• So it’s day 1 of #30DaysWild (you can find out more about it from @thewildlifetrusts) and today’s random act was to watch bees! I’ve noticed that out of all the flowers this was their second favourite (sorry, don’t know the name of it). The number one spot went to the allium globemaster! Normally when I want to bee watch I head for the lavender, but all the lavender bushes where abandoned... For a second there I was worried, until I spotted all the action around the allium (check it out in my stories). #beewatching #30dayswild2019 . . . . . #mindfullifestyle #sunnyday #summertime #bumblebee #greenblogger #mindfulliving #consciousliving #ecoblogger #bee #flowers #naturelovers

  • Normally around this time of year I would start using fewer balms in my beauty routine, switching to lighter oils and lotions... yeah not this May! I mean it will be June tomorrow and my routine is looking a lot more like winter than summer. Granted, part of the reason I’m using slightly heavier products in general is due to the fact that I’m now fast approaching mid 30s, however, my skin type is still far from dry. Basically the weather this spring has been even more of a mess than the last few years, and even taking into account those few days when I got to wear a summer dress, it simply hasn’t been warm enough for me to swap to lighter formulas. Now that my little rant about the weather is over, let me mention these few balms that I have been using lately: 1. @soverallondon angel balm which I use as a cleanser. If I’m completely honest I was not expecting to like this balm as much as I do. The formula doesn’t boast any exotic ingredients but it delivers on all its promises of a deep clean and smells fantastic. 2. @joshrosebrook vital balm cream. I have mentioned this beautiful skin treat a few times in the past. The texture is a dream and it’s super concentrated so only a small amount is needed. 3. @bodhiandbirch cacao cocoon lip balm has become my go to in the past year. I’m not saying I will never use another lip treatment ever again (I mean let’s be transparent, I still have a small stash that needs using up), but it’s highly unlikely that others will be able to top it. P.S. does anyone else think about climate change every time they look up a weather forecast or is it just me? . . . . . #greenliving #greenblogger #greenbeauty #organicskincare #organicbeautyblogger #organicbeautyproducts #cleanskincare #healthyskin #beautybalm #balmcleansers #greenbbloggers #consciousconsumer #cleanbeauty #mindfulbeauty

  • Lots of sun + bank holiday weekend = minimal makeup day. And lately for me that pretty much consists of some sort of lip product: be it gloss, lipstick or lip tint. Since I’m reapplying sunscreen every few hours I’m really not in the mood to mess around with blush, bronzer or any highlighters during the day... and the almost constant presence of sunglasses makes eye makeup somewhat irrelevant. The past few days I’ve been really enjoying using @alimapure lip tint in Calla (described as muted rosy plum). It gives a sheer bit of colour which is somewhere in between of mauve and pale fuchsia, very easy to wear and seems to work with any outfit. Rather perfect for daytime or understated looks. #justahintofcolour #liptint P.S. the awesome flowery print on my shoulders is from one of the @tamgadesigns kimonos ( and yeah I totally want one in every colour). . . . . . #naturalmakeup #naturalbeauty #greenbbloggers #greenbblogger #mineralmakeup #tintedlipbalm #alimapure #cleanmakeup #lipcolour

  • Chilling by the pool, floating in the pool... generally loving my @apricoss Ariana swimsuit. This is the only one piece that I own. I tend to prefer bikinis, yet whenever I put Ariana on it makes me feel a little special with it’s Baywatch meets Riviera vibes. I have been completely obsessed with @tamgadesigns Maya kimono since I got it. I’ve been wearing it every chance I get and I think it makes a pretty great poolside coverup. . . . . . #sustainability #ecofashion #slowfashion #ethicalswimwear #ethicalfashion #ethicallymade #greenblogger #ecofashionblogger #ethicalfashionblogger #fashrev #tamgatribe

  • When I was getting all the beauty products together to take on this holiday, Mr RF was shaking his head horrified: “do you really need all this?” And the answer was of course “yes”, I couldn’t have left a single thing behind. We even had a little bet going whether or not I would actually use everything that I have. Well I used each potion at least once and we still have a few days to go! General skincare aside, I’m especially glad that I brought these beauties with me: 1. @leahlaniskincare pua lei coco infusion is a great multitasker and is especially brilliant on hols as it can take place of a few different products. The scent is gorgeous and it can double up as a perfume. I’ve been using it as hair treatment, shaving oil and all over body oil after spending the day in the sun. 2. Mosquitos here are on their game so @odylique mosimix body oil has become a must in the evenings. It has a pleasant lemony scent and most importantly it works! 3. @thegentlelabel healing balm is being used pretty much everyday on mysterious bruises and scrapes that seem to appear out of nowhere on every holiday, plus on a couple of mosquito bites that happened when I wasn’t fast enough with the mosimix application. This balm contains paw paw so it is also great on any dry bits, including cracked lips, and it is certified organic with @soilassociationbeauty. The small tube is handy to pop in the bag so it pretty much goes with me everywhere. 4. @theofficialbathingbeauty Jones The bones has become my holiday staple since the trip to Scotland. It takes care of muscle and joint pains after a long day out and about. Couldn’t be without it. 5. @weledauk skin food is my beauty bag staple. I use it as face mask when my skin is getting a bit dry, as overnight foot treatment, to calm mysterious irritations and so on. I always seem to find it useful no matter the climate. #travelbeautyessentials #skincaresaviours . . . . . #greenblogger #greenbloggers #travelbeauty #greenbeauty #naturalbeauty #naturalbeautyproducts #organicbeauty #organicbeautyblogger #organicskincare #cleanbeauty #cleanbeautythatworks #greenbbloggers #naturalbeautyblogger #mindfulbeauty

  • So far my holiday skincare has been looking something like this: Morning starts with @labellafigurabeauty balm cleanser, followed by @thebodydeli jasmine tuberose mist, @dafnaskincare eye care, @whamisaskincare organic flowers water cream and @karigranskin three sixty five SPF28. Evening routine starts the same but instead of the water cream + SPF, I’ve been using @bodhiandbirch super 25. During the day I’ve been misting with @thebodydeli jasmine tuberose ( not just the face, hair and body too) and topping up @karigranskin spf. Whenever I’m done with sun and water, I apply a little bit of @joshrosebrook balm cream straight away to give a bit of aftersun care and keep the skin hydrated. #holidayskincare #hydratedontheoutsideandinside . . . . . #greenbeautyblogger #greenliving #mindfulbeauty #greenbeauty #naturalbeauty #naturalsunscreen #organicskincare #faceoil #cleanbeauty #organicbeautyblogger #greenbbloggers #bloggersuk #holidayskin
