Soley Organics - Icelandic Mineral Magic

Soley Organics - SteinEY Volcanic Face Mask € 38


So back in February, pre cancer diagnosis, I was fortunate enough to finally visit the beautiful Iceland with my best friends. Not the shop, the country....

Iceland is truly a magical place, and as a fan of anything organic I stumbled across a brand I'd never heard of when we visited the main shopping area in Reykjavik.

I entered a cute little shop which sold tons of beauty products, all made in Iceland, I was like a kid in a candy shop. Where the hell do I start!



I thought about what I needed rather than what looked pretty, my money was running very low :(  Soley Organics is in the mid price range and it being the final day of the holiday basically meant I was BROKE, I had a tiny reserve left for some hidden beauty treats and this is where I found it.

I finally settled on a face mask and healing balm. I still have loads left and I love Love LOVE the products.

Being back home in London and using these products takes me back. It reminds me of our road trip around the the Nordic Island, the hot springs, warmth of the blu lagoon and mesmerising geyser explosions. If you haven't been I recommend you pay Iceland a visit. A lot of the time I felt like I was in the Hobbit, lots of little mound Hobbit like houses, no longer used but loads believe the elves still live in them!

'This facial mineral mask regulates and balances skin, stimulates cellular metabolism, strengthens tissues and reduces the signs of ageing  It normalises skin texture by removing dead skin cells, toxins and impurities, which subsequently eases the absorption of applied nutrients and moisture. 
steinEY contains mineral rich volcanic clay from Eyjafjallajökull and hand-picked wild Icelandic birch that nourish and promote the skin’s natural equilibrium.' www.soleyorgainc.com


                                    
Using the product

Lets start with the face mask. Its so much nicer and more therapeutic to mix up the mask yourself. I definitely feel like a true pagan, creating up my own potion. You decide on how much or how little you want to use and nothing gets wasted, unlike the packet ones, sometimes there is way too much in them and I usually end up binning what ever is left.




You get a little mixing dish, I prefer using my sea shells, grab a little brush, sadly the product doesn't come with either.  Get a little bit of the powder onto your brush or use a little teaspoon, place into your dish and add water then tad-ahhh. You are all mixed up, ready to apply. 







Once you apply the product, you wait for about 10 minutes - enough time to chill out and have a cup of tea, then wash off with warm water.
Your face feel fresh, completely cleansed and smoooooth. Apply some healing face balm to any troubling areas then your usual moisturiser then boom thats it!



Make sure you cleanse your face with a nice face wash before hand to get rid of any debries. 

I would usually use this in the evening times, and follow this by using a night cream.

5 Tips For Returning To Work After Treatment

Image
Going back to work after treatment is a big deal, well it was for me anyway. I had so many questions running through my mind and scenarios which constantly kept triggering my anxiety but the main question that was at the forefront of my mind was ...would I be able to cope? I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Stage 2 HER2 Positive Breast Cancer in May 2017 at the ripe old age of 31 and after completing fertility treatment to preserve embryos, shortly after diagnosis, my brutal cancer treatment begun. 5 months of chemotherapy, a lumpectomy, full auxiliary node clearance, 20 rounds of radiotherapy and 18 rounds of Herceptin. It was a busy 15 months that's for sure. When I was undergoing treatment, being at the hospital week in week out became routine, a bit like a really crappy job. I knew what I had to do, knew what could go wrong,  prayed that it didn't , had my lunch on my chemo chair, chatted with other patients like I was in a weird board meeting, but didn't have t...

How I Love My New Style After Cancer Diagnosis

Image
Written in May 2018. Its funny isn't it, my look was seriously altered after I lost my hair and I feel like I've finally found my style. Not to blow my own trumpet but...ah what the hell toot toot! I was worried initially when I thought about my hair falling out, but weirdly enough it made me embrace change in such a positive way. I bought new clothes because my weight was gaining,  new make up because my skin was changing, tried out different cuts of clothing, bought funky coloured wigs. All of the things I probably wouldn't have done before cancer. I look at myself now and sometimes flick through old photos that come up on my Facebook throwback and start to compare, and I think 'wow....was that me'. I'm 6 months post chemo, my hair has grown a few inches. Ive dyed it pink, my eyebrows are thicker, my body curvier. Within a year I transitioned into this person that I really actually do quite love. I never thought I'd even get to the point of l...

My Experience of Writing for Vice/Tonic Magazine

Image
I was really excited that someone from the Vice Magazine had approached me asking if I'd like to contribute to an article about TV and Movies getting cancer all wrong. Me, a newbie blogger writing for Tonic...of course I said yes! It was August last year and I had at that point in time set up my blog and my Go Fund Me page, fundraising for my charity was going well,  and I had written a few posts to help others. I think the main one at the time which was being circulated was my realists guides tips for preparing for chemo, and also one about me being ' the face of death' - essentially my hospital admission experience. I had a lot to say ...mainly because after putting a wig on, you never would have known that I have cancer and going through chemotherapy. Before starting chemo, I'm not going to lie....due to TV and the movies, I had this whole other image in my head of what cancer treatment was going to be like. One infection then I'm dead. My uncle, at...
