<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still part of the <a href="https://www.lovelula.com/?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" target="_blank">LoveLula </a>blogger program so I thought I'd dip my toes back into reviews by picking the following.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>This month I'm all about vitamins and minerals... specifically Magnesium. My son is a terrible sleeper and it was suggested to me that both him and I needed to up our magnesium intake. For me this comes in the form of <b>TerraNova Magnesium Calcium 2:1 capsules</b> and for Minor, <a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/kiki-health-magnesium-oil-125ml?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" target="_blank"><b>KIKI Health Magnesium Oil Spray</b></a>. Minor still feeds from me very regularly so it's important for me to keep my own levels up as all the nutrients in me go first and foremost to my milk which often leaves me depleted. This is another reason for picking <b>TerraNova Prenatal Multivitamins</b>. While I'm not prenatal, these supplements have everything my body needs to keep ticking along nicely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I've been using these supplements daily for almost 4 weeks now and lets be honest, its a hard one to review because often it's not until you stop taking them that you feel a result.<br />
However, I am noticing that my energy levels are improving/have improved. I feel like I have more juice in the tank and that I can do more with my day than I was before. It's a hard one to explain but I do feel more with it, like my brain is in the right gear (most of the time!).<br />
<br />
I'd like to say that the Oil Spray has worked miracle on my son but alas, I don't think that it's made a difference at all. I'll continue to use it though, as it gives us a change to do a bit of baby massage which we both enjoy. It does leave a bit of a weird salty feel to the skin after use but goes after washing hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My last pick is a <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/acure-organics-facial-cleansing-gel-118ml?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" target="_blank">Facial Cleansing Gel from Acure</a></b>. I love this brand and I used to order from the US, so I'm pleased to see LoveLula has started stocking them. I was after a face wash for the morning when I prefer something quick that I can use in the shower. This gel fits the brief perfectly; you need a tiny smidge to lather up the face so it'll last yonks (tick), it smells super citrusy (tick), and washes away the overnight sheen without drying (tick). Big win for me and I highly recommend it.<br />
<br />
Now I've tried to find links to both the TerraNova capsules and I can't see them on the LoveLula site at all. Maybe this means they no longer stock them or perhaps they are currently out of stock. I'm awaiting confirmation and will update when I know more.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello! This is a welcome back for me to blogging, I hope to be posting a bit more regularly now. I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself with a schedule, but I hope to be posting a couple of times a month from now on. My blogging skills are a bit rusty, so bear with me as I get back into the swing of things!</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still part of the LoveLula Blogger Program, although for a couple of months I took a break as I knew I wasn't going to be able to spend the time reviewing the products, but also because I found that I had a bit of a stash that I wanted to work through before ordering any more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here I am, with mini reviews of the three items I picked during April.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/antipodes-aura-manuka-honey-mask-75ml?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Face Mask</a></b> - I've heard so much about this brand, and this mask in particular that I figured I'd give it a whirl. It suggests applying a thick layer of the mask over the face for 15 minutes every day, which for me is just not possible. I aim for once a week a the moment and while I may not be getting the full effect, I find that after use my skin is brighter, softer, and clearer. It helps with the occasional break out, thanks to the manuka antibacterial and antifungal properties.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see why it was all the rage a couple of years ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/john-masters-organics-hair-spray-236ml?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">John Masters Organic Hair Spray</a></b> - My hair has always been a bit wild but since falling pregnant and now while I breastfeed, its really gone crazy. Partly thanks to new growth I guess, I find that my hair tends to stick up and create a halo of frizz that I need to tame. Enter John Masters hair spray! It comes in a pump spray bottle which dispenses a good amount of the spray over my head. I'm still a bit timid when using it as I worry I'll end up with crispy, lego hair but I'm really impressed at how it keeps those flyaways in check. I very rarely need the holding power of a hair spray for an up-do, so I can't comment on how it works for that but for day to day it gets the thumbs up from me. One down side about this it that the pump does get clogged every now and then so I have to wash the pump, which isn't ideal and for the price I think is a real let down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/tabitha-james-kraan-compact-organic-dry-shampoo-for-dark-hair-15g?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tabitha James Kraan Compact Dry Shampoo for Dark Hair</a></b> - A good dry shampoo is hard to come by. Back in the day I used Batiste on a regular basis, and I'll be honest and say that I really miss it. I thought I'd give this one from Tabitha James Kraan a go specifically because of the applicator - it is a pump dispenser - which I thought would be great as I get powder <i>everywhere</i>. The dry shampoo itself is pretty good, I get a bit of volume from it and a lovely scent too. The big downside was the pump. It puffed out the teeniest, tiniest amount of powder onto the hair. For a while, I wasn't sure it was dispensing anything and had to spray it into an empty teacup to see if anything was coming out. I ended up unscrewing everything, applying the powder by shaking it out, and screwing it all back together again. Not idea when you're in a rush. However since tinkering with the packaging, more powder does come out now so maybe it just needed playing with. Ending on a possitive, the fact that the powder is already tinted with a dark shade means that there is no more grey "you missed a spot" areas! Huge bonus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have any dry shampoo recommendations for me?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy New Year from Jen's Green Skin! You may have noticed a few changes around here... I finally updated my blog with not only a lovely new theme, but also my very own .co.uk! I'm not a very techy person so I'm sure there are some kinks to iron out but on the whole I'm very happy with it.