Christmas shopping for my 2-year-old little girl, Penelope, gets more fun every year. Last year she didn’t really have a clue what was going on. This year she’s very aware of the big guy in the red suit and I’m cooking dinner for the very first time, so it kind…

The countdown has officially begun! Today the tree is going up and my ban on Christmas films has been lifted. My husband doesn’t really care about Christmas but I love every second of it. This year, Penny has a better understanding of what is going on and the big day…
A hot bath filled with bubbles and surrounded by candles is my favourite way to relax. I’m always running out of luxurious bath products so when this little bottle of Sensual Rose Bubble Bath & Shower Gel from Kathleen Natural arrived at my door I almost immediately filled the tub…
My creased forehead has always been the feature I dislike most about my appearance. I love any excuse to wear a huge woolly hat so I can pull it over my face as low as possible to disguise it. The thought of Botox has always appealed to me but I’m terrified…
As much as I adore stocking fillers, you can’t deny how jaw-dropping beautiful these high-end treats are. If you’re looking to indulge in some premium skincare and makeup this year, I’ve got you covered. Today’s post includes everything from coveted face palettes, makeup vaults, complexion gadgets and luxurious skincare pearls that…
The heavenly aroma of lemongrass and lavender were escaping through my package from Candle Jar before I had even opened it. I find the smell of lavender instantly calming, I think it’s because it reminds me of the pillow spray I drench my bedsheets in every night. Candle Jar showcases the best…
Opening my stocking is one of my favourite Christmas traditions. I love tipping it upside down to find everything from chocolate coins, boozy miniatures, hair bobbles and nail files inside. I also love all the gift sets filled with travel-sized goodies available at this time of year. They are such a…
Lottie London is a makeup brand that not nearly enough people are talking about. I’m a huge fan of their Shimmer Squad Highlighter Quad and Shadow Swatch Palette. Recently I purchased their Selfie Ready Foundation after reading countless glowing reviews from EmmyWritesAbout and their Lottie London x Thuy Le Living My Best…
I’ve been getting the most out of the amazing Black Friday offers I’ve come across this week. I’ve pretty finished my Christmas shopping and saved a lot of money in the process, plus I’ve grabbed myself a few treats along the way including a cute vintage-style jumper from Joanie and the…
Finding the perfect gift for a loved one at Christmas can often be a time-consuming and frustrating task. From my experience, there are a few gifts that are guaranteed crowd pleasers such as chocolates, food hampers, a bottle of their favourite tipple or a good book, especially if it’s already related…
Penny, my funny little 2-year-old girl, loves animals, nature and getting incredibly messy. I quickly fell in love with the concept behind Mud & Bloom before their November box even arrived. I’ve always believed that giving children the opportunity to explore the world around them and connect with nature is incredibly important…
I have a newborn baby and a toddler currently in the midst of her ‘terrible twos’, so you can bet I drink a hell of a lot of coffee to get me through the day. My Nescafé Dolce Gusto Machine is pretty much the love of my life. The manual Jovia is…
I love Christmas shopping for my girls, but it can often feel a little overwhelming. We’re a family on a budget so ideally, I want to buy toys that are obviously lots of fun, age-appropriate, affordable and, as Penny has a wonderful imagination, further inspire her to create and explore whilst supporting…
Giving a newborn a bath can be very stressful. Poppy is 5-weeks-old and still very tiny and fragile. Bathing her is a two-man job because she hates the water so is very wriggly, incredibly slippery and always ends up scratching her wee face as soon as her mittens are removed. I also…
It’s no startling revelation that I love makeup and spend way too much time scrolling through the ‘What’s New’ pages of Beauty Bay, Cult Beauty and Space NK. I’m also constantly searching for online promo codes to financially back my addiction. I love experimenting and discovering new brands and products…
