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 …
My All-Time Favourite Products
Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner I’ve tried loads of eyeliners in the past- from gel, to pen and liquid- and this is the one I always come back to. Collection have this knack of creating some real bargain hero products (including the Lasting Perfection concealer!), and this eyeliner is one of my faves. Whilst the nib …
A Sweet Healthy Snack For Gym Lovers: Protein Flapjacks
For a while now, I’ve been experimenting with differing recipes using protein powder. I absolutely adore baking (as you might have guessed), but with a gym-obsessed boyfriend with a sweet-tooth who moans about the amount of sugar and fat I’m tempting him with, I decided to try and find alternative ‘healthier’ recipes. Switching up ingredients …
New Beauty Dupes from Aldi
I love myself a bit of Aldi. We are forever stocking up on their own brand foods (I would thoroughly recommend their version of Terry’s chocolate orange bites), but in the past couple of years they have vastly developed their Lacura beauty range. I remember as a teenager trying out their moisturisers and thinking they …
The Best Savoury Snack: Cheddar and Bacon Pastry Straws
I have always posted a lot of recipes on this site; most of them sharing my love for baking. Cakes, brownies, biscuits and desserts…they all reflect my sweet-tooth! Apart from a couple of Slimming World recipes, I have never shared any savoury snacks on my blog. Well, this is about to change! This cheesy bacon …
Review: Kiss Beautiful Brow Kit
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 …
Why Makeup Is So Important for my Mental Health
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 …
Elegant Touch Nails: Chrome Collection
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 …
Recipe: Delicious (And Healthy) Banana Bread
According to science, your tastebuds change and regenerate every 7 years. I used to hate banana flavoured things, turning my nose up at the thought of banana muffins and the like. However, my taste has recently changed and I’ve started experimenting with different recipes for banana bread, having suddenly realised how amazing it is. Taking …
NEW EYELINER ALERT! Perfecting the Cat Flick with Flawless Lashes By Loreta
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 …
