Happy weekend, beauties! Today’s post is a follow up on my last iHerb haul, after so many of you seemed to enjoy that post. It had a tonne of visits and I had a lot of great response from my picks. Given that I was spending some more time on iHerb today, I figured, hey, why not just do a round two? If you want to check out my shopping cart directly, you can see the link here.

Today’s post spans from the Ultra luxe (and effective) to the everyday lovelies. It’s a good mix of “a little bit of everything”, hope you enjoy. Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical {Read More}
Spiritual Beauty – The Latest Trends in Natural Beauty
Spirituality: A slightly unorthodox topic for a wellness and natural beauty blog, no? But hear me out. We are all energy and within that energy comes power – and that, my dears, is related to quantum physics (have a read of Deepak Chopra’s Ageless Body Timeless Mind to get the drift of what I mean here). Energy can be maneuvered around the body, and used as a ways to heal the body; age related skin damage included. While we may {Read More}

Cover Up, Naturally! LPN’s Pick on the Best Natural Concealers
A few weeks ago I received an email from a LPN reader asking for help. Funnily enough, she was facing the same product conundrum I had been facing for a long time: what is the best natural under eye concealer?! As an NBB (natural beauty blogger), I’ve had my fair share of product trials – and when it has come to concealer, I have been hunting high and low for the most effective product (that’s not even all of them pictured {Read More}
How to De-stress Naturally – LPN’s Top 6 Stress Relief Tips
I’m not sure what it is, but with every autumn comes transitions. Transitions towards longer workdays, less sleep and maybe even more broad life changes. I also find that during this time of year we try “to do it all” – for me that might mean getting to my yoga classes, maintaining some form of a social life, avoiding the seasonal cold or working on LPN when I can find the time. Now don’t mistake this for complaining; I feel very {Read More}
LPN’s Gluten Free & Vegan Chia Energy Biscuits
This week I’ll be hoping on a 17 hour flight. I love to travel, but I don’t love airplane food and I don’t love what long haul flights do to my skin- that is, my unprepared skin. When I travel one of the most important parts of my packing is food for the flight (along side a series of oils, creams and travel-sized spritzers). Whether it’s snacks and full meals, I plan ahead to ensure that I’m feeling nourished and {Read More}

Today I have a very special LPN interview with an absolutely incredible natural beauty: Megan Cannon.

LPN’s April & May Faves: Natural Beauty Love
This might be considered cheating — but I slammed April & May faves into one post this month. Why? Well, because life has been a bit crazy as of late and I haven’t been able to update as frequently as I would like. Excuses aside, summer is coming and I can’t wait to have a bit more time to tell you about all the wonderful goodness I’ve come across over these last few months. In today’s post, I’ll focus on {Read More}

Ayurvedic Natural Beauty: An Introduction to PRATIMA Skincare
Ayurveda. It’s no new topic to the pages of LPN. You might have heard about it before here, here, here and here (among a few other posts). While I won’t re-hash what Ayurveda is, I’ll give you a beauty-focused description from none other than the Queen of Ayurvedic beauty herself, Pratima Raichur: “A holistic science over 5,000 years old carries which carries a profound body of knowledge for understanding ourselves within the laws of nature. According to Ayurveda, each individual and {Read More}
