Whenever I’m in Lush I always seem to go for the most exciting, colourful things they’ve got… And even though all Lush bath bombs are amazing for your skin, this time I decided to try something that would give me a little bit more than what their usual bath time goodies offer. I opted for … Continue reading
Gone Fishing
Now that it’s spring I’ve been going mad for pastel nails, and when I’m not near a Barry M counter, Topshop is my second best for polishes… They have a huuuge range of colours and always manage to keep more shades coming! So whilst I was in there the other day I picked up … Continue reading
Una Brennan Tea Flower Deep Clean Clay Mask
‘Feel like you’ve had a facial everyday’ I’m a huuuge skincare hoarder and really do believe that if you invest a little in your skincare, your skin will thank you for it. No, I’m not one of the lucky few that are blessed with perfect skin, I used to suffer quite a lot with mild … Continue reading
Black + White
So, today I’ve been helping my lovely friend Amy out again with her fashion photography and realised I still haven’t posted any of the pictures from the last shoot we did last week! I think Amy’s theme for this shoot was Black and White as all of the edited images she’s sent me so far … Continue reading
The Tanning Station – Dress Agency
I’ll admit, I love nothing more than a good clothes hunt, finding hidden gems amongst rails of second hand clothes. And it turns out other people do to! Over the last year or so, there’s been a real buzz around the idea of thrifting, I mean, come on, there was even a song about it! … Continue reading
We Have Kittens!
So, I didn’t have a blog post planned for today, that was until I was woken up this morning by the squeaks of Jemima’s first born child… Yes, she had given birth in my bed! It was no surprise that she was pregnant, she’d been waddling around the house for the past god knows how … Continue reading
Sunday’s @ Noels – The Ann Duggan Band
As most of you probably won’t know, this little blog of mine was originally a music blog, with gig reviews and new artists being featured every now and then. But as my interests changed, so did my blog, and the music side of me was left behind… However, last night my uncle Matthew took me … Continue reading
Lush Blackberry Bath Bomb
Every time I visit Lush I always end up coming out with the same bath bombs I’ve tried over and over again. And as much as a love my firm favourites (yeah, Spacegirl, I’m looking at you) I’ve decided to branch out a little bit. I picked up their Blackberry offering as I’m a lover … Continue reading
‘The Only Way is Ethics’
I think sometimes in today’s society we forget the importance of the environment. I mean I’m no tree hugger or anything and I’m far from vegetarian (we all ❤ Bacon) but I do believe it’s important to be aware of the ethical issues behind the products we buy. This is where Lush comes in. I’ll … Continue reading
The Fault in our Stars – Book Review
It feels like forever now since I read this, but as the internet went crazy today over the release of the ‘set to be blockbuster’s’ trailer, I felt like it was relevant to do this little review now. The book, written by famous YouTuber John Green, manages to pull out emotions in you you didn’t … Continue reading
Stamping the Stereotype: Size Zero Models
Fashion magazines as a whole are grouped and criticised for creating unrealistic images of women, photoshopping and airbrushing their way to the top. The size zero models that we see in high end fashion magazines are now just brushed off as ‘the norm’ but they are having huge impacts on young girls growing up in … Continue reading
So I Can Still Eat Chocolate?!
I’ve been breaking out quite a lot recently, I normally shrug it off and put it down to hormones. That was until someone told me that the way I eat can effect my skin and suddenly I felt guilty for my ‘a mars a day keeps the doctor away’ motto. But it turns out they were … Continue reading
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Review
A lot has changed since the last time we were in Panem; The Girl on Fire’s flames really are catching. The film begins itself with the return of District 12’s Katniss and Peeta. After surviving the Games and royally pissing off the Capitol, they think they’re safe. They’re so wrong. Moments after we see the pair … Continue reading
