Love castor oil. I mix my 50/50 with jojoba oil to get a better slip.
I'm using castor oil for lot's of things for couple of years and if I were you I would check the pump for plastic - castor oil isn't supposed to be in plastic bottles, it's so potent that it will started "eat" the plastic (sorry can't come up with a better word right now)not to make a hole in it but it will absorb the plastic particles and then you'll end up with that on your skin.
For the under eye area it's best to put cream or serum first and then castor oil.Its will seal the goodness of the cream in, basically like Vaseline.I use it also on my feet and it makes the biggest difference better than anything else.
It's also amazing in removing warts.Seriosly love this oil
Obsessed with caster oil! I use it all over my face and double layer on my eyes. All of the under the skin lumps around my chin have gone and I’ve not had one spot since I’ve started using it.
Karen, try sweet almond oil for facial skin. Since I was wee (3 years old) my mom on the recommendation of the family internist, used sweet almond oil on my face, topped with the Nivea blue tin. I was very dry, and age (almost) 52 that is *still the case* and yes my profile picture is very recent (end of last year). But sweet almond oil, there just is something about that oil that makes your skin super soft and moisturized! And it "helps" your skin without turning it oily, so it should be good for anybody out there!
I am really enjoying these recent videos, you are so relaxed and chatty 😂
Oh thank you!
Hi Karen,
Your hair looks great and so do your lashes! No need to do all those extra things before getting on camera. Funny you mentioned being embarrassed by your mops showing bc I was thinking what a clever way to store them (up and out of the way).
I can recommend RMS Beauty :-) ! Cruelty free, healthy ingredients und good performance.... Especially the powder blushes are amazing.
Always a cheer to watch your videos Karen. I hope the new yoga class was fun and have a lovely holiday
Will be interesting to see if the castor oil works. I always have some in but have never thought to use it under my eyes. Emma x
Psyllium husk is really versatile and has lots of health benefits. You might like it as an alternative to inulin 😊
I take that too sometimes 👍
Look forward to the straightner demo karen xx
That inulin powder sounds very interesting 👍🏻
I got so excited seeing the straightener. I have the most wild, thick, wirey hair imaginable. Every hairdresser marvels at how think and coarse it is. I was so disappointed when I saw the price, so will continue looking for a dupe, hopeful they put some out soon.
Your stout? My grandparents were the same with "Babycham". I remember my dad taking it to grandpa, his dad, when he was in hospital recovering from surgery. And he was a heartpatient (on nitro patches).
Oh babycham, what memories. That's the first alcoholic drink my Dad bought me and I felt so grown up. I loved Babycham! x
Love my sea buck thorn for my night oil but I was all out as was the deceim site didn’t think to look on Boots must try it in the day never thought of that thanks Karen
The Melt Brunet palette is beautiful keep an eye to the date on Kosas palette as they don’t use standard preservatives so their products can go off! Glow for it is a brilliant lash serum n safe too it’s a Uk company too. I’m Irish so I normally buy it from Beauty bay it’s out of stock at mo but people in Uk can buy from their own site
Hi Karen, I've had no problems with Gabapentin (damaged rotator cuff), bonus is, it is a marvel at conquering sleep problems for me. I'm not sleepy at all through out the day, but the second my head hits the pillow, I'm out.
Hope you get on really well with it. x
Oh I really can't wait for the sleep effects lol. Glad to hear it's ok for you. xx
Have you tried the Lisa Eldridge kitten lash eyeliner & mascara? They are really good ☺️ I know you have probably tried most sleep teas already as an insomniac but have you ever got the Yogi rose tea? It’s hibiscus based and I find drinking it quite relaxing 💗
I’m currently using the Lisa Eldridge eyeliner which is great 👍 Haven’t tried the mascara though. I don’t like herbal tea (wish I did) but I take hibiscus to help with BP. Xx
Thanks for another great video. Glad you're back!.
Can you use the sea buckthorn oil with suncream?
Thanks so much! Re using with sunscreen - I'm always a little cautious with that as I do wonder if it will dilute the sunscreen, so I tend not to use it. If I did, I wouldn't mix it, I'd put the oil on then wait a few moments, then apply sunscreen. x
Me and my mum both have a Dyson hairdryer each and we love them and we’re trying to decide t]what to go for next out of the straighteners or the airwrap. The straighteners would be beneficial to my mum because she straightens her hair. But I’ve seen a ghd brush that plugs in that might be good for me.
If you mean the GHD heated brush, I got it for xmas and love it. So quick and easy to use and not quite as “flattening” as my GHD straighteners which is good cause I have fine thin hair.
