The Ordinary Skincare

First blog post of 2018 and I am starting the year with a skincare chat. Not a detailed review, as I am not a skincare expert, but I am just going to share my thought on a few things I have tried from The Ordinary, who offer fab products at affordable prices, including blogger favourites like: Hyaluronic Acid and Glycolic Toner. And they now have a counter in Glasgow too, which is fantastic news!

Our Christmas Eve traditions


Christmas is a magical time in our house. From decorations, festive scents and yummy food, to the atmosphere and little traditions I like to get the kids involved in. One of the most special parts of the celebrations for us is Christmas Eve, as the build up of excitement reaches it's peak level and the kids cannot wait to wake up the next day to find their presents under the tree.

Season's Cleanings

With Christmas only days away, I am secretly relieved that I am not hosting any guests this festive season. I get myself all worked up and panic and as a self confessed hoarder, I always have a lot of organising to do. The team at Vorwerk asked me to take part in their Season’s Cleanings campaign, designed to reveal the lengths people go to when it comes to impressing guests and I am going to tell you all about my cleaning habits.

Christmas Gift Guide: stocking fillers & more.

Only one more week till Christmas and here is my final Christmas gift guide! Perfect if you still have some shopping to do. All of these items are available instore and online so you can definitely get them in time. I must admit - I am only half way there with my xmas shopping and I am going to brave the shops on Monday to tick the remaining bits off my  list. 

Gift Guide For Her

This gift guide was definitely my favourite one to put together, as it features my current favourite fragrances, stunning jewellery, accessories and gift sets. I would consider all of these pieces quite luxurious, but I included options for budgets from £25 - £160.

Christmas gift guide - beauty gadgets.

It's time for another gift guide and this time it's all about electrical beauty. From hair tools, to face cleansing, nail care and foot care. There's a gadget for everyone.

Christmas Gifts from Soap & Glory (£5 to £30)

Soap & Glory always smash it at Christmas time with their fabulous gift sets and stocking fillers. Their SPA Of Wonder Star Gift*(£30.00) just dropped at Boots and it is a BARGAIN! Here's the low down on what's inside and some more gift ideas for S&G fans. 

Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Shine Lipsticks

I am a huge fan of Giorgio Armani lip products, especially the incredible Lip Magnets, so I was really excited to try the new Ecstasy Shine Lipsticks*(£29.00). Using matte lipsticks all the time can be a bit drying for the lips, so it's important to switch things up and go back to more hydrating formulas like this one. Can you see the gorgeous shine?
