HAPPY SPRING EQUINOX EVERYONE 🌿
I was listening to a podcast recently about research in neuroscience showing how scent is directly linked to the brain and nervous system, and how quickly it can shift how we feel. It’s because smell goes straight to ...

Marionette lines—also known as the disappointment lines in Traditional Chinese Medicine—tend to become more visible after 40.

I so rarely post about this deodorant… and honestly, I don’t know why — because it’s really that good.
Handmade in Devon using only natural and organic ingredients, this White Rose & Lotus deodorant is one of those products that quietly does its job...
Hi 👋 I’m Sakina!
It’s been a while since I reintroduced myself, so I’ve updated my introduction carousel.

Let’s talk about these Facial Cups!
You won’t find these gems on Amazon or Ebay because they are unique. I’ve received SO many nice testimonials in the last three years. Unique flexibility, size and velvet feel.
Even Poosh (the magazing from K.K.)...
