Handbag Essentials

I'm sure we all have them, a selection of things that our handbags are incomplete without. These handbag essentials aren't things like my phone and keys, those are pretty key to anyone, but things that during the day I'll be pleased I remember to grab that morning.



Letting It Out Doesn't Have To Leave A Scar | Self Harm Alternatives

When you don't know how to deal with your feelings other than hurting yourself, it can feel like you're the one in control, after all you're making all the choices right? Wrong. It may feel like that at first, but it becomes an addiction that often spirals out of control until it feels like there is no alternative. I've come up with a list of 15 alternatives that have helped and continue to help me avoid harming myself, they are really good at controlling and letting go of emotions without hurting yourself.

Nude Eyes and Lips Make Up


It's no lie that I love a nude eye make up combined with nude lips, but I've recently discovered some new combinations that I think look really pretty and are subtle enough for everyday, but can be made more smoky for nights out.



Friday Favourites #2

I'm back with another Friday Favourites post to share five things I've been loving this week.




Beaching in Ibiza | Travel

Last week I went on a fairly spontaneous trip to Ibiza with my friend Meg. When I say spontaneous, I mean that week booked it a couple of weeks before because we both fancied a little beach get away, and Ibiza was the cheapest. We both loved the trip; gorgeous beaches with the most beautifully clear water and sunshine all day long - what's not to like?! The hotel we stayed in was in San Antonio Bay, on the West Coast of the island. Because I loved it so much, I thought I'd share a few holiday snaps.

Dealing With Anxiety | Mental Health

Anxiety is a difficult thing to deal with, mostly because it can be difficult to know how to talk to people about it, and also because to help anxiety going into anxiety inducing situations can be the best thing.



Inside My Holiday Make Up Bag

On Monday I setted off for a little 'mini break' holiday in Ibiza, and I thought I'd share what make up supplies I brought with me. Whilst I don't think I'll be wearing much more than just a touch of mascara and my eyebrows filled in, I brought some extras for the evenings. We're only taking hand luggage so obviously I'm slightly limited on what liquids I can take, however I think for a relaxing holiday with my friend this is the perfect amount.

The Me Time Tag

Everyone loves a little pamper time, at towards the end of last year I loved watching the Me Time tag videos that were floating around YouTube, and thought why not use the same questions in a blog post. I think it was Essie Button who came up with the idea behind the tag and the questions, and I'm seriously in love with her videos! So here's my me time tag, ahead of some serious Sunday pampering!




Summer Time Polishes





I love painting my nails all year round, but I love the summer and changing between pastel and brighter colours.

Reading Habits Book Tag | Lifestyle

I haven't technically been tagged to this, but I can still do it right...? I saw the tag on this blog and thought it would be a fun little post to write. Plus I love reading and watching tags because I'm so darn nosey!



Recipe | Brunch Pancakes

These pancakes of course aren't limited to brunch, but who doesn't love a pancake based brunch? In fact who doesn't love brunch? Be it a weekday or the weekend, brunch is my favourite meal and more often than not, pancakes are a go to of mine. These American style fluffy pancakes are delicious, easy to make and the batter lasts for a couple of days in the fridge so you can have pancake mix at the ready!


Review | Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter



It's no secret that lots of YouTubers have been releasing books recently, and admittedly I haven't picked up any other for more than a quick flick through in a shop, I couldn't miss this one. Louise was the first YouTuber I really watched and the first blog I ever read.

Why University Was the Right Choice For Me | Lifestyle

Ever since I was little, I've always wanted to go to university. It wasn't that my parents were pressuring me because they'd got degrees and thought that you can't succeed without one, it was purely my choice. In fact neither of my parents went to university, and through school they would want me to just focus on one stage at a time. For me university was just the obvious choice, and only choice. When it came to actually really needing to think about going to university or finding work, there was nothing that I wanted to do more than leave home and study for a degree
