Valentine’s Day With Sparkling Direct*

11th February 2019 4 Comments

It’s been a while since J and I really bothered with Valentine’s Day. When we first got together he surprised me with a trip to Disneyland Paris (which I’ve written about here) but it sort of all went downhill from there really! I think he peaked too soon and set an impossible standard to match up to 😂😂

The year after, I received some beautiful potted roses and we’ve also done the obligatory box of chocolates but after that, it pretty much dwindled down to getting a takeaway so I didn’t have to cook!!

A Chatty Catch-Up | January 2019

5th February 2019 6 Comments

Whoop whoop, it’s the first catch-up post of the new year and it’s only 5 days late!! Don’t expect too much though, I’ve not exactly been busy this month. I think January is definitely the month to be hibernating and take it easy 😂😂

Food Shopping Organisation

29th January 2019 8 Comments

I’m ridiculously proud about my organisation skills when it comes to doing the weekly food shop. I recently shared how I do it with a couple of my friends and they were pretty impressed by it, so I thought I’d share it with you guys to see if it could help you too!

My Deer Tattoo

15th January 2019 15 Comments

I have no idea why, but for the last 10 years (at least) I’ve really, really wanted a tattoo of a deer’s head on my thigh. I just think deer (and stags) are magnificent animals and really majestic ♥

Well, it’s now 2019 and I’ve just got round to writing my December catch-up for 2018, oops!

I’m definitely excited to see the back of 2018 and get on with 2019; not in the least because I have three tattoo sessions booked in for the next three months 😊😊

You know there are certain moments when you feel like you’ve made it as a blogger and it’s never going to get any better? That’s pretty much how I felt when I was contacted by Pixi Beauty and asked if I wanted to try out their toners 🥰🥰🥰

A Very Festive Hamper From Jet2holidays*

24th December 2018 6 Comments

If I’m being completely honest, I haven’t really felt festive at all this year. So far, I’ve watched 0 Christmas films, made 0 eggnogs, decorated 0 Christmas trees and sung at the top of my voice in the car to 0 Christmas songs. I’m not exactly Scrooge but it’s been really hard to get into the swing of it this year.

5 Must-Have Products For Winter

18th December 2018 2 Comments

We all know it’s the season for colds, flu and generally feeling run down so I’ve tried to find the perfect products to help me stay healthy this winter.

It’s also party season, time for families and getting closer to people than you generally would so I’ve also been testing out products to keep my mouth in tip-top condition for those awkward kisses with relatives and people you haven’t seen for years!

La Cave a Fromage is somewhere I’ve been past on the bus many times and have always wanted to go in and try. Recently, I finally got my wish and I headed there with my lovely friend Tania for their fondue night and a long over-due catch-up!
