How To Fade Surgery Scars

I believe that our scars are beautiful. They tell a story and show our strength. I am proud of my surgery scar. It shows a huge part of my life and set me on a path to find my passion in health and wellness.

After surgery my surgeon gave me some great tips on how to take care of my scar and help it heal. Now my scar is hardly visible. The area is still sensitive but I think that is just how it will be from now on. It's not unbearable but does get a tickle from time to time. 

In this video I share what has helped me and I show the products that I have used. Click on the link below to watch.

Lunette Menstrual Cup Review - Do They Really Work?

Environmental sustainability is becoming a phrase we are hearing more and more in our everyday lives. With the recent push for consumers to be more environmentally conscious we are seeing a wave of old everyday items being reinvented to help minimise waste and consumption. 

A company leading the way in reusable feminine hygiene products is Lunette. 

Founded in Finland by Heli Kurjanen, Lunette was created for the safety, ease and comfort of all women. With a message of female liberation, Lunette has found international success. 

Many women across the globe do not have access to feminine hygiene products.

Lunette has teamed up with many charities to help give women a voice and access to cups.

Read about how Lunette are giving back here:

Giving Back With Lunette

So let's talk about the benefits of making the switch to menstrual cups.

Environmentally Friendly - Making the switch will benefit the planet. No plastic, no cotton, no waste!

Savings - Menstrual cups are reusable so the more you use them the more money you save. The average women spends about $200 a year on feminine hygiene products. One menstrual cup will last you years. Think of all that money you will save!

Non-Irritating - they do not cause dryness or irritation. Cups are made from medical grade silicone so are safer to use than rayon or bleached cotton tampons (yes you read that correctly...BLEACHED!) Who wants to be putting something that has been bleached into the most absorbent part of your body? NOT ME! 

Lunette menstrual cups come in 2 sizes. The silicone is super flexible and easy to fold. This makes them easy and comfortable to use. The cup is held in position by a seal that is formed when inserted. There is a stem at the bottom that can be used for removal or trimmed for more comfort. Inserting and removing is a little more invasive than standard feminine hygiene products however with practise you will see that they are easy to use. The environmental benefits alone are enough to make the switch if you ask me.

DIY Natural Deodorant - 3 Ingredient Recipe

I am so conscious of what I put on my body. There are so many harmful chemicals in everyday products that can be purchased at the store. After being diagnosed with a thyroid disorder I decided to take matters into my own hands and eliminate as many toxins from my home as possible. 

Everything we put on our skin is absorbed into our blood stream. The chemicals used in many beauty products have been linked to diseases and health conditions. 

I love making my own beauty products as it gives me the control over what I am putting on my body.

This easy DIY natural deodorant recipe works a charm. It's fun to make, lasts all day and smells great.

I hope you have fun creating your own blend.

Resibo Smoothing Face Serum Review

Resibo is a new brand to both me and the Australian market. It is a Polish brand based on eco-friendly and natural ingredients. With the weather becoming cooler my skin was in need of some serious hydration. My current skin concerns have been dullness, acne scaring, dryness and fine lines. When the Resibo Smoothing Skin Serum landed on my desk I was super intrigued to give it a try.

So why is Resibo so special?

Resibo specialises in skincare that is natural and delivers amazing results to the skin. After using it only once I noticed my skin looked more youthful, smooth and bright. After a week of using it both day and night my acne scarring had vanished, I had smoother skin and my skin looked radiant and youthful. 

The ingrediants act after only 24hrs and relieves muscle tension, prevents facial lines and smooths the skin. It stimulates the skin to release beta-endorphins which relaxes the skin and reduces existing wrinkles. It helps the skin to regain it's density and look fuller and firmer. The serum helps with acne, acne scarring and can also help to prevent blemishes.

Best of all it is sutable for all skin types. The ingredients are powerful enough to give instant rsults but also gentle enough for senistive skin. 

What I love about Resibo Smoothing Skin Serum...

○ The smell! It has the most beautiful smell like essential oils. 

○ Instant results. I know a product is working when I wake up and can see a difference.

○ The feeling of the oil. I love face oils. I use them everynight. This oil felt different to other oils I have used. It was thick but soaked into my skin straight away. It didn't feel oily or sticky. 

○ The glow it gives my skin. It gives the same fresh glow you get after a facial.

○ The reduction in my red acne scarring. I can't even see it anymore and the skin around the acne area has become smooth.

All of the reviews I have read about Resibo products have been positive and I can see why. This product is truly fantasic and the results are real.

