Now to the beauty…I actually got this Soap and Glory ‘Glitz and Make-Up’ gift set for Christmas and have been trying out the products on and off since. You can’t go wrong with their gifts- even if you do end up with 20 tubes of Thick & Fast mascara! I soon discovered that this set …
It is estimated that up to 3% of the population will suffer from trichotillomania at some point in their lives. It’s also estimated that around 2% are at risk of developing alopecia, and 38% of us are likely to be diagnosed with cancer. Add to that a number of other factors, such as stress, and …
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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
