Sanctuary Spa Hand Cream

This is a hand cream post written by an outdoors-y person. Dog walking, horse owner, manual labour kind of person. Oh, and I get really annoyed by gloves when I have to do things. Result? Ridiculously dry hands. So when Boots had their 3 for 2 deal on, I knew it was the perfect time to try out some hand creams. One of which is this little...

My honest opinion of Christmas

At this time of year, I would be called a Scrooge. Or a misery guts. The truth is, I don't enjoy Christmas. I used to ADORE Christmas, I loved the excitement of the lights, the tree, the food, the presents...but then one year it just disappeared. My spirit had gone. Now this kinda sounds like a kids story about the quest to find my "spirit"....

No. 7 Goodies

The original post is here. Obviously she picked out the bits that she wanted(!) and gave the rest to me to try. Now...

Best of 2012 JolieBox

I have never had a JolieBox. I also have never had a subscription to any beauty boxes, mostly because I have a limited income and I would want to guarantee a decent box for my money! However when I noticed this best of 2012 box online, for £20.00, I couldn't say no. If anything, I can say that it was an early gift, spent with my Christmas...

Nails of the Day #4

Now this is a typical winter colour for me! Always Bon Jovi inspired.  (Accidental music pun there for you Bon Jovi fans!) Rimmel London's 60 Seconds - Rapid Ruby For me, this is my favourite kind of red nails. Bright in the morning, darker by the evening. The formula for this polish is fantastic; it truly does dry in 60...

My Haircare Routine

Many years I have spent trying to figure out what products are best for my hair. I have also spent years trying to get my hair to a place where I am happy with it too! Currently I am content with my hairstyle. It is long and naturally dead straight. It is a mousey brown; in the summer it gets blonder and much darker in the winter. However...

Nails of the Day #3

Today's nails are painted terribly, I must apologise. But I think the gorgeous colour makes it forgiveable! OPI - Unripened This is a very dark, glittering green colour from OPI's Goth collection. I adore this colour! It is a shame that I am so terrible at painting my fingernails with miniature bottles; my toes always look better!...

Nails of the Day #2

How festive is this colour?! I usually wear darker, bloodier coloured reds on my nails, but this bright red had to be purchased. I'd like to say it is more of a Ducati red.  Models Own - Red Alert I might try this colour again in a few days with a glittery top coat. When I was about to paint them last night, I found a...
