An all natural Bubiroo treat for you (win win win)

8 Comments

Bubiroo is the latest in skincare for kids and it’s made right here in the Bay. We were very lucky that the person behind the brand, Dorae, decided to use the #ECMeetup as her brand’s first public appearance and introduce us to her ever growing product range. It was quite the hit and even those with no use for “baby products” loved it, as it’s been decided that the baby wax is great for lips and the baby shampoo makes an awesome makeup remover. Today I am giving away my favourite product in the range. THE HEALING BALM

We have been using the healing balm  as a family for the last couple of days and LOVE IT. Rob uses it as an after shaving balm, I use it on Aidan’s scrapes and scratches and have even used it on the extremely dry patches of skin between my eyes (I don’t know how this is a thing).

So I was rather excited to get the chance to ask her a few questions…I was expecting, “don’t wear this, wear that”, but instead, I got some”real talk” from a woman whose self-confidence shines through as strongly in an online interview as it does in a  bikini.

You decided to dye your natural hair…now what?

1 Comment

Can you dye your natural hair? Will you even be considered a natural after that? will you get kicked off all the groups and stripped of your detangling brush and coconut oil?

In all seriousness, I don’t really know what constitutes being a natural, in my book it’s no chemicals , no heat. and since I’m more low chemicals, minimal heat, I see myself as a bos kop/a curly girl/pro natural.
