Spiezia Organics is an award winning skin care brand, and I met some of the team behind the Cornish company (their products are actually manufactured near Truro) at the Professional Beauty Show with my mate Mitra a few weeks ago. I hadn’t heard of Spiezia before, but she’d actually visited their team in Cornwall several years ago. We got … Continue reading

Liz Nehdi’s Spring/Summer 2015 Collection Launch at Wolf & Badger
London-based American designer, Liz Nehdi, launched her first collection at Wolf & Badger in Notting Hill last week. I went along to check out the collection (you lot know I love seeing what London designers are up to, and I really like the items Wolf & Badger curate) and have a cheeky cocktail, of course!

Film Review: Cinderella (2015)
A Sunday morning at the cinema with your line manager and her family may not sound like great fun to you, but that’s probably because your line manager isn’t Mokuska and her family isn’t awesome. So when Moksuka offered me a pre-release screening ticket to see the live action version of Cinderella on Sunday with her family, I … Continue reading
Winter skincare routine
It’s been a while since I last wrote about my skin care routine, so I thought I’d do a post roundup of a few of the skin care products I’ve been reaching for these chilly winter days… Continue reading
Bath time is the best time
When I was a kid I hated bath time. For no real reason at all, being submerged in warm, soapy water to bathe was probably the worst, most traumatic thing I could imagine experiencing. But not anymore! Now I’m grown up and finding enough time to fill the tub and enjoy a bath is pure … Continue reading
Dr Bronner’s Organic Lip Balm
It feels like every day my lip balm goes missing (you too?) and I end up digging through my handbag and coat pockets for one that I just know is in there… somewhere. And when it’s a lip balm emergency I’m pretty happy to apply just about anything, but to avoid that I tend to stock up on products I … Continue reading
Review: Benecos Natural Mineral Powder & Powder Blush Trio (plus an every day makeup look!)
When the team at Pravera sent me an email to feature Benecos products on my blog, I wasn’t sure what to expect. First of all I hadn’t heard of Benecos, and second the price put me off – as much as I love cheap and cheerful, I won’t feature products on my blog that can’t … Continue reading
Brunch and a wander through Brick Lane’s Vintage Market
I’ve lived in London for nearly five years now (when did that happen?!) and during that time nothing quite says ‘it’s the weekend!’ to me like brunch and a wander through a market. I don’t do this nearly as often as I used to – mostly due to being ‘grownup’ and having to do ‘errands’ … Continue reading
My first Lipstick Queen lippies
Lipstick Queen is one of those brands I’d heard lots about, so when I saw this trio of lippies for half price in the Christmas sales I didn’t have to think twice – I knew I was going to be bringing them home to try! Continue reading
Review: Eyeko Eye Do Mascara and Liquid Eyeliner
Ever since I tried the Alexa for Eyeko Eye Do Mascara and Liquid Eyeliner last summer I’ve wanted to write about them, but just never seemed to get around to it… until now. Continue reading
