This Autumn/Fall is such a busy time for fashion trends. There are just so many, making it easy to stay on trend but in your own way. Stand out trends are long coats, purple,gold, capes and feathers, plaid and preppy styles. Others have followed through from previous seasons and years even. Satin and 90's are still going strong. 70's and 80's are also starting to make an appearance. Micro Bags are here to stay apparently, and I love them! Cinching is big this season - grab a

I recently bought the Latest in Beauty Spring Heroes 2019 beauty box and two of the products included were the Noughty Intensive Care Leave-in Conditioner and Nexxus Nutritive Encapsulate Serum for dry and damaged hair. My hair is 100% dry and damaged as I have been colouring and bleaching it for quite a few years now. My usual go-to products to keep my hair in tip top condition are TIGI Honey and Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner (from £14.87 for the 750ml duo set available at

I usually get my brows tinted by a beauty therapist but I had weekend plans and didn’t have any time to get myself booked in. So decided to try the Maybelline Brow Tattoo. I was both nervous and skeptical – nervous because I thought the product might rip all my brow hairs out when I peeled off! And skeptical because I have very dark, almost black brows and I wasn’t sure if this product would even have a visible result. So step one – paint on to brows in desired shape. Leave f

If you know me you know I absolutely love ASOS! It truly is one of my favourite places to shop, there is just such a huge choice of items across so many categories - Clothes, Shoes, Beauty, Gifts, Home and more - that it is almost impossible not to fine at least one thing I like. I have a very long wish list on my account! ASOS are currently running an up to 50% off Sale (Limited time only, while stocks last. Selected items marked down on site. See site for full terms) and I

Wow, what an amazing holiday we had! California was just a dream. We went to so fab places and saw some amazing (I'm going to use that word a lot when talking about our holiday!) things. I will be posting a separate holiday blog! Coming home and back to reality was not nice. And let me tell you, the jet lag was real. Oh lord it has taken me almost a week to get back to normal. The jet lag while we were in America was bad for a couple of nights but nothing compared to back hom

I have been "holiday shopping" for a while now, but mainly because we are not going away until late August and for some reason shops clear out most of their summer clothes by July and start stocking their new A/W ranges. I am going to share my top picks that I have bought over the last few months, I will link where I can and if they are no longer available I will link similar items! One of my favourite outfits for this holiday is this rose gold pleated midi skirt from F&F pai

Up first is Emergen-C 1000mg Vitamin C Dietary Supplement. I usually get the packs that have orange and lemon sachets, you just empty a sachet in to a glass of water and drink! Not only do they taste great, but they really give a boost of energy. Well they do for me and my hubby. My sister also swears by these, and a former colleague. I buy them on www.amazon.co.uk, a pack of 24 on my last order was £12.99. But you can buy them on other sites and there are different flavours

I mentioned very briefly in my Holiday Essentials blog post that I suffer with pretty bad neck pain, which I have just this week found out is partly due to osteoarthritis in C5 and C6. Basically 2 vertebrae in my neck. It all started just under 11 years ago when I was in my car on my way to see my beautiful friend Sarah and her gorgeous baby Eva. I was travelling along the M25 in my trusty golf when I was hit by a lorry veering in to my lane! Luckily (?!) we were only doing a

I have recently been sorting through my make-up and replacing lots of items, and also trying out new skincare. This weekend I threw away 1 1/2 carrier bags of make-up, which was not easy! But some of it was pretty old and other things I don't use any more. Make-up remover was high on my list of new products to try, because I have been using face wipes and various Micellar waters but find neither one get my skin completely clean without going over and over and the wipes defini

Get yourself a cuppa and a biscuit or two for this one it's quite long! We’re off to California soon, did I already mention that?! 16 days and counting!! So as I mentioned in my Countdown to Cali post I recently did a huge order at www.Amazon.co.uk some of it absolutely necessary some of it not so much. I’m hoping the rest of my essentials turn up before we go, I do have Amazon Prime so most things have arrived already. These are the things I ordered: ~ Neutrogena Age Shield

I really do enjoy my food. I am not the type of person who would normally choose a salad over a burger. And crisps! Oh how I love crisps, I don't think I've met one I don't like! But I have paid the price for those decisions. My weight definitely isn't where I feel comfortable. I think I will blame that on my hubby! Its a classic case of being comfortable. When we met 6 years ago I had just gone through 18 months of getting healthy, fit and strong and making better decisions

I am writing this post with great excitement! We are soon off on our California Road Trip! We started planning this trip around 2 years ago, as we were originally going last year. But we had to move our wedding back by a year - to last year, more on this another time! So here we are with 20 days to go and the excitement is very high in this house! We are all in holiday mode already. Our Itinerary is: Fly to LAX then spend time in Los Angeles, Malibu, Santa Monica, Laguna and

Every week I will be sharing things I recommend, it could be make-up, home products, books, food, clothes, films, places to visit and more! First on my list this week is my Dyson Hairdryer. Now this is a pricey item but, in my opinion, totally worth the money. After heavy bleaching and using a very old hairdryer that was way too hot, my hair was pretty much unmanageable the ends were like cotton wool and i could barely get a brush through it. My old hairdryer was burning my h

How I am feeling about approaching this next milestone and what I am doing to (hopefully) slow down (beauty) time. I will be turning 40 in March 2020, and while that sounds like a date from a sci-fi movie it really isn’t that far away. In fact it’s just 19 months, 84 weeks, 586 days 14064 hours…..you get the idea! Until this year it hasn’t really been on my mind very much, and I don’t know why this has changed but it has and I still cannot believe I am not still in my 20’s! L
