During the winter, I find it a little easier to let my leg hair get long enough for a wax. The problem with removing hair with the drugstore products (and even spa products, for that matter) is that they often contain toxic ingredients. Everything from chemicals that literally dissolve your hair, to the chemicals in that foamy shaving cream. And waxing, well wax often contains mineral oil, parabens, artificial fragrance compounds, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHT) and artificial colours. Needless to say, {Read More}

December 22, 2013 by 32 Comments

Living Pretty, Naturally: The 2013 Man-Fave Edition – Natural Products for Men
October 27, 2013 by 11 Comments
As a natural beauty blogger it is next to impossible to live with someone you care about dearly and watch them use chemically-ridden products… and for an outspoken gal like me, I admit it is – and was – impossible. Over the past few years I have been slowly (and maybe somewhat sneakily) replacing the bf’s products with natural ones. He’s now 100% natural when it comes to personal care products (with the exception of cologne, which he refuses to {Read More}

July 30, 2013 by 4 Comments
Summer. Ohh, summer. While it is one of my favourite seasons, I certainly am no sun goddess. In fact, it might be accurate to say that I am one of the least qualified people to speak on anything with regard to bronzing in the sun… I avoid it as much as possible – SPF, hats and shade are my summertime saviours. However, if there is one thing I’ve learned a thing or two about over the years, it is natural {Read More}
