I love experimenting with recipes- although (as you can probably tell from this site), it’s usually baking. However, once in a while I will try a new savoury recipe. Although not many make it on to this site (apart from stand-out creations like these puff pastry twists), some things are just too clever/ convenient/ tasty …
There are certain beauty tools that, although aren’t necessarily the most glamourous thing to discuss, are essential to our everyday routines. Whether that be an amazing toothbrush, the blending tool you can’t live without or the hair brush that leaves your hair feeling amazing, there are some things that are just worth mentioning. What’s great …
There are always three beauty products I have in my handbag at all times; a lip balm, an eyebrow pencil (thanks trich) and a tube of hand cream. I like to think of this trio as my ‘everyday beauty essentials’ when I’m out and about. Having dermatillomania (a compulsive skin-picking disorder that’s like trichotillomania’s twin…I …
I’ve been stocking up on daffodils to brighten the home (although it still seems to early) and starting to get into the spring mood, including the things I’m cooking. Although hearty, stodgy bakes are great comfort foods for those cold weekends when you’re stuck indoors, I think you can’t go wrong with citrus-flavoured cakes when …
Although it’s nice to take time out for your beauty routine, pop on a face mask and lather on a nourishing body butter, I for one never actually get round to doing this. I often think, ‘I’m going to run myself a nice Lush bath this weekend and finally use the plethora of gorgeous beauty …
I honestly think that Sleek are one of the best budget brands around, especially when it comes to powder-type products such as highlight, blush, bronzer, contour etc. Ever since I discovered their Blush by 3 palette (review from way back in the day here), I have been wowed by how pigmented their products are; they …
I own a lot of nail varnishes. In fact, I have so many nail varnishes I have to keep them in their own case (and that’s after a clear out!). There’s something so complete about having freshly painted nails; it makes you feel extra confident and like you 100% have your life together, plus it’s …
I’m a bit of a creature of habit with my skincare, having a small portfolio of products I know work well for me on a daily basis and others reserved for specific functions, like a mask I can rely on to help with dry skin flare ups. For the past couple of months I’ve been …
Although we’re now in February and positively thinking that winter is nearly over, it seems as though it is still getting colder by the day! I’m currently wearing my thickest winter coat, big cosy scarf and gloves whenever I decide to venture outdoors; add to this the dreary rain and you’ve got yourself a recipe …
You may have seen pictures and some reviews recently of another new Rimmel launch. The folk at Rimmel have been very busy indeed recently- you may remember that they also launched these shake brow powders not long ago, and it seems they’re keeping with the shaky theme. This Volume Shake mascara is quite an innovative …
