Gem's Beauty Paradise

Good morning 🌞

How is everyone?

Sorry I've been so quiet lately, there has been a lot going on!

Oh and to add to my list, I've decided to Walk 100km in September for Sands once again ❤️

First walk completed this morning 👣

I am doing the walk to raise awareness for a charity that has helped me since losing Leila last year 💜 I have already done the walk 100km in March for Sands this year, so any money raised this time around will be a bonus ❤️

I reached out to Sands after having a TFMR last year because our daughter had Edwards Syndrome... I really struggled with the decision we made and I did not know how to explain to people that we 'lost' Leila, because in my head we didn't lose her.. Sands helped me understand that we did lose Leila to Edwards Syndrome and I will never forget how their words helped me ❤️

Fife Sands also allowed us to have Leila's name added to a plaque in the baby garden where we had her funeral... This makes her feel real, like she did exist, and it gives us somewhere to visit when we need to feel close to Leila, and on special occasions such as her anniversary or Christmas etc..

I now volunteer for Fife Sands and want to help other people the way I got help when I needed it 💜

Feeling a bit self conscious sharing these photos, but this product is too good not to share my review! Plus one of the reasons I joined Oriflame was to push myself out of my comfort zone 🙂

I have let my skincare routine slip the last couple of weeks, and I am paying the price now with my skin having another breakout! It was really sore last night so I put some of this blemish gel on it about 10 last night before bed, and cannot believe the difference this morning - I don't think the pictures do it justice!

The gel has completely got rid of the pain, the inflammation has reduced and it's not as red in the area too! This was just within 9 hours! Because the pain was gone, I had actually briefly forgotten about the pain I was in last night and using the gel ☺️

Now this is a reminder that I must be rigerous with my skincare routine ❤️

So I know most of my product reviews have been hair care related recently, but as a Mum with 4 children to get ready in the morning, a quick and easy hair care routine, while looking after my hair is important to me! Also, with it being the Summer holidays, and me still on mat leave, I've only been doing my make-up like once a week 😂🙈

I once used to have to counter in an extra 2 hours on hair wash days to blow dry and straighten my hair, now that I've ditched my diffuser, my hair is done when I leave the shower ☺️

I bought the oil infused shampoo a while ago as a free delivery product, but hadn't used it until I ran out of my other shampoo and was waiting on a new delivery coming... I fell in love with the shampoo so much that I bought the conditioner and protecting hair oil too 😍

I used the combination of all 3 products for the first time this morning and my hair feels amazing 🤩

I have been meaning to do a product review on this for weeks...

Most of my hair care products are now Oriflame.. Now if they did a wave/curl defining product then it would be everything because everything I have tried so far I love 😍

I love this hair serum... I didn't have time to diffuse my hair a couple weeks ago so let it air dry (a year ago I would have never even dreamed of letting my hair air dry - it would have just been a frizzy mess 😭 it turns out you just need to find the right products... It's only taken me over 20 years to realise this 🙈

I haven't actually diffused/blow dried my hair since - I have found a lazier way to do my hair, so no heat on my hair at all and my hair feels great 🤩 I will probably revert back to diffusing in the winter months 😂

🌸 A protective hair serum to visibly reduce split ends, smoothing damaged hair fibres while treating and nourishing hair.

🏵️ Tames flyaways and dry, brittle ends, plus smooths frizzy hair

🌼 Leaves hair softer and protected, with a healthy glossy shine

The best part - it's currently on offer, down to £6.99 from £11.50 😍

I just love this shampoo and conditioner 😍

I stopped using my hair straighteners last September after nearly 20 years of daily use (only having used them a handful of times since, and not at all since I've had Isla).. instead I decided to try and embrace my natural waves and use a diffuser when drying my hair.. it's been a long journey in getting my hair healthy again, and the shampoo and conditioner play a big part in this!

My hair is very dry and frizzy - after using this shampoo and conditioner, my hair no longer feels like straw! I didn't even diffuse my hair yesterday and woke up today loving how soft my hair was 😍
