I've always wanted to try the Sand & Sky Australian Pink Clay mask, however, I cannot justify the £41.90 price tag! Randomly, on my outing to Aldi of all places, I came across some dupes - not only of the mask, but also a scrub and cleanser. Intrigued, I purchased the set and can say [...]

CHATTY WEEK – BODY FAT
Body fat. We all have it. And we need it, whether we like it or not. This is a topic that I could spend hours going into, involving BMR, health, genes, gender, lifestyle, blah blah, but I won't bore you with that today! I'm also mindful that some PTs may be a little skeptical with [...]
REVIEW – BUMBLE + BUMBLE SUNDAY SHAMPOO
I was a little tentative to purchase this shampoo at first, mainly because of the mixed reviews and hefty price tag for 250ml ... £22.50! Honestly, I have wanted to try this for a while. I ordered it on lookfantastic and I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised. It claims to be a weekly [...]
CHATTY WEEK – VE DAY
Like many people in the UK, I was confused to hear why this year's Early May Bank Holiday was moved to a Friday. The reason: VE Day! WHAT IS VE DAY?This year is the 75th VE Day Anniversary which celebrates Victory in Europe Day, the day Prime Minister Churchill made a broadcast to the nation, [...]
REVIEW – MARIO BADESCU DRYING LOTION
I'm a little late to jump on the hype, but I thought I would give the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion a try. It's an award winning spot solution and has become a staple in my skincare routine. I've always suffered with blemishes from hormones and stress, so I invested in this small glass bottle (that [...]
VEGAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO
I first came across this Risotto when I went to my work Christmas Do last year. Oh my, it was delicious! I thought I would give it a go and re-create it. This can be vegan and gluten-free, providing you keep an eye on the ingredients, especially the stock cube. I'm pretty pleased with the [...]
WHAT’S IN MY MAKE UP BAG?
I'm always curious to see what is in others make up bags and I'm sure I'm one of many. When I started this blog I said I would be posting some beauty posts, so hopefully this is the start of many. Whilst it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I'd be interested to see [...]

COOKIES – NUTELLA EDITION
Apologies for the lack of a post last week, I was in fact very ill which is unlike me - I will spare you the details. I hope you are staying safe and well during this uncertain and confusing time. I haven't been able to get the original post I wanted to go up due [...]
THINGS TO DO WHEN QUARANTINED!
My original post for this week was meant to cover my Travel Bucketlist and places I've been to - however, due to recent events, I didn't think it would be appropriate! My holiday to Gran Canaria has been cancelled as a result so I'm feeling a little down and am sure others are due to [...]
