2016 As My Teacher // Lifestyle

2016 15:33
Hey cats! Today I just wanted to do a little bit of a reflective and rambling post for myself looking back at what 2016 has taught me; I feel like for many people this hasn't been the best of years and that is certainly the case for me but within all that negativity are very positive lessons to carry forward. For those I...

My Make-up Brush Collection & Cleaner // CF Beauty

beauty 11:15
Hey cats!  Today I wanted to share with you my make-up brush collection; it's taken me a long time to find what brushes work well for me and suit the make-up I choose to wear so why not give it a little love?! Now I don't often use brushes for the purpose they're marketed for but there's nothing wrong with that at all,...

baby dreads 11:00
Cats. Doomsday is upon me. I'm so excited and also terrified. I've waited 2 weeks for this... who'd have thought washing your hair would become such a big deal?! Love a bit of melodrama, any who on with the usual shenanigans! I'm going to cover how I washed them, what I used, how I dried them and also what my dreads were like...

conscious collection 11:00
Hey cats! Recently I've really been getting into the colour orange and just at the right time I saw these gorgeous pants in the H&M conscious collection and absolutely had to have them! I love the ethnic vibe mixed with a modern, geometric print and I feel the colours really compliment this pattern. Albeit I'm short (5ft to be exact), because these pants...

Reflective Writing - Rushing // Personal

anxiety 11:30
Hey cats! I've been a bit swamped lately and experienced a few setbacks in different areas of my life so naturally my blog has suffered a tad. I wanted to share another piece of reflective writing with you because I feel right now it's striking a chord with me and couldn't be more significant. It's amazing how sometimes you can come so far...

The Autumn Tag // Lifestyle

autumn 12:30
Hey cats! Okay yes I know, talk about jumping on the bandwagon here but in fairness I said I was trying to get into the spirit of Autumn so I figured what better way now that we're in the thick of it to do a nice Autumn Tag (find it here).  1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I'm an old-fashioned,...

Hey cats! Here's the next instalment of my Dread Diaries and how I found my first two weeks, up until the point of washing... First Day Thoughts  The length is a shock after having longer hair but I like it & I'm happy to have shorter hair again  Being sideshow bob is annoying as hell and isn't my most attractive look  But they...

Hey cats! Here's a quick little tag post that I saw and thought was a brilliant thing to do! This tag was created by Liv over at Life Unscripted which I thought was an amazing idea to get people involved in, then I saw Steph's version of the tag over at Steph's World and both ladies did such a fab job so hopefully I can add...

Hey cats! You may have seen lately that there's been a bit of a boom on the alternate therapy side of things; a big part of the hype has been around Himalayan salt lamps and all the benefits of having one so naturally I wanted to test this out, especially since I've been eyeing up one of these bad boys for a while!...

Autumn Goals & Hometown Hunt // Lifestyle

anxiety 16:44
Hey cats! So here we are in Autumn and the last thing I thought I'd be doing is writing an Autumn themed post or be feeling even remotely excited for Autumn. There is reason for my usual pessimism at this time of year as I suffer from depression & anxiety, so the lack of light makes these much worse, plus my birthday is...
