AD – GIFTED | I don’t review a lot of subscription boxes anymore, as you might have noticed. I rarely find one that really speaks to me (if anyone knows of any Yoga themed sub boxes, hit me up!) But every now and again, one will crop up that seriously piques my interest. One like …
GIFTED | I’m very flaky when it comes to skincare. I’ll go through hardcore phases where every product under the sun goes on my face. Then the following week I’m like, “what is moisturizer?” This may be due to the fact that due to the contraceptive pill I’m on, my skin is pretty bad. As …
GIFTED | I’ve always had a weird relationship with beauty and skincare. I’m either all in or all out. There’s no in between. I’ve gone through various phases with beauty and skincare, which I’ll get into in a bit. But ultimately, I’ve finally realised the importance of beauty and skincare not just for vanity purposes …
GIFTED | I’m going to be honest… I’ve been shit at looking after myself within the last few years. I mean, I attended my cervical screening when invited to make sure all was a-okay down there, I go to my 6 monthly contraception reviews with the nurse, I get my eyes checked when I’m due …
I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record but May? MAY. We’re over a third of the way through 2019 already and I swear the meltdown of New Years Eve 2000 was only 2 years ago? (Seriously though, who remembers that?) I hope you all had a lovely Easter, ate far too many …
GIFTED | Ah Spring. The word on everybody’s lips. Just when Winter felt like it would never end (although I’m not really complaining because I do love Winter) Spring bounced into our lives like the warm, joyous occasion it is. I’ve already seen my first lambs, the swans over at my local lake are getting …
#AD Happy New Year! I mean, how on earth are we in January already? I’m well aware that millions of people across the world have said the exact same thing and we’re all beginning to sound like broken records but SERIOUSLY. 2019. Twenty nineteen. I swear it was 2006 just 6 months ago. I’m super …
It’s been many a month since I’ve had any sort of proper skincare routine. I tend to get the odd few products for my birthday or for Christmas, use them and then not bother re-purchasing or buying new skincare until my next birthday rolls around. I know that sounds really stingy and in a way, …
Advent calendars are without a doubt one of the best things about Christmas. Even as an adult, my Mum still buys me a chocolate advent calendar every year to enjoy in the lead up to Christmas. Although she does buy the dog one as well so there’s that. Before I started blogging, I didn’t think …
Last month, I introduced monthly advertisers back on my blog after a long few years away from it. I’ve been so thrilled with the interest in these new packages and have thoroughly enjoyed having some lovely bloggers back in my sidebar and also the return of my monthly “meet the advertisers” posts. So due to …
I think subscription boxes are one of the most common things you see being reviewed on blogs these days. From beauty, food, books and even period care boxes, there seems to be a subscription box for absolutely anything you could possibly want. Beauty subscription boxes are certainly the most popular of the lot with the …
Ever since I was 12 or 13 years old and entered my “grunger” phase of life, I have loved eyeliner. Granted, my eyeliner looks have changed quite dramatically over the years and whilst I no longer look like a literal panda, I do still enjoy using eyeliners of different brands and shades. I mostly only …
Skincare is something most of us think about daily and something that has definitely become more of an importance in our general upkeep and even within our self-care routines. I don’t have a particularly fascinating past when it comes to my skin and skincare; as a teenager, my skin was okay with no major problems, …
Facial oils have always been a bit hit-and-miss with me. Possibly because I’ve never taken the time to learn how and when to use them properly and possibly because I’ve never found one that’s right for me. I’ve used plenty in the past that just made my face look greasy AF which wasn’t a good …
