Genetic Testing: Why It's Important

When it comes to your health, you should never turn down the opportunity for genetic testing. There are so many benefits here, whether the results are positive or negative for a gene mutation that you have asked your doctor to look for, test results give you a sense of relief from any uncertainty you may have been dealing with. 

And if you are living with family members who have experienced Alzheimer's, dementia or even Huntington's disease, then genetic testing can tell you a lot about yourself and your future. Negative results can eliminate the need for any unnecessary screenings or checkups, which is always a good thing, and a positive result can help you towards going down the road of prevention monitoring and any further treatment options. A cancer gene test can give you insight and help you to prepare for any future possibilities. Any gene testing is going to give you a window into your future. Let’s take a look at how genetic testing can be useful:

Marc Jacobs Honey EDP Review

I can't even describe how much I love the design of Marc Jacobs Honey EDP. It is beautiful, unique, fun and interesting. I also adore the colour combination, as it goes with my  new yellow, grey and white bedroom decor ;) I realise that some might find it tacky, but I am in love. What about the fragrance itself?

Home Decor: Why I love wood flooring...

I really love the look of wooden flooring and since we moved to a house with carpets in every room, I can't stop thinking about all the pros of having laminate. It is very easy to keep clean, more friendly for those with allergies and... it simply looks better in my opinion. 

Lash Boutique False Eyelashes Review

I love false lashes and I started wearing them regularly, after a long break. I tried the Rapid Lash Serum to make my natural lashes longer, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. Thankfully, the choice of falsies on the market is amazing and the good quality ones are very easy to apply and super comfortable. My latest discovery in the falsies department is a brand called Lash Boutique. I was kindly sent some of their lashes to try out and I am very impressed.

Sigma Creme De Couture Macaroon Inspired Palette Review, Swatches and Makeup Look

Sigma Creme De Couture Eye Shadow Palette* (£27.95) via www.beautychamber.co.uk

Let's be honest - most of us always stick to neutral colours and our everyday eye makeup consists of various brown/muted gold shades or a simple flick of black liner. Sigma Creme De Couture  Palette is the total opposite of what I usually go for, but I love to experiment with unusual colours and makeup looks, so I was happy to give it a go. 

Guest post: Why Autumn is the Perfect Time For a Spa Break

Now that the leaves are starting to fall and the shops are full of stylish coats and cosy jumpers, it is the ideal time to prepare for the cold winter months with some self-indulgent pampering. And what better way to do this than to head off for a spa weekend? 

Rapid Lash Eyelash Enhancing Serum Review

Rapid Lash Eyelash Enhancing Serum* (£32.99) via www.mistrys.co.uk

I always wanted to try an eyelash enhancing serum, but I didn't really know what to expect from this kind of product. Some of the reviews and before and after photos I googled, were amazing, but... I knew that it might not work for me. My verdict?

September Favourites

There are many products I have been loving this month, but I managed to narrow it down to a nice little selection :) As per usual, it is a mixture of makeup, nail, body and skincare products, featuring some new additions and things I rediscovered after a long break. Let's get started.

Clarins Extra Comfort Foundation & Instant Concealer - review and swatches

Just when I thought that I can't love Clarins more than I already do, they brought out the most amazing foundation and concealer. I am absolutely blown away by both products and I have been reaching for them a lot in September. I love everything about them - the formula, the finish and the way they feel on my skin.

'Feeling Blue'

This post was supposed to be about a big selection of electric blue accessories, but the items I ordered from ebay haven't arrived :( The replacements are on their way, but I will have to wait another 3-4 weeks for them. I decided to prepare a blue themed post anyway and... I couldn't resist a matching electric blue manicure.
