This type of post is very much out of my comfort zone as I tend not to tell anyone apart from my parents and my boyfriend much about my illness and how it REALLY effects me. I guess I’ve felt ashamed and embarrassed by it, it makes me feel like a bit of a failure and I’ll do almost anything to try to show people that I’m still me and still "normal", whatever that is.
Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream Collection
These aren't new products from NYX but they are just as popular now as when they were released a few years ago. With 46 shades in the Soft Matte Lip Cream range there is bound to be one to suit everyone. I only have 4 but i'm hoping to add to my collection soon! Not only is there a shade to suit all but they are only £6 each so totally budget friendly.
Flamingo Candles | New In Spring/Summer
It's that time of the year again where all the spring/summer releases are slowly coming out and we can think about pastels and bright colours again! As usual, Flamingo Candles new range doesn't disappoint and there is definitely a scent for everyone.
My Top Sleep Tips | Featuring Feather & Down
This month is National Bed Month so I've collaborated with well loved sleep and relaxation brand Feather and Down to bring you some tips to help you sleep, or at the very least maybe give you some ideas on how to improve your sleep hygiene. Apparently nearly 90% of people still say they feel tired when they wake up in the morning. This doesn't actually surprise me considering we live in a world where it's becoming increasingly difficult to switch off!
Honeycomb Cupcakes Recipe | Mighty Fine
I'm back with a new cupcake recipe for you this week! Just before Christmas I was lucky enough to win a few boxes of Mighty Fine's honeycomb and mighty fine it was. Honeycomb is my absolute favourite type of chocolate treat and this one is pretty luxurious if I do say so. I did share the love though and gave a couple boxes away to a few special well deserving people too. But I knew I wanted to make something yummy with it so here's my chocolate honeycomb cupcakes!
Get The GLOW | Glamglow
You've probably seen a lot about Glamglow recently as the face masks have become quite the cult beauty product. However, I'm not going to talk about the masks but the Glowsetter Make Up Setting Spray instead and my thoughts on whether its worth the money or just another brand fad.
*Spoiler alert* I'm a fan!
Gluten Free Valentines Heart Biscuits | Recipe
Every year I like to make a little something for Valentines and this year, instead of my go to cupcakes, I decided to make biscuits. For Easter last year I made Nutella Bunny Biscuits so these are a take on those, however I have used a different recipe and you might of noticed from the title, they are also gluten free. If you fancy making them with regular flour then use the recipe in my bunny biscuit post!
Bomb Cosmetics | Valentines Special
Last year I was chosen to be part of Bomb Cosmetics #bombbabesquad so I am back with my third post and this one is very Valentines themed. Bomb Cosmetics have just released a MASSIVE new range of bath blasters, mallows, candles and even cards for you to send to friends, family and loved ones!
Bubble T Moroccan Mint | Review
Who doesn't love baths? If you've put your hand up then we genuinely cant be friends. You may have heard of Bubble T before, they are a company who make delicious smelling bath products that contain none of the nasties such as parabens and sodium laureth sulfate (which can irritate the skin) . There products are also cruelty free and not to mention VERY affordable.
Popband VS Invisibobble
Do you remember when you used to put up your hair and you would either have to cut the band out or it would cause a massive knot when you pulled it out? Or if you popped one on your wrist and by the end of the day you would worry you have potentially cut your circulation off! Well not anymore, no dent hairbands are the way forward and I'm putting these two rival bands to the test.
Teapigs | Winter Special
Teapigs, a cult tea if there ever was such a thing. Most people have heard of Teapigs even if they haven't tried them but I would say they are on the luxury end of the tea spectrum and a really indulgent treat for the taste buds. Fruity teas are nice but I live for those winter flavours to make the 3pm slump a little more bearable or a warm treat before bed.
Flamingo Candles | It’s Christmas Time
If you tell me that Christmas candles don't excite you then I think your lying! I mean candles are great all year round but they are practically a necessity at this time of year. Not only do they give you the perfect Christmas movie and snack ambiance but the smell of your favourate winter scent can be all you need to put you in the festive spirit.
Raw Halo | Keeping It Raw
I don't know if you've noticed recently but raw chocolate has become quite a thing. Made from natural ingredients (and most of them refined sugar free), Raw Halo have in my opinion made one of the best bars on the market. Not to mention, the most stunning packaging I've ever seen a chocolate bar come in.
So, is Charcoal The New Black?
If you had asked me a few years ago if I would be putting charcoal on my face I would of probably looked a little horrified. Oh how times have changed, charcoal is now a best selling ingredient in many beauty related products on the market and you would be surprised at the benefit it can have on your skin if you add it into your daily regime.
Christmas With Bomb Cosmetics
Ahh it's that time of the year where the Christmas bits are coming out in the shops and i'm already here writing my first christmassy blog post. I'm excited that i'm kicking it off with whats new in from Bomb Cosmetics this season, and I can assure you there's some amazing bits!
Uncommon Goods | Christmas Gift Guide
Is there anything harder than picking out presents for so many different people at Christmas? There's always that one person (in my case, my boyfriend!) who is super hard to buy for and you end up panic buying last minute because you spent way to long browsing, only to still not find that *perfect* gift. UncommonGoods may be able to give you a little inspiration and help you find some fun Christmas gift ideas for all your loved ones.
Hidden Suprise Unicorn Cupcakes
Most people like unicorns right? They seem to have become a huge thing this last year and i'm not ashamed to admit I've been well and truly drawn in. I bought these cute little unicorn sugar plaques on a whim from Lakeland and i knew i had to make something fun with them!
Guess Who's Part Of The Bomb Babe Squad | Bomb Cosmetics
I've loved and used Bomb Cosmetics for as long as I can remember, they were the first brand that I bought a bath bomb from all those years ago as a teenager. Everything is 100% handmade and they use natural ingredients wherever possible. Not to mention it's all so damn cute!
Flamingo Candles | New In
I'm excited to be back with a what's new from Flamingo Candle HQ post! I swear they are absolutely killing it as a brand and growing bigger by the month. I am a major candle addict and I cannot tell you how excited I get when they release new scents and gorgeous, inventive jars to match. They have to be the most creative candle brand out there too with all their different designs.
Mist Me Up | Patisserie De Bain
Patisserie De Bain are one of those brands that the scents make you wonder if the product could actually be edible! I mean there not, so I don't recommend you eat it but it always smells SO good. The latest launch from the brand is the body mists which I personally think are multi purpose and will appeal to everyone.
