I recently started a YouTube Channel.
This is a little unusual for me as I am a huge technophobe and would rather be making soap and all things that smell nice.
I made the decision to create the channel as I wanted people to learn about the person behind Mel's Little Luxuries, the business and most importantly, how I can help them.
I will also be blending in bits of self care because it's so important for you to prioritise your needs. There are times when we become so absorbed with helping others that we forget to help ourselves first. We become resentful when we start running on empty. We feel obliged in helping others first, (people pleasing), because we are frightened of what people will think of us, when we start saying "no". We have to learn to set boundaries. It all boils down to that old adage of, putting the oxygen mask on yourself first.
I've attached the YouTube video, so take a look and please remember to subscribe.

I love coconut oil and use it as one of the main ingredients in my soaps. It is packed with goodness leaving your skin looking silky, vibrant, and beautifully hydrated.
Here are 5 fabulous uses of coconut oil:
1.It is great for dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Coconut oil reduces inflammation and relieves itching when applied to affected areas.
2.Coconut oil is a wonderful night cream with maximum moisturising benefits. It is rich in anti-oxidants which means that it is great for dealing with fine lines and wrinkles.
3.When coconut oil is combined with sugar, the two make an excellent exfoliant in a body scrub. It sloughs off the dead skin revealing vibrant and healthy skin.
4.Coconut oil is soothing when it comes to burns, insect bites and reduces the appearance of bruises
5.It is a brilliant moisturiser in lip balms helping to deal with chapped lips.

You are tired of the constant advertising and requests to buy this outstanding product and buy that. Then along comes Mel’s Little Luxuries. Well, who or what is that? What do they want you to buy?
I started this business out of a hobby. With 3 gorgeous children and a full time job, I needed to find some precious time for myself. So I started soap making and realised that I enjoyed it. It was fun creating something from scratch, but you have total control over what ingredients go into the products.
This got me thinking. If you are like me, you probably get fed up with the number of products out there on the market and you have no idea what they contain. When you try reading the labels, you are simply blinded by science.
For me this is quite worrying because 2 of my little angels have eczema and the prescriptions they were getting, weren’t helping and sometimes seemed to cause more of an irritation.
Now I was involved in soap making, it made me realise that I could craft a gentle product which could help with soothing their skin. I therefore started to take things a little more seriously.
I went on a number of courses and out of that Mel’s Little Luxuries was born. I create natural handmade products such as body butters, lip balms, soaps and bath bombs. They make great gifts, pamper treats and the natural ingredients have been known to help with making the skin look vibrant, healthy and glowing.
So that’s what Mel’s Little Luxuries is all about.
If you care about your skin and are looking at ways to keep a healthy and youthful appearance, why not pop over to www.melslittleluxuries.co.uk to take a look at the products on offer. They are lovingly made and you will find something for everyone.
This is a question which some of my customers have repeatedly asked.
I tend to use Beeswax when I make my luxury lip balms because it has a number of fantastic qualities.
Honey bees produce the natural wax which is called beeswax.
This keeps the hive free from contamination or infection.
Beeswax is used in a lot of cosmetic production because it has healing qualities and is very good for soothing the skin.
It acts like a barrier on the skin and protects it from irritants in the environment.
Beeswax is found quite often in lip balms because it allows the skin to breath unlike Petroleum based products which block the skin.
It is particularly good for chapped lips and great for those who suffer with:
• Dry skin
• Rough skin
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
Quite simply put, beeswax beautifully hydrates and nourishes the skin.
It contains Vitamin A which is excellent for both repairing and maintaining the skin and it has antioxidant qualities.
There are additional qualities of being anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
Beeswax is wonderful for healing minor cuts
Mums love it because it gets rid of nappy rash.
So if you want to protect your lips so that they are constantly nourished and moisturised, look for a lip balm with beeswax.
Do you want the perfect, moisturised and soft lips?
