How much do you read these days? How much did you use to read? If you read a lot more in the past and you’re not reading all that much now, it could be because you’re busy and just don’t have the time for your books anymore, no matter how much you love them. 


Bourjois Color Edition 24h Eyeshadows and new Color Boost Lip Crayon shade


Oh Bourjois, I can't even begin to describe how much I love you! I couldn't wait for the release of Color Edition 24h Eyeshadows and I am also very excited to see more shades added to the Color Boost Lip Crayon range . I am in love with the Autumnal shades of the eyeshadows and the lip colour I was kindly sent couldn't be more A/W appropriate.

Elf Highlighters and Blushers: reviews + swatches


I recently placed a little e.l.f. order and it consisted of some highlighting products and blushers. Let's just say that I have a highlighter obsession and my collection got slightly out of control :) haha. I just love a bit of shimmer. I bought two of the Allover Colour Sticks, two Shimmering Facial Whips and two Baked Blushers. If you follow me on instagram, you will know that some products were disappointing and some were absolutely gorgeous.  I also accidentally found dupes for MAC Mineralize Skin Finishes in Soft & Gentle and Stereo Rose!

What Mistakes Do You Need To Avoid When You’re Making Your Home Worth More?

Although you might not think about it because you’re happy to just live in your home and enjoy it, the fact is that property is always an investment, and you’ll want it to be worth more when you’re done with it than it was when you bought it, and that’s true whether you want to pass it on to other family members, sell it, or just use the equity you’ve built up in it to make improvements, for example.

We all love to throw a party or have a great dinner party every once in a while. Some people choose to have small intimate affairs. Where the detail is in the food and the good company you keep. Others choose to host more people and turn the celebration into an event or party, where every need is catered for. Or you may be somewhere in the middle. However, no matter how big or small your event, birthday party, or dinner party is, we all tend to have to go through the same steps to get from the planning to the implementation stage. I wanted to share with you some of the things you could consider if you are about to embark on the planning of an event very soon. I hope this helps you put it all in top perspective and enables you to create the perfect event. 


New Bedroom Decor: Yellow, Grey and White


I mentioned in some of my previous posts, that I redecorated our master bedroom, but still had some work to do. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to change the colour of the walls or the flooring yet, but... if we decide to stay here for longer than 6 months, I will paint the wall light grey and get gorgeous white wood flooring. Anyway... Here is the bedroom after a little makeover. I will make sure to list everything I bought :)

Aromatherapy Associates Revive Candle Review


Candles are something I absolutely adore. I always have. I remember being told off for burning candles as a teenager, because my room was full of them. I secretly dreamed about marrying someone who shares my love for candles, but unfortunately... my husband isn't a fan, unless it is a simple vanilla, or cinnamon scent. Well... I will just enjoy my candles alone :) When I found out that Aromatherapy Associates are bringing back their candles, I  was very excited, especially about the Revive one. Their Revive range is my favourite. 

Bloom & Wild Flowers - Delivered Through Your Letterbox


I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw this 60cm long box pop through my letterbox. Literally! I am not even kidding! I was kindly sent the flowers by Bloom & Wild, a brand new subscription service, offering fresh flower deliveries through your letterbox. Sounds crazy and amazing, doesn't it? 

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?
