Last Tuesday night I went to the launch party of the Natural Beauty Yearbook 2014 (I’ve been away for work hence my late post!) Melvita hosted the event at Kensington Whole Foods Market, my second favourite shop! The party is always a great opportunity to catch up with friends, it is also when the much anticipated who’s who in natural beauty Top 25 personalities are announced. The top 25 are voted for by others in the industry, and are a mix of brand owners, bloggers, PR’s and journalists.

Did you notice number 24?? I was so incredibly chuffed that anyone voted for me let alone be one of the top 25! Thank you so much to everyone that voted for me, it really means a lot and is an honour to be among all the other amazing people on the list. Green beauty is my passion, I believe it is the way forward and I’m looking forward to what 2014 will bring.
