Bobbi Brown Christmas Gifting

Bobbi Brown became one of my favourite brands in 2018 and I often wear a full face of BB makeup, because the products are simply incredible. I especially love the highlighters. I mean... just look at the duo above! Stunning! I have a few items to show you, just in case you fancy treating yourself or a loved one to some luxe makeup this Christmas.

Design.Me Haircare

I've had this trio from  Design.Me Hair for a while now and I have been using it a lot, so I thought I would pop a quick blog post up to tell you all about these, just in case you're not familiar with the brand.

Moxy Glasgow

Last week I attended a blogger sleepover at the brand new Moxy Glasgow and I asked Ellis to be my +1 for the evening/night. We had so much fun! The hotel with it's playful vibe was a perfect setting for all the activities the team had planned for us and we enjoyed every minute. 

Unity Diner - Non Profit Vegan Diner in London

When I was planning our trip to London, Unity Diner in Hoxton was on the top of my list of places to eat and we went right after arriving at Euston station. It's a non profit restaurant founded by the incredible Earthling Ed who inspires me daily to be a better human. All of the profits from Unity Diner go directly towards funding the animal rights organisation Surge as well as the development of a brand new rescue sanctuary for animals just outside of London. The cause itself is a reason to visit, but the food... Oh my god... It was absolutely incredible! 

Bare Minerals Original Foundation Review

I adore bareMinerals products and I am a huge fan of their bases, like the Complexion Rescue, BarePro, Blemish Rescue and BareSkin. I have tried every single base from their range, except the matte version for oily skin. Today I want to talk about the Original though, as I have been using it  a lot lately for a few reasons.

The East London Hotel Review

Last weekend we visited London for the first time and we had the pleasure of staying at the newly opened The East London Hotel. The hotel is located in Bethnal Green and only 13 minutes from Central London by Tube.  The overall feel of the hotel is very stylish and the rooms are comfortable and designed with modern comforts in mind.

Brand Focus: Pixi Beauty

I was introduced to Pixi Beauty a few months ago at a Pixi Beaty dinner in Glasgow (incredible evening!) and some of their products quickly became staples in my skincare routine and my makeup bag. The formulas are lovely and the brand is cruelty free and most of their products are vegan, which is amazing.

Strathaven Hot Air Balloon Festival 2018

We recently took the kids to a yearly Hot Air Balloon Festival at Strathaven's John Hastie Park, as we stay a short drive away and I have always wanted to attend it, but never got round to it.  I didn't anticipate how busy it was going to be, but I am really glad we went. The balloons looked incredible and there were loads of attractions.

Cirque Du Soleil Ovo at Glasgow SSE Hydro

 A few weeks ago, I was kindly invited to see Cirque Du Soleil's OVO at SSE Hydro in Glasgow and I thought I would share some of the photos and my thoughts and feelings about this incredible show, as you can still see them in the UK till the end of October!

Coffee time

I cannot live without my Nespresso coffee machine and I always look for new compatible pods to use with it. There's plenty to choose from on the market and my recent batch is from Real Coffee who offer a big variety of blends and flavours for Nespresso and Dolce Gusto machines.

Eyes with Smashbox

I haven't tried much from Smashbox, so I was really looking forward to giving these a go. A perfect trio for a simple makeup look with a pop of colour. I adore the mascara and liner so much, they have been my go to in 2018.

Michael Kors Sheer EDP

I noticed the Michael Kors Sheer EDP* in the Debenhams sale when I was browsing their website this weekend, so I thought I would let you know my thoughts on it before it sells out, just in case you want to grab a bargain. I have been using it a lot lately and I absolutely love it.
