The best thing since carton milk!

Holidays are approaching...I know I keep banging on about this , but I've nearly finished packing & will be off on my jollies soon!!!

I am all out in love with moo goo products at the moment as you may have guessed , so the natural choice for my natural deodorant on my holidays is moo goo fresh cream deodorant.





I have been trying out a variety of natural deodorants over the last few months & this one is my firm favourite.
It does the job perfectly & doesn't smell herby & organic at all.  With some of the natural deodorants I've tried some of them smell a bit too natural with an overpowering tea tree scent or coconut scents.
 Moo goo have got this combo perfect  .  Its perfectly fresh scent  & creamy texture makes this item my go to must have summer essential!

The deodorant contains lemon myrtle which is why it smells so fresh , but all the other ingredients are natural too & it contains no bad aluminum nasties. Like moo goo say " health inside & out!"

If you are looking for a good natural deodorant that really does stop you smelling wiffy give this a go,  it's mooooooverlous!!!!!

Off to finish packing now , who's off on their holidays soon ???

To the moon & back!!!!

I'm now getting up to speed on my packing & the next product that will be coming on their holidays with me is this amazing moon valley organics moon melt bar.

These fabulous lotion bars are made in Washington USA  & moon valley organics grow all their own organic ingredients to give us the most purest & most indulgent personal skin care products.

I've decided to pack this in place of my regular shower gel as I think it takes up much less room & feels absolutely fantastic in the shower!




This melt lotion bar is great for dry & hydrated skin , so I'm guessing with all the sunshine I'll be getting on my holidays I will need to keep my skin pretty hydrated & this bar seems the perfect solution!

It's absolutely divine as it kind of melts under the hot water of your shower & as it melts it lets off all its smell sensations!

I particularly love  this melt bar as it contains lemon & vanilla so the zesty ness of it refreshes me while the vanilla keeps me smelling sweet! The ingredients are combined with bees wax which naturally seals in moisturiser twice as long as water based moisturizers so this bar really works wonders on my skin.

I was sent this bar to review a few months ago & fell in love with it so quickly that I purchased a brand spanking new  bar for my holidays. moon valley organics are such a cool company , they are happy to ship to the UK & I can see their products taking off big time over here . Their personal skincare products are very unique, so pop & take a look.

Have you ever heard of moon valley organics before???

MOO MOO!!! A holiday essential

ok my summer holiday is fast approaching, So I am slowly getting together my stuff together & wanted to start sharing my favourite things that will be taking pride of place in my suitcase or hand luggage.

We've all heard about the great moogoo skincare company & I have to admit a lot of my cosmetic & beauty holiday essentials are moogoo!!!

I truly love moogoo as their products as you know are all natural & smell so fresh & clean.  The products are so luxurious & creamy & their cute packaging just sends me over the edge!!! ( who doesn't love a mini milk carton!)

The first & top priority in my hand luggage is a lip balm & this  tube of milkiness has the whole
Sccchhhbbaannggg!



SPF 15 , which is a must in a hot climate
No chemicals
Great consistency
Great taste ( yes I do eat it!!!)
And makes my lips super soft!

I will be applying this stuff during my flight, and also while out & about on my holiday.
There really isn't too much I can rave about a lip balm, but if you are off on your holidays a lip balm is an essential & I truly rate  this one!

Be sure to keep popping back to my blog in the coming weeks , to see what I'm taking away with me on holiday.

What are your holiday  essentials , what can't you live without when on holiday!!!

A box of yum from the Devon soap company!

Who could resist this yummy box of loveliness???

They are both Cute & smell gorgeous!

I was recently sent this little box of bath melts by the Devon soap company from a little company called Aromatika & have been hooked ever since!


I adore the little box the bath melts live in & the bath melts themselves look like little cupcakes , almost good enough to eat!

As soon as their little home's lid is opened  the smell sensation is like something I've never smelt before . You can definitely smell the Shea butter , but the other scents of orange & juniper shine through too. Divine!

I never thought I would be so enthusiastic about a few little bath melts but these things are worth getting enthusiastic about!

In my bath I felt relaxed , but after somewhat energized from the citrus blast  & the  Shea butter had amazing effects on my skin. I didn't even have to apply a moisturiser after my bath as my skin felt so moisturised & soft.

I really recommend these cuties for a bath time treat & what fab little prezzies too. I'm pretty sure anybody would be happy to receive a box of these buttery melts to cook up a storm at bath time!!!

Go check them out!!!

My weekly skincare treat !


I think it's so important to keep up a good daily skincare routine, but also love giving my self & my skin a weekly or fortnightly treat! I feel it makes all the difference to my skin & I see great results just from using my favourite couple of products a few times a week.

I've mentioned Ishga  on my blog before ,they are the organic skincare products containing Scottish seaweed &  I'm falling more in love with their products each time I use them, Also the more I use them , the more my skin loves them & my skin just wants to shout out about that!

