*UPDATED* as of 31/10/13 Being the cool kid I am I’ve spent the first half of the bank holiday weekend getting our house neat and tidy. I’ve even finally tackled the mess that was my make up stash which is great news for me as I can now find everything easily and even greater news … Continue reading
Last night I joined the iFABBO and BlogTrends twitter chat on how to grow your blog readership. For upcoming bloggers I think events such as last night’s are crucial, not only for giving sound advice on blogging but also for networking with fellow bloggers. One of the key discussion points was guest blogging. Personally I … Continue reading
Because some days you just want to stand up and tell people what you really think…
I’m a huge fan of cream blushes so as soon as I heard Bourjois were launching a range of cream blushers I just had to find out more. It’s surprising that after almost 150 years Bourjois haven’t already created a cream blush, but hey, better late than never! The range currently comes in four colours … Continue reading
This is mine right now… Normal service will resume soon.
So sorry for the delay on my day 2 post, tetchy Tuesday left me so tired I was crawling into bed as soon as I’d had my last juice of the day. On the whole I didn’t find Tuesday too bad. Jason had warned us of withdrawal headaches and whilst by mid-afternoon I had a … Continue reading
Until a matter of weeks ago I was a complete juicing virgin, then I turned 26 and got myself a juicer. Spurred on partly by Mike’s insistence that I would get bored after a week I have been juicing the crap out of anything I can get my hands on and feeling a darn sight … Continue reading
I’m forever lusting over the stunning nail art some of my fellow beauty blogger manage to achieve and wishing I could replicate them. Unfortunately no matter how detailed the tutorial I just never manage to recreate their beautiful designs as I’m just so mal-coordinated when it comes to painting my nails that I only just … Continue reading
I recently received an email from the team at Best British Bloggers telling me that MoneySupermarket were running a competition to win £1000 to put towards your Spring/Summer wardrobe. All you had to do was create three separate looks inspired by this year’s styles and trends and each look could cost no more than £200. … Continue reading
Excuse the slightly battered box on this one, my postie was clearly having a bit of a bad day when he delivered this little package. Anyway, I’ve been using REN’s Clearcalm 3 Clarity Restoring Mask* for a few months now and thought it was about time I shared my thoughts with you. When the kind … Continue reading
The clocks have sprung forward and it’s officially British Summertime, or so I’m told, so for this week’s wish list I’ve allowed my mind to wander to those lazy, hazy summer days and one of my favourite looks, seersucker. 1. Seersucker Hair Bow – £4.76 + shipping from Etsy 2. Striped Double Duvet Cover Set – … Continue reading
A few weeks ago we headed up to Bicester Village in Oxford to do a bit of pre-birthday/pre-wedding shopping. It was a hugely successful trip which saw me picking up bridesmaid dresses for all 4 of my awesome ladies as well as finally finding the wedding shoes of my dreams. Mikey also managed to get … Continue reading
I have to say after last month’s mammoth empties post I thought this month’s would be a rather short but sweet affair. How wrong I was! Here’s what I’ve used up this month. Forlle’d Hyalogy P-Effect Clearance Cleansing and Re-Purerance Wash* When an ad for Forlle’d popped up on my Facebook feed I just knew it … Continue reading
Anyone who has seen my sporadic tweets recently will know that I’m sick at the moment. This has resulted in me feeling pretty sorry for myself, sleeping lots and generally whinging to anyone who will listen. That said, I’m not the kind of girl who is easily defeated so I’ve been hitting back at the … Continue reading
Today the folks at Benefit launched their awesome new Fake Up concealer. Earlier this week I blogged about the launch party where I learnt about what sets Fake Up apart from other concealers, and after putting all three shades through their paces over the last two weeks I thought it was about time I reviewed them. I love the … Continue reading
Last week the lovely ladies over at Benefit invited me down to their Covent Garden store for the launch of Fake Up, a brand new multi-purpose hydrating concealer that hits stores on March 30th. What makes Fake Up different from other concealers is its hydrating ring containing Vitamin E and Apple Seed Extract to leave … Continue reading
It’s that time of the month, the one week of the month where I’m best left to my own devices, sadly the same can’t be said of my skin which seems to be in a state of meltdown right now. Now there’s only two things to do in a situation like this, panicking wasn’t an … Continue reading
I’m usually not a huge fan of Barry M nail polish but as soon as I spotted these beauties I was converted. I mean just look at those colours, they just scream springtime! Lychee is a beautifully milky cream with a hint of taupe. I think this colour would be universally flattering no matter the … Continue reading
Our wedding is fast approaching which can only mean one thing….we’ll be jetting off on Honeymoon soon. I can hardly contain my excitement and am certain I will be bouncing off the walls by the time August comes around, particularly since reading Tara’s fantastic guest post on her stay at The BodyHoliday. Being the overly … Continue reading
Some time ago I mentioned rather excitedly that we’d finally booked our Honeymoon. If you missed that post you can find it here. Anyway the first thing I did after paying the deposit was start following The BodyHoliday on Twitter, which is how I met the lovely Tara Clark (@TaraClark86) who was just about to jet … Continue reading
