It definitely is true that your tastes change as you get older. When I was younger, I hated any cakes or bakes that involved bananas; I turned my nose up and banana muffins and banoffee pie was my idea of a nightmare pud. Fast-forward a bit and I can’t get enough of the stuff! Perhaps …
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 …
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 …