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My site isn't the only new thing around here, I've updated my make up bag and today I'm going to talk you through it. Over the last couple of months I've picked a few key make up bits as part of the <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LoveLula </a></b>blogger programme, as what I has been using was getting a bit old and in need of a spruce up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will probably be familiar with the cult RMS Eye Polishes (if not, where have you been!) which are creamy and unfortunately don't work for my oily lids. Needless to say that when I saw that <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/rms-beauty-swift-shadow?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">RMS Beauty Swift Shadows</a></b> were being released, I placed an order quick sharp. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The shadows are split into colour groups, with each group having three variations - for example the group Tempting Touch is made up of beiges/tans with the variants 71, 73, 76. Are you with me?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Tobacco Road group are greeny/browns and have the varients 92, 94, 97.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went for the shades Tempting Touch 71, Tempting Touch 76, and Tobacco Road 97. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With these three neutral tones, I can go from day time to evening with a bit of layering. I think that's what I like most about these, that they can be built up to create a deeper colour. And you know what, they work really well and last without creasing up on me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzPhHK8GtseKGV37NBvsd1TJs36sLaClxRo1OdmpgcdRQnpMl8oLhaU7YvNZqjRtZ7IPXEbNUvOQAtw8Rug7kd4VOFV3JhwOC0HBhOzvhj7koeZO10mpAU2YLbJVyc0KUwQU4Kz6ohf54/s1600/IMG_4367.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzPhHK8GtseKGV37NBvsd1TJs36sLaClxRo1OdmpgcdRQnpMl8oLhaU7YvNZqjRtZ7IPXEbNUvOQAtw8Rug7kd4VOFV3JhwOC0HBhOzvhj7koeZO10mpAU2YLbJVyc0KUwQU4Kz6ohf54/s400/IMG_4367.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was a teen (and well into my twenties!) I didn't leave the house without a liberal application of black liquid eyeliner - my favourite was those ones that were basically felt tip pens, you know the ones, they were like permanent markers and didn't budge for three days!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've sort of avoided liquid liners since going natural as I hadn't found one that would stay put. However it's been a couple if years and I miss the depth of black that you can only really get from a liquid. So I plucked up the courage and opted for this offering from <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/dr-hauschka-liquid-eyeliner-black?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dr Hauschka</a>.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The brush is very fine and it did take me some time to get used to such precision but I can now safely apply it without looking like I was applying it while skydiving. Its a true black, has real lasting power, and thank God it doesn't smudge or run! It feels good to have this in my tool kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My old faithful Green People blush had gone well over its use by date so I tentatively went for something different, <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/phb-ethical-beauty-pressed-sienna-mineral-blusher-spf-30-9g?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PHB Ethical Beauty's Pressed Blusher</a></b> in Sienna. A matte dusty pink with peach undertones, it can be built up to create more colour if needed. I only use a light dusting as to be honest I'm not sure the colour works that well for me and although it's matte, I'm sure it has a faint shimmer to it which I'm not so keen on. I don't wear blusher ever day, so it may just be that I need some more time to get used to it. I had been using my Green People one for a loooong time and new make up relationships can take a while to develop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rounding off this foray into my make up bag, is the <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/ere-perez-real-rosehip-oil-lipbar-life-4-5g?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ere Perez LipBar</a></b> in Life. Yes, it is that vivid in real life. I was a bit shocked as it looks pretty different to the photo on the website, so I did a little *gulp* when I took it out of the packaging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However it is pretty damn lush. Not a traditional lipstick but not a lip balm either; it's super nourishing, glossy, and with a slick over the lips its a barely there rosy red which can be built up if you want more colour. It's just enough of a red to make me feel dressed up but without making me feel self conscious that I'm walking around with a big red smaker on my face. I love it and want to try the colour Love next for a day to day look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you have it, my new make up bag for 2017. Have you any suggestions for what I should try next?</div>

It's the last Saturday for online shopping that will get your orders to you before Christmas, so I thought I'd share just a few last minute gifts... be it secret Santa or the "oh pants, I forgot to get something for so-and-so" presents.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
At £15 each these Humble Natural Beauty gift sets are bound to be a hit. The packaging is adorable, with a line work floral pattern, and recyclable too.<br />
<b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/humble-natural-beauty-hand-cream-gift-set?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Hand Cream Set </a></b> - Containing two hand creams in Sweet Pea & Verbena - a delicate scent with woody undertones, and Rose & Frankincense - floral with Christmasy notes thanks to the frankincense. This is a cute set for work colleagues or that Aunty that you never know what to get. At 75ml, they are the perfect size for handbags or desks.<br />
<b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/humble-natural-beauty-hand-wash_and_hand_lotion_gift_set?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hand Wash and Hand Lotion Set </a></b>- I really like receiving these kinds of gifts, they look great in the bathroom and make the room feel more "put together". Both are in the Sweet Pea & Verbena scent, it's fresh and uplifting. A fab stand by gift that you'd be happy to keep for yourself!<br />
<br />
If you have a bit more of a budget, then pairing these two Conscious Skincare items together could do the trick. The <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/conscious-skincare-sweet-orange-and-frangipani-body-wash-250ml?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Wash</a></b> (£13.99) and matching<b> <a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/conscious-skincare-sweet-orange-and-frangipani-body-lotion-250ml?atk=yMuUyrCAI8mQf-EpSUfaQg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Body Lotion</a> </b>(£14.99) make a great pair. They come with screw tops on, which makes for easy wrapping, and the pump dispensers come separately.<br />
