A Beauty Declutter & New Additions
September is a month of decluttering for me. I've already tackled my wardrobe so it was time to have a go at my beauty stash. Writing about beauty means I'm incredibly fortunate to be sent products to consider for review so things mount up and it's all too easy for them to get out of hand. So I got to work at not only decluttering and simplifying my beauty collection but making room for some new additions as well as giving everything a thorough clean.
5 Podcast Episodes To Inspire You For The Week

I've rounded 5 of the most inspiring podcasts I've listened to in recent months and I hope that they inspire your week ahead.

Being An Introverted & Shy Blogger
In the past, I've spoken quite a lot about being an introvert and being shy [the two don't always go hand in hand]. But it's not something that I've ever seen properly discussed when it comes to blogging. For a lot of people who are shy and introverted, they seek comfort online but it's not always the case and here's how I deal with being an introverted & shy blogger in a very busy online world.
A Beauty Topic To Sink Your Teeth Into
Weirdly, teeth are a topic that it rarely spoken about in the beauty world. Which is surprising really when it's such a huge industry and there is so much pressure to have perfectly straight white teeth. In the past few years, I've really pushed myself to take better care of my teeth and my oral hygiene in general and here are a few of my favourite products to use.
How To Be Your Own Motivation & Inspiration
Something I'm guilty of is waiting for inspiration and motivation to magically arrive. And in the past, I've written posts all about finding inspiration in so many different ways and from various sources. But not once have I spoken about how you can be your own inspiration and motivation. We all have things in our life that make us feel like we can take on anything that comes our way and that's awesome but here are a few ways that you can do those things yourself without relying on anything or anyone else.
The Best Things I've Learned From Beauty Bloggers
Beauty bloggers come under a lot of flack from pretty much everyone. Sometimes it's even from our own community which always hurts just that little bit more. And it's not just because I'm a blogger myself but long before I was writing my own content. I read predominantly beauty blogs and I owe so much to them, I've learnt so much from those girls sharing their thoughts on products and I'm going to share some of my favourite lessons I've taken away from beauty bloggers.
5 Ways To Reset For September & The Rest Of 2016
Like many people, September always feels a complete reboot for me. It's probably due to 18 or so years in the education system but it's always such a refreshing time of year and weirdly feels much more like a new year than January 1st ever does. There are a few things that I always like to make sure that I do around this season to get myself geared up for the rest of the year and I'm excited to share them with you today.
Beauty Faux Pas
When reading beauty blogs it's all too easy to presume that the people writing them apply their makeup perfectly every day and never have never made a beauty faux pas in their life. After a look through my hard drive and reminiscing about what makeup trends, I've lived through. I thought I'd share with you some of the worst makeup mistakes I've personally made.
