Every single summer I’d look forward to brand new stationery for going back to school. It’s actually probably one of the only aspects I miss about the place. My mam would go mad with the amount I’d spend on expensive fine liners, highlighters, pencil cases (I had a new one every month), erasers and more. When you’re 13, your stationery says a lot about you – especially the pencil case. It was the only form…

Living the life of luxury is usually all but a dream, but for a night I got to experience VIP treatment at the Hilton Hotel Newcastle Gateshead. Filled with champagne, amazing food and a spa, it was the evening fit for a princess. It was a pleasure to be able to review a hotel in the North East. We checked in at 3pm and I was quickly whisked away to my room. Situated on the…

Hi everyone! I thought I’d do a post today that was rather informative and insightful. I want my blog to be a place where you can learn, make informed decisions and possibly gain knowledge you didn’t have before about beauty and fashion (and more!) IPL hair removal is something I’ve pondered for a long time and luckily enough, the opportunity has presented itself to me to try it and tell you all what I think…

From the moment my eyes set upon the pretty packaging of the Tartelette In Bloom palette, I knew I had to have it. I didn’t even care if the inside could be colours I’d never use or that it, you know, might not actually be any good. I just HAD to have it in my life, it’s the prettiest thing ever! Purples, pinks, golds. Right up my street. Even the name is gorgeous. After eyeing…

It isn’t hard to find a women that inspires, and it usually starts from home. I’m so lucky to have grown up with inspiring women all around me and it has shape who I am today. I continue to be surrounded by women who are doing outstanding things with their lives and spurring me on to do the same. The new friendships I make are different now, it’s not based on interests – it’s based…

Sometimes it’s hard to accept that your world is changing so quickly around you and that there’s nothing you can do about it. I’m currently going through that period of my life where I’m not a teenager anymore and I have to start figuring my life out. I’m faced with real problems and having to find real solutions, ones school most definitely did not prepare me for. Recently I experienced a loss of someone so…

Lashes can make or break a makeup look, they can either look beautiful or awful. There’s rarely any inbetween for me. If I could wake up with beautiful long, thick lashes everyday, I would. Oh wait… I can. I put off getting lash extensions for years, I thought I wouldn’t be able to maintain them and that they’d be an ultimate faff on. I was SO wrong. I don’t even notice that they are there…

Blogging has taken me many places but one place I didn’t expect to visit so early in my blogging career was Lumley Castle! I first visited Lumley Castle, which is in Durham in July.

I was on the panel with two other girls and we were talking about the future of business, it was such a fun day…
