Sun. Sea. Sunburn. Sweat. Sweat ‘tache. Not everyone’s summer skin has that gorgeous glow to it! I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin and over the years have managed to find out what really works for me in the changing seasons. And believe it or not, it’s…
Yiasas everyone! This video is all about the skincare routine I adopt when using all my natural Greek skincare products (usually when on holiday). Enjoy! Don’t forget to check out all the other videos on my YouTube Channel and hit subscribe!! 🙂 xoxo
I talk a lot on my blog about the hair on my head. Dark, thick and curly, it is a glaringly obvious trait of my half-Greek heritage. What I haven’t addressed is the other trait that was passed down to me from my Greek side: body hair. Which brings us…
Whilst out in Cyprus this year I was invited to the Charilaou Brothers warehouse in Nicosia to see the Olivolio Botanics Cosmetics range. The haircare and skincare products are made up of mostly natural ingredients including olive oil, argan oil, and all that good stuff.
As many of you may know, I have had a life-long love affair with the olive. It features heavily in my diet and often makes an appearance in my beauty regime. So when I came across Greek skincare company Olivolio, I was very excited to be given the opportunity to sample…
Aside from olive oil, Greece also produces some of the best beauty products in the world, including the well known brand Korres. Founded in 1996 in Athens by pharmacist Georgios Korres, the company create naturally based and partly homeopathic beauty products. I’ve started using a lot of their line in recent months…
I’m always on the lookout for new Greek beauty products but some of them are difficult to source unless you buy them directly from Greece or Cyprus. Whilst out in Cyprus last month I came across so many different new items so I’ve selected a few and found where to buy them…
I had the idea for this video about a year ago and I am so excited to finally share it with you all! My Greek jewellery pieces are very different from the everyday baubles and bangles I usually wear so I thought it would be fun to show you What’s in…
This week I opened up yet another magazine to see a picture of a celebrity flouncing around in a teeny weeny bikini ONE MONTH after giving birth. “HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!” you could hear readers screaming. Well the hard truth is – it is for some, and not for others.…
Yes people; terrifyingly I’m back with another VLOG and today it’s all about MY HAIR. Some of you may remember a post I wrote a while back How to Tame a Curly Greek Mane which was also featured on the Huffington Post. My haircare routine hasn’t really changed since then…
You may think that bathing like a Greek Goddess involves immersing oneself into a bath of olive oil a la Cleopatra without the milk. Personally I’ve never tried this. What I have tried are some lovely Greek bath/skincare products which hopefully will make you feel like a Greek Goddess and leave your…
As some of you may know I have long had an obsession with the evil eye /(mati) ‘eye’ – a curse believed to be caused by a malevolent glare. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury and that you can catch the matiasma, from someone’s…
I should really start off this post by saying that this skincare routine actually has nothing to do with pregnancy, or post-pregnancy – it’s just that it’s a new skincare routine that I’ve adopted since my second pregnancy (and actually during!) and one that I feel suits me even though…
In many of my posts, I often bang on about the benefits of olive oil. I use it in my food, on my hair and sometimes on my body (for that oh so lovely Greek salad glow). However, when it comes to the daily skincare regime for my face, I…
I LOVE fashion and in the 12th issue of STATUS Magazine I was asked to write an article about the trends of spring/summer 2014. Florals, prints, jewels and lace are all set to make their mark this year, so I’ve tossed out the black knitted jumper and primped my pastels…
