8 Nail Polishes Shades That Are Flattering On Pale Skin

Despite recent photographs of myself where it would seem I have clung onto my summer tan extremely well. In the harsh daylight, I'm very fair skinned. And besides finding a foundation that suits my snow white complexion perfectly I find that finding a nail polish shade that's really flattering on my pale hands can be difficult. So often nudes can make me look like I'm not too well and anything too bright and brash is horribly unflattering. So if you find yourself having the same issues, here are a few of my favourite shades to slick on my nails in the really cold months that make my hands look healthy.

The Planner That Changed Everything & Made Me A Lot More Productive

Buying new stationery pieces is definitely not something that I need to be doing, I own an abundance of notepads that will probably see me through the next 10 years of my life.

I  didn't pick up this mint cream dream from the Urban Outfitters sale until a few days into 2017 and upon first use, I knew it was going to change the way I worked and it only took a few days for it give me the productive kick up the bum that I needed. So here's a little tour of how I use it and why it makes for the perfect everyday work tool.

A Few Things To Do After You Have A Big Clear Out

The blogging world is full of people completely changing the way they live at the moment and there isn't a day goes by that someone isn't clearing out their beauty stash or wardrobe. And whilst I love those posts and have done my own in the past sometimes they're not always that useful about telling you what to do with the things that you're going to clear out. Because having the clearout is the fun part and the bit that feels awesome but then when you're left with a tonne of stuff and it's not always that fun to try and figure out what to do with it. So here are few ideas of what to do with the things that you might have cleared out;

The A-Z Of Awesome Beauty Products

How I Create Content - From Pictures To Writing

A few years ago I shared my blogging process but so much has changed in that time that I thought it might be interesting to give you an insight if it's something that you've ever wondered about.

So from the very beginning stages of an idea to the final product, here is a look at my current blogging process.

7 Of The Best Style Investments I've Ever Made

In the past, I've spoken a lot about the best beauty investments that I've made but I don't think I've shared my favourite style pieces that I've purchased. And the whole thing about investments, in any area of your life is that it's very personal and we all work with different budgets. For me, anything from £30-£150 is what I consider an investment piece but it varies so much from person to person. So here are some of the best ones that I've made over the years, some are pieces that have stood the test of time and some are new additions.
