"You've got to grab 35 by the balls and say 'hey, world, I'm 35!'" Samantha Jones, Sex and the City (2001) I don't quite have Samantha's confidence in ageing, but I hope someday I will! For now I'd simply like to share the positivity of my latest birthday, which is the wonderful thought and gifts… Continue reading FASHION, FOOD & FUN/ What I got and did for my Birthday (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/ Love and rainbows
This entire setup is giving all the #pride feels but I swear it's pure coincidence that this is Pride month...no seriously, I'm not clever enough to plan it! If any tee was ever begging for a back shot, it was this one! I hadn't actually realised it had the lips on when I picked it… Continue reading FASHION/ Love and rainbows
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)
LIFESTYLE/ I tried Boom Bod, and this is what happened…
My name is Jenny Chat and I'll buy things I see online with very little thought other than "ooh wow, yes please!" My latest impulse purchase came in the form of the latest 'weight loss aid' Boom Bod, promoted by reality stars and US Instagram stars. For 7 days you take a small 'shot' (blackcurrant… Continue reading LIFESTYLE/ I tried Boom Bod, and this is what happened…
FASHION/ Cute but savage (but cute)
Another day, another sassy slogan tee...how do they all manage to sum me up in very different ways?!? I feel that people often presume I'm more on the 'cute' side - friendly, agreeable, just kind of there to do whatever when asked. However, there's definitely a 'savage' side that comes out to play when needed… Continue reading FASHION/ Cute but savage (but cute)
LIFESTYLE/ Hayfever hacks
This may seem like a bit of an odd (or maybe even boring) post to some of you, however to others it may just make the next few months a whole lot easier! It wasn't until last year that I discovered just how debilitating hayfever can really be. I have suffered with it on and… Continue reading LIFESTYLE/ Hayfever hacks
FASHION / The Met Gala 2018 looks that had me shook
I may be deep into house move mode (quick update: we're in but are largely surrounded by mountains of unpacked boxes containing items we haven't seen in almost a year and probably forgot we had) but I couldn't let the #MetGala2018 go by without having a good ol' nosey at what everyone was wearing could… Continue reading FASHION / The Met Gala 2018 looks that had me shook
LIFESTYLE/ BRB, just dropping some £££ on a new house
If you read last week's follow up post to my '5 Things for 2018' (you can have a nosey here if you missed it) you'll have seen that, at long last, I'm moving into a new house soon. Well, soon has turned into now. Like, THIS WEEK. For the past couple of weeks I've been… Continue reading LIFESTYLE/ BRB, just dropping some £££ on a new house
