I always think that Blackthorn sounds like it might be the sort of creepy, impenetrable vine which surrounds Sleeping Beauty’s castle during her slumber? In the winter, its black branches and long sharp thorns certainly look a little scary, but how beautiful do the sprays of white spring flowers look against that dark background?
Do you know what’s lurking in your beauty products?
Can you pronounce all of the ingredients? Do you know for sure that they don’t contain harmful chemicals, which can be hormone disrupting, carcinogenic, neurotoxins or worse?
As a complete sun worshiper, Autumn is never my favourite time of year, when the nights are drawing in and winter is just around the corner. What I do love however, is seeing all of the beautiful berries shining like jewels from the bushes and hedgerows.
