I love myself a bit of Aldi. We are forever stocking up on their own brand foods (I would thoroughly recommend their version of Terry’s chocolate orange bites), but in the past couple of years they have vastly developed their Lacura beauty range. I remember as a teenager trying out their moisturisers and thinking they …
The Best Savoury Snack: Cheddar and Bacon Pastry Straws
I have always posted a lot of recipes on this site; most of them sharing my love for baking. Cakes, brownies, biscuits and desserts…they all reflect my sweet-tooth! Apart from a couple of Slimming World recipes, I have never shared any savoury snacks on my blog. Well, this is about to change! This cheesy bacon …
Review: Kiss Beautiful Brow Kit
Trichotillomania has made me hate photos of myself. Something you don’t realise until you have no eyebrows is that even with make-up filling them in, photos often show the baldness (it makes them look shiny…it’s difficult to describe but the photos almost take away the make-up). The best ways to try and stop this is …
Why Makeup Is So Important for my Mental Health
When you ask most people what make-up means to them, I am sure many will give answers that go beyond purely aesthetic reasons. It’s a creative outlet, a form of expression, but it also empowers and allows you to convey who you are. The only difference is that trichotillomania has made me fear life without …
Elegant Touch Nails: Chrome Collection
The nails in question are from the relatively new Chrome Collection from Elegant Touch. The super-cool range features four different styles- all are stiletto shaped and run along the holographic theme but vary in colour. I used to really dislike stiletto nails (doing any small task with long, pointed claws becomes difficult!) and much preferred …
Recipe: Delicious (And Healthy) Banana Bread
According to science, your tastebuds change and regenerate every 7 years. I used to hate banana flavoured things, turning my nose up at the thought of banana muffins and the like. However, my taste has recently changed and I’ve started experimenting with different recipes for banana bread, having suddenly realised how amazing it is. Taking …
NEW EYELINER ALERT! Perfecting the Cat Flick with Flawless Lashes By Loreta
I feel like I’m a bit stubborn and unexciting when it comes to make-up. Once I find a product that works well, it takes a lot for me to venture out and try new things. I stick with what I know, and it usually never fails me! This goes for the RapidLash serum I rave …
Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes Recipe (From Hanny’s Bakery)
As you know, I love baking, but Hannah is next level. Her creations are utterly stunning; her attention to detail whilst baking and decorating is second to none, and a skill which I can only dream of ever having! She’s so good, my manager asked her to make her wedding cake for her! The highlights …
Get The Recipe: Easy Oreo Cupcakes
Who doesn’t like cake? Who doesn’t like Oreo or chocolate in general? Not many people, which makes this recipe extra-exciting to post! I’m a massive chocoholic, and Oreo flavoured things are just the best thing on earth, so combining this within a cake recipe is a fantastic thing for my taste buds. What’s even better …
Kiss True Volume Lashes – ‘Chic’
The ones I wore were these gorgeous lashes from my faves Kiss. The style is called ‘Chic’ and they’re part of their True Volume range- by far the most natural looking out of the range (‘Ritzy’ and ‘Spicy’ are definitely more glam and full-on!). I had never tried them before, and given that I was …