Uplifting and calming, the fragrance are perfect for this time of year when you are maybe starting to feel a bit frazzled and need a pick me up.<br />
<br />
That's it! Happy shopping guys and have a wonderful Christmas X<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that summer is over and so people may not think that they still need to wear an SPF but it is still SO IMPORTANT to keep your skin protected from the rays, even the ones you can't see.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
As we head into Autumn, I picked up the <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/kimberly-sayer-ultra-light-organic-facial-moisturiser-spf30-120ml#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kimberly Sayer Ultra Light Facial Moisturiser</a>*</b> with SPF30. It comes in a huge 120ml pump bottle and retails at £26.50.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This moisturiser is super light weight, just two pumps and I get a whole face of coverage. No white cast, no heavy greasy feeling; just a light and refreshing treat to use each morning.<br />
The bottle will last <i>forever</i>, ok not forever but I'd say a good 6 months which makes it good value for money in my books. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I've been using it for about six weeks now and it's been great, although I do wonder how it'll continue to moisturise effectively as Autumn fades to Winter. It may mean that I use an additional moisturiser and then layer this on top for the SPF goodness.<br />
<br />
What do you use for SPF?<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm a bit late posting this one but I'm assuming you'll forgive me, I did just give birth after all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below you'll find everything your need to know about <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/beauty-box/previous" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">October's Beauty Box</a></b>* from <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LoveLula</a></b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Let's not forget you can get these boxes from just £12.50!)</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Inside this months box we have:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Barefoot SOS Nourishing Cleansing Cream - full sized. This product is worth the box alone (and costs £20!). A refreshing cream cleanser that leaves the skin feeling refreshed and toned. I'm really looking forward to using this over the winter months, when a creamy cleanser really helps to boost hydration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
PHB Ethical Beauty Natural Lavender Soap - full size. Another winner from PHB, this is a lushly scented soap made with olive and coconut oils infused with lavender, and is extra gentle to the skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
John Masters Lip Balm - full sized. I've gone through a couple of these lip balms in my time, and it's one that I tend to use around the house as I don't find that it gives enough of a barrier when out and about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
REN Flash Hyro-Boost - sample. This is a new launch, a hydration booster designed to work in harmony with the skin, to prevent the ages effects of dehydration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BON Natural Pure Tissue Oil - sample. The oil has been formulated to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and is made with a blend of rosehip, avocado and grapeseed oils.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As part of the LoveLula Blogger Program, I was also sent a couple of additional products to try out...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/turbliss-bioactive-peat-toner-100ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TurBliss Bioactive Peat Toner</a></b> - now this one did have bloggers questioning <i>say what?</i> when we received it. I mean, it is a toner made from natural peat after all. It "cleanses, refreshes, revitalises and tones the skin" but I've yet to try it out, in part because I don't fancy spraying peat around a newborn. I'll let you know how I get one with it once I'm brave enough!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/kimberly-sayer-gentle-almond-and-lavender-organic-face-scrub-60ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kimberly Sayer Gentle Almond & Lavender Face Scrub</a></b> - I received this box the day I came home from the hospital and I used the scrub to help remove 3 days worth of grim. It felt so damn good. I usually prefer a more abrasive scrub but gentle was just what my skin needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another fab box from LoveLula. I'm not sure if October's is still available but if you sign up now, then you're first box will be in November. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't wait to see what's in the next one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>So what so you think about the Peat Toner?!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I was recently introduced to <b><a href="https://www.motherlylove.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MotherlyLove</a></b>, an exciting range of 100% pure natural oils created by Jan - a midwife and aromatherapist. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Motherlylove have created a range of blended oils which has mum and baby's health and happiness in mind.<br />
The range consists of 8 blended oils, which include Tums & Bums Stretchmark Oil, Pregnancy & Labour Massage Oil, and a Relaxing Bath Oil. Jan has also created two pulse point roll on oils to be used during labour.<br />
<br />
As my due date is just around the corner, I was kindly sent <b><a href="https://www.motherlylove.co.uk/product/foot-massage-oil-swollen-ankle-leg-cramps-aromatherapy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Foot Loose Soothing Massage Oil</a></b>* and <b><a href="https://www.motherlylove.co.uk/product/pulse-point-aromatherapy-bergamot-grapefruit-fragrance-labour-pregnancy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Due Date Pulse Point in Bergamot and Grapefruit</a></b>*.<br />
<br />
I've really suffered with swelling over the third trimester, my hands and feet puffing up and causing me all sorts of issues. I was glad to be able to try out something specifically for pregnancy swelling, and Foot Loose did not disappoint. With a base of sweet almond and coconut , this omega rich oil had lavender and peppermint expertly blended to create a treat for feet (and hands!). Of course having a foot and leg massage from the Mr helps, and we found the oil really lovely to work with.<br />
<br />
The Due Date Pulse Point roll on is a perfect little bottle to carry around to lift the spirits and help focus the mind. Bergamot and grapefruit are wonderfully uplifting and really help with get up and go. Not just for use during labour, I've been applying daily whenever I've needed a pick-me-up and I feel like this will help relax my mind and body when using it in labour as I'll have associated the scent with something relaxing.<br />
<br />
