NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette (Smokey) – A Review
A couple of weeks ago, I finally decided to pick one of these palettes up. It's not often that I get to look at NYX make-up since I live in a tiny little town with no NYX counter within about 40 miles, so I'll always do a nice haul whenever I come across one! As… Continue reading NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette (Smokey) – A Review

As mention previously in my first Lake District post (which is all about Skiddaw if you're interested), this August, we decided to complete the three-hour journey up to the Lake District, to a small market town nestled in the northwest of the Lakes called Keswick. When planning our trip, the whole idea was that we were… Continue reading A day in the Lake District: Red Pike

If you haven't yet come across IPL devices, here is a quick explanation by SmoothSkin themselves: Now, back… Continue reading SmoothSkin Bare: Are IPL devices just a fad?
Grenade Product Reviews
Last week, I was lucky enough to be sent a bundle of Grenade goodies to try and test out. I'd always seen Grenade products sitting in fitness shops in their colour-popping wrapping and delicious sounding flavours, but had never got around to buying any, hence why I was beyond excited to receive this delivery!

My September Fitness Goals
How on earth has another month gone by already? Over the past two months I've pretty much lacked fitness motivation. I've been going to the gym, but my heart certainly wasn't in it and thus I haven't exactly managed to progress at all.
