A few months ago I got a gorgeous floral embroidered biker jacket from SimplyBe, and as I fell truly fell in love with it I thought I would share some of my autumn styling picks from them too. Simply Be are a place I know I can go to, shop and not feel horrible about myself. I’m a plus size gal so when I go to most high street stores, or buy online, I always come away feeling frumpy or just plain ol ‘too fat for fashion’. However, when I pick up pieces from Simply Be I feel my age and not ...
Helping to Ease Screen Eyes with Optrex ActiMist 2-in-1
*Advertorial Content f I had to put a figure on the amount of time I spend staring at a screen I would say it’s a good 65% of my day at least, which means my eyes can sometimes suffer for my Netflix addiction. If I am not at work staring at my 2 screens full of Excel spreadsheets then I am at home on my laptop; whether that be blogging, watching YouTube/Netflix or editing my pictures. I think the only time I am not staring at a screen is when I’m sleeping or listening to podcasts. Because of ...
How I’ve Fallen Back in Love With Instagram & Grown My Following
I’m assuming you’ve read the title of this post and clicked it because I must be the only person in the blogging community that is openly saying they’re having a love affair with Instagram right now. Well I am, and I am not ashamed of my current love. This is even stranger for those words to be leaving my mouth as 6 weeks ago I wasn’t posting on the platform as I hated it, I hated it more than my ex and I wanted to kick it in the balls - yes, Instagram is male FYI. So, how have I managed to fall ...
4 of the Best Blogging Podcasts to Up Your Blog Game

However lately I have found myself listening to them as I am pottering around the house, in work and whilst blogging. I have mostly been listening to True Crime podcasts, as I have a morbid fascination with all things macabre and gruesome. But recently I wanted to make use of my podcast time and see if I could find podcasts that would help me on my blogging ...
Fenty Beauty At Harvey Nichols, Holy Grail or Over Hyped?
don’t usually go in for celeb makeup lines, they’re just not my thing and I always think that they’re done as a way to make money; shove your name on a lipstick and watch the £££ roll in. I still haven’t bothered to try a Kylie product, and I have nails longer than the KKW Kontour Sticks - I am not about that hype product life, not to mention they never release on UK shores. So, when I first heard about Fenty Beauty I was PRAYING it would be something amazing, that Rhi wouldn’t fail us, and she ...
Getting that Oommph Back with Slimfast & #SlimfastBreakfastClub
bet you’re thinking ‘here we go again, another post where Hayley says she’s gonna stop been a glutton and get in shape’. Well you’re wrong. I’ve realised that when it comes to weight loss it’s all about making small and manageable changes. Recently I have been trying out the Slimfast 3.2.1 plan, although doing so in my own way so it fits around my life and also what I can realistically manage. I like to keep things simple as the rest of my life is one busy mess, plus I like to do things my way ...
