John Frieda 7 Day Luxurious Volume Range Review
It’s been a while since my last beauty review, but I’m well and truly into the parenting groove these days.

Five Favourite Lip Colours for Autumn
LINKS REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE Today is the first day it’s really felt like Autumn to me. I woke to thick fog that never lifted all day it made the house feel dark. There was also a definite chill in the air and it felt like I’d barely had my curtains open. My mother came breezing in at dinner time to tell me it was going to warm up again but to me, Autumn is officially here. The evenings are cold and we have blankets on our bed, not to mention you can get Pumpkin Spiced Lattes in Starbucks again (i’ll be having my first on Saturday!)…
