Ten Beauty Essentials I Couldn't Be Without

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Get yourself a cup of tea, and get yourself comfortable for a bit of beauty talk. We all have a list of essential beauty products, the ones we use every single day, the ones we need in our handbag or in our bathroom cabinet, and need to be stocked up on. Today I wanted to share with you my top ten beauty essentials that I use day in, day out, and couldn't be without.

Casual Stripes

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well. I’ve got a quick outfit post to share today, no fancy photographs, but that’s ok - my blog is my little corner of the internet and I'm trying to be more relaxed and just post content I want, rather than feel presdured for it to be a certain standard. So I’m bringing it back with a simple outfit post. If you’ve seen my latest post - my ASOS wish list - you’ll know I was in the look for some basic tops for my spring / summer wardrobe and this was one of the items I decided to order. I knew it was one of those staple t-shirts to have in my wardrobe, that I can wear time and time again, for various occasions.

ASOS Spring Tops and Blouses Wishlist

Hello everyone, I hope you're well! In light of the sun coming out the past couple of days, I've been straight on asos looking for a couple of new pieces for my spring wardrobe. While I really don't need to be buying a whole new wardrobe, one thing I feel as though I'm lacking is tops and blouses for spring. I know I can always rely on asos to find my basics, as well as nicer pieces - there's always stuff I love on there.

Six Spring Beauty Favourites

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well! And hello Spring! The weather is finally getting warmer, we're having more sunny days, and I'm loving it. I love beauty products when it comes to Spring and Summer, I love to keep things minimal - just a few products that will make my bronzed and glowy. In light of the new season, and with my first holiday of the year just a couple of weeks away, I wanted to sit and write about six of my favourite products I'm loving this Spring.

Bareminerals Original and Tinted Mineral Veil

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well! I'm getting stuck back into product reviews today, and wanted to dedicate a post to my holy grail finishing powder that I use every single day, and have done for years now. I'm surprised I've not given a full review of this yet and only ever seem to mention it in passing on my blog, but since it's such a favourite I thought it was only right to share my full thoughts on the Bareminerals mineral veil powder, and also the tinted mineral veil powder, which is a more recent favourite.

Six Things I'm Looking Forward To This Spring / Summer

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Now we're into April, and I'm coming to the end of university, I'm feeling really excited about what I have to look forward to this Spring and Summer. I love writing these reflective type of posts, so I wanted to share with you the six main things I have to look forward to over the next upcoming months.

A Cosy Weekend Away: Darcy Mews - Richmond

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Today I wanted to share with you my experience staying at Darcy Mews - Richmond for a weekend away with friends. It was a lovely relaxing weekend, away from our normal lives, in an area with lots of countryside, pubs, and staying in a luxurious, cosy apartment.

Styling A Trench Coat

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. We're into Spring now, and the weather is finally starting to warm up a little, so I've moved away from my big winter coat, and so out comes my trusty trench coat which is perfect for the transition. Here I styled mine with black skinny jeans, a blouse, and my brogues which made the perfect outfit for a spot of shopping, followed by a meal with my family.

Spring Style Wishlist

At last, it's officially the first day of Spring! I've been longing for Spring for a good few weeks now - for warmer weather, brighter nights, more blue skies and more sunshine. Especially since we had a really bad hit of snow recently in the UK, I'm so glad to say hello to Spring. And with new season, I'm of course thinking about my wardrobe, which of course means a wish list.

6 Product Simple Every Day Makeup

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well! Today I'm sharing my incredibly simple, six product everyday makeup look that is my go-to for university. I don't have too much time in the mornings, because let's face it I'd rather spend those extra ten minutes in bed, and I like to keep getting ready as quick and easy as possible so I can get on with my day. All I use is these six products for a simple, natural, and comfortable face for the day.

My Top Tips For Booking A Holiday

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. I wanted to sit down and write a different kind of post today, and talk holidays. Me and my boyfriend recently booked up a holiday for June, for seven days of sun and relaxation at resort in Kos. Me, as a student and him a young professional, we made sure we did our research, and took our time in booking our holiday to ensure we found the best possible deal. So, I thought I'd share my top tips for booking a holiday I've learned from booking my own holidays over the past couple of years.

Current Beauty Favourites

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. I wanted to put together a post of some recent beauty finds that I've been loving over the past month. I don't often do round up favourite posts, as I don't try new things often enough, but these are some real favourites I've come across recently that I want to talk about.

Family Saturday

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Today I wanted to share with you last Saturday's outfit - a lovely blue skied day, which was perfect for a nice long walk in the crisp air with my family, followed by a lunch. Perfect Saturday. As we're still in February, the air has still got a chill, and the wind can be pretty nasty when it catches you - so I wanted to be warm, comfortable, but somewhat stylish and put together.

Writing An Undergraduate Dissertation: My Top Tips

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. With just a couple of weeks left to go until my dissertation deadline, I thought it was the perfect time to share with you my top tips for writing a dissertation, based on what I've learned through my process. My supervision has ended, and I'm now in the final stages of writing, editing, and preparing for the hand in. Writing a dissertation can seem incredibly daunting, but you can get through it, and for me, it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. So, here are my top tips.

Clinique Pop Lip Colour and Primer

Hello everyone I hope you're well. I've got a product review today, as I wanted to put the spotlight on a new lipstick I've been trying, and loving, the Clinique Pop Lip Colour and Primer in the shade Punch Pop. This is actually the first Clinique lipstick I own, but since I love all the skincare and makeup products I've tried so far, I doubted that this would disappoint. When I got my anti-blemish skincare for Christmas, I could select five mini sample products to make up a goodie-bag alongside my skincare, and this was one of the things I chose. So, what are my thoughts?

The Everyday Lip Edit

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. We're talking beauty today, and I thought I'd put together a post sharing my favourite lipsticks and glosses for on the daily. Back in December I put together a Festive Lip Edit, and so I thought I would do the same but for the products I reach for, for my everyday makeup looks.

The Check Shirt

Hello everyone, I hope you're well. I've got an outfit post today, as I couldn't not share my new favourite shirt. I've been on the hunt for a checked shirt for a while, and here it is. I styled it with jeans, brogues, a black coat and my trusty over the shoulder Radley bag, and it made the perfect outfit for a day out shopping. It was warm, comfortable, and stylish.

How I Stay Organised

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Today I wanted to share my top tips, and the ways I best keep myself organised. Organisation is something we all need in our lives. I've always considered myself an organised person, I love to plan, to keep things in order, and manage my time so I have a good balance. I'm currently in my final few months of university,  so things are pretty hectic at the minute as I write my 10,000 word dissertation, study for my modules, write my blog, and fit in being a functioning person with a social life - so keeping myself organised, and ensuring my time is managed and balanced is key. So, how do I stay organised?

What's In My Makeup Bag For The Weekend

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Today I wanted to share with you what's inside my makeup bag for a typical weekend I have away from where I live. As a university student, packing up my makeup bag for a weekend is a commonality, since I visit home for the weekend pretty regularly. I personally love to have a little nosy into what others have in their makeup bags, because after all, what you chose to select in your makeup bag is going to be your favourite, trusted, and most-used products, so here's what's in mine.
