Love them or loathe them, there’s no denying that the Christmas sales are a great time to pick up a few bargains. If you can bare the madness of frantic shoppers everywhere, bumper to bumper traffic within a 5 mile radius of shopping centres and the less-than-enthusiastic retail staff (I’ve been there, I understand your […]

It’s a poorly-kept secret that I love Christmas from having the chance to catch up with friends and family, to drinking and eating LOADS! I’m that annoying person we all know that’s wearing Christmas jumpers, that dresses my dogs up in Christmas jumpers (all 3 of them have their own!) and that’s just generally mildly obsessed with […]

Nothing makes me happier than buying new makeup that I absolutely don’t need but there is nothing worse than having to buy a new foundation, powder or mascara a couple of weeks before payday. With Christmas around the corner, we’re all going to be counting the pennies to save up for Christmas presents and outfits […]

In case you didn’t know, I love make up! Most girls do. And like some of you (maybe a lot of you), I lack the willpower and restraint to stop myself from buying more and more. Standing at beauty counters, I can think of half a dozen reasons I need another red lipstick or a […]
Well hello there! It’s been a while since our last post. Our weekend in Paris was amazing and SO busy – we’re both still catching up on sleep and getting back to normal! Claire has been to Paris a number of times, but for me, this was my first trip and boy, did it exceed […]
