Sponsor Spotlight: UUnique

Today I am heading out to pamper myself a little as I’ve been feeling a bit blue. I figure if there’s one advantage to being self employed it’s that you can say “hey, I’m feeling grumpy, I’m going to take Friday afternoon off and go shopping and get a hair cut”. So that is what

Dents: Vintage Meets Hi-Tech

I’ve wanted a pair of leather gloves for years. A few years ago my Mum bought me a beautiful pair for Christmas. They were green leather with a little flower detail at the wrist and I absolutely loved them. I wore them everywhere for about 3 months, and then I jumped out of the car

Hooked on Novelty Bedding

I can remember years ago bemoaning the lack of funky bedding for King Size beds. Back in the old days all bedding for “grown ups” came in white, or cream, or fetching florals, or occasionally colours like black for people who fancied themselves a bit sexy. Grown up bedding didn’t come with cool superhero prints

Let the Shoes do the Talking

Hurray! 10 days into January and on Saturday I left the house in proper clothes and everything! I went to the pub with Mr Chick and Mr & Mrs Betsy Hatter to get tipsy on too much beer and talk about rubbish for a few hours, which was huge fun. Actually, this dress is probably

Friday Frock Love: Hit The Sales!

Have you done any sale shopping this year? I really can’t stand the crazy camping out from 1am on Boxing Day mind set, but I am a huge fan of a sale bargain. Personally I find a lot of my best bargains later in January anyway, once the hordes have died down it’s a lot

How I Found Out I Needed a New Hairdryer

Just before Christmas I was contacted by Babyliss and asked to try a product from their Boutique range. Specifically they mentioned the Salon Soft Waves, which is a curling iron designed for creating glamorous waves on long hair and I sent them a very nice reply back saying I didn’t think it would really work
