At the beginning of summer last year, I went on a beautiful yoga retreat with my mum. The yoga instructor gave us each a tub of homemade moisturizer and homemade sugar scrub.

These eczema relief bath melts have been a lifesaver for me over the past year. I'm sure I'll write about this in more detail soon, but a couple of years ago I developed eczema out of the blue.

I love the really scary side of Halloween, but I seem to be drawn to children's crafts the most. These pom pom spiders are no exception - don't let the gloomy photos fool you - they're nothing short of adorable. The spiders are quick and easy to make, especially if you have a pom pom maker. Getting a pom pom maker changed my life. Seriously, they are so cheap, and you can wind the wool around without
