Reading is something I enjoy a lot and have been trying to make as much time as possible for recently. I find it very relaxing and I much prefer a proper, physical book over audiobook or digital copy any day. I love to get cosy and light a candle and get stuck in to the pages. At the moment I'm burning the Shearer Candles Naturals cedarwood and log fire soy wax candle, its the perfect scent for getting in the mood for Autumn coming in. I've always got a pile at the side of my bed to work my way through and have recently finished a couple of great reads which I'm sharing with you today.&nb ..read more

In this year's gift guide I'm sharing some things that I've really been enjoying and think would make great gifts for other people. I'd love to wake up on Christmas morning to any of these in wrapped up under the tree and hope you would too.  Firstly, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without my house smelling nice and cosy and Shearer Candles have released some absolutely gorgeous festive scents this year. Shearer is a Glasgow based, family owned, candle company where I've recently had the pleasure of visiting their new store in St.Enoch Centre. Some of my top picks this year are th ..read more

AD: This post is in conjunction with Boots UK but all thoughts are my own. I don't know about you but when it comes to make up, anything without false lashes just seems unfinished so finding yourself the perfect pair is a must! Thinking back to my Makeup Artist days I remember having a kit stocked full of Ardell lashes as they were always both affordable, and great quality lashes for clients. Over the years I've used so many different types of lashes equally for my own personal use as well as clients and for a whole range of situations such as daily wear, long-wear, bridal or glam events.

Hands up who loves an Urban Decay Naked palette? I know I do and I've really loved the Urban Decay Naked Wild West palette recently. I've been using this a lot and really looking forward to getting my hands on the newest product the Urban Decay Naked Cyber and trying it out alongside this one. The Naked Wild West palette includes 12 desert inspired shades ranging from peach and brows to deep blue-green and turquoises. Its a mix of matte, shimmer and glitter formulas and is Urban Decay's first all-vegan formula eyeshadow (as well as including a vegan double-ended brush).  For me, Wil ..read more

A few weeks ago I started using some new products by the brand Florena.  Florena is a natural, fermented skincare brand who are cruelty free and have a big focus on sustainability. You may have heard about the benefits of fermented products in food, but did you know that the fermentation process is a natural way of breaking down a substance into a simpler form which in turn makes it more powerful? This is why fermentation works so well in skincare products as the most important ingredients become more concentrated.  This fermentation process is at the heart of Florena Fermented ..read more

I've spoken about my love for Blistex products a lot over the years. I rarely use other lip care brands as I'm yet to find another that is consistently as good.  My absolute favourite lip product was the Blistex Relief Cream and I must note that for now, it's sadly unavailable. Blistex have posted about this on their social channels to advise that due to manufacturing issues it us currently unavailable with no clear return date.  While that isn't the best news, this month, Blistex have brought out three fantastic new products. Blistex Lip Infusions provide outstanding moist ..read more
