Recently I was invited to dine at Massala Hut in London, with the suggestion that I consider writing a blog post if I enjoyed the food and experience. Well, lucky for them I did enjoy the food and the experience, so here is a wee blog post to tell you about it… Continue reading

Get Ready to GLOW with Caroline Hirons and Amanda Bell at Pixi on 11 June 2015
As an avid reader of Caroline Hirons’ blog I’d heard lots about the Pixi Glow Tonic, and as someone with acneic skin I was pretty keen to try this toner with 5% glycolic acid, aloe vera and ginseng. So when she blogged that she would be at Pixi’s Get Ready to GLOW event, I decided to pop by … Continue reading
I’m back from my blogging break!
Why, hello there! It’s been a while. Did you change your hair? It looks great. For the past month I’ve taken an active break from blogging, spending my time travelling in the UK and USA for pleasure and Europe for work, focusing on family and friends and just relaxing in my spare time. It was … Continue reading
Reviewing my French beauty buys: CaudalĂe Purifying Mask
OK, so, I have a bit of a confession to make: as much as I love skin care and beauty, face masks have never really been ‘my thing’. I’ve tried a few that I really like, but I never used them often – just here & there when I had a particular skin concern to … Continue reading
Earl of East London x Blue Guy Pottery: Wanderlust Series
For the past couple months my colleague Nikko (AKA my desk buddy, *waves*) has been bringing in candles that he’s developed for his business, Earl of East London, and I’ve responded by trying to sneak them home (he’s clever and always catches me). So when Earl of East London collaborated with Blue Guy Pottery for the Wanderlust series I was all … Continue reading
New in London: Melt Room (It never melt so good…)

It’s not too far from my office, so on the opening day several of my colleagues and I stopped by on our … Continue reading

Reviewing my French Beauty Buys: Biotherm Biosource
This review about Biotherm’s Biosource is one that I’ve been really excited about writing. It was thrust into my hands during my French Pharmacy experience and recommended for me over a more expensive cleanser on my list so I wasn’t about to say no. Though at first glance I totally judged the bottle by it’s design and thought: hrmph, that … Continue reading
Checking out Lucky Dip Club: It’s Raining Cats & Dogs
Subscription boxes: they’re trendy, fun, and usually less than ÂŁ20 after p&p – which means they can make a nice monthly gift to yourself. So after following Lucky Dip Club on Instagram for a few months and totally falling in love with the bright colours and quirky designs, I decided to take the plunge, purchase a box, and … Continue reading
Review: Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics
It’s not often that a brand gifts me something to trial that I’m so over the moon about that I feel like I need to shout about it, but when that happens I feel like I need to put a huge THESE ARE MY HONEST OPINIONS disclaimer in all capital letters right at the start … Continue reading
