So, as of today, I can say ‘I AM GOING ON HOLIDAY THIS WEEK!’.we’ll be traipsing to the airport to catch a flight to Crete for a week of sun, beaches and all inclusive food/ drink. Honestly, what more could a girl want? When we booked the holiday in March, it seemed ages away, but …

THEY’RE REAL! Benefit Eye Make-Up Bundle
Within this They’re Real bundle, I received the Big Lash Blowout (mascara), the tinted primer, eyeshadow duo, push-up eyeliner, and double the lip lipstick. So, let’s start with the mascara I’ve loved for the past few years! They’re Real is honestly such a fab mascara and packs a serious punch when it comes to lengthening …
L’Occitane Perfumes: Something For All Your Fragrance Needs
In general, I am quite boring with my perfumes. I see them as something I would never treat myself to, instead I usually receive a new one at Christmas from a relative. I play it safe with Marc Jacob’s ‘Daisy’ or YSL’s ‘Black Opium’ and rarely experiment with fragrance. Often, I don’t know where to …
Primark’s Trio Nail Varnishes in ‘Nudes’
There’s something about freshly painted nails that just make you feel like you’ve got your life together. I have a bad habit of picking at my nails, so when they get to a good stage where I can paint them and they don’t look like a stubby mess I feel as though I have accomplished …
Best Make-Up Bits For Colds
I just can’t seem to shake it no matter the amount of Olbas oil, echinacea or flu tablets I have. Blowing my nose constantly has left me looking like Rudolph (at least I fit with the festive theme) and I’m getting a bit sick of coughing and spluttering every five minutes. When I have a …
Leighton Denny Two of a Kind: The Perfect Beauty Stocking Filler
As I’m not hugely experimental with my make-up, the only festive effort I’ll make is perhaps a red lip…I steer away from glittery eyeshadows and any of the artistry that you see on Instagram. The one thing I always make an effort with, however, is my nails. (Maybe because this is pretty foolproof, unlike winged …
Autumn Favourites
It’s that time of the year when the clocks go back, the trees are decorated with oranges and reds and the perfect evening is one snuggled under a warm blanket with a cup of tea (I’m an 80 year old at heart). I think we’ve all been clinging onto the last remnants of a summer …
Aldi’s New Jo Malone-Inspired Reed Diffusers
I’ve had somewhat of a mild obsession with decorating my home with candles, potpourri and reed diffusers. If it smells nice and looks pretty, I’ll buy it! Even if it just perches on a shelf as a decorative piece looking pretty, just waiting in the queue of things to be used, I’ll just keep getting …
The Alfa Italia Detangling Hair Brush That’s Become A Staple Beauty Item
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 …
Crabtree & Evelyn’s NEW Everyday Nature’s Care Collection: A Fragrance For Every Need
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 …
