25 Before 25 – Did I Do It?

You may remember that during last years Blogmas I set myself a challenge of achieving 25 goals before my 25th birthday. So, here’s a little run down of what I’ve been up to this past year to achieve my goals!

Baking Gingerbread Men

Today is Elf Day, a fundraising day created by the Alzheimer’s Society. For the occasion I baked some festive gingerbread men to take round to my work colleagues whilst donning an elf hat! The recipe is so easy to follow and makes some super tasty gingerbread men!

Quick and Easy Make Up Look

We’ve all been in the situation where you have hardly any time to get ready and you want to look like you’ve made an effort and look your best. I recently popped together a simple but effective make up look that should mean you’re ready in no time at all and it even includes a soft and subtle smokey eye!

What I Wore Wednesday – BeautyCon

On Saturday I had a last minute opportunity to attend BeautyCon London with the lovely Michelle from Black Girls Blush. We spent our day there looking around the different brands, listening to some of the talks and even meeting Patricia Bright and Sammi Maria! We had such a fun day so what better way to start my What I Wore Wednesdays than with what I wore to BeautyCon!

Christmas Tag

What’s a Blogmas series without at least one tag?! I saw this tag doing the rounds for Blogmas and thought I would tag myself as part of my Blogmas series.

Gifting for Him with Clinique

When it comes to buying gifts for my dad or brothers I often struggle. But this year I found a gift set from Clinique that’s an all round winner in my eyes!

Evening Skincare Routine

Last year I shared a winter skincare routine as part of my Blogmas posts. A year on and I’ve definitely changed my routine up – for the better! One product however has remained constant and there are plenty of good reasons as to why.

Christmas Gift Set Review – Origins ‘Let Us Glow’

If you know someone that uses the Ginzing range from Origins you can’t go wrong with getting them the Let Us Glow gift set which retails for £29. This set is also perfect to buy for someone to try the range. It’s suited to dull, tired and dry skins and aims to brighten and refresh the skin.

Charlotte Tilbury ‘Quick ‘n’ Easy Make Up Set

I have wanted to try Charlotte Tilbury for some time. However, I don’t have a store that sells Charlotte Tilbury near to where I live so have never been able to swatch the products. I like to be able to swatch before I buy as you can never be too sure of the quality or the colour pay off without trying. Whilst I was visiting Bicester Village (which I wrote about in my last post) I came across a Charlotte Tilbury pop up boutique.

Feeling Spendy at Bicester Village

For a number of years Bicester Village has been a favourite place to shop for my Dad. It has also become one of my favourite places to visit with him and not necessarily to buy extravagant purchases every time but even just to have a mooch around the shops. I recently visited Bicester Village following an extension and I have to say, it has only got better!
