How the Internet Changed Me, and Probably You.
Can you imagine a life without the internet? Well, if you’re over 28 years old you probably remember the days before logging online and becoming los tin another world for hours on end… The days of actually having to do things to amuse yourself and of having to play outside (oh the horror). I previously wrote about times gone by in a The Struggles Today’s Youth Will Never Know, a kinda tongue in cheek post about how things have changed, including the internet. You generally remember the times ...
A Life Catch Up & Other Excuses For Being a Sh*t Blogger
Hi, my name is Hayley and you may remember me from such shows as Tea Party Beauty, When I Used to Blog & What’s Your Excuse This Time… I have starred in the latter show many many times. I could sit here and tell you all the reasons why I haven’t blogged properly in the last 2 months, and probably get a whole host of sympathy for them. But, for the most part it’s just been laziness - I couldn’t be arsed. I’m not going to tell you how busy I have been with work or the bloggers blog awards, ...
The #BloggersBlogAwards 2017, Voting Now Open
Welcome to the 3rd annual #BloggersBlogAwards… OK wait, that sounds far too serious for me. But, can you believe it, we are in our 3rd year of the awards.

Summer 2017 Jewelry Trends You Don’t Want to Miss

But we’re not only talking about clothes or shoes here. Other important accessories like jewelry, hats and beach wear were also prominent on the runways. Their styles range from minimal to flamboyant and from modern to retro, even some pieces a bit on the eccentric side. However, one thing is for sure. The rest of 2017 is going to be pretty exciting ...
Summer Scents for Every Occasion & Every Budget
FOR THE OFFICE I hate using my hella expensive perfumes for work, I ain’t paying £100 to fragrance the office. I much prefer using body mists and sprays, as they’re generally cheaper, lighter smelling and small enough to throw in my handbag if I need a top up. Recently I have been using the ixxi Fragrant Waters and throwing them in my work handbag for work. The ixxi Fragrant Waters cost €20.40 for 30ml* and for a body spray they last incredibly well, so much so that unless I am nipping ...
