How to Marie Kondo your makeup and skincare

I’m a bit of a hoarder. There I’ve said it and I’m out. I love tying up the bits of ribbon that come off parcels, and pretty boxes never seem to get thrown away. I’m a sucker for a tin – cake, biscuit, tea, notecard. I have a collection of empty Arbonne Genius Bottles – you know those little tiny bottles with the Phytinol (Vitamin A) in them that literally takes your skin to another level, which I regularly use to display garden flowers.

Using essential oils in the home

Aromatherapy can help create a calm and soothing home environment, so often essential to our fast paced lifestyles. But where do you start? I studied aromatherapy 20 years ago but like so much of my holistic practices and approaches to wellbeing that I kept up in my 20’s and early 30s I somehow let it go. Forgotten, my diffuser lay unused except for medical emergencies when one of us had a cold or breathing difficulties that I knew only steam and aromatherapy oils would calm. Now in my 50s I’ve returned to aromatherapy as an effective way of treating anything from a general uneasiness with the

Skincare secrets for the under 30s

Summer sun, wind and, if you’re in the UK, rain can wreak havoc on our skin. I know as before I learnt about more natural skincare and reduced the chemicals in my products and diet I always suffered with dry skin and even eczema. But by far the most difficult area for me to get to grips with was my lips. Lots of people suffer with dry, chapped, lips in the winter, but for me the summer, with its shift in temperature, has always been just as bad. I thought it was something I simply had to put up with until now. This summer one of my Arbonne team mentioned her favourite product and it quite
