During pregnancy there are certain products and ingredients you are recommended to avoid so I have had to remove some items from my skincare routine. I am a BIG fan of retinol but this is a total no no for use during pregnancy so I have had to hide them away, there was a lot [...]

Recent Empties
I find other peoples Empties posts really quite interesting so I am hoping you will enjoy mine. I had run out and already repurchased the first product in my list and it got me thinking that I have a few other product bottles waiting to be recycled. In fact I realised I have 8 products [...]
Life begins again…
Before the virus that must not be named hit us all and disrupted our lives I would get my nails done religiously every two weeks and my grey roots would barely be allowed to see the light of day before my hairdresser painted them away every four weeks. So during the last year I have [...]
Current Morning Skincare Faves
Happy skin I thought my skin looked quite happy today so inspired me to write about what i'm using in the mornings at the moment. I realise I haven't written for so long about skincare (or anything else) that I must be due an update on here... Actually though I am still in love with [...]
Where to put your SPF.
EVERYWHERE. End of blog post. Only joking. You may or may not have seen the video of Gwyneth Paltrow for Vogue talking through her skincare routine. If you haven't you should google it, or maybe you shouldn't as in my opinion it is very irresponsible. Basically Gwyneth only applies sunscreen after using a facial scrub [...]

Royal Wedding Looks I Love
I had managed to avoid all Wedding Fever until this morning when at 9am I switched over from CBeebies (sorry Mr Tumble) to BBC One and I'm afraid that as they say is that. I was hooked! I'm not even ashamed to admit that I felt a bit choked up when Harry got out the [...]
What’s in my toiletry bag?
On trips away pre twins I would take a huge suitcase and more toiletries than shoes and clothes. I would have taken every serum I own 'just in case', two toners, two moisturisers and 3 cleansers. But since the twins arrival if we have had the odd night away from home I have had to [...]
