25.01.2022 HAPPY SATURDAY BEAUTIES Shout out to @katewhite9874, thanks for the beautiful feedback

24.01.2022 Are you in need of a health and fitness reboot because I certainly am. Isolation here in Melbourne has me eating and drinking too much and Im not sure if youre like me, but I know for a fact that Im happier, more relaxed and more productive when I have some sort of routine in my life habits that I do everyday to keep me sane. 2020 has been a bit of a cluster but instead of writing it off, best to make the most of whats left and get on with things. How many of the 9 healthy habits above do you do each day? Let me know belowIm currently sitting at 5 @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

23.01.2022 Everything humans have needed to survive, and thrive, was provided by the natural world around us: food, water, medicine, materials for shelter, and even natural cycles such as climate and nutrients Take papaya for example. Not only does it taste amazing, its full of skin loving benefits. Its exfoliating repairing and... hydrating. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles, regulates collagen productionevens skin tone and removes dead skin. Pretty cool hey. Definately no need for all that artificial stuff!!

23.01.2022 Just a Mama and her Babe The bond between a mother and her babies is such a beautiful thing. This past year as a new mum, I have learnt (and still struggle) to deal with the fact that I have no quality time for myself anymore. Chasing my own dreams has been set aside to raise a stubborn, yet cheeky little girl who already knows too much. Everything aside, there is nothing I wouldnt do to make sure this little devil has a smile on her face everyday.... Whats the hardest thing you have found being a mum?

23.01.2022 Why is it so important to cleanse morning and night? Washing your skin every evening is so much more than just a way to remove post-work makeup. Even if you don’t wear makeup, it’s very important to wash your face with a cleanser. An evening cleanse is not only incredibly important to allow for the skin to repair itself from the ravages of the day but also to improve your overall skin health. Certain physiological changes in the skin occur overnight and surface impurities wou...ld prevent the skin from regenerating, since the skin requires the oxygen found in a clean face to do so properly. Going to sleep without cleansing would deprive the skin of this vital nutrient and generate free radicals. Cleansing your face of all the impurities in the morning is also beneficial due to the natural recovering and exfoliating process that occurs whilst you sleep. Cleansing your face when you wake helps to remove any toxins, dead skin cells and excess oils the skin may secrete overnight. Balancing the skin and providing a fresh surface for the start of the day allows for better penetration of skincare products and provides the skin with the full benefits.

22.01.2022 How does our repairing serum repair your skin? Banksia Flower and Milk Thistle contain anti-ageing, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Elderflower helps to soften and smooth the skin, has anti-inflammatory and anti-wrinkle properties and is nutrient and antioxidant rich.... Jacaranda which is antibacterial, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps to firm and plump and aids in the treatment of skin conditions like psoriasis. Does your skin need some soothing TLC? #sensitiveskin #allnaturalskincare #allskintypes #australiannaturalskincare #antioxidants #antiageingskincare #skinrenewal #skinfood #skinhealth #melbournemade #veganskincareproducts #skincareluxury

20.01.2022 Honestly, Im not vegan, but gezz I wish i could be. I can make a kick ass eggplant schnitzel though Makeup and skincare however, thats a different story. These are my non negotiable must haves. Why? Well heres why Our skin absorbs up to 60% of the products we apply to it its a scary thought if those products are synthetic, processed and full of preservatives, chemicals and toxins. If youre going to clean up your diet for the same reasons, why not make your beauty cab...inet healthier too? Vegan beauty products are produced without harm to animals (i.e. cruelty-free) and they also dont contain any animal ingredients, animal by-products or animal-derived products. The truth is, without animal ingredients, vegan products are actually better for your skin, especially if youre someone with sensitive or condition-prone skin. Animal ingredients can be harsh and clog pores, so vegan products are a soothing alternative. Whats more, the plant-derived ingredients in many vegan formulas contain more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to repair and hydrate the skin. You feel far healthier if you eat foods in their natural state and the same logic applies to skincare. Your skin will thrive off being fed natural, vegan ingredients.

20.01.2022 YEAH IT IS!! Whats been your favourite decade? When have you been your fittest, strongest, healthiest and happiest? I choose late 20s early 30s. Lots of love, laughter, happiness and travels

16.01.2022 INTELLECTUAL SELF CARE In a previous post I wrote about the importance of emotional self care. Today, its intellectual. As there are different types of self-care, depending on your particular need at the time, you may find yourself seeking a specific type more than others. Often neglected, this type of self-care includes doing something you enjoy that nourishes and challenges your mind. It expands your knowledge.... Intellectual self-care can involve figuring out what your current talents/strengths are and developing them further. It can also include learning a new skill. SOME IDEAS: Reading a book Completing a puzzle Learning a new language Taking a course on something that interests you Watching a documentary on a topic youre interested in How do you train your intellectual mind?

16.01.2022 Do you suffer from sensitive skin? Our rich creamy cleanser rapidly soothes sensitive skins whilst gently removing daily pollutants, excess oils and makeup. Enriched with milk thistle, an ancient herb with anti-inflammatory properties will help reduce redness and rosacea. This cleanser will comfort delicate complexions leaving skin soft and glowing. Beautifully scented with Jasmine, Patchouli and Chamomile.

