February Favourites

I'm a bit of a creature of habit when it comes to make up and skincare and tend to stick to what I like, which is why a monthly favourites section is rare for me, purely because it would end up featuring the same stuff every month - and nobody's got time for that right? However, I've discovered some new loves in February so thought I would share them with you all...

Songs I Can't Stop Listening To

I've never really posted about music on my blog before but there's a first time for everything, right?  Here's some songs I just can't seem to get out of my head at the moment...

Book Review #7 / Hero Or Zero

As I've become a bit of a bookworm this year, I was very excited when an author - Julie Shackman -contacted me a couple of weeks ago asking if I'd like to review her latest novel 'Hero or Zero'*. I needed a bit of light reading after the past few thrillers I've read so this little romantic comedy sounded right up my street. I'm also about 5 years late to the party here but this is the first book I've ever read electronically (can you believe it!?)

20 Girl Problems - Part 2

I loved writing my last girl problems post but realised a list of 20 didn't really cover them all! So, here's part 2 of yet more problems and predicaments that come with being a lady...

Wishlist #3 / The Grey Edition

Whilst I haven't exactly been jumping on the 50 Shades of Grey bandwagon, I can't deny that it did give me the inspiration for this grey-themed wishlist. With payday edging closer and closer, it's only right that I'm already on the hunt for things to blow my money on when it comes in...

Book Review #6 / Before We Met

We all know I love a good thriller and, what drew me to this book, was the comparisons to 'Gone Girl' I had seen mentioned in a few different magazines and reviews. Despite the ending of Gone Girl (we won't get into that right now), I was utterly enthralled by Gillian Flynn's thriller and read it in one day straight, whilst on holiday a couple of years ago. So, I was eager to read Lucie Whitehouse's latest novel in the hopes it would have me just as hooked...

Lush Lovin'

January left my skin in a bit of a sorry, spotty state so, when February came, I was on a bit of a mission to seek out some products that would restore it back to it's blemish-free self. When it comes to their skincare, Lush is a brand I've always admired from a distance - I've read countless reviews about how good their products are, yet never actually tried them out for myself. So, after researching into these two blemish busters, I thought I'd give them a go...

Pinterest Pretty Home Decorations - On A Budget

Since moving into my flat last year, I'm always on the look out for pretty little nik naks to give it that homely touch. I can spend hours on Pinterest browsing away at homeware inspiration but often find a lot of it is WAY out of my budget. Luckily, I've found a lot of little gems recently that are easy on the eye - and your bank balance.

Book Review #5 / Daughter

After my brief affair with a romantic comedy last week, I decided to get straight back into a suspense-filled thriller - they are my favourite kind of book, after all. This weeks novel of choice, by Jane Shemilt, tells the tale of a mother whose teenager daughter goes missing. A year later, and she's still no closer to finding her...

Cheap & Cheerful Valentines Gift Ideas - For Him & Her

Valentines Day isn't really something that my boyfriend and I celebrate - even though we've been together for over 5 years! I just think it's a bit commercialized, if I'm honest. However, we do still like to get each other random bits and pieces - usually food related, something funny or a bit cheesy. Here's a couple of ideas I've put together if you're wanting to get your loved one just a little something (be it a male or a female...)

Book Review #4 / The Best Thing That Never Happened To Me

The past few books I've read have been thrillers so it was very refreshing to have a little romantic comedy to read this week. These types of books can be a bit hit and miss, in my opinion, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this novel...
