Hello TwixMas, that Chrimbo limbo time between Christmas and New Year 🤪

I heard on the radio this morning that today is Christmas leftover day. So tell me, do you have leftovers and how do you eat yours?

Happy Boxing Day to you

I hope Christmas Day was kind to you. Alex and I went to Leicester yesterday to spend the day with family, whereas today has been a chilled day relaxing at home. This afternoon, we headed off to Silverstone for The Lap of Lights and enjoyed the light and laser show.

I’d love to know what you’ve been up to, whether you have been out and about or just quiet one at home. Or maybe you’ve braved the cold to get out for a Boxing day walk 💕

Good evening to you on Christmas Eve Eve🎄

Are you sorted and ready for Christmas? Whether you are having a full on, festive, fun filled bonanza, or home alone, be kind to yourself.

Not everyone enjoys Christmas and this year will be super hard in my house hold, as we lost my husband earlier this year, so it will be me and my son, finding a new way to navigate the festive season.

Time to relax, decompress and share time together 💕

As we head towards the end of 2025 and in to a new year, I am going to make 2026 the year to concentrate on self care, gratitude and get back to reducing my single use plastic, and taking some time for me. I've not had much me time over the last couple of years, but with the worry of forever chemicals all around us, hormone disruptors and the scary fact that we ingest a credit card worth of plastic each year, time for a change. If you'd like to join me on my journey next year, come join my private group and let's work towards a healthy new year 💚

After this morning's video, I'm staying with essential lip care 💋

It's cold, it's wet and if your lips are dry and cracked, you absolutely need this one, so do your daughters! So come on, invest in beautifully soft, kissable lips this Christmas 💕

Stop picking or biting dry cracked lips, this little pot with gently exfoliate, soften and nourish your lips, so what are you waiting for? xx

ditch the vaseline ....

17/12/2025

Ever wondered what Vaseline is really made from?🤢

Brace yourself… because once you know, you might never want it near your skin again.

Let’s talk about fracking — yep, the same process used to drill for crude oil (the stuff that becomes petrol for your car 🚗)

Well, guess what? Petroleum jelly (aka Vaseline) is made from the leftovers of that process!

Here’s how it works:
👉 Crude oil is heated to extract liquid hydrocarbons.
👉 The thick, greasy residue left behind in the tank? That’s what becomes petroleum jelly.
👉 It’s then filtered through bone char (yes… animal bones ) and bauxite to remove the colour, smell, and taste.
👉 The result? A slick, scentless goo they sell for your lips and skin

No skin-nourishing benefits🚫 No vitamins 🚫 Just a cheap by-product that acts as a barrier – nothing more!

And have you noticed? That little label that used to proudly say “petroleum jelly” has mysteriously vanished from the front of the tub lately… hmm, wonder why?

Personally, I think the only barrier we need is one between this stuff and our bodies

I'll be sharing healthy, nourishing choices, so watch this space 💚
