Since I’ve hit my 30s I’ve been aware of how much I have neglected my skin care. This is partly through ignorance and partly because of my mental and physical health. There are days when, after washing, all I want to do is collapse into a heap. Earlier in the year when I was having…
I’ve found how quickly this year is flying by to be quite scary. It is now only 3 months until December and of course, then the Christmas rush is on. However, I’ve already seen a lot of people starting their shopping and some who have even finished. So right now is a great time to…

Back in December, I was kindly treated to a new charm bangle and a couple of charms from the lovely people at Lily Charmed, since then I have updated you on its progress. Most recently I was sent a new charm from one of their latest charm realise, which includes some lovely pieces such as…
I’ve found since I’ve had to wear daily contact lenses the world seems like a much brighter place, which means you often see me rocking sunglasses even on the more dull days of the week. So it isn’t much of a surprise I’ve been stocking up my sunglasses collection, so when I was contacted to…
