It's time to say hello.

After many hours of deciding on the name, design and all sort of little details, my blog
is finally here.
So let me introduce myself. I'm Kasia (but most people can't pronounce it, so they call me Kate). Originally I come from Poland, but I live in Manchester with my Other Half and beautiful Son.
I've always been a huge fan of natural living and try to choose carefully what I put in and on me.
Couple of years ago, I found some information (here) about cosmetics, food and drugs tested
on animals and I was absolutely horrified
when I realised that majority of the content of my 'beauty cupboard' comes from evil companies,
who support animal testing. Unfortunately,
knowing all that didn't make my life any easier,
as I quickly realised that evil companies
are everywhere and it's hard to find cruelty-free stuff, without any nasties and on the budget.
When I was a teenager, my sister bought a book with recipes for home made beauty remedies.
At the time, making my own make -up
or moisturiser seemed like a waste of time and too much hustle, but now I would love to have that book again. Making my own stuff seems like
a great idea now and according to all Polish grandmas, the best place to find ingredients
for your handmade beauty products is your kitchen.

So that's the idea behind this blog. I'm gonna share with you my (and not only) attempts to create
a guilt and cruelty- free, natural, cheap(ish) products that will make you look and feel beautiful. At least, that's the plan ;) 

Watch this space.
