Premier Inn Launches Purple sauce, Purple Sauce

As you know I adore purple so you can imagine how thrilled I was to receive this bottle of purple sauce from Premier Inn! Continue reading Premier Inn Launches Purple sauce, Purple Sauce

Most impressed that 40% of you on my instastories poll take as much of your body as you do your face. I sure as hell don't but I'm trying 😅⁠ Do you?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Currently diving in to @saintirisadriatica , a new natural skincare line, aiming to bottle bodycare bliss. Why should just your face get all the good stuff? Inspired by plants and traditions from the founder's Croatian heritage, the all natural, formulations contain actives, prebiotics ⁠and sustainably derived ingredients as if plucked from a sunny market in the Med - lemon, olive, honey, pomegranate (actually from food industry waste). There's also seaweed and mineral rich Flower of Salt harvested from the Dalmatian coast for all the sea goodness. So what’s in these chic green bottles? . .<press sample> 🌊 Energy Cleanse - non stripping, non foaming cleanser that can also be used on face. Zesty uplifting scent that will have you skipping out of the shower⁠⠀ 🌊 Every Body Wake Up Droplets - serum designed to brighten. Great after sun exposure for gentle exfoliation and contains Vitamin C so good as antioxidant boost, skin repair. Also feel a bit of firming action. 🌊 Every Body Serenity Salve - hydrating lotion (rather than salve imo) with a cooling sensation like a gentle sea breeze ideal for summer skin.⁠ In winter my Sahara shins will probably need an oil or balm on top. ⁠⠀ . Oh and there's a new f word in town.....fjaka....Swipe for definition. ⁠⠀ . ⁠⁠⠀ #wonderlustingbeauty #saintirisadriatica #greenbeauty ⁠#summerskincare #skinbliss #plantbasedskincare #fjaka #ingredientsmatter #smallbatchskincare #ecoluxe #consciousbeauty #indiebeauty #madeinlondon #cleanbeauty ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

Most FAQ recently in my DMs has been what SPF i use so thought I'd share here. SPF is tricky for me because 1. I'm allergic to key ingredients in the majority of chemical sunscreens which tend to be clear on dark skin⁠⠀ 2. Physical sunscreen with natural ingredients are zinc oxide or titanium based which are white powders = 👻👻👻 so Halloween nailed but not such a hot everyday look 😅. They're also mattefying which is great for oilier skin but not for my Sahara Dry self.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But I have found options that work hurrah. Here's what I'm currently using - none cause a reaction or Casparitis. ⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⁣⁠⠀ 🌞 @earthwisebeauty Farizad's Sun Veil Reflector. 100% natural zinc oxide and aloe based SPF powder that is mixed with oil to apply. Makes suncare almost more of a pleasing ritual than chore. Note that there's a learning curve to using it so might not suit all. I'll do a video demo. ⁠⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🌞 @larocheposay La Roche-Posay Anthelios Shaka Ultra-light Facial Sun Cream SPF50 - Caught my eye because it promised absolutely no stinging and also how can I resist something called Shaka. Ultra light, rubs in easily, and zero eye sting. ⁠⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🌞 @ultrasunuk Sports Gel SPF 30 (also comes in 20 and 50) - fave body SPF. This is a clear gel so invisible on the skin, applies like a dream and leaves skin looking glossy so no extra layer of moisturising required. Reef friendly too. And don’t forget the lips need protection too. ⁠⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ Also just finished Ultrasun’s Tinted Face in Honey. Blends in beautifully no ashiness. Fab as a one and done. The very deepest skin tones would probably need makeup over it. ⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ Not shown is @zelens Daily Defence SPF 30 which 've just finished. Lovely elegant texture, rubs in easily with no irritation or cast. ⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⁣⠀⁠⠀ Finally I’ve never been sunburnt though I know people with black skin who have. I carry the Ultrasun AfterSun (full of serious skin repairing ingredient like those used on hospital burn victims) for my Inner Mary Seacole as I ALWAYS spot people getting lobstered⁠. ⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⁣⠀⁠⠀ So what SPF do you use? ⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⁣⠀⁠⠀ #wonderlustingbeauty #protectyourmelanin #earthwisebeauty #ultrasun #larocheposay #brownbeauty #wocskincare

Currently obsessed with this strange beautiful purple plant I spotted for the first time this week. I see a Prince loving seahorse punk. What d’ya see? 💜💜💜 The internet tells me it’s called Phacelia tanacetifolia aka Purple Tansy aka Blue Tansy 🤔 aka Lacy Tansy aka Scorpionweed (my fave alias) and is amazing for soil regeneration and bees. . . . . #purpletansy #weekendvibes #beautyeverywhere #wildflower #summermeadow #ihavethisthingwithpurple

⁣Feeling hot hot hot? Perfect night for my skin to worship @earthwisebeauty sun god mask. ⠀ ⁣⠀ Sun kissing the back of your neck on a late summer evening strolling through a wildflower meadow in bloom with the grass just cut turning to golden hay. That’s where I’m transported each time I apply this mask. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣Crafted with some of mother nature’s finest healing plants including wild harvested wildflower pollen, flowers, adaptogenic herbs, clay and mushrooms. It gently helps skin regenerate. ⁣I almost want to drink it the smell is so mouthwatering - floral herbal tea meets malty. ⁣⠀ I used it on my Caribbean travels for repair after some serious sun action. Temperature in London tomorrow is forecast to be the hottest day EVER so I forsee myself delving in to this pot a lot. ⁣⠀ How d’ya plan to beat the heat? ⁣⠀ #wonderlustingbeauty #earthwisebeauty #greenbeauty #artisanskincare #summerskincare #conciousbeauty #sustainablebeauty #ecoluxe #skincareroutine