15.01.2022 Blah blah blah, you know what sometimes life is hard. Actually most of the time life is hard, the rest of the time, were just hiding the fact that weve got things totally under control. Well thats how I feel with a 15 month old anyway. Some days just getting out of bed is what I call being a successful woman. Remember, dont compare yourself to others, you do you, get yourself out of bed and the rest shall follow. To my Melbourne friends, on Sunday, we find out if we only have one week of hard lockdown to go. If you need to vent, chat to a stranger, or need a virtual hug, DM me. We are all in this together

14.01.2022 SELF CARE IS A BIG DEAL As a mum myself, I know how hard it is to find time for yourself. If its not my daughter needing something from me, its my partner. If its not him, its the dog. Regularly taking the time, even in small and simple ways, to nurture and take care of yourself is crucial to your well-being.... And, no, its not selfish. The more you nurture yourself, the better you are at supporting others. Emotional self-care is about becoming more in tune with our emotions. Its about checking in with yourself, becoming more mindful of your triggers and thinking patterns, and finding ways to work through them, rather than bottling them up inside. Its okay to cry, to laugh, to feel angry its okay to feel exactly the way you are feeling. Emotional self-care helps you learn to have more compassion for yourself and your emotions. Some ideas can include Journalling - writing down our feelings can help us better understand them Practicing mindfulness and meditation learning to be more present Setting more boundaries its okay to say no Being creative express your emotions through painting, writing, cooking, etc Starting a gratitude journal focusing on what youre grateful for can sometimes help put things into better perspective Working on changing your negative self-talk practice replacing the negative with positive self-talk How do you practice self care?

10.01.2022 Having skin your comfortable in is achieved from a balance in all aspects of life not just from what brand you choose to put on your face. The body loves balance which is why I think its important that we remember we glow from the inside out When we are getting enough sleep, our cells are hydrated and we nourish ourselves with good food, we start to feel amazing. Our body functions as it should. When we protect the skin from damaging UV rays, cleanse the daily dirt and grime... away and when we apply a beautiful nutrient packed serum,(I just added that one in there cause who doesnt love a good serum) only then do we see the real beauty and start to feel comfortable in our own skin. Whats your number 1 tip for achieving beautiful skin?

09.01.2022 Do you use face serums? I am in love with our Vitamin A serum from our mature range. Yeh my skin feels great afterwards but the smell gets me every time. Frankincense, Rose Geranium and Ylang Ylang leave me feeling like Ive just been to a day spa. Vitamin A does wonders for the skin and skin benefits are endles. Vitamin A improves density of dermal collagen by being readily absorbed by the skin. Vitamin A stimulates production of new skin cells and as a result increases col...lagen production for fuller, firmer, and younger looking skin. This I definitely need! Vitamin A improves skin elasticity, tone, texture and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin A helps thicken the skin to improve fine wrinkling. Finally, it can improve conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties which help in controlling skin problems such as acne and psoriasis. Whats your favourite kind a serum?

08.01.2022 Serums are skin care products that are designed to deliver high concentrations of specific active ingredients to the skin.They also tend to be more expensive than other skincare products, but being that they are full of potent ingredients, a little goes a long way. There are many different types of serums on the market that perform different jobs, ranging from hydration to skin brightening. Everyones skin is different, but on average, you should give it about seven weeks to ...see how your skin responds to a new serum routine. Depending on the serum and the current state of your skin, you might even see initial results. Generally, you should use a serum all over your face and neck twice daily, once in the morning and then again in the evening, before applying your moisturiser. We have 40% off all serums at the moment, ending soon x

06.01.2022 Beautiful skin isnt just about what skincare products you use. Im a firm believer that you dont need to spend a fortune on your skincare routine. Health as a whole should be considered if youre striving for gorgeous glowing skin. Consider things like water. Are you drinking enough each and every day? Do you get enough nutrient rich fruit and veges into your diet? Do you move your body everyday?... Do you exfoliate? Meditate? Use an antioxidant serum? Sunscreen? The list goes on but thats our mission at Isla & Co Skincare. To inspire everyone to live their best life, always

02.01.2022 Did you know one snickers bar contains 27 grams of sugar? Thats equilivant to 7 teaspoons of sugar With the lock down in Melbs at the moment and of course the shitty weather that comes with winter here, I find myself craving heavy, sugar laden foods. Ive used this recipe dozens of times as my little go to whenever the urge for something sweet comes on. Chop it small, throw it in the freezer...just dont devour it all in one go!

02.01.2022 SELF CARE ISNT SELFISH! Well we all know you cant fill from an empty glass right? Its important to have a self-care routine to aid in stress management. This will prevent physical and emotional depletion over the long run. Imagine a car being driven day after day without rest. How long can it last without maintenance?... As a mum I know we sacrifice our own self care in order to ensure everyone is taken care of first. Just remember, self care isnt selfish. Its a necessary human behaviour that allows us to be in the best frame of mind to support others. Some signs you should be taking some time out for a yourself include You feel overworked (burnt out) You feel annoyed and frustrated easily You feel overwhelmed constantly You dont have enough sleep You dont have time to reflect You dont have time to relax You feel you dont have time (youre always busy) Youre swarmed with work/responsibilities and cant breathe You have difficulty sleeping, thinking about things to do and to come What are you waiting for, throw the kids at hubby tonight and just chill out. Go for a walk, mediate, have a wine in the bath. Whatever it is, ENJOY IT AND STOP FEELING GUILTY X
