“a beautiful story” is a blog aimed to provide informative, useful, and (hopefully! ;)) entertaining reviews on health and beauty products for women and men. Sometimes there’ll be some other random posts about me and my life (but not too many, as that will take us away from the topic!). Sometimes I’ll also include articles that I have written for various magazines. I hope that you enjoy reading my blog! 🙂

I will be reviewing a wide range of products, ones you can find at your supermarket as well as more high end products. If there is a particular product you would like me to review, or topic you would like me to blog on, contact me!

Personal development and wellbeing are also interests of mine, which I think ties in to health and beauty more generally. Healthy body, healthy mind! (And vice versa.) As such I might start to post more on these topics but this depends on YOU, dear readers! If there is a demand for such stuff I’ll post more of it. 🙂

I am PR and media friendly. If a review is sponsored at any stage I will clearly mention this on the particular review post. If I receive a free sample of a product that I am reviewing I will also indicate this in the particular post or posts. Having said that these factors do not affect my reviews!
