I’m currently in that awkward in-between phase where my eyelashes are starting to poke back through but are too short to properly wear mascara. It seems as though they’ve taken forever to grow back this time, and I’m so looking forward to being able to wear mascara again! (My aim was to have them back …
Soap & Glory Make-Up Bits For Trichotillomania
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 …
Baking Tips: How To Do Chocolate Drip Icing
Drip icing isn’t something new, but it seems to be having a real moment recently.

Like so many, I’m not a fan of my natural hair. If I don’t blow dry it or style it, I’m left with slight waves with a frizzy and course texture (no, I’m not a horse). It’s put straight up and hidden in a pony tail or bun when in this state, and so I …
Classic Banana Bread Recipe (With A Couple of Healthy Twists)
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 …

They’ve been around for years now, but somehow I only tried my first beauty subscription box in December.

Quick & Easy Healthy Banana And Blueberry Muffins
