Real Talk #3: The Tattoo Taboo

Sunday, November 29, 2015

Blonde hair, blue eyes, yeah - I have the typical 'girl next door' look - so it may surprise you to find out that I have tattoos. No, that wasn't a typo, I actually have four inkings that I have accumulated over the last five years.

Photo by Chaitra @ PinkPot Design Studio - someone who definitely knows their stuff! Is it just me, or has everyone turned into a self-proclaimed expert in one field or another recently?

Let's face it, it's been a bit dreary round these parts as of late; my mood has been as dreary and relentless as the winter weather, but I know I'm not the only one feeling this way. Therefore, today's post is aimed at helping one of you lucky so-and-sos beat those winter blues (or summer blues, if you're in the southern hemisphere - let's not lie, you're having a great time!!) and fast forward...

Oh, hey there! So, I'm going to level with you, the last few weeks have been tough. My depression has set in again with avengence because I literally have nothing to do; as explained in this post my anxiety is making it somewhat challenging to work in a full time, stressful position, and I'm somehow overqualified yet underqualified for part time/Christmas job positions which has left me running...

Any girl who has ever had a makeup favourite has had a back up. Let's face it, we all have our own little corners of our rooms or bathrooms where we store extra products - whether they be travel minis for the holiday you've been planning, freebies from a magazine or extras from a beauty box that might come in useful one day, or backups of your favourite lipstick that you keep just in case the...

Cheerz to the memories

Sunday, November 8, 2015

During my year abroad I started a scrapbook, and did I manage to keep it up? I'll give you one guess. Ever since I landed back on British soil after my 10-month adventure back in 2014, I've been meaning to get crafty and finally compile a book filled with photos and little mementos of my time in both Russia and Spain, but of course with the stress of final year, I never got around to it - despite...

MADEUP: Getting festive!

Friday, November 6, 2015

Hello all! Sorry I haven't posted for a week or so, I've been taking a break for personal reasons, but I'm trying to get back into my routine as of today. For this post I decided to jump back in at the deep end and continue my madeup series with a festive look that will be great for any parties over the holiday season.
