Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Lip Pencil in Ozone Review
Welcome to my first beauty review of 2014! As I mentioned back in my Public Service Announcement of Sorts post way back in September, I’m going to try and do at least one review a week. This helps me keep on top of all the awesome (or not so awesome) products I want to share with you. Today I’m talking about the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide of Lip Pencil in Ozone. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil in Ozone RRP £13, Debenhams I have always been an advocate of wearing lip liner with lipstick. It really helps limit feathering, makes your lips look fuller and acts as…

De-Stressing Sunday
I never edit my photos in such a way, filters just don’t feel very honest. However, since i’m not reviewing anything or showing anything off, I thought i’d stick a filter on these photos as it sort of reflects the kind of day I’ve had. As I mentioned in my new years post, I want to try and get on top of my insomnia and anxiety. As of yet, this hasn’t happened in the slightest. In fact, since the new year began it’s been getting worse. Last night I had an early night planned but when I went to bed I couldn’t sleep until 4am.. and then I had two…

Recipe No. 20 Fresh Cream Victoria Sandwich
Due to Christmas, it’s been a while since I’ve shared a recipe on the blog so I thought I’d do one today. My all time favourite cake is a fresh cream Victoria sandwich. In my last month of pregnancy I was eating these daily, not a whole one but definitely at least half a cake a day. By that point I was in no state to attempt to make my own so I’d usually take a walk to Tesco to buy one. Late last year I decided I was going to perfect a Victoria Sandwich and after a few attempts I managed it. My recipe is a version of the…

The Geeky Side of Me
I’ve toyed with the idea of doing a blog post like this, but I haven’t had anything good enough to have as a focal point of it. I really enjoyed Kirsty’s blog post about her love for Doctor Who, and Rhiannon’s various geeky posts about playing Warcraft among other things. Although I’m not a fan of either, they were both brilliant reads. Anyway, I’m not a geek in the regular sense of the word, my geekiness mainly resolves around books, Disney, fairytales and fantasy. Included in the fantasy bracket is of course Harry Potter. I mean what fantasy fan doesn’t like Harry Potter? I have liked, no loved Harry Potter…

Outfit of the Day – Believing Is Just The Beginning
One of my more blog related resolutions was to post more outfit and fashion related posts. Fashion so far on the blog has mainly consisted of wishlists and style icons rather than focusing on my own personal style which was something I had wanted to focus on when I started Cocktails in Teacups. Now that I have my own home again and I have somewhere with half decent light to take photos, even if it is the kitchen, I have no excuse really not to do outfit posts. Well apart from the days I have crippling low self esteem, which sadly still happens on more days than I would like.…

Hello 2014
Credit We’re now on the other side of the new year and if like me, you suffer from anxiety, you know the new year will look like a big black hole. I saw the new year in on my own and although it wasn’t by far the worst new year I’ve ever had, it wasn’t pleasant. I ended up having a panic attack before going to sleep. It was awful. And that’s when I decided things have to change. I know a lot of people don’t like the whole “new year, new me” thing. But in my case, things have to change to give me a better value of life.…
