Why you should go organic at that time of the month

Being A Conscious Beauty is about living a life that follows a holistic approach to beauty, both inside and out. For us, this means making conscious choices every day about the products that touch our skin. It is being confident that what you put on your skin, is as clean and natural as that green smoothie you devoured this morning.

One product often hidden from view (but plays a pivotal role every month for a large part of a women’s life) are personal hygiene products. Yes we are talking about tampons and pads. Yes Tampons and pads ladies!

One of my little secrets is that I have a number of girl crushes on female entrepreneurs (sprung!). One woman who recently stood out to me, is Aimee Marks and her Australian born and bred company – TOM Organic. She is all things tampons and pads, and her mission that started as a teenager has become an amazing organic product with a huge vision. While I could chat all day about her entrepreneurial skills, we should probably get down to the nitty-gritty of WHY organic tampons?

Good for you ingredients – Rosehip Oil

January 9, 2014

What is Rosehip Oil?

I first discovered Rosehip Oil back in my University days. While I didn’t have much spare cash floating around to spend on luxury items, I always made it a priority to use natural and organic skincare when I could.

During this time, I noticed the increasing popularity of Roeship Oil in both Australian and New Zealand skincare brands. Brands including Kosmea and Trilogy, started to emerge as leaders in the use of Rosehip Oil. While it appeared to be marketed more towards the ‘mature’ skin types, its benefit on sensitive skin appealed to me most. Over the years, I have grown to love many brands and products containing this wondrous oil, and constantly search out cleansers and creams that contain it.
