I’m a beauty junkie! I love beauty products and always on the look for new trends and new brands to try. My bathroom cabinet is literally full of beauty products sometimes leading to conflict with the male leaving in my apartment who doesn’t understand why someone would need a day cream, a night cream, an eye contour cream, a weekend cream, a serum, a primer … Men …. Well anyway, I do sometimes tide up things in a nice attempt to avoid further conflicts (but also because whenever you tide things up you always find things you’ve even forgotten you have … which is something I absolutely love) and while doing so the other days I have noticed something quite interesting: felt like my bathroom cabinet could have also been a basket of fruits! Pear cream, coconut butter, kiwi seed oil eye cream, grapeseed butter cleanser … Haven’t noticed until then that most of the products I was using could have also gone in my tummy (well not literally of course) and so I thought, why not make an article out of it? Food for your tummy which is also good for your skin w/ a selection of my fav superfood beauty products.

Now I am speaking something quite different. Well, of course I’m not expecting you to eat grapeseed but have you ever tried grapeseed oil?