Inside The Filorga Blogger Launch

Last week I was treated to a lovely breakfast for the launch of Filorga's new range. It was held at the beautiful Jumeirah Zabeel Saray on Palm Island in Dubai.

I am already a HUGE fan of Filorga. I was so excited to see a new face oil was being launched. You must know that I only talk about products that I actually LOVE and use. I have been using Filorga products in my daily skincare routine for quite some time now.

The launch was to promote the new Absolute Range. I have been using Oil-Absolute for the last week and am absolutely loving it. So what does it do?
- Nourishes
- Firms
-Smooths
-Illuminates
-Evens Out
-Refines

Oil-Absolute contains 4 precious oils (Burti, camellia, jojoba and apricot) to rejuvenate the skin. I can already see an improvement in my skins texture and hydration after just 1 week!

My daily skincare routine with Filorga
After cleansing in the morning I use the NCTF Intensive Serum followed by the NCTF Reverse Creme. In the evening after my shower I use the Oil-Absolute all over my face and neck. I then finish off with the Eyes-Absolute eye cream.

So how was breakfast? The food was so delicious. There was a fantastic selection healthy and sweet treats to choose from. I also enjoyed a lovely cup of green tea - my favourite. What more could you want for breakfast  

What I like about Filorga is that it is giving me instant results. All of the products are light and non greasy. They do not have a strong fragrance but do have a soft and pleasant scent. Best of all they do not test on animals. A total win if you ask me.
Special thanks to Tish Tash for inviting me to this lovely event.

Transform Your Lashes With Nouveau Lashes x The Dollhouse Dubai

Who doesn't want thick and long lashes. I know I do! I have never thought of my natural lashes to be any of these things. I coat them in layer upon layer of mascara daily to get even the slightest lift and length. 

When I was invited along to try the Nouveau Lashes treatment at The Dollhouse Dubai I was very intrigued. LVL stands for length, volume and lift...sounds good to me! The 4 step process is applied to your natural lashes and takes 40 minutes. LVL Enhance straightens your natural lashes at the root giving them the most beautiful lift. Best of all it's gentle on your lashes so is suitable for everyone and the results last 6-8 weeks.

After the treatment I could not believe the results. My lashes have never looked so long and full. I thought this could only be achieved by having eyelash extensions but no, LVL gave me a fresh doll eyed look. I had no irritation or discomfort and the technicians were fast and made me feel comfortable.  

If you are after a natural VS Angel look than this is the treatment for you. It makes you look effortlessly fresh and glamorous. I am absolutely hooked and am so happy with the results. 

Thank you to Tish Tash for inviting me to the lovely event.

Re Salons Spas Anti-Ageing Keratin Treatment

My hair has been extra dry lately. I think it is a combination of having hypothyroidism, being in air conditioning 24/7 (it's summer in Dubai right now so the weather is extra hot...I'm talking 50 degrees hot!) and also I find that the water in Dubai has a high level of chlorine in it.

Ros Skincare Review

When winter comes around my skin always needs some extra care. It seems to become dry and lack hydration. I recently tried Ros Skincare and noticed a great improvement in my skin.

Ros Skincare is chemical and cruelty free. Two things that are very important to me when it comes to beauty products. Bio active botanical ingredients have been used to created beautiful skincare that not only replenishes the skin but also protects it from future environmental damage. 

A huge bonus is that the range is unisex. I actually really love that about the products. My nightly skincare routine was extra fun as I could share the products with my husband! The smell is fresh but sweet and the packaging is so chic. I think they would make the best gift for a couple.  

A favourite of mine from the range is the Botanical Cleansing Milk. My skin felt soft like velvet after using it. I have been teaming it with the Advanced Rejuvenating Serum and Stem Cell Moisturiser with Argan Oil.

Ros Skincare has a vast range of products to cover all skin types and concerns. I really feel they have put a lot of thought and care into creating the products and have absolutely nailed the line. The prices are fantastic, the packaging has a very luxurious feel and the product itself feels amazing on the skin and contains a variety of natural ingredients such as aloe vera, shea butter, avocado oil, green tea and kakadu plum. 

Ros Skincare is available online at:

Naturelle Cosmetics' Royal Coffee Scrub

Lavender and mint are 2 of my favourite scents so finding the two in an organic coffee srcub is a total win for me. Together the two oils can help with acne, athletes foot, burns and itches. Royal Coffee Scrub will gently exfoliate and sooth the skin leaving it soft and smelling delicious.
