How do you feel about ageing? I of course mean how do you feel about the visible signs of ageing? I am asking because lately I feel that I look my age or dare I say it older than my age. I suppose I must be slightly spoilt as I have always been told and [...]

The Perfect Lip Balm
I went away this weekend for one night in the Cotswolds with my sister and my three boys. My sister stayed here Friday night so we could leave nice and early to make the most of the short time we had away from home. When she arrived here after work I was complaining that my [...]
My Microblading Journey
I started life like most people with perfectly acceptable eyebrows. But somewhere during my teen years I decided to butcher them with a pair of tweezers. I plucked them to within an inch of their life and that's being generous, I had the thinnest line of hairs at one point and I used to tweeze [...]
Happy Hair
The first time I ever dyed my hair I was still in high school and I dyed it myself at home using a box colour. I selected a rich red colour and I remember the feeling of liking it red but as I grew older I became absolutely against any red in my hair whatsoever. [...]
Current Skincare Routine
I haven't really had a strict skincare regime since Miller was born, I was trying something here something there and even had botox back at the beginning of December but I just felt Bleeeurgh (is that a word??). My skin was dull and I convinced myself that it was my age, the lack of sleep, [...]
Beauty Pie Haul
Today was another Beauty Pie delivery day. Thank goodness it was because I needed something to cheer me up after a night of no sleep. If anyone knows why my 11 month old is making this weird humming/droning/whining noise in his sleep then please tell me why! It is driving me mad. Anyway back to [...]
Back To Basics
Every now and again I buy a new skincare product because of the hype around it or because an influencer has been paid to say it’s their favourite product ever and yes I am 41 years old and still falling for it! I managed to get my hands on a travel size of Charlotte Tilbury [...]
Seriously Into Podcasts
Are you a fan of podcasts? I LOVE them. The first podcast I ever listened to was Serial, I was seriously fascinated and may I say slightly obsessed with the story of Adnan Syed and poor Hae Min Lee. If you have not listened to Serial then I am jealous you get to hear it [...]
Skincare Most Wanted
Maybe its because I haven't been quite so obsessed with my skincare routine lately but my skin is just not happy at the moment. Where has my glow gone? Is it just my age? Or is it because I haven't been as strict with my retinol? I haven't used Tretinoin in my skincare since before [...]
Mini Skincare Haul
For someone who isn't as interested in skincare as I once was I am doing a pretty good job at hiding it. Today I received in the post my online order from Dr Sam's. I have ordered two products I always use that I needed and one new product to try. I use Flawless Cleanser [...]
