I have been using my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish forever, but I am always open to trying different skin care options - especially with some anti ageing benefits.  I had seen Lumity advertising but not taken much notice but when they contacted me to ask if I would like to receive a press sample pack (gifted) I thought I would give it a go.  They sent me their 4-in-1 Cleanse, the Skin Nutrients Facial Oil and a 7-day supply of the Morning & Night soft gel supplements.  These are available as a Travel Pack and are ideal for trying before you buy the full size, it would make a lovely gift or of course to take on holiday!

​So what did I think?

You will have noticed that I am slowly, very slowly, looking for more eco-friendly and sustainable options in my life, it is a gradual process and one that won't happen overnight.  Decluttering my house and my wardrobe in particular has been a recent project.  Buying less, shopping my wardrobe and researching sustainable brands is all part of the process.  My favourite shampoo can now be refilled if I save the bottles, all baby steps.  So when I was contacted by 'Wild' recently about their Kickstarter campaign I decided it was one I should look at closer - an eco-friendly and natural deodorant that actually works!?  And I really like supporting the smaller brands - especially with a focus on sustainability.

I recently decided to upgrade my hair removal method, after years of shaving and having to keep on top of it every couple of days, I decided to look into body sugaring, waxing and also laser hair removal.   But I remember from my limited past experience of waxing that it can be painful and a little embarrassing.  However I am braver now and I want to feel fabulous and make life a bit easier.  My enquiries led me to decide on the body sugaring / sugar wax hair removal method.

I had a chat with Lucie who runs her own salon from her home in Maidenhead - L&A Evolution to understand more about body sugaring.  This method is based on an ancient technique that also nourishes the skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth, like a natural exfoliation.  It is less painful than waxing and is therefore particularly suitable for more sensitive areas.
