I’ve suffered from an itchy scalp on and off for the last few years. Whilst it doesn’t sound like a devastating problem, it is nevertheless not very nice, and also quite a persistent problem that seems to carry on through other hair woes, such as post natal hair loss. At it’s worse I was constantly […]
My final instalment of the Aveda Art of Nature collection is all about the lips lips lips! Once again I’ve never really used Aveda lip colour products before. I have the Nourish Mint in Melochia Bloom Lipstick (914-Sheer), Nourish-Mint Lip Liner in Barberry Bloom Lip Pencil, Nourishing Mint Rehydrating Lip Glaze in Kukui – all […]
The blusher or face colour released with the Art of Nature palette is this rather bold number, called Hibiscus. This Petal Essence Face Accent (there are other colours in the range) comprises of three shades to ‘highlight, flush or blush’. Hibiscus has a pearly light pink, a rose and a bright reddish coral. It’s gorgeous […]
I usually try and maintain some kind of system when it comes to reviews, almost a one in one out thing so that I can work through the piles of products in a democratic order. However, sometimes I get something that I like so much I have to push it to the front of the […]

Last week me and my little family headed down to London for a little city break. Whilst I was there I had an hour or two of ‘mum’ time by popping into the Aveda Institute, a huge, sleek one stop beauty shop with a hairdressers, spa, shop, cafe, nail bar and more! Just a 5 […]
I am a big fan of toner for a whole host of reasons; to make my skin feel really clean, to make my skin feel fresher, to leave the skin slightly more moisturised (especially with Japanese ‘lotions’). I dislike toners with alcohol as my skin is already dry, but I also don’t like how some […]
Regular readers may know that I suffer from a sensitive, itchy, sometimes flaky scalp as well as knotty ends. This makes me quite fussy when it comes to hair products, more so with shampoo than conditioner because it’s the ‘poo that’s going to either soothe or leave me walking around like a Curious George (you […]
Happy Easter, Easter Bunnies! I hope you had a nice one. Today I am talking HAIR. Oh yes. Truth be told, my hair has been a disaster area for quite some time now, due to over processing. Dye – perm – dye – straightening treatment – dye – home straightening treatment – dye – remove […]
I’ve been looking for a gentle way to colour my hair lately and add some depth without reaching for permanent or semi-permanent dyes. My hair was starting to look super brassy and purple shampoos weren’t enough to keep everything in control. Then the magic of Twitter recommended the Aveda colour conditioners to me; Clove and/or […]
Oh Aveda, how do I love thee? I love thee very much, especially when thee has created a stellar new shampoo and conditioner for dry, frizzy hair like mine. I have tested a lot of lovely shampoos and conditioners you understand. Aveda’s Dry Remedy Shampoo made for – well, dry hair, is my latest. Coming […]
I have been a little obsessive lately about my Shampoo. My regulars may know that I have a sensitive scalp so I avoid any Shampoo with SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sufate) and Parabens. It’s actually not easy AT ALL to find truly Paraben free stuff on the high street. A quick whip around in Boots didn’t […]
