2019 Standouts

Happy New Year! I can't believe we're in 2020 - it just sounds odd. Last year was a tough one, it had its highs and lows, and I am quite happy to see the back of it if I'm honest. The start of last year, around this time was very tough in my work life. 

Everything seemed to be getting too much to handle, but I made it through. Then in the middle of the year, my lovely grandma passed away so suddenly - and a few days before my birthday too, which was tough. Everything seemed to be going wrong, and life has just been all over the place. I feel like my space on the internet has suffered because of it too, but my NY resolution is to come back with A BANG. 

I'm having a fresh start, keeping positive and ready to take the year ahead on with every inch of my body. I'm so excited to share with you today, some products that I have loved over the last year. Products that I can see myself loving for a very long time...

Head to Toe Party

'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Its that time of year, when the sequins come out, the red lip makes an appearance and the Xmas music is heard all over the world. Its PARTY SEASON! I for one could not be happier, this is the perfect time of year to wear whatever you want and feel fabulous. I went to one christmas do at the weekend with work and a few more planned with friends - who even am I? This is a quick run through of my easy, yet pretty party look that requires very little effort, but will leave you looking and feeling wonderful. 

Winter Skincare Routine

Happy December! I can't believe the most exciting (and busy) month of the year is upon us already. I for one, am very much looking forward to the all the festivities. As a primary school teacher, everything is more exciting at this time of year. Even though everything is fun and cosy, there are things that make it unbearable, one thing being - the weather. It has been so cold recently and my body has really taken the brunt of it. I've been poorly all weekend and my skin has been dry AF. I was in desperate need of a new skincare routine a couple of weeks ago and switching things up has been the greatest idea of mine. 

The Christmas Gift Guide For The One Who Has It All

We all have that one person (or people), who are so difficult to buy for! They either don't tell you what they want, so already have everything. These are the kind of people that make Christmas shopping more difficult to do, then its meant to be. I know this gift guide seems a little early, but with only 1 month to go till the big day, its time to get thinking and sorting. I've create my annual Christmas spreadsheet to put everything down for everyone and its proving rather difficult...there are just some people who are impossible to buy things for! Hopefully, this small guide will give you some inspiration...

Sudocrem, The Unsung Hero

In the beauty world, there are 100s of products released every week. Some are hits and others are flops, in the skincare world there is one product that I come back to, time and time again. In my mind, if you use/repurchase a product more than twice, then its a holy grail and worth the splurge. For me this is 'Sudocrem', this unsung hero does not get enough praise for all its qualities and uses. Fear not, I will explain why it is an item you need to have in your stash - and it won't break the bank. 

Pixi Pretties Collection Review & Swatches

Pixi have my heart. I am yet to find one product from them that I hate/dislike, and now their latest makeup collection has got me loving them even more. The Pixi Pretties collection* is a range of makeup that they have released with different influencers. For once, a brand has done a collaboration with people who I actually know! All 5 women are people who I regularly watch on YouTube and adore, their makeup, style and whole personality is just amazing! Let's see how they work..
