To begin, a heartfelt thank you for all the beautiful responses to both the Six Years and Life Lately posts I wrote. The kindness and well wishes mean so much to Matt and I, we truly appreciate each and every lovely word written. Today, I thought I would share a journal I’ve been enjoying using over the last six months – Bump to Birthday, a Pregnancy and First Year Journal. It has been a new and enjoyable…
Wella Color Recharge Conditioner
I’ve been colouring my hair for over ten years now, and although the shades I’ve experimented with have varied from plum to deep brunette and dark blonde, the one problem I always encounter is the colour fading. My hair quickly loses its vibrancy and shine after I’ve coloured it, so I was keen to trial the Wella Color Recharge Conditioner for brunettes, which has been specifically designed to help protect against…
Rolo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
I stumbled across these delicious looking cookies on Pinterest and knew I had to try them myself. It is so quick and simple to whip up a batch of these, which means it’s all to easy to find yourself having eaten the whole lot in one sitting! You Will Need: Betty Crocker Chocloate Chip Cookie Mix (If you prefer to make your own cookie dough a good recipe can be found…
Sunshine & Picnics
After a long wait, sunshine finally arrived in the UK (although it’s now disappeared just as swiftly!) and Matt and I have been enjoying every opportunity to bask in the rays. I’ve lost count of the amount of picnics we’ve enjoyed together over the last month or so. There’s something so quintessentially English about unfolding a chequered blanket and opening a wicker basket to indulge in the delights of pink lemonade,…
Loves Lately – Tassimo T40 Coffee Machine
A coffee machine is always something Matt and I have lusted after but never got round to actually buying. So I was delighted when I was offered the chance to review the Tassimo T40 Coffee Machine. With a fresh, contemporary design, the T40 looks stylish whilst remaing compact and easy to use. As a newbie to coffee machines, I was wondering how simple I would find the set up and everyday use…
Glossybox – The Pearl Lowe Edition
It’s been a long time since I’ve received a Glossybox impressive enough to inspire me to blog about it, but April’s edition features a collaboration with Pearl Lowe and I love each and every item in this month’s box, and it’s no wonder as it’s inspired by all things vintage and floral. The box alone is beautiful to look at and I’ll be keeping it out on display in the bedroom. As…
Eucerin Even Brighter – Final Thoughts
For the past 8 weeks, I’ve been trialling the Eucerin Even Brighter skin care range, which has been specifically designed to treat hyper-pigmentation and enhance natural radiance by evening out skin tone. My skin was desperately in need of being perked up, it was looking dull after a long winter so these products couldn’t have arrived at a better time. The Eucerin Even Brighter Day and Night Creams are luxuriously thick and creamy, and…
Shabby to Chic – Upcycled Nest of Tables
As a fan of upcycling second hand furniture, I’m always on the lookout for potential shabby chic transformations. I spotted this nest of tables in a charity shop for just £5 and I knew they’d look lovely with a coat of a paint. This was one of the more quick and simple upcycling projects I’ve completed – all it took was two coats of eggshell paint and cutting some Laura Ashly fabric for…
Olivia Burton Big Dial Rose Gold Watch
Despite being a big fan of rose gold, I’d yet to acquire a watch in the soft pink tone, so when I spotted a beautiful Olivia Burton watch on my Instagram feed, I knew it was the perfect item to satisfy my longing for a new rose gold spring/summer accessory. After a bit of searching online, I ordered the Big Dial watch from The Dressing Room (the only store where I…
Eucerin Even Brighter
As I head further into my 20s, I find myself paying more attention to my skin care regime, ensuring my skin is well cared for and any problems are dealt with the appropriate product. Eye creams and serums are some of the newest additions to my routine, used in an attempt to keep my skin youthful and wrinkles at bay, but it wasn’t until recently that dark spots on the skin entered…
