I am a big fan of the Benefit Porefessional Primer and it is the only primer I always repurchase, so imagine my excitement when the new Porefessional Agent Zero Shine Powder landed on my doorstep... I might have squealed a bit... Yeah, I did :) It arrived in great company too -  with a twin in a form of a delicious biscuit from Biscuiteers. They make best biscuits by the way!

My new signature scent: Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille

Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille

I adore vanilla based scents and since getting my hands on a selection of Laura Mercier Souffle Body Cremes, I have been reaching for the most delicious smelling fragrances to go with the sweet theme. Oh my... Let's just say that I might be slightly obsessed with smelling like a delicious dessert...

As the winter months approach, many of us find ourselves battling the blues, and for some, it's more than just a case of the feeling a bit down. Seasonal Affective Disorder, aptly abbreviated as SAD, is a type of depression that occurs at a specific time of the year, typically during the darker months. Understanding what triggers SAD and implementing lifestyle changes can make a significant difference in managing and even preventing its effects.

How to Be The Healthiest Version of You in 2024

As the year draws to a close, you might be starting to think about your resolutions for the New Year. Some aim to save a certain amount of money, and some may decide to launch their business. But for a lot of people, getting in shape or losing extra weight is at the forefront of their mind. 

Sunday Manicure: Deborah Lippmann Run, Run Rudolph

I picked up a couple of full size Deborah Lippmann Nail Polishes from TKmaxx recently and they were an absolute bargain. I got a set of three for £5 (without boxes)  and another set of three for £8 (boxed) I got two bottles of the orange and nude, so I might use them as stocking fillers or giveaway prizes :) Anyway... My favourite colour from the bunch is Run, Run Rudolf! It is a perfect festive red, with a little bit of sparkle and the name couldn't be more appropriate for a Christmas manicure :) I am sure it was part of last years Holiday Collection.

Christmas Yankee Candles

I burn candles nearly every day, especially during the colder months. I usually go for therapeutic scents from Neom or Aromatherapy Associates, but... I have some Yankee Candles and cheaper options in my stash too and burn them when my husband is home. He loves vanilla and cinnamon, so the two new additions to my collection have his approval :)

Debenhams Christmas Flowers

When it comes to flowers, I am usually obsessed with them in Spring/Summer and possibly Autumn, but for some reason I take a break from buying bouquets in Winter. I have no idea why, because as soon as this beautiful arrangement arrived at my doorstep, I felt the need to fill the full house with fresh flowers. 

Luxury Christmas Gift Guide

Christmas is the perfect excuse to treat yourself and your loved ones to items normally considered quite pricey. I always feel super generous during the festive period and ...I also know that I can ask my husband for some more expensive treats :) My last gift guide features some fab ideas ranging from £30 to £150 and I hope you find it helpful.
