Vitamix: Vegan Ice Cream + Frozen Desserts


I am still obsessed with my Vitamix Pro 500* and I even got my husband into trying many of my creations. This instalment is all about frozen desserts, including healthy ice cream and smoothie bowls. They are super easy to create and taste AMAZING!

My Travel Skincare Bag


I never travel light, but I managed to keep things quite simple in terms of skincare when I was away for a week. Everything fitted into my Ted Baker Large Bow Wash Bag* and I was proud of myself for not taking my whole stash with me :) haha.

The industrial look is a popular interior design trend that combines raw, unfinished elements with sleek, modern touches. This aesthetic takes inspiration from old factories and industrial spaces, blending materials such as metal, wood, and concrete to create a unique, rugged yet refined ambiance. If you're looking to transform your living room into an industrial haven, here's a comprehensive guide on how to achieve that distinctive look.

Brand Focus: Tangle Teezer


My hair gets knotty easily, but for some strange reason I did not own a Tangle Teezer until now! I know... such a bad beauty blogger :) haha. I have other detangling brushes (with handles) though and I really like them, so I had an idea of what to expect from the Tangle Teezer  family. I was kindly sent three different designs to try out and I must admit - I am seriously impressed!

Suncare Essentials For The Full Family.


I am currently enjoying a seaside break and the weather is absolutely beautiful, so I finally got a chance to get a tan :) I am lucky to get a nice colour easily with my skin tone, but I always make sure to protect my skin from harmful rays when I am out and about or actually sunbathing on purpose :)

Love Me Beauty Box Review - July

  After a slightly disappointing Birthday Box, Love Me Beauty really surprised me with their fantastic selection of goodies for July. I opted for edition 1 and I couldn't be happier with my box. I received 7 products in total this month and six of them are full size!

Lipstick Addict Tag (with extra questions)


Hi everyone. I have seen many 'lipstick addict tags' floating around youtube and blogs, but I wanted to add my own questions and include all (or most) of my favourite lip products in one post. If you decide to do this tag on your blog or youtube, make sure to let me know on Twitter or in the comments on this blog post so I can have a look :)

Three Tips To Help With Packing

Packing for a holiday is rarely quick and easy and it can be difficult to remember absolutely everything that you need and to pack. We aways forget something, right? Often finding yourself surrounded with a pile of clothes that just don't fit in your suitcase. Not to mention all the toiletries and other essentials that you need to take, trying to stick to weight limits and all the liquid restrictions. It can become overwhelming and extremely stressful for some.

Weekend pamper #4

Remember when I mentioned that I might be going abroad at the end of the month? Well... it is not happening, but... the emergency option is there and we are travelling to Scarborough tomorrow :) Yay! The last time I went, it was really lovely, so I think we will enjoy it if the weather is nice. Fingers crossed for some sunshine,  I really need it! To prep for our my week away, I decided to have a little pamper evening with some treats for my face and body :)

Yves Rocher Secrets D'Essences Vanille Noire EDP Review


I am still obsessed with everything vanilla and I don't think I will ever get tired of it! The latest addition to my 'vanilla centric' perfume collection is Secrets D'Essences Vanille Noire by Yves Rocher, but unfortunately it isn't what I was looking for. 

Half Price Anna Sui Lip and Eye Colour Palettes


I am a self confessed palette addict, so I couldn't wait to play with these Anna Sui beauties! The Eye Color and Lip Color Palettes arrived a day before my birthday and it was love at first sight. The best part - you can get them 50% cheaper from Escentual, at only £14.00 each. From stunning packaging to amazing formulas, they tick all the boxes.

June Favourites


Wow, it's 11th of July and I just got round to writing my June favourites post. Ooops... I blame the beautiful weather for my laziness :) I have loads of amazing products to share with you though, most of them perfect for Summer. 

Shimmering Body Oils


It looks like I might be jetting off to a hot country at the end of the month. It wasn't planned (we were supposed to go in October) and we are not sure where we are going yet. Spain, Portugal and France are possible options, but we will just get the best last minute deal, if everything goes according to plan.  If not, we will just go to Scarborough with my in-laws for a week to enjoy the British seaside. The weather is supposed to be lovely from the 21st of July :) With that in mind, I went through my stash of shimmering body oils to make sure I have plenty to choose from. I am absolutely addicted to them and I go through many bottles in Spring/Summer.

Yves Rocher L'Eau Moment De Bonheur Review & Giveaway


Described as 'a breath of springtime' this scent is absolutely perfect for the warmer months. It smells very similar to DKNY Be Delicious and with a 50% discount, the 50ml bottle is a real bargain. I was kindly sent  L'Eau Moment De Bonheur by the Baobella team, but you can buy it from www.yves-rocher.co.uk. I am also giving one away, as I was sent two due to a Royal Mail fail. 

What's On My Desk and TaoTronics Elune Lamp Giveaway


To be completely honest, I prefer working on my laptop from the comfort of my giant corner sofa :) but... when I want to be more productive, I get things done at my desk. I  share it with my husband, so it isn't totally my style, but it is a nice little space and I like having my side more girly and Scott's side modern. The desk we ended up getting is an IKEA Alex which consists of two Alex units and a 200cm long white worktop. It is massive and exactly what we were looking for! The newest addition to our desk landscape is a black TaoTronics Elune Lamp*, which we both love and... I am also giving one away to one of my lucky readers! You can enter the competition, by filling in the rafflecopter widget on the bottom of this post.

There is nothing I love more in Summer, than a bronzed complexion and a nice golden glow. To help me achieve this look, I have been using two new Urban Decay releases. The Naked Skin Bronzing Beauty Balm and Naked Flushed Compact in Strip. I might be slightly obsessed with them :)

Sending restricted beauty items/blog sale advice


Hi everyone. Slightly different post today, but very important for those who consider having a blog sale, or simply send beauty items via Royal Mail. I personally didn't have a clue about any UK restrictions for sending beauty items like nail polish or perfume, so I thought I should write about it to warn you and help you prevent losing a lot of money. It's not a nice feeling, especially when it's a big amount. 

The Pro Hygiene Collection Antibacterial Makeup Spray


Keeping my makeup very clean and sterile is something I started paying more attention to when my skin went crazy and I decided to eliminate all bacteria that could aggravate it. You probably know that it's important to disinfect your makeup, but do you actually do it? I got a bottle of this antibacterial spray, before my first ever blog sale to make sure all the products are 100% clean and safe to use by another person. Obviously, it is a product I use most days as well and I think that everyone should own a bottle of it, or a cheaper alternative.
