My day-to-day makeup staples never really change. Once I find something I love, it takes a pretty outstanding product to turn my head. My current favourites include a small selection of products which right now, I'd say were some of my all time favourites; and they're so easy to use that a full face of make up can can take as little as 10 minutes.

Spotlight on: The Ordinary
I've been promising this review for over a year, but every time I sit down to write it, I don't feel ready. Mainly because I keep buying new products from The Ordinary that I feel I should give a fair trial before I review them...
Spotlight on: Charlotte Tilbury
Here on my blog, I want to talk to you about all of the things I love. But as a consumer, I also want to hear about the things people don't love so much, so in a new series called 'Spotlight on', I'll be talking about the products I love as well as those I didn't get on so well with. Each post will focus on a particular brand or category and for the first post in the series, I'm going to talk about Charlotte Tilbury.
Recipe: Piedmontese Peppers
I first discovered this recipe one lazy Saturday morning, watching Simon Hopkinson's latest programme on the BBC. The recipe was simple and the end result looked so delicious that I quickly rewound the segment, grabbed a notebook and scribbled down the method. I think I made those peppers the same night and served them with… Continue reading Recipe: Piedmontese Peppers
New In: The Ordinary by Deciem
If you haven't heard about The Ordinary by now, you must have been living under a rock. And if you have been living under a rock, then I'll clue you in!

The miracle cream you need to buy today
Every once in a while, a miracle product comes along that makes you wonder why you hadn't heard of it before. This happened to me recently with Cicaplast Baume by La Roche-Posay.
A guide to meal planning
I've been meal planning for a while now, and whilst it's something I have to schedule time for, it's something I've really started to enjoy. Not only do I get to spend time flicking through my many (MANY) recipe books, it also means I don't have to worry about what I'm going to cook for dinner when I get in from work late.
Recipe: Chocolate Granola
If you're anything like me and you struggle to even think about food in the morning, then you'll know how difficult it is to force down an unappealing slice of toast before rushing out of the door. Chocolate seems to be the only thing I never struggle to eat (funny, that) but a bar of Dairy Milk isn't exactly the breakfast of champions...
Review: Sand & Sky Brilliant Skin Purifying Pink Clay Mask
Let me be honest about something. I'm a sucker for good marketing. I'll be happily scrolling through my Instagram feed as I wind down before bed, then BOOM. There it is. An ad pulling me in with it's pretty picture and snappy caption. I can't resist having a little nose and before I know it, I'm researching why I shouldn't buy this life changing product I've never heard of before.
