One of the things I was lucky enough to get for Christmas was a subscription to Reading in Heels from P. I’d been feeling a bit stuck in a rut with my GlossyBox subscription and I was looking for something new, something that suited me better. He found this service and asked if I was… Continue reading Reading in Heels
I think I was in an airport, of all places, when I first spotted that Chanel had released a new fragrance. Airport or not, I’m certain that the first thing I did was wander over to try it on. Because how could you not? FYI, Gabrielle was Coco’s real name. I’ve always been a bit… Continue reading Product review: Chanel Gabrielle
Seems to be I’m always getting spoiled way more than I deserve and Christmas is no exception to that. So I thought I’d use this post to express my gratitude for all the lovely things I recently recieved. Christmas gift-giving was a little split up this year. I swapped gifts with a few friends fairly… Continue reading Christmas pressies

Why is this month’s unboxing so late? Well, the box only arrived last weekend but I was out when it was being delive1red so then I had to go get it from the post office. Seriously, when I grow up and own my own home I’m going to install the world’s biggest secure parcel box so… Continue reading Glossybox November unboxing
Recent empties is a semi-regular feature in the blog wherein I write about cosmetic goodies that sadly (or something, less sadly) have run out. I hate waste, even when it comes to cosmetics and beauty products, so I do my best to use every last drop of the products I acquire (unless they’re completely awful, looking… Continue reading Recent empties
Way back at the beginning of 2016 I wrote two pieces called Paraben free and Sulphate free. I always meant to write this third piece, Phthalate free but somehow got distracted and it’s only recently occurred to me that I never got around to it. So, here we go. Phthalate free is a label that… Continue reading Pthalate free?
This month its been hard to find new things to try. October has kind of run away with me and I think in general, this part of the year is one I struggle with. I definitely don’t suffer from SAD but I do find myself getting more tired at this time of year as the… Continue reading New things I tried in October ’17
