As a Christmas present from my parents I got a curling wand. I asked for a wide wand because I really wanted to achieve big, soft curls. The wand that I got was the BaByliss Boutique one which is a large wand with 4 temperatures, perfect for longer hair. The picture above shows how I prefer to use this curling wand: just curling the ends of my hair for a gentle style. The...

This summer I planned to read as many books as possible but I struggled because I could never find the time or sometimes the motivation. I took 'Will Grayson, Will Grayson' on holiday and wasn't sure if I'd finish it. It turns out that 6 days into my 2 weeks holiday I had finished it. So I had to buy a book whilst on holiday, this didn't promise much choice...

I'm moving rooms. My priority recently was making the perfect scatter cushion for my new bed. Here is a cushion cover that I made and how I made it. I do apologise because it is not easy and you will need experience and/or skill on a sewing machine and also I did find this difficult to explain. Anyhow, here is how you make a Constellation Cushion Cover. You will need: Sewing...

Let me introduce you to my cat... This is Pepsi. He is an adult tuxedo cat and I love him. Pepsi has a bit of a story. He was born in Wales and lived on a farm with his other brothers and sisters. A family from around my area liked the look of him ( I don't blame them) so took him and his sister, Stella, home. The cats grew up together and eventually moved multiple times...

I've collected up a few random things that I've enjoyed this month which are completely unrelated to everything. I decided it would be interesting to share a few random things this month instead of limiting myself to just beauty or fashion. An app: Jim Chapman posted on YouTube and explained his favourite apps. This included an app called Mega Jump. And O M G! The memories...

[Top Left: Matt on the UFO playing Star Girl]  [Centre Left: The entrance on the Back To The Future car]  [Bottom Left: Tom singing Shine A Light with 'McBusted' written in fire behind]  [Right: The rising of the UFO] I didn't initially aim on doing a blog post about a concert but there was quite a lot I wanted to share so I thought 'why not?'. I'm going...

I've been so excited to do this post for a while because there have been some distinct favourites of mine throughout this month. Firstly, The Fault In Our Stars isn't really classed as a monthly favourite because I actually read it in January but just never got round to giving it a full appreciation. It's honestly a spectacular book and I really do think about it daily...

On Monday, my friends and I decided to make pizza rolls. I wasn't following off any particular recipe or instructions, it was simply an idea that I'd seen floating around online and decided to cook myself.  This was our first time cooking them, we didn't have a while to cook them (we ate them for lunch) so we used pre-made dough because making dough would've taken...

I got my Cambridge Satchel on my birthday last year and now that March has arrived it's getting closer to my next birthday (18th March) meaning I will have had my satchel for a year. When I first got my satchel I posted about it (that was in my early blogging stages, oh dear). Basically, it's an 11" satchel in the colour 'vintage' and is £99.00.  It's a hard...

I never deny that every time I visit London I instantly turn into a fascinated tourist. The shops, the sights and the typical London things just get better and better. This weekend was the start of London Fashion week so I got involved in that by visiting Somerset House. I also visited 221b Bakerstreet which is the home of Sherlock Holmes.  At 221B there was a huge gift...

I bought a few things in the 'after-Christmas' sales, they're all different, random items and I'm loving them: I fell in love with these Topshop Shoes when I first set eyes on them. I couldn't find them in black anywhere but my sister eventually managed to get hold of them for me. Although these aren't properly my size and I fit snug in them, it won't stop me wearing...

I have been loving a few things this month and the whole time I've been waiting to share with you the things that I have loved. I have a few beauty things and a few random things, just to mix it up a little. Beauty I got Soap & Glory Clean, Girls Body Wash mini in my advent calendar and I have been loving it. I explained it in the blog post when...

I recently did my first box swap with my blogging friend Katie. We arranged to do it just after Christmas so that we had something to look forward to. We swapped sooner than we planned (I was overly eager) but both boxes turned out to be great!  For those who don't know what a box swap is: it's where you fill a box full of items that the other person will like (beauty...
