As this update is coming about 6 weeks later than I had planned, I should probably address the fact that it's also my first blog post in about 2 months. The reason? Simply, I had a major content block - I wasn't sure what I wanted to create/write about, I didn't want to half arse… Continue reading LIFESTYLE / 5 Things for 2019, update #1

BEAUTY / How I…get high end makeup palette looks for less
So after a brief hiatus (can 3 weeks be classed as brief? The only acceptable answer here is yes btw) I'm back with the next instalment of my little beauty post series. For my first one I focussed on lip products and next up is eyes. There are so many amazing eyeshadow palettes out there,… Continue reading BEAUTY / How I…get high end makeup palette looks for less
BEAUTY / How I make make my lips…
Since I have made a commitment this year to be more thoughtful about my fashion and beauty spending, I thought I would do a series sharing the beauty items I reach for most for each part of the face and body. I'm kicking things off lips - I like to chat so, ya know, makes… Continue reading BEAUTY / How I make make my lips…
BEAUTY/ Skincare haul (August 2018)
I seem to be a bit of skincare junkie lately! Recently I've started to understand my skin a lot better - what it naturally does and what effects my makeup/the environment have on it, so I've been doing some research into the best ingredients to improve the bits that need a bit of help, in… Continue reading BEAUTY/ Skincare haul (August 2018)
BEAUTY/ Skincare saviours: helping my face to get its groove back
Over the past few months I’ve noticed that my face has become increasingly ‘muddy’ and that my skin has generally not been looking it’s best at all. I put some of this down to the stress of starting a new job and moving home but, now things have started to settle down I feel as… Continue reading BEAUTY/ Skincare saviours: helping my face to get its groove back
FASHION & BEAUTY / Post birthday haul (2018)
After the birthday celebrations comes... the spending of more money! I was lucky enough to get a bit of money for my birthday too so, coupled with some of my own, I hit ASOS and Harvey Nichols hard. There were a lot more things as part of this haul, mainly fashion, however they've had to… Continue reading FASHION & BEAUTY / Post birthday haul (2018)
BEAUTY/ My microblading experience
I have rubbish eyebrows. I was one of the infamous 90s over pluckers (I was 12 and there was nobody around to educate us tweens properly back then) in addition to this I kind of 'play' with my brows as a kind of comfort mechanism which is made them extra crazy and sparse. I'm also… Continue reading BEAUTY/ My microblading experience
LIFESTYLE/ 20 years since Sex and the City: how relevant is it today?
I first saw Sex and the City when I was about 18, and last year I made a pilgrimage to Carrie Bradshaw's famous stoop whilst on holiday in New York City. Even at the age of 34, 16 years later, I was beyond excited to pay it a visit. Although I'm asking this question as… Continue reading LIFESTYLE/ 20 years since Sex and the City: how relevant is it today?
FASHION, BEAUTY & LIFESTLYE/ My birthday wish list (2018)
It's almost that time of year again....I really like birthdays, but this year I'm feel a bit oversensitive about getting older. Ugh. So I've put together a few things I've had my eye on lately, hopefully one or two of them will end up in my hot little hands come 21 June! 1. Oliver Bonas… Continue reading FASHION, BEAUTY & LIFESTLYE/ My birthday wish list (2018)
BEAUTY/ I tried the Primark ‘Nudes’ collection
I'm not usually a 'do a review on a current beauty product' kind of a girl, in fact I usually go out of my way to avoid being that girl. However, I've been seeing some chatter online about the new Primark 'PS... Nudes' collection and decided that actually, this time I am going to be… Continue reading BEAUTY/ I tried the Primark ‘Nudes’ collection
