Drip icing isn’t something new, but it seems to be having a real moment recently. I follow quite a few baking-related Instagram accounts, and many use the drip icing technique to decorate their masterpieces. I love baking, but as it’s only me and Stewart in our household I never really bake big cakes; as much …
It is estimated that up to 3% of the population will suffer from trichotillomania at some point in their lives. It’s also estimated that around 2% are at risk of developing alopecia, and 38% of us are likely to be diagnosed with cancer. Add to that a number of other factors, such as stress, and …
Like so many, I’m not a fan of my natural hair. If I don’t blow dry it or style it, I’m left with slight waves with a frizzy and course texture (no, I’m not a horse). It’s put straight up and hidden in a pony tail or bun when in this state, and so I …
In recent years, I think many of us have become increasingly aware of what ingredients our beauty products contain and as such, brands have taken note and a huge variety of skincare and cosmetics have ethically sourced ingredients, are cruelty-free, organic or vegan, for example. The amount of choice available to consumers now within the …
They’ve been around for years now, but somehow I only tried my first beauty subscription box in December. When Birchbox ran a Black Friday offer that was too good to resist (two boxes for £5 plus delivery… when one box usually costs £10!), I signed up for my first subscription to see what the fuss …
You can probably tell from a lot of the recent baking posts that I’m quite into healthy recipes at the moment! Although my quest to lose a little bit of weight has ended, my baking habits have remained changed. Baking with lashings of butter and sugar is traditional, comforting and delicious, but it’s not to …
It’s no secret that RapidLash is one of my number one beauty loves. I’ve mentioned the wonder-product a good few times already on this site (I swear to god none of it is sponsored….I just adore the serum!), and it truly is one thing that I can turn to to help actually make a difference …
I recently tried baking with protein powder again, after giving it a break having not found a recipe that was a real stand-out favourite in my household. It’s so difficult! Perhaps it’s the whey protein that we have, but there’s something about it that completely changes the consistency and texture of the bake, and not …
It seemed to be perfect timing when, a few days after a pulling spree, I saw Eylure posting about their new range on Instagram. The ‘Fluttery’ range seemed to arrive at the best time for me; a collection of light, natural-looking lashes that could help cover the baldness day-to-day, and give me an excuse to …
Whenever I am asked questions about microblading (a form of semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing that I’ve written about many, many times before), the same few things seem to crop up. Does it hurt? How quickly do they fade? I’m worried they won’t look natural and will pulling my eyebrows ruin them? That last point is something …
