital with severe postnatal depression. I came home in the Winter time and really felt like I had just missed out on the whole of Summer.

Read MoreGood music, great food, hilarious farmers handing out free shots of tequila (yes really!), amazing tents full of crafts for kids, tents full of booze for adults. Hobby horse derby, ball pool karaoke, bubbles, boats, empty baths to play in on the hilltops. Circus skills, fairground rides, tasty vegan food, hand massages, ice creams, NICE CREAMS (more on that later), playing chase, dancing with a baby on the hip and my toddler holding my hand, sunsets over the stage, bonfires crackling.
Read MoreThe native Moroccan argan oil has had a lot of good press in the last ten or so years… it’s been hailed as “liquid gold” and celebrities, bloggers and even chefs are all going mad for the stuff! It’s packed full of anti-ageing properties; antioxidant vitamin E and super nourishing omega fatty acids, meaning that it’s the perfect oil for healing , softening and protecting.
Read MoreI’ll be honest, me and green beauty have had a little falling out recently. I’ve been getting sick of people scaremongering, naming lists of ingredients that’ll “kill you” and basically assuming that natural = good, synthetic = bad. I’ve been reading more, and more about skin. I’ve been learning about different ingredients. I’ve been thinking, talking, listening to it all. I decided to open up, and try some slightly different ingredients, products and ranges. I tried my first products from The Ordinary. And honestly… my skin has just been getting better and better!