Motherlylove won big in this years Green Parent 2016 Natural Beauty Awards, taking home Gold Best Buy for Due Date Pregnancy/Labour Massage Oil, and Gold for Pamper Mum Bath/Shower Oil. They also swooped up 1 Gold and 2 Silver awards from the Gentle Parenting 2016 awards.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd been looking for a lotion that would help me out with my ever growing baby bump, when I remembered that Odylique do a fab range of products for itchy skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was sent the <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/odylique-repair-lotion-200ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Repair Lotion</a></b>* which comes in a 200ml pump bottle and costs £20.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's Soil Association approved Organic and 100% of the ingredients are from natural origin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lotion is a creamy yellow colour and I was surprised to see how far just two pumps would go (turns out a long way!) as it doesn't seem like very much in the hand. It has a very neutral smell, thanks to the chickweed, chamomile, and calendula.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did find that I had to allow a bit of time for the lotion to sink into the skin before putting clothes on as it's quite a rich cream, but I can't fault it for calming the skin. I tend to use this for a few days at a time, when I'm going through particular growth spurts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also been using it on the tops of my arms which tend to get neglected, and have noticed an improvement in texture and tone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Another year, another incredible Gorgeously Green event (even if I do say so myself!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sarah (<b><a href="http://www.sugarpuffish.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SugarPuffish</a></b>) and I came away from last year and within a couple of weeks, had already booked the date and venue for 2016. There was such a wonderful response to the 2015 event that we felt we had to capture that momentum and start planning extra early for 2016.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found our wonderful brands and the rest is now history!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grace from <b><a href="http://www.totallyorganic.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Totally Organic</a></b> sponsored the event, so I'll say a very warm Thank You to her now! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day started with Joanna from <b><a href="http://www.mallowandwhite.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mallow & White</a></b> talking about how she swapped working for the BBC to making skincare products with 6 or fewer ingredients. Her capsule range consists of three ranges: Restore, Revitalise, and Soothe and within this they each have a Cleaning Oil, Face Mask and Facial Oil. I have a Soothe Face Mask to try, but I have my eye on both the oils too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up we had Laura from <b><a href="http://www.evolvebeauty.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Evolve Beauty</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.s5skincare.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">S5 Skincare</a></b>. Laura spoke about her background and how she came to develop the Evolve and S5 lines. I loved hearing about the recent changes to the Evolve packaging and the reasoning behind it. Samples of some of the best selling products were passed around the table and I made a very long shopping list thanks to it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After lunch, Alessandra from <b><a href="http://www.terreverdi.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Terre Verdi</a></b> gave an inspiring presentation on her life and how she developed the brand. I felt transported to Sicily and connected to the world, all while sitting on my butt in a conference room in the south of England! Alessandra had us label and pour our own GoodOils Cleaning Oil, which was really fun. I never knew how difficult it was to get the labels straight on the bottle!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last speaker of the day was Carly from <b><a href="http://www.beeutiful.co.uk/home" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beeutiful</a></b>. Carly is first and foremost a beekeeper, and so passionate about it too! Using only what is surplus to the bees requirements, Carly makes all her products with her own bee by-products. It was fascinating listening to her and how she cares for her bees. It added a different layer to the day.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i> The Goodie bag! We also had a 20% discount code from Totally Organic, but I haven't pictured it here incase you pinch it!</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjyUNp5HLmMwv67EyhnyTcf2BnotpJH9k8vkZWkkj9V5knZffsjqWisry2UboknKHwpzhTrD94r5XWfQePj8roZP9E1h3i8s9BOq0DwMB23ZrH3eN_pW1Y_0lfJ6njql1yAZrbHNcProg/s1600/IMG_3986.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjyUNp5HLmMwv67EyhnyTcf2BnotpJH9k8vkZWkkj9V5knZffsjqWisry2UboknKHwpzhTrD94r5XWfQePj8roZP9E1h3i8s9BOq0DwMB23ZrH3eN_pW1Y_0lfJ6njql1yAZrbHNcProg/s320/IMG_3986.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
We had additional products kindly sent to us to include in the goodie bags from:<br />
<b><a href="http://www.natracare.com/" target="_blank">Natracare</a> -</b> a sample of their Make Up Cleansing Wipe<br />
<b><a href="http://veeda.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Veeda</a> - </b>samples of their naural cotton towels and tampons<br />
and <b><a href="http://www.maggieanne.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maggie Anne</a> - </b>who sent 10 of their 6 free gel effect nail polishes which we included in the raffle.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to everyone who came along and made the day; we were able to see old friends from the Green community but we also had a few beauty bloggers attend who were new to natural beauty so it was exciting to be able to share the day with them and hopefully introduce them to a whole new world!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thanks to our brands and sponsors for their contribution to goodie bags and prizes for the charity raffle. We were able to raise £38 for <b><a href="http://www.friendsofthehoneybee.com/about/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Friends of The Honey Bee</a></b>, a charity which aims to fund research, encourage people to plant bee friendly flowers, and transform the British landscape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To Sarah, I've said my thanks to you time and time again over the last year but one more won't hurt! Thank you!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was sent this fab Beauty Box* from <b><a href="http://www.lovelula.