Cupcakes are great; they look cute, minimal skill needed to bake them, and you get to eat a whole cake. These strawberry and vanilla cupcakes not only look cute, but they're so tasty too.

Normally I'm quite picky about foundations; I find it really tricky to find a shade that matches my skin tone, I like quite a medium coverage without feeling to heavy and not to mention the struggle of having an oily t-zone! A while back I thought I'd give the Max Factor 3-in-1 foundation a go. I hadn't really heard too much about this foundation, but the shade match was perfect and the bottle said all day flawless which pretty much sealed the deal. Because of how picky I am, first impressions are key to me, and spoiler I love this foundation!

Giving myself a little manicure is a weekly essential. I love taking the time to catch up on YouTube or TV, and paint my nails.

I've put together some of my manicure favourites that I reach for regularly when doing my nails.

Sometimes life doesn't go exactly how you planned, even if it's just one day it can feel like the end of the world. I know that 9 times out of 10 I just want to get on with whatever I've gotta do that day without something that's out of my control going wrong. Over the years I've developed a few hints and tips to remind myself of for when it all goes wrong, so I thought I'd share them with you.

This was going to be a 5 product face look, but I just couldn't it. Missing out products just didn't feel right, nor did it look right. So here is my minimal makeup look, perfect for when I'm in a rush, don't feel like wearing much makeup and for those days where I need to look together but only have 15 minutes to leave the house.

A couple of weeks ago it was was #RandomActsOfKindness day over on Twitter, and super generously Fiorelli selected me to receive a handbag of my choice completely free of charge. Of course I was delighted, handbags are my thing and the Fiorelli offerings are simply beautiful. I opted for the Mia Grab bag in tan, and I'm in love.
