NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR 2014

Tuesday 31 December 2013


I hope you've all had a Merry Christmas and a fantastic year! 2013 has been an interesting year but I anticipate 2014 being ever better. I thought I'd make resolutions here so I wouldn't forget them and I'd have more chance of sticking by them!

INSTAGRAM UPDATE #12 | 12 MONTHS OF MEMORIES

Monday 30 December 2013


For my 12th week of the Instagram Update I wanted to reflect on my year! Highlights include graduating from university, going to Devon with my boyfriend and Christmas.

CHRISTMAS BEAUTY HAUL

Sunday 29 December 2013


I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I was working Christmas Eve and Boxing Day so I only had the one day off but I've now got 5 days off for the New Year. With my time off I've finally been blogging again and I'd like to share with you some of the beauty bits I got for Christmas.

INSTAGRAM UPDATE #11

Monday 23 December 2013


Welcome to the 11th week of Instagram Update! Apart from working, I've reached 200 followers on Bloglovin' so thank you to everyone who follows me - it means a lot :)

WORTH THE HYPE? | BENEFIT POREFESSIONAL

Sunday 22 December 2013

If you read lots of blogs like I do you won't have missed the hype about Benefit's POREfessional primer ever since its release (I don't actually know when it was released). In the first of a new series, I will be deciding whether this primer is really worth the hype.

WANT OF THE WEEK | URBAN DECAY NAKED 3 PALETTE

Friday 20 December 2013


How gorgeous is this palette? Last week (I think it was last week or even this week) Urban Decay released their long-awaited palette - Naked 3 Palette. It's £37 - a little pricey - but it's supposedly worth every penny!

SECRET SANTA PRESENTS

Thursday 19 December 2013


I haven't written many Christmas themed posts this December! I was considering doing a gift guide but they are everywhere, instead I wanted to show you the presents I got for a colleague (I'm her Secret Santa). The gifts are all from The Body Shop, as I love their products and I think a lot of their things make the perfect presents.

THE YULE MONTY | SOAP & GLORY

Wednesday 18 December 2013


Soap & Glory is excelling itself with gift sets this Christmas. Last week, The Yule Monty dropped from £60 to £27 and has been flying off the shelves. With 9 of their products, plus a limited edition Jonathan Saunders bag, this Soap & Glory set is the perfect present for wife/girlfriend/sister/mum/aunt or any other female relative!

INSTAGRAM UPDATE #10

Monday 16 December 2013

This is my 10th week of the Instagram Update and I've not been up to much. I'm working lots so I don't get time to do other things but my boyfriend is finally back from uni so I get to see him more, which is lovely!

LIFE POST #9 | WINCHESTER CHRISTMAS MARKET

Sunday 15 December 2013


Winchester is so beautiful this time of year - the cathedral looms over passersby in the bitter cold, as they hurry to experience the delights of the Christmas Market. Last Saturday I went with my boyfriend and his friends to the market. We weren't there very long but I managed to see some cool stalls and take some photos.

WANT OF THE WEEK | KNITTED GINGERBREAD MAN JUMPER

Saturday 14 December 2013

My want of the week is Topshop's Gingerbread Man Jumper! It's currently out of stock but I hope it will come back in soon or I'll end up searching for it on eBay. 

CHRISTMAS TREE SCENT

Friday 13 December 2013


I rarely use candles but I've always wanted to start using them more. I was on the lookout for a nice smelling candle that wasn't too expensive when I came across this one!

A/W WARDROBE ADDITIONS

Thursday 12 December 2013


I haven't done a fashion post in ages! These are a couple of things I've bought recently, which are Autumn and Winter appropriate and truly reflect my seasonal style - florals and a Christmas jumper.

MY FIRST LUSH EXPERIENCE

Tuesday 10 December 2013


A few weeks ago I purchased my first product from Lush. I continually hear about how amazing their bath stuff is, and I always wanted to try it for myself, so I finally sauntered into Westfield and bought myself a bath bar - The Christmas Penguin.

INSTAGRAM UPDATE #9

Monday 9 December 2013


I've decided to do Instagram updates on Monday instead of Sunday! So here's what I've been up to for the 9th week.

NOVEMBER FAVOURITES

Thursday 5 December 2013


It's the 5th December already, where has this year gone?! It seems to have flown by! Anyway, here are my 5 favourites for November (featuring mostly skincare products and a couple of other bits). I've mentioned all of these on my blog before in haul/spotlight posts!

LIFE POST #8 | CHRISTMAS AT KEW

Tuesday 3 December 2013


On Saturday, I spent the evening in Kew Gardens for their illuminated trail across the gardens. There was a vibrant mix of light, sound and colour to create the perfect wintery atmosphere.

INSTAGRAM UPDATE #8

Monday 2 December 2013


A day late (because I wanted to do The Christmas Tag on the 1st) but here's my Instagram Update for the 8th week!

THE CHRISTMAS TAG

Sunday 1 December 2013


It's finally December; I'm donning my Christmas jumper and getting ready to go to Kew Gardens for their Christmas trail. I'm definitely in the Christmas spirit so I thought I'd fill out a Christmas Tag (taken from London Kat).
