The Secret Diary of an Insomniac
Credit I’m writing this at 6:12am, and I haven’t been to sleep yet. This is bad, even for me. I feel ill because I’m so tired, you know.. sick, shakey, yet my brain.. no matter what I do.. will not shut off. This is a common thing for me. So many nights do I lie awake willing my brain to just stop whizzing and whirling around so I can simply catch a few hours sleep. It’s usually worse after a few good nights of sleep, I managed three this week and now I’m paying for it with one night where it appears that I won’t be sleeping at all. I…

Outfit of the Day – I’m Not a Princess, This Ain’t a Fairy Tale
Last night I surpassed 100,000 views on my blog. What an achievement! I couldn’t believe it when I logged in this morning to start this post and I was over the 100,000 views mark. I did actually “woop” with joy. It’s so nice to know people read my blog even if it’s not really all about that. My blog is what keeps me going on those bad days (well aside from Little Miss) I’m always looking for something to write about. It would be lovely to reach the 200,000 mark by next January! Here’s to hoping! As I mentioned last week, I’m trying to post more outfits. I do like…

The Wanderlust Tag
I really enjoyed this tag that Leona posted on her blog Oh! Leona this afternoon and I decided since 2014 is hopefully going to be my Year of Wanderlust (see my Hello 2014 post) it seemed like a nice idea to share it. Please let me know if you take part as it would be nice to link you up. All photos in this post are my own. Enjoy! Central Park, Manhattan 2009 1. Your most treasured passport stamp? I currently have none as I only got a new passport last year and the only place I visited was France. These days you don’t get a stamp when visiting the…

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…
