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.

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.

Sticky Orange Almond Cake | Recipe

When I made this sticky orange almond cake a few months back I knew I needed to share the recipe. You wouldn't believe me if I told you it's naturally dairy, gluten and even refined sugar free! It tastes amazing and it's not that hard to make, nor do you need that many ingredients. If your looking for a somewhat healthier treat then look no further, I've got you covered.

Sleep Well With Feather & Down

I don't sleep well and its the bane of my life. Insomnia is a nightmare and can be caused by so many different things from illness to hormones. There might not be a "cure" for insomnia but there's many things you can do to help, my favourite one being, lavender!

Here Comes The Sun | Skinny Tan

Or not as the case might be with our summer this year! That's ok though because we can fake it until the Indian summer begins in September. I've tried a lot of fake tans over the past 10 years, that range from £3.99 St Moriz to £20 Xen Tan. I was super excited when Skinny Tan wanted me to review their range of sunless tanners and accessorises, especially as I had a couple of days away at a spa coming up which meant it was the perfect opportunity to really test these bad boys out.

Zoella's Done It Again | Jelly & Gelato

Zoella has done it again! She's added a new range to her ever growing collection and this smells just as good, if not better than the last. I love the name, Jelly and Gelato. Let's take a minute to talk about the packaging though, I am loving the colour combination and that little straw. I didn't purchase the rest of the range (although I might buy the body pudding!) but everything else is just as beautiful.

Coming Off The Pill | 1 Year Update

I meant to write this post at 6 months but read online that its a take a whole year for your body to realise the changes from taking the contraceptive pill so here we are! Better late than never, right?

 A year ago I went to the doctors for blood tests due to my ongoing relentless fatigue, completely unrelated to the pill. I saw a locum doctor and she took my blood pressure, it was higher than normal but that's not unusual since I suffer with white coat syndrome (who doesn't!), it was however enough for her to ask me to check my blood pressure at home everyday for the next week. We talked about my migraine situation and the fact I suffer with aura, it was then she proceeded to scare the crap out me. I was apparently at high risk of a stroke if I continued taking the combined pill and she wanted me to swop to a mini pill, Cerelle. This is where things went to shit.

Benefit | Cheek Parade

I'm really excited to review this new palette. In fact I was really bloody excited to receive it! When I saw Benefit were releasing this blush kit I so desperately wanted it and then when I was given it as a present, I felt very lucky. The five powders are suited to most skin tones, if your pale like me then the new Hoola Lite powder will be your new favourite, must have make up item.

Patisserie De Bain | Just In

I cant resist gorgeous smelling hand cream, can you? I'm also a sucker for cute packaging, I know your not meant to judge something by what it looks like, but we all do it and these new hand creams from Patisserie De Bain definitely caught my eye. You may remember I wrote a post on four other hand creams from their collection in 2015 (if you don't, you can catch it here), recently they released three new spring/summer scent's and I put them to the test.

Flamingo Candles | Spring/Summer Collection

It's that time of year again where Flamingo Candles release their spring/summer collection. If you love candles as much as me (yes Steph, we know you love candles I hear you say), boy you're in for a treat. I was lucky enough to be sent a selection of their new range, I must admit I was pretty shocked at the fact they sent me four, even one is generous enough! I just know your going to love these as much as I do.

Nutella Bunny Biscuits | Recipe

 

 I was recently having a browse though the internet looking for Easter baking inspiration and came across a photo of these little bunny biscuits. There was no recipe so I thought I would replicate them in my own way and add a little twist of my own. Tracking down a mini rabbit cutter was a mission in itself! These are so simple and I think they will go down a treat over the long Easter weekend.
