Pebble Grey LED Cosmetic Mirror Review
Just a quick little review today of a lovely cosmetic mirror I was kindly sent to review. I do really appreciate when companies think my blog would be a good fit for their brand, I feel like I’ve come so far from the days when I’d struggle to have something to write because there would be so little going on in my life. Now I always feel like I have something to share with my readers whether it be a review, recipe or just a snippet from my life. Last night when I took part in the #lbloggers chat I was reminded of this. Today I’ve managed to post twice…

Outfit of the Day – Orange County Girl
As you’re aware, I’m not an Orange County girl, in fact I usually don’t like orange, but I do like terracotta or burnt orange. I’m picky like that! But anyway, I was just looking for some song lyrics with orange in when I came across this Gwen Stafani one and I just HAD to listen to her on Spotify. I love Gwen, and I love No Doubt. And so it was decided that this post would be called as such. Glamorous Lace Skater Dress (ancient), Thrifted Black 3/4 Length Sleeve Top £7.99, H&M Woodland Copse Floral Crown in Rust £15, Crown and Glory Belt (from another dress), Primark Black Tights…

February Reads
I’m quite impressed with how well I’m keeping up with this whole reading thing. Another four books read this year, that’s seven now and I’m almost finished The Great Gatsby so that’ll be eight, only two away from how many books I read in 2013. No wonder I made this unofficial resolutions to read more for 2014! The only problem is that now I feel the need to buy more books. My basket on Amazon is filled with bargain books from the marketplace (anyone else love that for cheap DVDs and books or is it just me?) My to read shelf is pretty full but every time I finish one…

Blogger Eating In Cook Off Challenge
When I was contacted asking if I’d like to take part in a Blogger Cook Off Challenge I jumped at the chance. I LOVE cook off challenges and this seemed right up my street. Anyway, for a bit of background information, the Kick My Habits research with Leeds Building Society shows that the average Brit spends £17.34 per week on eating out which racks up to an amazing £901.68! My challenge is to create a fun meal in for £10, saving myself £7.34 which over a year would mean an extra £382 in my pocket (to spend on other things of course!) Even though I have a kid and don’t…

Canvas Design Review*
Since getting my own place last July, I’ve been desperately trying to put my own stamp on it. This is the first house I’ve ever had that isn’t shared with flatmates or a guy so everything I choose to have, is my decision. It’s been an exciting journey that is by no means over, I still have carpets i’d like to replace, walls to paint and furniture to buy. But my favourite part is the personal touches. I love picking out photo frames, art for the walls, vases and ornaments, it’s the bits like that that really make the place yours. So when the chance came up to have one…
