Do you ever have those memories that are so clear you can almost see them in your mind as if you’re an outsider looking in? As if they happened yesterday? This is how I remember my first experience with alcohol. I’m 30 now and haven’t had a bevvy in almost five years. Mostly because it…

June #Paperhaul Stationery Subscription Collection
The June #Paperhaul arrived today and I knew I had to photograph it and show you all immediately as it’s so bloody beautiful. Yes, in today’s heat I sat with my camera taking these pictures because I’m so dedicated…I also felt guilty because there was no new content up today and I always post on…
Worried About an MRI Scan? Tips and Advice
I’ve had MRI scans every year since I was 13; I’m now 30 so I’ve had quite a few. However, because I’m very claustrophobic, I always get anxious before the scan, and sometimes work myself up for a few days before despite knowing what to expect. I had a brain MRI scan a few weeks…
Tarte Takeover
I’ve been having a bit of an affair with Tarte Cosmetics lately and although I’ve not worn makeup in a few weeks (combination of crap health and staying at home in my pjs) when I have decided to slap something on, these are the products I’ve been reaching for.Base Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Full…

Nip+Fab have recently extended their line and released a large selection of makeup that I knew I had to get my hands on. I popped into Northampton a few weeks ago and the Nip+Fab stand in Superdrug was pristine, with not a fingerprint in sight; very dissimilar to the Nyx display in Boots that looked…
I Changed My Name: One Year On
A year ago (almost to the day) I wrote a post about how I changed my surname at almost 30 years old. You can read the how and why I did it in my original post here. But I thought I’d do a little update and let you know why it’s one of the best…
May Favourites and National Smile Month
I’ll hold my (very sore) hands up and admit that I’ve been a shit blogger for the month of May. To be honest not only have I been in a lot of pain, especially with my hands and arms, I’ve just not been in the mood. I’m hoping since I’ve blogged twice this week it…
May #Paperhaul Stationery Subscription Collection
When May #Paperhaul arrived I shrieked in excitement because flamingos are one (dogs and giraffes the other faves) of my all-time favourite animals and I knew before opening the package (there’s a sticker on the parcel that gives a sneak peek at the inside) that I was going to be obsessed. First off let me…
5 Binge-Worthy Netflix Shows
You may or may not have noticed that I didn’t post much last week. I had a pretty shitty few days the week before and decided I needed to give myself a break from my blog. I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself to write and schedule three posts a week that it was…
