Pixi Beauty Christmas Gift Ideas

I recently attended the Girls Day Out Show in Glasgow with Pixi Beauty and I must admit - they had the most beautiful setup! It looked magical! I added loads of photos to my Instagram and saved it in my story highlights, if you want to have a little peek. I came home with some of their gorgeous products and I think they would be perfect as Christmas presents or stocking fillers for beauty and makeup enthusiasts. 

Soap & Glory Boots Star Gift 2018

It's time for the beauty bargain of the year - the Soap & Glory Boots Star Gift*. This year it's a collaboration with multi-talented graphic designer, art director and illustrator Zuki and it looks gorgeous! The gift set retails at £30.00 with the items inside worth £80.00, making it an absolute steal! 

DIY gift idea: Giant Yarn Blanket.

I love a quick but satisfying and effective DIY project and a giant yarn blanket is one of the easiest and simplest things anyone can make. If you want to give it a go, either for yourself or maybe as a handmade Christmas gift, I would highly recommend it.

Glasgow Loves Christmas Day Out 2018.

Last Thursday I attended a festive day out with Glasgow Loves Christmas and we visited some fabulous places, including restaurants, shops and the Christmas market. I adore Glasgow in December, even when it's busy with people shopping for gifts. It always looks stunning and never fails to make me excited for Christmas.

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.
