A Little Update

Hey guys, so I have a couple of things that I want to share with you so, I'd better get started..

First up my blog might be a little drier than normal for the next couple of months as it's coming up to the beginning of exam season which means sweating my bum off revising for Food Technology and finishing coursework for Art and Textiles, and I get very stressed when under pressure, so I just want to say that my blog will have to take a back seat for a while just so I can do the best I can.

Secondly, with the #NoMakeUpSelfie trending in the UK, I wanted to share my selfie with you and please donate anything you can, it can help research the cures for cancer so millions of people in the world don't have to lose their battle with cancer. You can donate here and find more about cancer here.


Have a good weekend and I'll put a post up when I can,

Favourite Pins #1 Saint Patrick's Day

Hey guys, today I'm going to talk about the love of my life at the minute and that is Pinterest, I'm obsessed with the architecture, interior design, fashion and of course the food. But as today is St Patrick's day, I thought I would share with you my favourite pins for this occasion.


Top Left: I love having quotes in photo frames as I think it has a really nice effect and I thought that was a really cute idea and I think it would look so good in a rustic frame as well.

Middle: A cheeky little cocktail that looks very nice and you can find the recipe here.

Top Right: How cute is that design?

Bottom Left: No words apart from gimme some!

Bottom Right: This would be such a good idea for children or as a good bag for a party.

All of these pins and a few extra are on my Saint Patrick's Day board which you can find here.

Have a good evening!

Empties #1

Hey guys, today I thought I would share with you my empties as I've used up a few products and I want to share them with you. 


(currently on offer at Superdrug!)

First up we have the shampoo, it smells amazing, and it's the perfect shampoo as it contains no sulphates or silicones, and doesn't strip the hair of natural oils. It lathers up like a beauty and my hair felt amazing and I could get away without washing it for three days but as I got further down the bottle it started to make my hair mega greasy on the first day of washing which wasn't good(but I'm not sure if it's from the shampoo or conditioner)

Next is the conditioner, which again it smells amazing, it smells like a concoction of vanilla, caramel and apricot, it has a really thick creamy texture and it feels that it's really conditioning my hair. But same as the shampoo it made my hair really greasy(but I'm not sure if it's from the shampoo or conditioner)


I love this shower gel and I will definitely repurchase it as it smells amazing (think of the traditional pink scent from them) and the scent does linger for about one-two hours. It lathers up nicely although I do use a lot so I get the foaminess I like, and it feels really moisturising like it adds another layer to my skin, which is good as I have eczema and it stops me from scratching my skin. 

So, the shower gel gets a thumbs up from me but the shampoo and conditioner not so much. Have you tried these products?
