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 ...
Setting a Blog Schedule & Sticking To It
When it comes to blogging the hardest thing for me is sticking to a schedule. I start off with all good intentions and then life usually gets in the way. However, I’ve found that over the last 2 years a clearly set out schedule and plan helps me keep on track and focused. Many people use notebooks and diaries to keep their schedule, however due to me always swapping and changing mine around I make such a mess of paper based ones. Because of this the blog notebooks that I do have are usually ...
An Uncommon Homeware Wishlist
I’m very edgy when it comes to homeware, and by edgy I mean boring. My entire house is monochrome, surprise surprise, although I do have a tiny splash of colour in my kitchen by way of some stacked coloured cups.

My search for monochrome yet ‘quirky’ pieces led me to the homewares section of UncommonGoods; they have some truly ...
Tips on How to Get a New Look for Your Long, Brown Hair
Want a big life change? – Start with your hairstyle. When spring comes, our soul desires a full reboot: beginning with physical appearance and finishing in lifestyle habits.

If you’re searching for an amazing (but almost effortless!) update for your gorgeous long brown hair, but don’t know what would be ...
The YSL Couture Brow Wardrobe, For Fancy AF Brows
Do you ever wake up some days and just think to yourself ‘today I am going to be extra af’? For me those days are when I want to use every product I own and take some care and attention to my makeup, instead of the usual morning makeup rush of just throwing some bits on my face in under 10 minutes. Since having my brows microbladed & shaded it’s been a lot simpler when it comes to the morning brow routine, and most days I can get away with a few sweeps of brow mascara or a few strokes of a ...
Take a Minute Just Sit Right There, I’ll tell you How I Became … Catfished
Now this is the story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became … Catfished. Not exactly a serious start to a post, but let’s call it an ice breaker or a written Valium; something to take the edge off. If you follow me on Twitter you might have seen my thread posts over the last couple of days, about my latest tale of woe. So why am I writing about it here, on my blog, when this is usually my happy place? ...
