After trying many options, I end up leaving them well alone.  My trouble:  Painting them is a pain, it's never long lasting and takes up so much time. Nail extensions become expensive if you keep having infills, and nail beds can get ruined. Do-it-at-home fake nails are the MOST...

When I say "your skin" what comes to mind? If it's something positive, lucky you!  Without knowing how to work with, and get our skin to it's best possible condition, many of us can easily pick faults in our own skin. I for one still do this from time to time, but after finding ways to look after and treat my skin better...

Cancer is a word that sits very heavily on my heart, just as I'm sure it does many of yours. When anyone hears a mention of the big "C", negativity surrounding the word rushes to their minds, or has done at one point.

Unlike a large portion of beauty bloggers, I am not an owner of MUJI plastic makeup storage or the MALM drawers from IKEA. Instead, I use the top (and smallest) drawer in my my chest of drawers to store my makeup. The drawer is a lovely size for the amount I need to store in it, and gives me enough space to use...

ASOS Skater Dress In Floral Print With Button Off Skirt In the Januray ASOS SALE I ordered this dress for only £12!! At first look, I was unsure of the print, but when it arrived I loved it!

So, I was nominated by the very lovely Kate from Talking Transplants to take part in the Liebster Award. This is an award that gives recognition to those smaller blogs (under 200 followers)*.

Earlier on this month I stumbled across a blog called Fill My Little World and after reading one of her taking stock posts, I completely fell in love with the idea of 'taking stock' myself. If you want to find out where Bee first found Taking Stock posts then read her first one here. I've left some out though, and may add some in. ...

I'm actually posting a favourites post, can you believe it? This month (the past couple of months actually) I haven't been very well and most days, the thought of putting make-up on or doing my hair, whilst trying out new products, has not been a pleasing one. Therefore, my Loves of Last Month are mostly non-beauty ones!...            ...

Personally, I know that...
