On my recent trip to London I ventured in to the Pixi shop near Carnaby street and was recommended these two rose products. The Rose Caviar Essence and the Rose Flash Balm. Pixi as a brand has impressed me as far as skincare, everything I have tried, the glow tonic (just a small sample) and the Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse, definitely peaked my interest in the brand. I was after…

Beauty Bargains and Hidden Gems with Chemist 4 U

I am turning 37 tomorrow and it means I have 3 years till I am 40 which is actually really on my mind. I think I want to make sure that by the time I…

#BlogAtTheBeach Event with IceLolly – Round up
It’s not often that events happen up north so when the lovely Hayley at IceLolly sent a tweet out asking if anyone was free to go to an event in Leeds I jumped at the chance. As you know I am a Hobby Blogger, I do this outside of my current permanent job so I don’t get to go to many events so having opportunities like this is rare and…

Lola Rose Portabello Bracelet (GIVEAWAY)
Lola Rose Jewellery has always been on my wishlist so when I was asked to feature the Portabello bracelet and to give one away I was so excited. If you haven’t heard of Lola Rose they are stocked through Very and other stockists and are the brain child of Nikki Gewirtz who, at 30, received a piece of jewellery that invoked a sense of nostalgia and also helped her make…

Simply Scrub Rose and Soursop Review
I was recently asked to try some lovely organic scrubs from Simply Scrub recently and with it being that time of year that my skin needs that bit ‘extra’ care I was excited to give them a go. They came really quickly even though they were sent from the States and they are packaged really nicely in plastic jars with a screw top lid. You can also get packets like…

Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream Review
Bum Bum cream (pronounced Boom Boom, apparently) is a much hyped product from Sol De Janeiro. This is an American based company (although it says it’s Brazilian…) who produce this product and I have heard so many people talk about it on their YouTube videos. The price so far has put me off the product but I saw this duo travel set on Cult Beauty which has a 75ml body…
