Since writing my post last month on oil diffusing, I’ve really become quite obsessed with essential oils. Then again, it’s not only me, my boyfriend is pretty impressed too; he lights the tea light in our oil burner or turns our diffuser on more often than I do. I think we will both freely admit…

Makeup Geek Eye Shadow Pan Haul
A few weekends ago Beauty Bay did an offer where all Makeup Geek products were half price. I pretty much praised the heavens and decided it was the best time to make an order. Only a few days previously I composed a list of shadows I needed, so it was fate really.The eye shadow pans…
Series of Firsts: First Kiss
I’m starting a new series over here on my little corner of the internet, called Firsts. I’m always very open and will gladly share all most things, so I thought it’d be good to write about my first experiences of certain events/milestones etc. And what better way to kick this off with an embarrassing tale…
Scope’s #30toWatch – Nobody is ‘too pretty’ to be in a Wheelchair
Last year I wrote a post about being disabled and wearing makeup; I never thought it’d get as much attention as it did because I was simply expressing my views on how society judges disabled people that choose to put cosmetics on their face. I knew it was as issue, I knew a lot of…
A Pale Girls Dream: The Body Shop Shade Adjusting Lightening Drops
I never complain about being pale, I’m very happy looking like a cute ghost; but what does annoy me is the lack of really fair foundations available. The majority of brands seem to have no idea that us milk-bottle-coloured people wear makeup and we want our face to match the rest of our body. It’s…

Buh Bye Negativity: Cutting out Toxic People
How many times do you give a person, ‘one more chance’? Why do you keep forgiving them when they let you down? Why are they part of your life if all they do is cause hassle, stress, emotional turmoil? After almost 30 years, I’ve finally learned that it’s okay to cut off toxic people. It’s…
Skincare with Indeed Labs
When I got this package, I have to say, I was more than excited. I love skincare and I’m always willing to try new products, but I like to test them for 4-6 weeks before I make my mind up on whether they’re a hit or not. *** Spoiler Alert *** I’m a massive fan….
Stationery Haul
I haven’t done a haul post in ages, and over the last week I’ve gone a bit mad with stationery, so thought I’d share what I’ve bought…because who doesn’t love stationery?I did quite a bit of damage in Paperchase as I went twice in one week; once to Milton Keynes with Shona, and the second…
Diagnosed 10 Years Ago Today
Last month I wrote a letter to myself on the day I was diagnosed, I mentioned that the date has been burned into my memory, and today is that date ten years on. 06/06/06Six six six Ten years. Ten whole years since someone told me the strangest words I’d ever heard. Since, I didn’t have…
