Vegan & cruelty free make up in Hong Kong ??

For once, this post won’t talk about essential oils. Going back to more natural skincare is a whole process and although I make my skin and body care myself, I don’t create my own make-up. As such, I am constantly looking for natural make-up which is not easy in Hong Kong and because I was struggling for a while, I have decided to put together a list of products that you can find either in-store or online.
I will focus only on make-up in this article, but bear in mind that there are wonderful Hong Kong-based brands creating clean skincare products! Continue reading “Vegan & cruelty free make up in Hong Kong ??”

Managing emotions with essential oils

It happens to all of us, often or not: we are walking in the street, in a park, on the beach, and suddenly there is a scent in the air that brings us to a happy place or evokes good memory: the perfume of a person passed by in the street, the smell of cooking sneaking through an open window, a flower in a park, the fragrance of a body cream, etc. Instantly, we breathe in deeply, slow down or even take the time to stop and take a few seconds to enjoy the moment.

Hair routine

Hi everyone!

For my first post, I have chosen to talk about my hair routine.

I am like everyone else, I have a hate/love relationship with my hair. Some days I don’t know what to do with it and I just want to cut it shorter, and at the same time I will cry if the hairdresser cuts more than 0.5 mm…

That said, I like my hair to be healthy, voluminous and shiny. It took me a long time to find a routine, especially since I moved to Hong Kong where the water is different, the pollution level is higher and the sun is obviously stronger than my home country, Belgium.
