This week on Mummy Beautiful: Carine Khoury, mother of two.
What is your daytime skincare routine? I apply BB cream and a bit of makeup.
What is your nighttime skincare routine? What goes on, must come off. I don’t go to bed without using a makeup remover and a cleansing milk.
Favourite beauty product? I love moisturisers, mascara and nail polish.
Saturday night and I am desperate to come up with an awesome idea for a scheduled Sunday outing with friends and kids. I turn to the internet, naturally. I scroll through pages of useless and dated websites, feeling quite depressed about the lack of kiddie activity information on the island. To be specific, I was hoping to find a well-organised and up-to-date website bursting with information on places to visit and where to go with children in tow. Just when my hopes were about to be shattered and I was preparing to announce that we would head to our usual playground spot, I found Kids Have Fun in Cyprus.
This week on Mummy Beautiful: Emilia Koushoumi, mother of four.
What is your daytime skincare routine? I’ll be honest and say I don’t really bother too much with my skin during the day unless I feel dry in which case I use a moisturiser.
What is your nighttime skincare routine? I wash my face with water and nothing else before I go to bed. Again I may apply a moisturiser but not always because I don’t feel my skin needs it.
This week, on Mummy Beautiful: Stella Georgiou, mother of three.
What is your daytime skincare routine? I wash my face every morning with an antibacterial face wash and then apply a 24 hour moisturising cream.
What is your nighttime skincare routine? Every evening, during my shower I use a homemade scrub on my face. It is made with olive oil and baking soda. Then, I apply a night cream.
I wouldn’t say I am a fan of the hype that comes with Valentine’s Day. At least not anymore. But it is a celebration of love and I am totally cool with that. Also I happen to have a cute little Valentine’s story to share. I remember one particular Valentine’s Day when I was no more than 16. I had had the sweetest boyfriend for a couple of months and the day of love was coming up so I did what is expected. Teddy bears, cards and various red and pink knick knacks with hearts smothered all over were purchased. We broke up two months later but remained friends. The type of friends who invite each other to their weddings! So, after more than ten years, one day I went to his house to invite him to my wedding. After a brisk chat with his mum, he took me to a cupboard where he revealed something so special I can’t help but smile every time I think of it. There, he kept a box of items from his childhood and one little gift I gave him on that Valentine’s Day.
