Here we are. Blue Monday. Are you battling with it today? Whether you’re at home, at work, at a desk, or even on holiday (lucky you) then remind yourself that you’re allowed five minutes, even ten, take a whole hour, fuck it take the day to reset and get those batteries charged for the rest of January. I need to take my own advice on this one. Fueled by a dreaded cold, I am looking forward to some down time this evening. Not just grey skies outside but there are a few clouds clogging up my mind too. We all have these days, we are allowed to…
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you will know that I used to be a BIG Birchbox fan. Big big big! I was a dedicated subscriber for over a year. I always blogged about my monthly packages, month after month, on the dot. Firstly, because well… content. Gotta get that regular content, right? Birchbox is a fantastic way to try brand new or already loved beauty products. Stock up and keep them coming, that’s what I say! Learn more about the concept here. More hilariously, take a look back on my posts and my really inexperienced photography here. Cringe! Why did I stop? Well,…
I think we would all agree that’s it’s too late to do a full blown festive dedication to this blog instalment. In hindsight, I should have had this ready immediately after Christmas and shared my December iPhone pics but unfortunately cheese and wine coma attacked and there really was no coming back from that.

So, a compromise is on the cards, I’ll do half December through to the start of Jan and then pick up again in February. Plus, January as we all know is very uneventful…
A mammoth task, a post like this. Trying to sum up all the things I loved in 2018, jumping from season to season, trend to trend. Taking a look back, it seems that 2018 bought me some structure and some routine. I guess you could say I am becoming more and more comfortable with my image (something which is always a journey, never a destination). This made purchasing beauty products and clothes relatively easy. During the latter part of the year I dyed my hair dark and this sort of set off a little fire inside of me. I began to really ‘get’ what I was about,…
Beauty topics are something that I don’t prioritise writing about, mainly because I know what I know and I like what I like. I’ve never been the kind of girl to be the first at the queue for the newest Charlotte Tilbury release. With that said, every now and then I stumble across a brand that I just love, new or old. With Christmas under our belts, I delve into my beauty stash more so than ever. The festive period calls for lots of glittery make-up, a red lip to admire, plenty of nourishing skincare products and a handful of body butters to battle post cheese belly.…
