Matchy-Matchy // Autumn Lips + Nails

BEAUTY

I've always been the sort of person that loves matching their nail varnish choice to other details in an outfit or make-up look and recently I've found the perfect Autumn combo that I've been wearing pretty non-stop recently, so I thought I'd share it with you!

Autumn + Halloween Home Touches //

LIFESTYLE

Ok, so I'm kind've into decorating my house with seasonal touches, not gonna lie - I bloody lavv it. I'm pretty sure I did blog posts on all my Christmas and Easter decorations, and now that Autumn's rolled around, I'm excited to show you my Halloween picks!

Skincare Newbies // The Ordinary

BEAUTY

I've been meaning to try out some products from The Ordinary for such a long time, and around a month ago, I finally got round to placing an order on their website ~ I was pretty excited, let me tell you! They've only been around for just over a year, and in that time they've had A LOTT of positive press, mainly because they use such amazing, high quality ingredients in their products, but at a much more budget friendly price point.

A Hallway Re-Vamp //

LIFESTYLE

The little space under our stairs had been bugging me for ageees ~ the succulent I'd planted had died, I'd taken a print out of it's frame so that I could use the white border for something else and it had become a bit of a dumping ground for keys // coins // bit's of paper... basically it needed a re-vamp quick time. The only thing holding it somewhat together was my Swoon Editions cupboard, which I'm still so happy with!

An Autumn Outfit // Zara + Oasis

LIFESTYLE

Although I love dressing for summer weather with all the cute sandals, tee's + shorts, sometimes there's just nothing better than getting wrapped up in jumpers, boots + coats when Autumn rolls back around! There's always so many great options to choose from on the high street, so I thought I'd put together a post on some of the thing's I've been wearing pretty much non-stop the past few weeks.

Lush Halloween Picks //

BEAUTY

I've always loved Lush Halloween products, especially as they get released just when you start fancying having a warm bubble bath as the weather starts to get colder! This year is no different and I just had to treat myself to a few pieces, even if our bathroom is the least relaxing place to be at the moment as were in the process of getting it re-done!

3INA Beauty Bits //

BEAUTY

I've written a post on my love for pretty much everything I've tried from 3INA before here (their highlighter has become an every day staple of mine), so I was excited when I got sent a new package of goodies to try out with some of their recent product launches inside!

Visiting Baddesley Clinton // National Trust

PLACES

I feel like I've had the busiest couple of weeks, trying to organise my life and see friends & family, but sometimes it's nice just to have some time out and get back to nature a little bit. Dan and I have recently decided to become members of the National Trust (I know, I feel very grown up!) so whilst the weather was actually sunny for once, we thought we'd go exploring...

Worth The Hype? // Fenty Beauty

BEAUTY

Ok, I admit it, I got well and truly sucked in to buying a couple of products from the newly launched Fenty Beauty, Rihanna's make-up range ~ it all just looks so beautiful! ~ and I've been testing them both out over the last few days so I thought I'd add my thoughts into the sea of reviews out there already...

Looking Forward To... // Autumn Edition

LIFESTYLE

It's been ridiculously rainy these past few weeks in the UK and I've been feeling like all I want to do is hibernate and get cosy. Autumn is probably my favourite season and I'm excited to see the leaves change colour and to get all my warm jumpers out!

Discovering Missguided //

LIFESTYLE

Ok, so it's not like I'd never heard of the brand 'Missguided' before, it's just that I don't do too much online clothes shopping, and I'd never really even contemplated buying anything from them before now. I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised by their service and products (I don't know why I thought I wouldn't be ha!) that I thought I'd do a little blog post.

Bathroom Bit's & Bobs //

LIFESTYLE

I can't quite believe we've been putting off getting our bathroom done for over a year now! When we first moved in to our house we sort've prioritised all the other rooms with a hell of a lot of wallpaper stripping, painting and sanding going on, plus we pretty much spent the remainder of our money getting the kitchen done - ha! Fast forward a wee while and we've settled in and just lived with the bathroom, even if it has started to slowly break down on us (the toilet requires a fair bit of vigorous pumping in order to flush!). The end is finally in sight and we've started ordering everything ready for it to be fitted and of course I've been ordering all the accessories which I just had to show you!

Organising My Childhood Photo's //

LIFESTYLE

This has been the longest and most time consuming thing, but it's something I've been wanting to do for sooo long as I'm such a sentimental person, but at the same time I wanted everything to be organised and backed up too. I thought I'd write down my storage solutions and how I went about organising a hell of a lot of photo's, as well as my ideas for getting my faves framed and out for people to look at!

Zoella Beauty // Jelly & Gelato

BEAUTY

Every time there's a new launch from Zoella beauty or lifestyle I kind've want to get everythanggg. My bank balance kind've doesn't agree with me though (sadly!) so I just got three products that I know I'm going to get the most use out of as a little treat.

Three New Lush Products //

BEAUTY

So it feels like forever since I've written a Lush post, which is quite wierd for me being the self-confessed lush junkie and all! They've recently brought out quite a few nw products including some intriguing jelly masks (whattt?!) and I couldn't resist getting a few things to test out.

Testing Out New Make-Up // 3INA

BEAUTY

As your regular beauty junkie I'm always on the hunt for new brands and products to fall in love with (not that my bank balance likes it very much!). Recently the lovely people over at 3INA (pronounced mee-nah) sent me a few of their products to try and I think I've fallen slightly in love!

A Picnic + Mini Golf In The Sun //

LIFESTYLE

Ok so this was quite a while now, but it was a really nice day so I thought I'd still write up a blog post to remember it by. I've always dreamt of having my own picnic basket to take out on a summers day and fill with goodies so when I saw the perfect one in Homesense complete with plates, cutlery and plastic wine glasses I couldn't resist!

Refreshing Summer Spirits //

FOOD

I can't quite fathom why I never used to like gin. I think it might be because I'd always tried it with tonic, which is definitely something I think I'll always hate, but honestly, having gin in a cocktail is the most refreshing, summery drink!

Exploring Greece // Rhodes Island

PLACES

*Warning - this is a ridiculously picture heavy post!* Dan and I recently went on holiday abroad for the first time in two years - to say we were a little excited would be an understatement! We've been to Spain and Turkey quite a few times and wanted to go somewhere we hadn't really been before, so Greece it was...

Holiday Essentials // Part 2: Beauty

BEAUTY

Sorry this post is up a little later than I planned - I'm sitting down to write multiple posts today, trying to get myself motivated! This is the second part of my holiday essentials posts where I'm gonna be talking all thing summer skin and haircare related...
