vegan celebration five

This time it's all about the fabulous Raw Gaia and their yummy living skincare. When raw foodie Lisa Lennon couldn't find a chemical free moisturiser to soothe her dry skin she started to experiment in her kitchen. She utilised the principles of her raw food diet to create a vegan skin cream, packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Lisa created the first ever 'living' skincare product, 'For Her Daughters Living Moisturiser', (£12.50 for a 60ml jar) handmade through a special low temperature process, using only organic cold-pressed butters and oils. Raw Gaia now sells a range of beauty products made with 100% organic, living and vegan ingredients. We like the selection of articles on their website about aging, detoxing the bathroom and the importance of deep sleep for radiant skin.

treats galore

My bundle of post this morning contained a beautifully wrapped parcel of delicate rosy treats for yours truly from the lovely Kate Logan. Channelling my favourite scent, rose, this selection of goodies is sure to teach my skin a thing or two about softness and dewiness (oh, please!). Her products bear a label that reads Handmade with Love and Kate uses plants from her garden to create some of her products. I am saving all this loveliness for after a yoga workout with Shiva Rea and a bath this evening - a rose skin tonic to kick off with that will restore everything to its natural balance, followed by calm facial oil with evening primrose, chamomile and lavender or perhaps the rose otto healing balm, which restores natural radiance. Hurrah!
