hello!

It seems like forever since I last posted a blog. I’ve been in the grips of this awful Christmas cold which seems to be with me for life and I’m beavering away on the new website which I HOPE to have finished by the end of the week so apologies for the absence.

I’ve loads to blog about, especially about my new obsession with coconut oil (more of that on the new site). But today I’m interested in the story about Emma Stone (Hollywood Star) attributing grapeseed oil as the key to her clear and well, lets face it perfect complexion.

Apparently she splashes it on her face several times a day and at a cost of around £2 a bottle it’s a pretty inexpensive skin care regime.

I have a strong affinity with using natural oils etc when it comes to wellbeing and skin care. My grandmother was from Malta so as you can imagine she used to dole out advice left, right and center on Mediterranean methods. From using oil to get rid of stretch marks so you look amazing in your bikini right through to using it as a way to manage your weight and look great in jeans so its good to see Hollywood stars continuing the trends.

I’m starting to think about following more of a Mediterranean diet and method for 2012 – again something which I’ll probably delve in to further in future blog posts. But if for now you fancy doing an Emma and grabbing some grapeseed oil here are some facts:

• Grapeseed oil is almost odourless and light in texture the natural product is said to be easily absorbed by the skin and is commonly used as a massage oil.
• Its been used for centuries by the ancient Greeks and the Egyptians
• The benefits are two fold, it protects your face from the sun as it has SPF properties and it also protects your skin against wrinkles.
• It has high levels of vitamin E!

Worth giving a go for the £2 price tag right?
