Why 27 Has Been My Favourite Age & Why I'm Excited For 28
In just over a week or so I will be turning 28. How I'm approaching 30 at such a rapid rate is terrifying even though I am looking forward to it. And whenever my birthday rolls around I always feel quite reflective of the past 12 months and as 27 was such a life-changing year for me I knew I wanted to write a post like this and look back on everything that happened, the good and the bad.
A New Base Duo That Gives A Full Coverage Glow
We all know by now that I have a serious penchant for a full coverage foundation and it will always be my favourite product to road test with the hopes I'll find something new. And this season is always a good time to test things out because one day it might be 26 degrees and then the next day it could be a measly 4, ah the joy of British springtime. So it really puts any base products through the ringer and here are a couple of items that I've thoroughly enjoyed using lately.
5 Things I've Stopped Caring & Worrying About
Last week I put out a tweet along the lines of not feeling mentally low, not being far too anxious I'm worried about going on a dog walk and my OCD is the best it's been in months maybe even years. So I thought today I'd share some of the things that I've stopped worrying about so much lately and in general. I've certainly noticed that since I've got older that the things I use my mental energy on has changed so much and it's a welcome change from what I used to be like in my early twenties. So here are five of the things that I've stopped worrying and caring about so much...

3 Palettes That Are Worth The Makeup Bag Real Estate
If there is one thing that the blogging world really loves, it's palettes. And personally, whilst I have enjoyed many a palette in my time I've never had the urge to rush out and buy any new releases for the simple fact..I don't get the hype. For me, I need something that I can really get a good amount of use from, not just a couple of shades here and there as it is far too wasteful for my liking. And you can more than likely find similar shades in single form if you're really that drawn to them. So with such a strict criteria when it comes to palettes you know they have to be good to make the cut in my beauty stash and take up that much valuable beauty real estate. And here are the ones that do that...

7 Awesome Things From April
Well, April was not the month I had expected at all but it was a really lovely 30 days. And it seemed to last forever and go by at the speed of light all at the same time, which is I guess is the best thing really as I hate when the months just whizz by. We had a lot of rain and a little mini-heatwave which let's face it may well be our British summer and here are all the awesome things that happened in April.
S/S Capsule Wardrobe Plans
Yes, it's spring and yes the weather is pretty abysmal right now and yes it really is putting a dampener on my spring spirits but I've waited weeks to be able to write this post and I cannot wait any longer. It's been a good while since I discussed the whole capsule wardrobe thing. But I've still been maintaining my version of it and I've been so excited to make some changes to my style options as quite frankly I've had enough of winter layers and need to know that I might be able to wear my beautiful midi dresses for more than one day a month. So here is everything I'm changing up for S/S from the clothes I want to purchase to what I'll be keeping my rail from A/W and finally a new clothing rail I'm obsessed with.
Beauty Prep To Feel My Best For Bare Limb Weather
Although I wait and pray for the warmer seasons to roll around as I become so miserable in A/W something I always get slightly nervous about is bearing my limbs to the world. Body confidence is certainly not something that I exude and feel way more comfortable in my winter layers but I long for warm weather dressing because a good midi dress is my most prized wardrobe piece. A catch 22 right? Can anybody else relate? This year I'm on the quest to make sure that I really feel my best when shedding my winter layers and here are the things that I'm planning on doing to hopefully feel more confident than ever...
