All things well

I love my Miessence hair care system!  At the age of 43 I have finally come to terms with my curly locks.  I have given up trying to change the look, the straightening irons are gone and the curly, often dry with a tendency to frizziness, brown (with more than a hint of grey now!) mop is here to stay.  I have actually grown to really love my hair and have let it grow as a result of this.  It is longer than it has ever been and I am loving that experience too.  Definitely reflective of a more accepting attitude to self.  One of the blessings of moving into middle age – and there are many, I’m discovering =) (more…)

With a mother who has Alzheimers (and her mother before her) I know that I have a higher than average chance of developing the disease in later years. But genes are only a part (perhaps a small part) of the overall risk factors. Here are ten things anyone can do to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimers: (more…)

Last week, when I wrote about what I love about my certified organic skincare products and routine, I realised that there is a lot more that I absolutely love about the Miessence range of products.  So, here is another blog entry!

I absolutely love the Miessence makeup range.  When my Bodyshop foundation ran out, I went looking for something that was natural.  It was quite a hunt, as so many products are not what they say they are.  One atom of carbon allows something to be called “organic”  Can you believe it!  It can be full of carcinogenic parabens and other nasties and still be labeled “organic”  My internet research yielded the Miessence cream foundation, certified organic to food standards and with absolutely no nasties.  I was really excited.  I use the foundation in conjunction with Miessence’s powder, the two work together as both are semi-luscent.  It just evens out that English, slightly “ruddy” complexion of mine and I wear it most days, sometimes along with the eye-liner and mascara which are also gorgeous and completely CHEMICAL FREE!   Nobody knows I have makeup on – it is all very natural looking.

I have recently got quite into their lipies too.  Did you know that women consume most of what goes on their lips?  So, who would want to walk around with carcinogens ready to be licked off?  I absolutley love the fact that I can wear makeup, enhance my confidence, revel in my femininity and be completely safe and healthy.  LOVE IT!
