My minimalist vegan skincare.

Image
Hi all. A couple of years ago I was obsessed with makeup and cosmetics, I had to try every single product in the market, spending thousands of Pounds  every month for products that didn´t work for me. I have a lot of cleansers and soaps open at the same time, wishing that any of them will make a miracle (I have had acne my whole life), I have tried million of moisturisers, not to mention I was the queen of toner, exfoliators that I never used, and a couple of mask that when bad or out of date before I managed to open them. A complete disaster, and my skin was really bad even thought I expended that money on all those products. Then I changed to a vegan lifestyle and let me tell you that my skin has improved a lot, not to mention I downsized the amount of products to the basics. Those are the only products that I use on a daily basis, all are vegan and organic. Pretty simple but so effective! My skin has never been so good before.  I always begin and finis...

Minimalist haul in London

Image
Hi all, A couple of weeks ago I went to London for a couple of days. I can say that London is one of my favourites cities in the world, I try to go several times a year. Is always fun, you always have something new to see, places that you have never visited before... And a lot of shops! We all know the deal. As London is such a special place for me, I always tried to gather something that will remind me that trip. A piece of jewelry, a decoration, toys, etc. As I go several times a year, I don´t need to tell you how many "memories" I have from all my trips. But this time was different. For the last year I have been trying to minimize my life and  my material staff as much as I can. I want to be a real minimalist, as I have found such a peace and relief since I started. Is being a long process and I still have a long journey ahead, but I am really proud of how I have achieved. So of course when I went to London this time I was really into visiting new places, goi...

iHerb haul

Image
Hello guys. Finally I decided to try the famous online shop iHerb and I cannot be happier. Prices are really good (at least they are cheaper than other shops in Europe), they have thousands of reviews that help you choose the products (I already submitted my own reviews), products arrived in two weeks without any problem and so far, all the products that I have seen are vegan and organic. This is what I bought, basically essentials for me. First of all, my beloved deodorant Schmidt´s , in Ylang Ylang  & Calendula formula. I have been using this brand for 3-4 years now, is the best organic/vegan option I have found, and trust me when I say that I have tried almost everything you can buy in the organic deodorant´s section. They contain baking soda, so may not be for everybody. I have used most of their formula's, I was really in love with the Bergamot one, until one day my mum suggest me to use Ylang Ylang, what can I say, mums are always right LOL. This is now my ...

Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap

Image
Hi all!💚💚 When I decided to use only vegan, organic products in my routine, I was overwhelmed by the amount of products I had to replace. I am a cosmetic's geek, and I always had to try everything in the market. My bathroom was always full of products, until I discovered my beloved Dr. Bronner's soap. I always have seen a lot of people using it, but for some reason I never though it was the right product for me. Boy I was wrong! I use the soap bars exclusively to wash my body in the shower. I also use soap bars to clean my makeup brushes, but I try to use other brands (cheaper if may I say). On the other hand the liquid soap, I use it for everything!!!! From head to toe, I wash my hair, my body (if I don´t have the soap bar), my face, hands, clothes, dishes if needed, house cleaning, etc, I always take a small bottle with Dr. Bronner's liquid soap with me when I travel, and you have no idea how useful it is. One thing that I have learnt, is th...
