Hi Lovelies,
Welcome back! And welcome if You are new here xo
How are You, I hope You are well? Let’s talk about some things that is happening at Casa Del Green Life In Dublin, as well as some products that I am buying/ using right now? I thought You would never ask 🙂
MUSINGS
This month would be my least favourite if it wasn’t for my birthday at the end of it. Cold, rainy and kind of gloomy where You would need to create Your own sunshine. I started this month to the trip to the dentist 150km away – because no doctor or dentist in my new town would take us in – and witnessing a car crash happening on the other side of M50 in front of our eyes. The barrier in the middle of the road stopped the car parts flying our way. I am still shaken, praying for those people but also thanking our guardian angels every day.
Please hug Your family members and tell them You love them! Let the small things go. All of it can be gone in a flash.
FALL WEATHER = CANDLE SEASON
This is the candle season, but just like with my food and products, I want them non toxic! Natural waxes candles scented with pure essential oils are what I seek, but they are not easy to find. Pure beeswax candles are also something I love, they purify the air and are the perfect for when You don’t want a scented option, but they are soooo hard to find. Luckily for me, I love a scented candle and Sand & Fog have some really good ones. Live The Light save the day each time, they stock them -at affordable prices, so many to choose from. If You are a pet owner like me, they have Sand & Paws options for You too – candles and room sprays to neutralize pet odors.
MOLDY MOVIE
Many of You will know David Asprey as biohacker, maybe even the first OG biohacker, but did You know that mold was the root of his issues that wrecked his health? Me neither, till I watched his podcast with Michaela Peterson on Youtube. He went on to create a movie about it, we should watch it. For those of You with persistent health issues, that doctors “can’t explain”, this might click some puzzle pieces for You.
MAGNESIUM OIL DIY
Magnesium oil is so easy to DIY, did You know that? I am making the fresh batch this month, since I ran out and my sleep suffered so much. Let me know if You want a post on how I fixed my sleeping issues naturally. Magnesium is a key player into this.
Ps. If You want to know what I DIY, please hit the search button on the right side of the blog – I have a post on everything I am making myself. I also have a post on 45+ things I am not buying. Just saying 🙂
HOLISTIC MEDICINE CABINET
Also, would You be interested in my holistic medicine tour blog post? I have an old blog post of what I use in case my family gets sick, but it could do with update. Almost all of the products stayed the same, I might needed to change a brand or two – thanks to Brexit and products being no longer available.
PRE TEEN BEAUTY AWARDS? PERI MEnOUPAUSE AWARDS?
What the heck are cooling pyjamas made of? Why is best fan a Dyson? Cheaper fans don’t work or something? Why do we need a perimenopause cleanser, won’t regular cleanser do? Why is everything “best” priced closer to a 100€ per product? As You can see, seeing these kind of awards got me miffed – totally unnecessary push from the industry! Why are pre – teen beauty awards a thing?! Kids do not need skincare or beauty products, why did we allow the industry to create yet another generation is customers? And normalize it so fast? Have we gone mad?!
Irish independent feature/ mention
Meadhbh McGrath from Irish Independent was kind enough to feature me in Irish Independent back in 2023 and is asking my two cents on certain topics from time to time – thank You! This time round the topic was compostable or reusable sheet masks & my choice was 100% Pure Caffeine Sheet Mask – it truly makes Your skin red carpet ready. It stands out from the rest for sure. I have reviewed it on my old blog back in 2016, which I will link below if You want to see it. In the post I also give You a tip on how to make it (or any other sheet mask) last three times longer. No shame in the saving game! I get mine from Live In The Light online store, find the link at the end of the post. Happy masking!

Irish Independent, Natural Deodorants & Me – Green Life In Dublin
THINGS
No beauty products just yet, but I spent far too much money on Sand & Fog candles though.
If I will buy anything, I will let You know. At the moment I have enough products for a couple of months, plus I have Holland & Barrett advent calendar waiting, so I am not even in the market for more skin care. I might purchase Naturisimo natural make up box if that comes along.
I hope You aren’t disappointed with that. I am only one woman and my sensitive skin and my monies cannot keep up with what’s new and what’s trending in the green beauty world. Expect more “Shop My Stash” posts and individual products reviews going forward. I hope You will stay for the ride.