I’ve just ordered the inulin powder and castor oil! I love castor oil and love that it has a pump!! I now want the mascara and kosas palette! Looks beautiful, I love a buttery matte palette 💜 do you still like your Bare minerals Heathered palette? I’ve been thinking about getting it xx
Yay! I do still love that bare minerals palette yes :0) x
Hi Karen , was wondering if you had tried the foundation from Delilah as its cruelty free , just would like your thoughts on it ❤xx
I haven't tried them no. I just had a Quick Look - there seems to be two. One has an SPF so I usually avoid them as I don't like the ingredient but the other one is interesting. The problem is there isn't much shade choice and I like to be able to see them in person for that price! I'll have a look in the big Boots shop next time I'm there and see if they are there by chance. x
I find as i get older, i don't need straighteners as much, as my hair dries straight. It was like a bush when i was younger, and there were no straighteners then.
Mine is the opposite! The more grey that appears the more wavy and unruly it gets😢
@trishhickson1550 Mine is nearly all grey, but it's not wiry, plus I dye mine.
@@pam164 my grey is well hidden too. 👍
I’m 68 and my hair is still bushy and now weird grey hairs are coming in that are kinky. Still coloring it but doesnt last long on the new greys. Glad to have thick hair although every day is different.
Would love a video about your yoga. Im addicted too.
Have you tried Duloxetine xx
Duloxetine is an SNRI, as is Venlafexine. Venlafaxine is the first SNRI I tried and Duloxetine is on the list but I'm going to avoid SNRI's for now and try Gabapentin. x
My mom’s husband just threw himself in front of a train in Dania beach, fl. He was abusing gabapentin, among other things.
I'm so sorry to hear this.
3 to 4 H of sleep? Guilty. I am *that* person that gets into bed at 2/3 AM and gets up at 6AM. Yep. Yep. I don't know why, but it's just... part and parcel of having a chronic pain condition (no worries, I am on heavy duty pain medicine, so it's not even that); it's just I can never get comfortable. A whole lot of bad habits on top of it all, I guess. ;)
That's me when I wasn't on Amitriptyline, but since being on that it was 9pm bed for me and I slept right through. Blooming hormones have wrecked that lol but I'm at least getting more time (silver lining and all that 🤣) xx
What's the drink you Nan drank please ❤❤❤ Kvd which one please 🎉
I think she said Sweetheart Stout. Never heard of it!
Sweetheart stout :0) You get it in Tesco, Sainsbury etc - www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/265256032
The KVD blush you mean? Its rosebud. The foundation is the good apple serum. x
Actually your reports on gabapentin so surprise me. I am a chronic nerve pain patient and have a pretty severe disability (car wreck age 23). I'm 52 now and have been on 2700mg a day since 2004. It's worked for me so well. If this is a report that helps you, IDK. But I thought the positive out there also deserved a "voice" if you will. You can never tell unless you try and they don't put you on a lot as of day one, you need to take it slowly, start out with a veeery low dosage and build. If you don't do that, as the doctor ordered, and immediately take a bigger dose, I can see bad things happening. Same when you need to stop this, you go off it by lowering the dosage very slowly. It's not a medication to mess with. I am not going to say it's a perfect capsule in that sense, but my guess is if you take it like you should, there will not be those kinds of issues, unless of course you have bad side-effects. I know this leaflet by heart, and that is a first for me, what you mentioned; but of course I am not (please no) saying bad things can't happen. They can always happen and that goes for any type of medication!
That absolutely helps me, thanks so much! I have taken my 1st dose with very minimal side effects so I'm glad. Actually the Dr gave me a starting dose that I wasn't happy with - way too quick an increase! He's a GP that I know likes to give high doses. I am ignoring his "One on day one, two on day two, three on day three" and actually just taking this one until A. the side effects are no more, and B. my husband is home to take the dog out if I can't lol. Thanks so much for taking time to comment. My hubby always points out to me that people tend to only review things if there is something is negative, so it's often unbalanced. x
I should also say that it did in fact help Dad immensely in the end, when he got the dose right. It stopped his Neuropathy ruining his life and sleep!
@@TheBeautyMaverick Oh yep, I had to take my low dose for about a week before increasing one 300mg capsule a day! And this was my pain specialist talking! My capsules are all 300mg, there's all kinds of dosages out there (100, 300, 600, 800). It doesn't hurt at all doing a slow increase; better safe than sorry, Karen!
@@TheBeautyMaverick It virtually instantly lifted the biggest of my nerve pain, even on a very low dose, took the edge off immediately and that's how I knew it would be great for me. I think you can tell pretty much right away if it's going to go bad or not.