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LoveLula </a></b>at the end of last week and am really happy with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The box retails at £12.50 per month which I think is really good value for money considering what's inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>Inside this September edition you get:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BalmBalm Organic Rose Floral Water Hydrosol - A gentle toner or a refreshing pick me up in this unseasonable heat, the spray is fine and covers the face well. Lovely treat to keep in the fridge for the hot days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Madara Brightening AHA Peel Mask - I've tried this peel mask before and it is one that I really like. I guess it's because it feels like its actually doing something. It certainly brighten my skin and makes a visible difference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ooh! Organic Baobab Rejuvenating Face Oil - This product is worth £19, so you absolutely get value for money in the box. Rich in Omega 3, 6, and 9, the oil is perfect for rejuvenating any skin type. I look forward to seeing the longer term effects it has.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FoM London Hydra Plump Serum - I've not tried anything from this brand before, although I know that they have a really good reputation. <i>"A triple action moisture boost serum that works to attract, bind and prevent moisture loss."</i> I think this one will be fab during the Winter months to keep skin in tip top condition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Along with samples of Madara Micellar Water and Kimberly Sayer Ultra Light Facial Moisturizer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look forward to what's in the October box!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Time seems to be creeping up on me and all of a sudden I'm 6 weeks away from my due date!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've slowly been packing my hospital bag but hadn't really given much thought as to what I'd pack for my first shower after giving birth (apparently, it's the best shower of your life!) but knew I wanted to take travel sized to cut down on the size of my bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've recently signed up to be part of the <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LoveLula </a></b>blogger programme and knew I'd be on the hunt for some top travel sized products to pack into my hospital bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enter PHB Ethical Beauty. I've heard so much about this brand over the last few years but have never tried anything from them. They used to have a store in Cheltenham but when I attempted to visit last summer, I found that they had closed up shop about 2 weeks previous. Bad timing, huh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I saw that they had<b> </b>a fab Brightening Skin Care Mini Set, along with travel sized Body Wash and Lotion so I had to pick them up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/phb-ethical-beauty-brightening-skin-care-mini-set-60g" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brightening Skin Care Mini Set</a></b> is for Normal & Combination skin, and comes with 4 x 15ml sizes of:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cleanser - made with Ylang Ylang (a fave of mine!) and Papaya. Removes make up and impurities whilst boosting cell renewal for a clear, bright and even complexion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Facial Tonic - made with Neroli (another fave!) to detoxify the skin and boost circulation for a healthy, natural glow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Serum - handmade with Organic White Birch and Frankincense to target uneven skin tone. Boosts skin cell rejuvenation and encourages a brighter complexion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moisturiser - with Argan, Licorice and Immortelle to boost radiance and encourage even skin tone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my first shower, I picked a <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/phb-ethical-beauty-mini-size-brightening-body-wash-with-ylang-ylang-neroli-50ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brightening Body Wash </a></b>- made with an uplifting blend of Neroli and Ylang Ylang to renew and brighten the skin. I've already mentioned that these two essential oils are a couple of favourites of mine and I hope that the smell of them will keep all that oxytocin pumping! The gel lathers nicely, leaves skin squeaky clean, and leaves a lush fragrance on the skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've paired this with a <b><a href="https://www.lovelula.com/products/phb-ethical-beauty-mini-size-rejuvenating-body-lotion-with-jasmine-galbanum-50ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rejuvenating Body Lotion</a></b>, which is a lovely light lotion with Jasmine and Galbanum to keep skin hydrated and soft. Fast to absorb, which can only be good when rushing around in the heat! It has a gorgeous rich scent thanks to the Galbanum, almost like Frankincense, and along with the Jasmine it feels like a real treat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like I've picked some fab little products to pop into my wash kit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Have you tried anything from PHB before? What would you suggest?</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="https://queenteacosmetics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Queen Tea</a></b> are launching their new Detox Boxes TODAY and I've been lucky enough to have been testing one for the last couple of weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Detox boxes cost just £10 and come in three varieties, Morning Cuppa, Really Relaxing*, and Tea-Tox, with each box containing two Bath Tea bags and one Mini Milk sachet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything is made fresh, with 100% natural ingredients. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But what is a Bath Tea bag? Well, draw yourself a bath, pop the tea bag into the bath and hop in! Even better, because once you're ready to get in, you can add a couple of tablespoons of oat milk to the bath and you're in your own wonderfully aromatic tea cup.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a novel idea and would be wonderful to give as gifts to family and friends who enjoy a soak in the tub.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Queen Tea also sell a range of Bath Teas, Tea Scrubs and Bath Milks on their <b><a href="https://queenteacosmetics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">website</a></b>, so go and have a look!</div>

<br />
Back at the end of January I was really, really sick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started off as a sore throat and a cold (which I thought I'd be able to just get over) actually turned out to be Tonsillitis and because I didn't get that treated, the infection spread into my chest and ears. I found this out after struggling for two weeks, getting worse each day and not better, before I sucked it up and went to the Doctors. Thank God for Penicillin.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
