Why and how to choose a natural sunscreen

February 3, 2015

choose a natural sunscreen

As an 80’s child growing up in New Zealand, I have fond memories of mum lathering any old commercial sunscreen on my body, head to toe. 25 years later and through my own journey, I have come to realise that there is so much more to your average sunscreen than we are lead to believe.

So why all the fuss you ask? How could something doing us good potentially do the reverse?

Favourite Finds – Rasasara Herbal Face Cleansing Bar

January 28, 2015

Rasasara is a boutique Ayurvedic Organic ‘skinfood’ line that is carefully formulated in Melbourne, Victoria by the passionate Sonia Llyod. I was first introduced to the world of Ayurvedic skincare a couple of years ago when the lovely Lizzy of Primal Junction fame, kindly gifted me with an eye gel for Christmas. It wasn’t until moving to Melbourne that I stumbled upon the full line at my favourite Organic grocer, and of course you know with me – the rest is history!

Favourite Finds – The best of the best 2014

January 22, 2015

If you are reading this, you know I’m not just any old natural beauty blogger.

In fact, those closest to me would likely say I am a little obsessed with beauty products, especially those of the Organic kind. When this obsession becomes a blog or as I like to call it – a community to share your passion with the world; there is one question I am commonly asked:

‘so what would you recommend for x, y or z?’

Favourite Finds – Eco by Sonya Coconut + Mint Body Wash

January 19, 2015

eco by sonya body wash

I first stumbled upon the Eco by Sonya brand when I was researching alternatives to conventional fake tans. Perhaps I should clarify that – on one of my many adventures to the health food store looking for a chemical-free alternative to common tanning products, I discovered Eco Tan.

Founded by Sonya Driver in 2011, her product Eco Tan Invisible Tan was launched out of a very personal desire to create Australia’s first Organic tanning product.

Favourite Finds: Buddy Scrub

December 18, 2014

We were lucky enough to be gifted some Buddy Scrub to trial – it’s an all natural body scrub which aims to exfoliate, nourish and moisturise you. This product is made in Melbourne, Australia. It’s all natural and tested on humans not animals. I didn’t need any more encouragement to get down and dirty in the shower with this buddy!

Let me set the scene for you ladies – this scrub is a raw cacao scrub with hints of coconut oil and sweet almond oil…. yum!!! The smell of the scrub is off the hook – it’s decedent and the first time I opened the pack, I felt like I was smelling the ingredients of the cake. Yummy!
This also arrived at a perfect time for me as I’ve been having some issues with dry skin – so wanted to see the impact of using this scrub.
