New bedroom bits and decor refresh

I get bored of my home decor easily and I like changing things quite often. From a big selection of bedding to new throws and bits and bobs for the home, I spend too much time and money on it... Oooops... That's why I decided to finally say goodbye to the stripy wallpaper we had in the master bedroom (see it in THIS post) and change it to something more neutral.

All-Bran 5 Day Challenge + Giveaway

While your diet may be relatively healthy, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are getting enough fibre to maintain good digestive health. I am a healthy eater,who consumes lots of fresh fruit and veg, beans, nuts etc, but... being on a weight loss journey and reducing the size of my portions means that sometimes I can miss out on the fibre. That's why I agreed to take the All-Bran5 Day Challenge.

Joan Collins Timeless Beauty

 If you are a fan of luxury makeup, you will absolutely love the Joan Collins Timeless Beauty Makeup Line. The packaging is breathtakingly beautiful and the formulas are lovely too. I have been obsessed with the small selection of products I received to try out and I now have far to many Joan Collins gems on my wish list.

Sigma Gel Liners and Liner Brushes

I am a liquid liner gal, but I quite like gel formulas too. The Sigma Beauty Gel Eye Liners* are the newest addition to my stash and as a lover of the winged liner look, I couldn't wait to try them out. 

ELF makeup look: golden smokey eye & peachy lips

When it comes to makeup, I adore many high end products, but... I also love  cheaper options, including some real gems from E.L.F.  I especially like ordering from them , during their 50% off sales :) To create this makeup look, I used E.L.F. products only and I went for a golden smokey eye, peachy lips and glowy cheeks.

Vichy Idealia Eyes Review

I am a big fan of Vichy Idealia Life Serum* and BB Cream*, so the release of Vichy Idealia Eyes*(£23.00) got me seriously excited. I have been using the eye cream and serum for the past 4 weeks (morning and night) and my skin absolutely loves this combo!

Fashion Monday #1

Hi everyone. If you follow me on instagram, you might have seen my outfits already, but I think I am finally ready to start sharing some OOTD posts on the blog. I am not sure if the photos will be taken with my DSLR or just my phone/ipad, but I am not too fussed about it to be perfectly honest. I get my fashion inspiration via instagram every single day, so I am perfectly fine with mirror selfies. What do you think?  Anyway... After the amazing response from many lovely ladies on instagram, I decided to introduce a 'Fashion Monday' feature to the blog, to mix things up a bit. I am getting fed up with writing about beauty 95% of the time and I want to branch out to other areas of blogging. Change is good, right?

Win £500 of John Lewis Vouchers in British Gas History Of Home Competition

I am not ashamed to admit that I keep almost every nostalgic item, because I find it really hard to part with things that mean something to me, or remind me of certain people, moments etc. It is just the way I am :) That's why I couldn't be more excited about giving you an opportunity to enter this fantastic competition hosted in cooperation with British Gas. The prize is absolutely amazing and the lucky winner will receive £500 worth of John Lewis vouchers! How can you enter?

Non-Beauty Favourites/ What I've Been Up To

I feature my beauty favourites on the blog almost every month, but to be perfectly honest, I have even more 'non-beauty' favourites, especially food related ones :) haha. I also very rarely include  lifestyle updates, so today's blog post is a mixture of both, plus a virgin mojito recipe I promised to share :) 

August Birchbox UK (review and video)

As a big fan of beauty boxes, I was very excited to open  my travel themed August Birchbox* (£10.00 +P&P). I haven't seen any sneak peeks before it arrived and I didn't even expect one in the first place, so it was a total surprise :) As soon as I lifted the lid, I spotted two products I knew I will really enjoy, but the remaining two didn't disappoint either.

Marlenha Flourish Moisturiser Review

Marlenha Flourish Moisturiser* (£49.00)

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you might remember my review of the Marlenha Petal Delicate Eye Serum. I am still using it and I absolutely love it. I was kindly sent the Flourish Mosituriser to try 6-7 weeks ago and again, I am really impressed with the formula. 

Citizen M Hotel Glasgow (review +vlog)

Last month, I celebrated my 27th birthday and it was my first night (2 nights actually) without my son! He is 3 years old and I have watched him every single day and night for the full 3 years of his life and I am really proud of myself! Anyway... After many months (ok...years) of trying to 'cut the cord', I finally left Zachary with his grandparents overnight and spent 2 nights with my husband in Citizen M Hotel Glasgow.
