Daily Self Care with Ritual Oils Rose Quartz Face Roller, Gua Sha & Moringa Oil w Blue Lotus

Hello ! It’s me. And I am so happy to be back connecting with ya’ll.
As it is still lockdown here in Sydney, Australia ; I figured it’s the perfect time to check in with you and for you to see what I am doing.

Lockdown due to Covid -19 has been intense and whilst we are all riding the same storm; we are NOT all in the same boat. Some people are in boats and some are in yachts. I want to extend my love and blessings to absolutely everyone who has been affected whether that is financially, mentally, physically or spiritually.
Anyways, some comments I have gotten are how I am always happy and looking good (not sounding stuck up but for real some people said that which I have credited makeup, cute filters and a happy vibe lmao).
And while I believe I really consciously made an effort to use lockdown to my advantage, my hubby and I both can verify I am not always happy. I am super sensitive and highly emotional. I absorb other people’s energies and since the world is a mad house right now I do get in my moods …BUT I can say I have done SO MUCH internal work and I am really proud of how much I’ve evolved during lockdown.

If you want me to go more into my lockdown routine like my home workouts, what I am eating and how I am staying motivated for life then let me know but for now I am going to get back to my daily self care which has kept me sane and looking a lil fresher.

So if you can remember back to my post on Ritual Oils Moringa & Blue lotus , I absolutely love using this divine smelling oil and this gorgeous shop in general. Well when I was pregnant with Lolita in 2019 and living that virtual hell ( read about it here if you’re not familiar with Hyperemesis Gravidarum & why I am sounding so dramatic), Ritual Oils gifted me the Rose Quartz Face Roller, Gua Sha & Ritual Oils Set. Oh my goodness it must have been the pregnancy hormones combined with pre-natal depression but I sobbed like a baby haha I was so grateful.

Anyways I really enjoy using both the roller and the Gua Sha. I will admit the Gua Sha is my fave because of how it sculpts the jawline and cheekbones and I love high, defined cheekbones.
I found this lady on Instagram and she does all these crazy face massages using the Gua Sha and I also went onto Youtube and Googled techniques. It’s so easy and it works. I don’t have anything against botox or filler, I just don’t feel ready for it (and I hate needles) so this is perfect for me.
I use the Blue Lotus Moringa Oil, the Gua Sha and the rollwer after the shower every day.

**TIP** Keep them both in the fridge and it feels so good on the skin like wow.

If you’re not familiar, some other benefits of the Rose Quartz Face Roller and Gua Sha are :

  • tension relief

  • assists with facial lymphatic drainage

  • assists with product absorption into the skin

  • and supports blood circulation

If you have tried it out. Let me know :) i feel like I am puffy in the face in the morning but after using these three I see a HUGE difference.

After I do my skin care routine I have been getting into the habit of putting makeup on every second day or so even if I am just going to the fruit shop to get items for dinner.
Honestly, I enjoy makeup and getting dressed up. For me personally when I look good I feel better and since no beauty services are open- this is the next best option for me to keep me sane.

This little self care routine has made a difference to my mental state. I have a few more posts on the way with products from Ritual Oils. If you’re keen on trying out there products you can get a discount with the code ROMEO. Click this link and happy shopping cause you deserve it.

Lots of love beautiful people. Sending out love and light

Moringa Oil infused with Blue lotus- Ritual Oil Review and Discount code

Hey honeys ! I’ve got an amazing product to share with you that you can introduce into your skin, hair and body care routine. You all know I love beauty products and this one has become a staple because of the way it makes my skin feel and look. Like a pregnancy glow but without the pregnancy ahaha.
Unfortunately my husband is also obsessed so we go through it quickly haha. Just kidding I love sharing everything with him and I love that my husband is open enough to let me put face masks and skin products on him.

This product is very special because it’s my friends company. I’m really proud of him for manufacturing something of this high standard that looks and feels amazing as well and has many health benefits.  I love to support small brands and Australian owned companies. Something so amazing about this product is that it was featured in Vogue Arabia early this year which is a great achievement since the product is relatively new. Congratulations Arri and the team at Ritual Oils !

Now onto the product…..Drum roll please…It’s called Moringa oil infused with Blue Lotus - by Ritual Oils. 

Prior to using this oil I was unfamiliar with the properties of Moringa and Blue Lotus. Sure it smelt good but how was it going to benefit me ? After looking into it further , Moringa is well known in the beauty and health industry and used extensively. It’s also set to be the next big ‘superfood’ so you will be hearing about it a lot soon. Sorry Kale, your time has come to an end. Haha.

Moringa is a tree native to India but grown all over the world. People digest it as a powder, tea or in tablet capsule form but in our case it is in oil format. It is high in Vitamins A, B and C as well as Iron and Zinc.

Blue lotus is also an amazing plant used a lot in Ancient Egypt, Ancient China and India. It assists with depression, is a muscle and sleep relaxant , an aphrodisiac, diabetes, assists with menstrual pain and has many more health benefits.

So this product is not only great for your skin but also your hair especially those fortunate enough to have tight ringlets. When using it on your skin and hair, it’s nourishing qualities include anti ageing and assists with rejuvenation, acne problems, dry skin, pigmentation, it’s a source of vitamin C and also is used to treat wounds. Because the product is cold pressed, you get 100% of the nutrients, minerals, enzymes and vitamins.
I am blessed with clear skin and don’t use this product as an acne treatment so I can’t comment too much on that aspect in too much detail but if you head to Ritual Oils Instagram you can see in the highlights that it has treated blemishes and acne. I would try this natural product before using chemical derived and unnatural products. There are also some story highlights of people putting it on their baby bump, hair, wounds and over-all body. Such a lovely all round product.

My routine with this is simple. After a shower, I rub 2-4 drops into my palm.
I then rub my hands together and massage it into my face, chest and neck. I close my eyes during the process and take my time with slowly massaging it into my pores. During this, I think about how grateful I am for my beautiful life and all the things I am blessed for.  I make it a ‘ ritual’ skin care routine when I treat myself to this mini relaxation and I look forward to it every day.
After the oil has been warmed in your hand, it glides beautifully over your skin and you can feel it absorbing into your skin, without leaving it feeling greasy. The brand as a whole has a wonderful message - it is there to reminds you and I how important gratitude is and I like those little subtle reminders. The more grateful I am, the more abundant my life becomes.



If you would like to add Ritual Oil into your skin care routine you can purchase it here. Use code ROMEO for a discount.

If you are wanting to purchase it over the counter, please see the stockists here. It is stocked in Australia, Indonesia, U.S.A and England.

In my opinion, the 3 pack is great value and currently on sale but if you’re unsure I would go for just one bottle. After that you will be hooked. The Rose quartz gift set (picture right) is the most PERFECT sentimental and useful gift for mother’s day as well. Get it before you forget and have to buy flowers from the service station haha.
Please let me know if this worked wonders for you as well.

Hope you loved this post as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.

All my love, TDH

A whole heap of celebs and their make up artists have used the product too and I always see positive feedback. For whatever reason I didn't get around to buying it and then I bought it for my bestie as part of her birthday present so I put one for myself in the shopping cart.
