Empties – Would I Repurchase?

I’ve been wanting to write an empties post for a while now, but had only had a couple of bits here and there I had finished. I swear I’ve run out of nearly everything recently, so I’ve got lots of products to share with you today. Personally, I love empties posts as they show what people really…

Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask: First Impressions

Quite possibly one of the most exciting beauty releases that’s come my way lately is the new Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask.

Does Dairy Free Help Acne?

It’s been over two months since I committed to a full dairy-free diet. For the most part, sticking to the dairy free diet has been really easy.

What’s Really In Your Deodorant?

When swapping to natural products, one of the most important things to switch first is your underarm deodorant. Before I switched, I had always been using a traditional roll-on, and I had known it was bad for me, but just wasn’t sure of the natural options. When I discovered how many options there were, I really kicked…

Changing My Diet and Dealing With Hormonal Acne

For the past couple of months I’ve been doing some trial and error with my diet. The reason for this initially was that I was always feeling heavy and bloated in the tummy, and my stomach would gurgle continuously. I knew there must be something in my diet that was causing this issue, as it hadn’t been…