After the first week or so, I was sent a lovely care package* from <b><a href="http://www.viridian-nutrition.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Viridian </a></b>with some supplements to help me get fight through the illness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Knowing that I'd probably end up on antibiotics, which kill everything good and bad, I received <b><a href="http://www.viridian-nutrition.com/Shop/Synbiotic-Daily-Plus-Cranberry-P748.aspx#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Synbiotic Daily Plus Cranberry</a></b> tablets to restock the good bacteria. I was able to take this for a few days before I started the course of penicillin and then had enough to last me for a week after the course had finished. This was the first time I've lived through antibiotics without unpleasant side effects - itchy skin, bloating and pain in my abdomen, and (sorry TMI) thrush. I'm putting this down to these magic tablets. I'd definitely use them in the future if I have to have antibiotics again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd also been sent the <b><a href="http://www.viridian-nutrition.com/Shop/Organic-Elderberry-Throat-Spray-P669.aspx#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Organic Elderberry Throat Spray</a></b> with Manuka Honey, Elderberry extract, Mashmallow extract and Aloe Vera. I've got be to honest and say this was weird to use. My throat had swollen so much that in order to get the spray to the back of my throat, I had to go "ahhhhh" and quickly spray, which would then trigger a coughing fit. That being said, it was soothing once I'd gone through the application process! I've still got half a bottle left so I'll keep it close by and use immediately if I think I'm picking anything up again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite of the supplements however, was the <b><a href="http://www.viridian-nutrition.com/Shop/Organic-Maca-Extract-P743.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Organic Maca Extract</a></b>. Maca is well known for improving energy levels and it wasn't until my body was starting to recover that I noticed what a difference taking these tablets had made. Sure, my body was falling to bits and was a bit of a pathetic mess, but thanks to the Maca my head was clear and I actually felt pretty good mentally. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly as a little treat, I had the <b><a href="http://www.viridian-nutrition.com/Shop/Ultimate-Beauty-Organic-Nail-Cuticle-Oil-P709.aspx#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ultimate Beauty Organic Nail & Cuticle Oil.</a></b> This incredibly scented oil encourages nail appearance and condition, all thanks to Jojoba oil, extract of Horsetail and Marigold, and Lemon Myrtle essential oil. I've got into a nice little routine of applying this oil each evening before I go to bed and massaging into the nail bed. Its quite a relaxing experience and I hope it won't be long before I see the benefits of using it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been virus clear for a couple of weeks now and feeling better each day. I hope it's a LONG time before I'm that poorly again!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Today I'm going to try and review a foundation for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not something I've done before so I'm a little anxious. Getting the right shade foundation is a pain in the butt - I'm pale with pink and yellow undertones and then I have wonderfully red cheeks.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Because of the nightmare that is foundation hunting, I usually stick with BB creams that have some pigmentation but not enough to have to worry about looking too pale or too orange.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes though, I need foundation. If I'm going out and want to dress up, I want flawless skin and a BB cream doesn't always cut it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've seen a few good reviews of the Living Nature foundation so was happy to have the opportunity to review the liquid foundation in <b><a href="http://www.botanicalbrands.com/retail/productDetails.php?code=&product=LN41015" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pure Sand</a></b>*.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd been bouncing between picking Pure Sand and Pure Taupe but ultimately went for Pure Sand as it's a light shade with pink/yellow tones. Perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't really sure what to expect as I had never used a liquid foundation before but I was pleasantly surprised with the consistency. I was expecting to have to use a foundation brush but I found that I put too much product on when I did and it was just too much coverage for my liking. Instead, I prefer using my fingers which is probably a terrible thing to admit to but there we have it; I feel that I can control the liquid better this way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The liquid is fairly runny but it is still easy to work with and blend in. As for longevity, to be honest I've only been wearing it for evenings out, 4-5 hours at a time, and whilst it still provides a great base, I not in a position to be able to tell you that it would last a full day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It does a good job evening out my skin tone and covering blemishes without completely washing out my naturally rosie cheeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Houses in a sleek frosted glass jar with a black pump, I'll also give it points for appearance and ease of use.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I will say is that I can't always wear the foundation - it has a tendency to cling to dry patches and therefore leaves a rather scaly texture behind. My dry patches are cyclical so I know when I can/can't use it. Even when exfoliating and using a heavier moisturiser, it didn't help me. To be fair though, I don't use BB creams during this time either as the same thing happens.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Which foundation do you use?</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
With Valentines Day around the corner, I'd like to review a wonderful <b><a href="http://www.gooddayorganics.com/mount-purious-massage-oil-lavender-100ml/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Massage Oil from Mount Purious</a>*</b> for you.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first came across Chris, who founded both Mount Purious and Good Day Organics, at the Love Natural Love Organic show last July. I'll admit that what caught my attention initially was actually a Beard Oil! No no, not for me (thanks!) but for my other half. I came home, raved about it and he bought it. You can read the review <b><a href="http://jensgreenskincare.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/review-good-day-organic-beard-oil-aka.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>. Now I frequently send fellas to Chris for their beard oils!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chris kindly sent me over the newly launched Massage Oil in Lavender (you can also get an Unscented version) in time for Valentines Day to share with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The oil (like all Mount Purious oils) are Soil Association certified. Sweet Almond Oil and Lavender Essential Oil are the two ingredients which make this massage oil 100% organic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25.2px; text-align: start;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Mount Purious. Lavender Massage Oil has a composition which slowly soaks into the skin providing enough time to deeply massage the skin and muscles. Our Massage Oil is high in Vitamins A, B, D, E as well as potassium and magnesium, these vitamins and minerals also deeply moisturise dry, tired skin making for one fantastic feeling massage." </span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweet almond oil is a massage base staple for a reason; its wonderful to work with and leaves the skin silky smooth. The added Lavender oil works so well to calm and relax, perfect for a Valentines Day Massage.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This would make a great gift for any time of the year!<br />

