Social media is a place where trends move quickly, and I tend not to notice them. This one, however, caught the attention of my algorithm. Over the past few months, I have been continuously served with a flurry of beef tallow skincare products – specifically one from NX1 project (what used to be Notox Skincare), which was founded by Adam Ashe, a Scottish international rugby player and co-founder of ProSport.  Afterwards, I was bombarded with adverts for similar products, and it appeared that beef tallow skincare products had gone viral on TikTok. My feed was swarming with Sunbird Collective & Ela Skincare – to Ancestral Cosmetics and Summer Solace Tallow. …

Social media is famous for generating fads out of nothing. It’s what it does.  But, other trends endure since they resonate with something more profound, like our perception of ourselves and others. One such viral phenomenon is the concept of being “bunny pretty,” “cat pretty,” “deer pretty,” or “fox pretty.” You’re not alone if you’ve ever been called one of these, or heard it on TikTok and questioned its meaning. Though they may seem adorable and arbitrary, the words have more behind them. One face shape and expression at a time, they are part of a rising discussion on beauty, identity, and our relationship with the world. So, what are…

As you know, we’re all about health, wellness, and living a balanced life, that’s why it’s time we highlighted one of the most overlooked parts of the body. Every dentist will tell you that dental care and oral health are essential to overall well-being and maintaining a good quality of life, so why do so many of us turn a blind eye to it? In our experience, it often comes down to a communication gap between dentists and patients. Dentists know what needs to be done, patients quickly fall back into old habits after an appointment, and oral health continues to decline. With this in mind, we’ve created a handy…

Published by Finn Hayden Most of us are very careful about what we ingest, often trying hard to avoid any artificial ingredients or anything which isn't natural in our foods.  So it's interesting that many of us don't apply the same thinking when it comes to products that we apply to our skin, such as soaps. If you take a look at the ingredients which are used in most of the soaps stocked on supermarket shelves, you'd probably be shocked at the things which many companies pack into these products. Luckily, for anyone wanting to avoid these unpronounceable ingredients in their soap bars, there are lots of brilliant natural soap…

Published by Finn Hayden Most of us are really careful about what we put in our mouths, and if we know that food is filled with ingredients that we can't pronounce, then generally we'll probably avoid it. But it's interesting that despite most of us brushing our teeth twice per day (you do brush twice per day, right?), we don't seem to care as much about the ingredients in our toothpaste. If you've never looked at the back of a toothpaste packet then you're in for a shock - there are some big words on there. Luckily, for anyone wanting to avoid these unpronounceable ingredients in their toothpaste, there are…

My mother always said that an electric toothbrush is the height of laziness so I have only recently started to truly understand what I have been missing after all of these years. Not only are they way more effective at removing plaque and cleaning those hard-to-reach places, but they are also easier to use for those with limited mobility, they cause less waste and are kinder to your gums. Most of the best electric toothbrushes are equipt with timers, and settings which focus on different parts of the mouth and we've found some that come with an app. So you don't need to fight your way through thousands of options…

Published by Finn Hayden Most of us use shampoo every week, but we often don't give much thought to the product we're putting in our hair. If you take a look at the back of your normal shampoo bottle, you might be shocked by the endless list of ingredients that you can't even pronounce. Luckily, there are some excellent natural shampoo products out there which aren't packed with rubbish but still do great things for your hair. We wanted to highlight the best natural shampoos you can buy in the UK at the moment, let's get into the list:     Faith in Nature Of all the brands included in…

As we age, things get a bit weird with our bodies. Everything we have taken for granted over the years starts to droop, wrinkle and fade away. For women, the big ringing bell telling us how old we are is the start of the Menopause. There is a lot of hype and fearmongering about what happens when the Menopause comes into town and one of those issues is oily, menopausal hair. Yes, sadly it does exist, but you'll be thankful to know that there are a few ways to mitigate the greasiness caused by your hormonal outburst. We will run through a few things proven to reduce the appearance of…

Today, for the first time I decided to 'enhance' my Friday evening me-time. Like millions of people, I like to get into a warm bath with some essential oils, put my facemask on and a nice glass of red wine. I really need it to feel human after a super stressful week of dealing with clients, and my boss. A friend of mine had suggested that I try putting CBD into the bath. With a wink and a nudge she said it has 'mary-jane' in it. We've tried CBD before (you can see what we think are the best CBD brands in this list), but never considered a CBD bath…

If you've been listening to any guru-type podcasts recently, you've probably heard people talking about the benefits of cold showers. And if you're anything like me, you've probably rolled your eyes as the host lists off vague benefits such as "toughens you up" and "makes you feel great". Sure, cold showers can make you feel this way and there is nothing wrong with that (I take them all the time for this reason) but is there actually any scientific evidence that cold showers can benefit you, and what do cold showers do for your hair? Let's look at what the science says: Cold shower studies  So we should start by…
