It wasn’t until I started to suffer with eczema badly that I considered natural products, whether it be for hygiene or for beauty. The idea of putting chemicals on my skin isn’t so appealing anymore and ever since that revelation of mine, I haven’t looked back. Here are three of my main ‘natural tricks’ I’ve...

I’m a lover of makeup, but I’m not such a makeup guru that I’d be willing to pay over £20 on a new MAC lipstick on a weekly basis, or £80 on a foundation just because it’s ‘high-end’. £40 is the highest I’d go for my Clinique Foundation and anything higher I would kindly ask...

My friend had her first baby six years ago and, as a way of saying thank you for a gift that I gave her, she handmade me a personalised Thank You card. I loved it. I still have it to this day and it means as much to me now as it did then. A...

Yesterday morning, still half asleep, I realigned my mirror with one hand and reached for my black Sephora make-up bag with the other.
