Getting Organised – A Peek in my Dressing Room

I shall start this post with a disclaimer. My Dressing Room is not necessarily an airy, glamorous, Pinterest worthy space. I live in one of those “three bedroom” Victorian terraces that you get a lot of in some UK Cities. The third bedroom is off the second bedroom and suitable only for conversion to a

Recipe: High Protein Black Forest Smoothie

Smoothies are one of my favourite breakfast choices, along with overnight oats. I tend to fall back on banana, almond milk, flavoured protein powder, and maybe some chia seeds or other addition, and sometimes it gets a bit samey.

Review – SEVENTEEN Long Lash Mascara

I’m a bit weird about Make-Up. I love trying new things, but unless it’s at least twice as good as what I’m already using I’m painfully loyal to certain products. This means I have bags and drawers full of half used products that have betrayed me by promising the earth and then I’ve gone straight

Friday Frock Love – Super Hero Stripes

I have a serious fondness for super bold stripes. There’s something about how simple, yet dramatic they are that makes me feel like a comic book super hero. Especially when teamed with bright colours and bold lipstick. I’m not talking breton stripes, though they have their place they’re more classic and chic. I mean stripes

5 Essential Accessories Every Woman Should Have

I didn’t used to be great at accessories. I carried a bag and I wore shoes. Occasionally I’d wear a bit of jewellery, but that was about as far as I’d get. Over the years I started to realise just how vital they were to putting an outfit together. Eventually you stop thinking about them

Dear Diary: February 2016

Februarys been a weird old month. I’ve been focusing really hard on work, and had a couple of (lovely) weekends away, so I’ve just been treading water with everything else, keeping myself ticking over till I can set my fitness goals March 2016. Mostly I feel pretty positive. I’m feeling strong, and ready to start
