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 …
Strict dieting and restricting your calories is tough, but when you have a sweet tooth and love snacking things get even tougher! I found this recipe on Amy’s Healthy Baking and, after a couple of tries, seem to have it perfected. 108 calories per brownie and they’re not full of ‘crap’… they’re the perfect little …
In my 21 years of having trichotillomania, I have never found a way to beat it. The fact that there is no ‘cure’ per se used to really get me down, but I’ve since accepted my trich for what it is and started searching for short-term solutions to help fight the urges when they get …
Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner I’ve tried loads of eyeliners in the past- from gel, to pen and liquid- and this is the one I always come back to. Collection have this knack of creating some real bargain hero products (including the Lasting Perfection concealer!), and this eyeliner is one of my faves. Whilst the nib …
For a while now, I’ve been experimenting with differing recipes using protein powder. I absolutely adore baking (as you might have guessed), but with a gym-obsessed boyfriend with a sweet-tooth who moans about the amount of sugar and fat I’m tempting him with, I decided to try and find alternative ‘healthier’ recipes. Switching up ingredients …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