I was so lucky to be sent a box of Ishga goodies a few months ago & have loved every product I have tried out.
However my 2 seaweed favourites  have to be this very handsome couple!!!!



I know have talked about them before but wanted to remind you of their amazeness!

I use the Ishga face mask twice a week just 20 minutes before  I'm due to get into the shower.  I must admit the mask doesn't look to appealing & the smell is not fantastic either but it's a brown tub of goodness!!!
This face  mask contains a mix of all natural ingredients & I apply a good amount over my face & neck & leave it for 20 minutes before rinsing it off  during my shower.
  The face mask tightens very quickly & you almost feel like your face will crack if you smile, but after it's been washed off I can only describe my face as being squeaky clean ( literally) & very toned. My skin tone  almost immediately looks even, which is why I love this face mask so much.

I follow this face mask up with the Ishga nourishing face oil & it immediately soaks into my skin & softens my skin after the mask. The oil smells yummy & keeps my skin hydrated for hours after. This stuff does that you want it to & more & I'm sorry but I can't help telling you all about that!

The face mask is a treat my skin looks forward to each week & you could use the oil everyday if you wish, but I feel this combo works so well together that I keep the nourishing face oil as a special weekly treat too . I am pretty sure my skin knows this & laps up every last bit of oil , which leaves my face looking bright, toned & nourished. ...just what the doctor ordered!

What's your weekly skincare treat???

Cream of the crop

Happy Friday folks!!!

What a lovely Friday it is, especially when You are feeling confident about your skin & loving your new skin cream.

I was contacted a while back about trying out a new cream by the pink cow brand .  I decided long & hard before deciding to try out their cream & did a lot of research about this amazing company in New Zealand before giving the cream a go!

The pink cow company produce a skin care range that contains colostrum which is the cows first milk given to their babies  from happy , outdoor , grass fed New Zealand cows.
Colostrum gives the baby cows a kick start to their immune system & cell regeneration system which makes it a great natural ingredient to put on our human skin!!!



We aren't depriving the baby cows of this vitamin & mineral packed milk either as its only milked off  the mummy cows once the babies have finished drinking it & are taken away from their mums.

So what benefits does cow colostrum give to us as a human being!!???  Well......

It can limit the deterioration of our skin cells & slow down the aging process
Assist with cell growth & reproduction and finally
Regenerate tissue , including our  skin

So this amazing ingredient along with the other delectable blend of coconut oil,aloe, rice, orange & blueberry amongst other stuff is the perfect combo for our face & body!!!
It's 100 % natural & this is something that makes me smile!


The cream has a fantastic creamy texture ..just as you may imagine & is lapped up by my skin almost immediately . It smells divine too a very sweet smell but not over powering. I can definitely smell the blueberry & orange when applying it to my face & often find myself smelling my hands after applying it to  get a whiff of this milky yuminess!!!

I must say I am seriously loving this cream , I have had more compliments over the last 2 weeks since using this cream then ever before. I've got to say my skin is the best it's looked for a while . No big pores, no dull skin & a plumper than plump appearance , it also makes a great primer or base for my foundation.  I am so impressed & it really is worth raving about!!!!

I so recommend you pop by their website & read all about the upside down pink cow brand website!!!
Just click here to check out their milky goodness . I am positive you will love them as much as me !!!

Outback organics

I am a lover of all essential oils & am forever researching new oils for new purposes but a firm favourite of mine has always been tea tree oil

I have probably been using tea tree oil since my teens when the UK went all organic & natural with their beauty products & have found it helpful in every stage of my life!!!

During my teens I used tea tree oil on my spots & then incorporated it into my skincare routine , so you can imagine how excited I was to find this amazing all natural tea tree oil deodorant from a company I had not heard of before called outback organics!



I'm in the process of trying lots of new all natural deodorants after reading all about the bad stuff that our normal everyday deodorants contain & this little deodorant certainly packs some punch!!!!

I have been using this fresh scented deodorant for just over 2 weeks & it's certainly doing the trick during all this hot weather!!  The first few days I did whiff a little!!!!,  but I think this is quite normal when  you  are changing over from your nasty chemical loaded products to a more organic approach & now it's well & truly doing its job!!!!

The smell is very refreshing , but not too overpowering & is definitely a very unisex smell , so can be used by every body in the family. What I especially love about this deodorant is that it's not an overpowering scent of tea tree & you can still smell what ever gorgeous perfume you put on during the day!

The one thing I will say about this deodorant is that you have to let it soak into your skin before you get dressed. I have got dressed in a rush a few times when using it & have found it does not work so efficiently , so just take that little extra time in the morning for it to do its job!

Overall a fantastic deodorant from a great little company that definitely needs to be talked about a bit more. Pop over to their website as they have an array of all things tea tree & for £4.99 this deodorant is certainly worth a go!!