<br />
There is no denying it, I'm a snacker. One of my desk draws is packed with bits of this and that to keep me fuelled during the day and I *usually* make pretty good choices but sometimes I need something a bit sweeter.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enter <b><a href="http://www.primalpantry.com/" target="_blank">The Primal Pantry</a></b>. Now I'm not a stranger to this brand as they very kindly donated some bars to the Gorgeously Green Gathering goodie bags.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Primal Pantry's mission is to make great tasting paleo and primal foods, with the best real food ingredients and free of any junk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Only 4-5 ingredients per bar, these babies taste wonderful and also give you a natural energy boost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With flavours such as Coconut & Macadamia*, Hazelnut & Cocoa, Brazil Nut & Cherry, Almond & Cashew, and the newly launched Apple & Pecan, you're sure to find something that you'll love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I've been trying out this lovely <b><a href="http://www.botanicals.co.uk/natural-green-clay-avocado-facial-mask/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Green Clay & Avocado Balancing face mask from Botanicals</a></b>* for a few weeks now.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With Mediterranean green clay to help eliminate dead skin cells and draw out impurities, and cold-pressed avocado and jojoba oils to leave skin feeling soft and smooth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mask has a very smooth texture to it, more balm like than a clay mask, thanks to those wonderful oils. It's easy to apply and even easier to remove (aren't clay masks usually such a mess to remove?!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just 10 minutes is needed once a week to give a boost to my dull, oily, Winter-y complexion a fresh boost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can pick up a 60g pot from Botanical Brands for £18.95 by clicking <b><a href="http://www.botanicals.co.uk/natural-green-clay-avocado-facial-mask/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a></b>.</div>

Who doesn't love Coconut Oil these days?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm currently using <b><a href="https://coconoil.co.uk/products/organic-virgin-coconut-oil-280g/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Organic Virgin Coconut Oil</a></b> from<b> </b><a href="https://coconoil.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Coconoil*</a> and it's an absolute staple in my house - I use it for everything including, but not limited to, the regular beauty multi-tasking, cooking, baking, treat for the cats to prevent the build up of hairballs and to give them a beautifully glossy coats, treat athletes foot (sorry), help with skin discolouration, stings, bites and deodorant. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">The brand was </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">set up after the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami as a way to help rebuild the </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">livelihoods of Sri Lankan farmers and today helps keep over 200 Sri Lankans in </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">employment. The oil is also ‘picked, packed and pressed’ at source, which </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">improves its quality and its carbon footprint and also means more money goes </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">to the locals who help grow and process the coconuts.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">The brand has also just started a new project with 200 smallholders from five villages in Ghana, and hope </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">throughout 2015 they can replicate some of the success they have seen in Sri Lanka and help to create new jobs and income streams for those involved.</span></i><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This oil is Soil Association approved Organic and cold pressed, everything I look for when picking my coconut oil. The size I have is 280g which costs £5.49 which I think is great value but Coconoil also have great multi-buy offers too with savings up to 25%.<br />

<br />
Using an oil cleanser always feels like a naughty treat, and even though I use oils as part of my routine, cleansing with an oil makes me feel like I'm breaking the "beauty rules". Add in an oil that smells like chocolate orange and it feels decadent!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><a href="http://www.luluandboo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lulu & Boo Organic</a>s</b> have just this week released a <b><a href="http://www.luluandboo.com/chocolate-orange-cleansing-oil/147/product.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chocolate Orange Cleansing Oil</a></b>* and I've been very lucky to have had a sneaky peek of the oil for a couple of weeks now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This beautiful golden oil is cased in a frosted glass bottle with a pump dispenser.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Depending on how much make-up I've had on that day I use between 1-2 pumps and warm between my hands before giving my face a good ole massage. It's such a soothing experience and the scent really makes it feel like a treat. It works hard to break up make up (including eye make up) and is easily removed with a hand-hot flannel or muslin cloth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My skin afterwards is baby-skin soft and looks bright and well.. healthy. Not like it's been smothered in chocolate orange at all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can buy the Chocolate Orange Cleansing Oil for £27 but if you're smart, you'll use the code JGS15 for 15% off your purchase.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><a href="http://www.muktiorganics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mukti </a></b>(pronounced mooktee) Organics is an Australian organic skincare brand which was founded in 2000. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><i style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4;">"For the past few years Mukti has meticulously researched, developed and revised the formulations across our skincare range. She has added additional bioactive native Australian ingredients to increase the potency and viability of the formulas.

