For the past four weeks, I’ve been trialling Aussie’s Miracle Shine hair care range. Marketed as a dose of sunshine in a bottle, it promised to leave locks gorgeously glossy and radiant with its pearl powder and Australian Ginseng extract formula. My hair was beginning to look a little dull as a result of hair dye, backcombing and heat, so I was needing something to boost the shine. After using Aussie’s…
Toffee Apple & Cinnamon Cookies
One of my New Year Hopes and Wishes was to bake more, so I started with something simple – toffee apple and cinnamon cookies. I was inspired to make some after I tried the flavour from Dominos last year, and I’ve been wanting to recreate them ever since. You Will Need: Betty Crocker Cookie Mix Dried Apple Toffee Cinnamon I had originally wanted to use Betty Crocker Maple Syrup Cookie…
The Art of Relaxation
Every so often, it’s nice to take a little break from the stresses and strains of life and indulge in a little relaxation. My favourite way to unwind is to spoil myself with a spa treatment. I remember the first time I experienced the delights of a back, neck and shoulder massage when Matt treated me to a spa break for my birthday a few years ago. All tension and worry…
Miu Miu Vitello Lux Bow Bag
I’d been coveting the beautiful Miu Miu Vitello Bow Bag for years, so one day, I decided to save for it. I reached my goal more quickly than I thought, but rather than buying the bag of my dreams, something was holding me back. I went to visit the Miu Miu store in London to see and touch the bags in real life, but I wasn’t overly keen on any…
Happy Valentine’s Day
Wishing you all a wonderful Valentine’s Day, whether you’re spending it with your partner, or your friends. I thought I would mark the day by including a reading we had at our wedding… “I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making…
Philips VisaPure Facial Cleansing Brush
The VisaPure Facial Cleansing Brush is the latest beauty gadget to be released by Philips. The rotating brush claims to cleanse 10 times more effectively than manual cleansing, whilst remaining just as gentle and helping improve skin tone and texture. Using this daily should lead to an improvement in the absorption of skin care products and dead skin cells are removed by exfoliation. I love the design of Philips VisaPure. The nude colour looks feminine yet unobtrusive,…

Valentine’s Rose Bouquet
Flowers are always a welcome gift in my eyes – they brighten up any room and bring a sense of cheer into the air. They also remain the most traditional Valentine’s Day present, so I’m delighted to feature these beautiful Interflora flowers I was sent. The hand-tied bouquet showcases red and pink roses, interspersed with white waxflower and salal. What really struck me as I prepared the flowers was the sweet fragrance…

The most recent addition to my collection is the ‘Q & A a Day – 5 Year Journal.’ This hand-sized Potter Style journal is the perfect compact size for keeping on your bedside table, in your handbag, or taking away with you. Featuring 365 questions to fill in over the time frame of 5 years, the questions range from silly to thought provoking and philosophical…
What’s in my Bag
I thought it was about time I offered a peek into my handbag, as it’s something I’ve somehow never got round to blogging about. I switch my bags around regularly but I’m currently using my beloved Mulberry Bayswater. It can fit a good amount of things inside, so I can happily carry around what I deem to be my essentials without overloading it. Here’s what’s in my bag… ♥ Disaster Designs Makeup…
