Despite the fact that everyone hates January because it’s long, I see the silver lining that it gives me more time to try out products. Sorry this isn’t bang on 31st January, my full-time job (which is not being a blogger) is pretty hectic at the moment. So here are the things that have been making January brighter, smoother, and cleaner. Nip& Fab Glycolic Fix … Continue reading January Favourites
I love a good face mask. It’s a real pamper moment for yourself and reminds me of sleepovers with friends (usually using those one-use sachets with ridiculous images of a fruit basket on someone’s face click here). There are so many masks nowadays that it doesn’t just have to be to relax. There’s detox, energise, calm, glow, sheet, peel-off… the list goes on. I try … Continue reading Favourite masks
Last weekend I spent 48 hours in Spain. I was flying Ryanair which meant all I could take was about the clothes on my back and a packet of chewing gum, so I had to think hard about what products would make the cut into my washbag.

If you lived in the UK or US during the 2000s, chances are you bought a couple of St Ives Apricot Scrubs in that time but (thankfully) since then, the exfoliation game has come on a long way. … Continue reading Liquid Exfoliators
This afternoon, I put on a Caroline Hirons YouTube video in the background while I was tidying up the bedroom (rock and roll!). And as I was folding up my husband’s trousers which is obviously too complicated a task, she mentioned her friend who has become the editor of NEW BEAUTY MAGAZINE. I stopped said folding, rewound the video 20 seconds to check I wasn’t … Continue reading A beauty magazine- it does exist!
Following on yesterday’s post, I went on to Elle magazine’s website and read the article ‘4 Beauty Treatments you should do during Winter AKA right now’. One of the articles I shared in yesterday’s post was arguing that those with the most money will have the best skin because the treatments which work are the ones which cost the big bucks. So according to Elle, … Continue reading My winter skin prep