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Indigenous Australians have been using native plants and their extracts for thousands of years. Aboriginal women sustainably harvest the native plant extracts as a communal incentive. Our supplier purchases them under a fair trade agreement."</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; text-align: center;">
I was exited to have an opportunity to try some of their products and after discussing my skin type, was sent the following.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <b><a href="http://www.muktiorganics.com/shop/skin-care/cleanse/balancing-foaming-cleanser" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Balancing Foaming Cleanser</a></b>* is by far my favourite of the three products that I was sent. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"A gentle foaming gel that effectively assists with balancing sebaceous activity without depleting the skin of its natural oils. Deeply cleanses the skin removing impurities, perspiration, makeup and impurities</i>."</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I would say that it looks more like a runny jelly than a gel and it has quite a strong scent to it but I couldn't place what it was. Perhaps it was the Flame Tree, the Bladderwrack or the Mountain Pepper Leaf... to be honest, it could have been any of these unusual and new to me ingredients. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A couple of pumps of the gel, add a dash of water and create a... well I wouldn't even really say it foams BUT it sort of lathers. I don't feel like I'm selling this very well but I have to say this is a wonderful cleanser. My skin is oily/combo and this cleanses beautifully and actually feels like it's working to hydrate it and not just strip it off. My skin feels fresh and balanced - exactly what it says it should. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.2px; text-align: left;">Unfortunately</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;"> the <b><a href="http://www.muktiorganics.com/shop/skin-care/moisturise/balancing-moisturiser" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rose Blossom Hydrating Mist Toner</a></b>* was a bit of a duff one for me, I'm afraid. I just felt like it didn't really do anything one way or another. It certainly didn't do anything bad, no skin upsets but at the same time I don't feel like it added or improved my skin either. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On the plus side, it smells lovely so I mostly used it as a body spray. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;">Lastly, the <b><a href="http://www.muktiorganics.com/shop/skin-care/moisturise/balancing-moisturiser" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Balancing Moisturiser</a></b>* made with some more wonderfully interesting ingredients, this time </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: left;">Kakadu Plum, Silky Oil Grass, Wild Rosella.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px; text-align: start;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Contains a therapeutic blend of oils that offer protection and hydration without leaving the skin with an oily residue. Restores vitality so that skin can function in a balanced manner. Has a calming and soothing effect on sebaceous activity and encourages the natural hydration of upper skin layers."</span></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="line-height: 19.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The moisturiser is fairly light and you don't need very much of it so I feel the bottle will last a good amount of time. I think it works well to balance my skin but I'm not sure how it'll fare now we're fast approaching Winter at balancing AND keeping me moisturised.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="line-height: 19.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.2px;">I would highly recommend the Balancing Foaming Cleanser but the toner and </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.2px;">moisturiser sadly</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.2px;"> just weren't for me.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
During the Summer I found myself reaching for a lovely <b><a href="http://www.botanicals.co.uk/organic-facial-toner-chamomile/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Organic Hydrating Mist from Botanicals</a></b>*.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>This particular Hydrating Mist is infused with chamomile to calm the skin, white tea to deliver to anti-oxidant action, lavender to also soothe along with mandarin to tone.<br />
<br />
Simply spritz onto the face or apply using a cotton pad; I found the spritz a bit too powerful to me so I used it with a pad after cleaning. The mist left my skin feeling refreshed without causing it to flare up and it did feel soothed after.<br />
<br />
I labelled it as lovely as the mist is so gentle and yet I found that it was able to calm and balance my skin out really nicely on warm days when I had overheated, especially if I thought ahead and popped it in the fridge!<br />
<br />
You can pick up the Mandarin & Chamomile Organic Hydrating Mist for £14.99 by clicking <b><a href="http://www.botanicals.co.uk/organic-facial-toner-chamomile/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a></b>.<br />

<b><a href="http://www.naturisimo.com/" target="_blank">Naturisimo </a></b>just keep knocking these beauty boxes* out! I think this is a much better way to get your subscription box because 1) It costs £9.95 including postage 2) You wont get hand cream after hand cream 3) Each box is themed 4) No monthly charge. As the boxes are released every 4-6 weeks, you can just pick which ones suit you (hint, all of them!).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The October box is all about De-Stressing & Unwinding - lets have a look at what's inside...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scentered Stress Less Balm (5g) - I've read so many positive reviews about this brand that I'm really excited to be able to give it a try. Apply to pulse points, take a deep breath and reset your mood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray (5ml) - A natural pillow spray to help you switch off and restore healthy sleep patterns. I'm not sleeping well at the moment (actually for the last few months, come to think about it!) so I'm looking forward to seeing if this works.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ila Spa Bath Soak Pure Relaxation (50ml) - Now I know this works; I've had it a good few times over the last few years and it's so wonderfully calming . I love how the scent fills the bathroom, it feels like a real treat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dr Hauschka Calming Lavender and Almond Soothing Body Cream sachets (5ml each) - The almond body cream is already a favourite of mine so I'm pleased to have another chance to use it. The calming lavender works wonders to soothe the skin (and the mind!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pukka Tea Samples in Love, Relax and Serene Jasmine Green - This is such a British thing to say, but there really isn't anything quite like a hot cup of tea to help me unwind at the end of the day. I don't think I've tried any of these varieties before so I'm looking forward to trying them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, we have the Hydrea London Stress Spot Massager - New to Naturisimo, <i>"this effective tool delivers a deep and penetrating massage anywhere on the body where you feel stress or strain or to ease muscle fatigue, and unwind!" </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right - I'm off for a pamper evening using all this loveliness!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
