Valentine's Day Gift Inspiration

Friday, 29 January 2016

Image source


Ok people, we are only a couple of weeks away from Valentine’s Day.

Will you be doing anything special with your love? It might even just be a day to spend time with your girly friends and enjoy being single.

If you do have some gifts to buy, though, it can be hard to know what to buy. It is nice to be able to get your other half something special, but at the same time not spend a lot of money.

I am a sucker for Valentine’s day but I know that it is important to show love to them on more than just one set day a year. No harm in spreading a little love, though.

So here are a few Valentine’s day gift ideas...

#Project2016 | My Personal Goals

Wednesday, 27 January 2016


So, we're racing through January. And although I've posted about why New Year's Resolutions don't work, how to set goals that stick and finding goals that will save you money and how to find your motivation, I haven't actually shared what my goals for the year are.

A lot of time has been spent thinking about this year, how I want it to be, what I want to get out of it. Instead of jumping right in, I've tried to figure it out properly, in the name of making lasting and sustainable change in areas that are meaningful to me.

And as I thought about it more and more, a thought jumped out at me. This is all about less. For most of us, our goals have been about more- how to get more, do more, achieve more. Have we ever stopped to smell the roses, to enjoy it all?

Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama | Review

Monday, 25 January 2016


Every time a new mascara launches, I get excited. My dreams of astoundingly long, hyper real Disney Princess lashes will never die. 

Every time I think this new formula could be the one for me. The one that will deliver volume, length and no clumps or splatters. 

One mascara to rule them all.

For a while, I had individual lash extensions, so I didn't have a use for mascara, but I've reverted to bare lashes at the moment, so when I saw this new launch from Maybelline I took the plunge.  

I'm no mascara snob and my head can be turned by drugstore and high end formulas alike. So I had high hopes for The Falsies Push Up Drama. But would it deliver?

Easy Dark Chocolate Banana Protein Pancakes

Wednesday, 20 January 2016



Are you on a new year health kick? At a guess, something like 80% of the population spend January trying to clean up their diet after the festive excess.

Perhaps it was even your New Years Resolution to lose some weight?

Well this is the week that most people fall off the wagon, so in order to keep us all going, I'm going to be sharing a favourite recipe that tastes sinful but is really quite saintly! (Besides, this post explains why resolutions don't work and these two show how to set goals that stick  and how to find motivation).

I don't usually share recipes on here, but these are so good. As part of my #Project2016 series, I'll be trying out some more healthy cooking treats and I'll be sharing some of the best ones here.

Dark chocolate and banana pancakes with syrup doesn't sound like something you should be able to eat without feeling guilty, but wait!!

Mummy Essentials: The Mamascarf Nursing Cover | Review

Sunday, 17 January 2016


Today's post is aimed at all you mamas (or mamas to be!). I'm going to be running some posts reviewing the baby items that have really turned out to be worth it.

There are literally so many gadgets, aids and products aimed at parting new parents with their cash, and deciding what is worth the spend and what isn't is so hard. 

Some items turn out to be amazing and you wonder how on earth you lived without them (nod to the Boba Air carrier, the Poddle Pod and my beloved SkipHop Duo Deluxe changing bag here, all of which I'll be reviewing) and some items are a big waste of money (looking at you, Moses basket and changing table).

Then we come to the items where I just kind of sit on the fence… And the Mamascarf is one of those.

#Project2016 | 7 Motivation Hacks That Work to Get You Going

Thursday, 14 January 2016


If you're anything like me, motivation can be an absolute bitch, even when you clearly have a goal in sight.

What is this elusive thing called willpower, and where do we find it? How can we make ourselves take the steps we know we need to take in order to achieve something? Wherefore art thou, motivation?

So far, we've talked about why New Year's Resolutions don't work, and how to set goals that stick. So now I'd like to look at how to get moving on a plan when your spark is gone.

Makeup Revolution £5 Heroine Set | Review

Tuesday, 12 January 2016


I used to say that Makeup Revolution was one of my favourite budget make-up brands.

Now I just say it's one of my favourite make-up brands full stop. Almost every single product I've tried from their range has performed amazingly (not just amazingly for the price). There have been a couple of things I didn't get on with, although I think that would be the case in any range, but mostly I've been wowed.

For beauty junkies, it's a cost effective way to grab a fix or try a new type of product. For make-up beginners its a way to gather a whole kit of great quality items.

Recently I treated myself to a couple of items for my collection, and this little kit was one of them.

The ‘Heroine’ collection would make an ideal little gift but I just bought it for myself, because I'm greedy like that! It was just £5. £5!!! I just couldn't resist at that silly price.

For the £5, you get a small make-up bag, a lipgloss and a mini eyeshadow palette. Absolutely great value and I already knew I'd love it.

Stealing Beauty | Mini Bargain Haul

Wednesday, 6 January 2016

Who doesn't love a beauty bargain? 

Especially at this time of year after paying for Christmas! 

I absolutely love the thrill of getting a great deal, so I always have my eyes open to great sales and clearance shelves. 

Of course, to qualify as a bargain, something also has to be useful and great value for what it is. It's not about price - it's value for money, and that is a different thing entirely. So, a cheap dress is not a bargain if you wear it once and it needs chucking away.  

When it comes to beauty, I like to use bargains either to stock up on something I already use regularly or to try something new out and see if it suits me. 

My favourite hunting grounds are the clearance shelf at Boots (did you know Boots have these? They're usually hidden away somewhere quiet at the back of the store) and also supermarkets, who regularly mark down skincare and haircare products.

I found some great items there lately...
