London Retro Jubilee Frames Review
I don’t know how many of you know that I need glasses.. well just in case you didn’t know, this is me telling you I do. I’m short sighted, meaning objects in the distance appear blurred, this is getting progressively worse to the point I have to go over to the TV to see the Sky listings or if I try and read road signs I give myself a headache. As being short sighted isn’t something that happens with age, it’s either genetic or environment. My dad even at 52 still had perfect vision and my mother is long sighted so the optician has suggested the problems with my vision…

Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream Review
I am so tired tonight as I really struggled to sleep last night for one reason or another, but as usual I still felt the need to blog. I don’t know how many of you saw my Biotherm Blue Therapy Serum-In-Oil review the other day, but I mentioned that it wasn’t solely responsible for my skins dramatic improvement and by dramatic improvement I don’t mean spots, I mean the fact I no longer look like a member of the cast of The Walking Dead. Tonight I’m reviewing the other product that I now can no longer live without, Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective cream* Since my Kiehl’s skincare consultation at the Nottingham…

Does A Stitch In Time Really Save Nine? *
It’s come to that time of year again where people start thinking about Halloween costumes, for me it’s been a long time since I personally had to think of my own Halloween costume. Last year I had Little Miss who was dressed as a very cute make shift pumpkin fairy, the year before I was heavily pregnant. Before that I went through a phase of following the Mean Girls “slut” rule, back then I very much had the body for it so it’s been quite a while since I dressed up for Halloween in more than a pair of animal ears from Claires. Thankfully I didn’t have to really put…

#218 Biotherm Blue Therapy Night Serum-In-Oil Review
These days I feel there is so much more emphasis on using anti aging products from a young age but I have to admit I never even considered it until I started blogging last year. I think the main reason for this is because my mum doesn’t, she swears only by Nivea Soft and Johnsons Clean & Clear. That is the extend of her beauty regime and I have to admit, she doesn’t look bad for 52. Unfortunately, since becoming a single parent, or simply a parent, I have noticed that I look tired all the time, actually the only word to describe how I look when I don’t have…

Easy King Prawn Spaghetti Recipe
This weeks recipe is one of my favourite quick easy meals, although it’s not exactly that cheap as king prawns are quite expensive, but when I made this last week I’d picked these prawns up for £1.99 as they were reduced. They were fresh and I had originally decided to freeze them but then when time wasn’t on my side I used them to rustle up a tasty, filling and very quick dinner for myself. I love king prawns so much, I love them in Chinese food, Thai food, in a creamy garlic sauce with fresh bread a la Bee, but I love them most in pasta or risotto dishes.…

#215 Shopping Spotlight – Bits and Bows Boutique
WARNING, this is an outfit post.. and we all know how dreadful I look in outfit posts. I really can’t decide if it’s because my camera is rubbish, my tripod isn’t tall enough, I have no good lights, I’m rubbish or I’m just not photogenic. But anyway, here are some rubbish photos as ever. In January I am going to take a proper camera course and hopefully by then I’ll be able to afford a DSLR to take with my to class. But for today… I have more photos that do not justify the lovely dress. The outfit is completely Jess Day of New Girl inspired, as I’m currently addicted…
