Hello and Welcome to my Blog! I have much to share and I hope to develop and expand my knowledge, and yours, on all that is Natural and Green Beauty. I thought that I would share details of how I discovered the wonders of natural beauty, and how I undertook the task of gradually switching over everything in my house from mainstream and toxic laden, to natural, botanically derived and environmentally friendly. It has been one of the most inspiring, wonderful experiences I have ever undertaken, and I have loved every minute of it! I have discovered so many amazing brands, and been fortunate enough to have made some really genuine and important relationships with many strong beautiful and clever creators and other green beauty advocates. I have hopes to introduce a new element to my blog called "Behind the Beauty" were I will get in-depth and personal with many of these strong go getter creators! I'm very excited! I began my journey into natural in between having my two children. I was always super aware that some brands were highly toxic, such as Johnson and Johnson and I never allowed these brands into my home. So I was certainly choosing what I thought was the better option, but did not really understand the plethora of ingredients out there. It was all too confusing! But I found it also interesting! So after my second baby, I took myself back off to school to get my Diploma of Beauty Therapy, which included subjects such as cosmetic chemistry, skin biology and nutrition, which helped me do my own research on products and what was both good and bad for my family. So I started off doing small things, mostly in area's such as my skincare, deodorants and products for my boys bathtime. Then as I researched obsessively I began to switch over my make up. I had already been using only cruelty free, so I just needed to step my game up and move completely to natural! It helped that there were so many amazing websites such as Nourished Life and I Am Natural Store to guide my way. So next came hair care, nail care, oral care and laundry care. So much CARE! Going slowly is the key, doing your research, asking questions and getting samples! Nobody wants to spend a fortune on a product that is not right for them. I hope I can be of some help in this instance. Please check out my "Hello Favourites" tab, here I have added my tried and true brands and I believe all of these brands and distributors are environmentally conscious, with beautiful ingredients, and have products that work. Most are Australian, as I will always purchase Australian whenever I can. So follow me as I delve even further into the world of green beauty. If its ethical, local and luxe then I want to know! So much love to you all. Brooke Hello Skin
