I have ultra sensitive skin. Even though I know better, I still try nearly every product we get at Kolya – they smell decadent, intrigue my interests, and look beautiful. But I find that when I use most products, even those that are pure as pure can be, I react. Over the years of trying hundreds of products, I have found that my skin does better […]

Spray your with a leave in conditioner, my favourite is Feed Your Ends by Yarok. • Add hair powder to your roots. This will help hide greasy hair and adds more volume to the final product. I love Lulu Organics; the amber patchouli scent is heavenly.

These bottles have been populating my shelves for quite some time now since they are some of my favourites… I hummed and hawed whether I should bring them into Kolya – they are a pricey bunch of products, with very humble packaging – so I was not sure how our customers would respond. Yet I felt guilty that I was using something that we did not […]

Bathtime… Calmtime With Dr.Hauschka’s Lavender Moor Bath Essence by Ashley I love to bathe. I love the ritual of preparing the bath, adding the magnesium salts and oils (and of course the vitamin C tab!) and then literally soaking up the benefits of it all. There’s something to be said for taking time to create space for oneself, to nurture oneself – regardless of time of […]
