I think I am finally getting the hang of the Curly Girl method of looking after my curls, and while I am now here near perfect my curls are definitely so much more manageable than they were before. The only issue I have with it is finding a styling product that holds my curls in … Continue reading Umberto Giannini curl whip mousse

Barry M gelly nail polish – Goji Berry
As much as I love getting my nails done, since becoming vegan my nails grow so quickly that it's only about a week before my nail polish will need to removed or redone due to the amount of growing nail visible. I am therefore always on the hunt for some decent nail polishes that I … Continue reading Barry M gelly nail polish – Goji Berry
Superdrug sugar and oil body scrub
One of my goals for this year is to take my skincare a bit more seriously. I am inching ever closer to thirty and while I do feel like my skin is pretty good, I know I don't give it the attention it really deserves. I have been doing a lot of research and over … Continue reading Superdrug sugar and oil body scrub
e.l.f sheer matte liquid lipstick
e.l.f (which stands for Eyes, Lips, Face) is a drugstore make up brand that is 100% vegan and cruelty free. I discovered this brand a year or so ago and it is probably now my main go-to brand: Their foundations do exactly what you need, and they have some really lovely shades of lipstick and … Continue reading e.l.f sheer matte liquid lipstick
Lush Snow Fairy
This one is bitter sweet...because I did not think it would last me as long as it did and as such it is no longer available at Lush. This soap was part of their Christmas range and is therefore only available during the Christmas period. So this one is on me... I LOVE this soap. … Continue reading Lush Snow Fairy

The Trevor Sorbie range is completely new to me: I have never used them before for anything, and I haven't seen that much about them on social media before. But they are … Continue reading Trevor Sorbie curl cream
Lush’s Twilight bath bomb
A week ago I found myself in self-isolation. My NHS COVID app told me that I needed to self isolate for 5 days, on Sunday night. Therefore for 5 days I had to stay in my house and not go anywhere. At all. I couldn't even go outside. Which meant that my lovely partner had … Continue reading Lush’s Twilight bath bomb
Noughty Wave Hello curl cream
I think I am slowly getting my hair routine down. I have heard great things about the Noughty range so decided to give their curl cream a go to see if it worked better than the jelly to tame my wild locks. I found the jelly did work well but it didn't keep my curls … Continue reading Noughty Wave Hello curl cream
Superdrug Tea Tree foaming facial wash
I am one of those lucky people who has odd skin: In the winter, my skin is stupidly dry, yet in the summer it can get quite oily. I do wear make up most days - mainly because of work or because I'm out seeing people - but I do try my best to always … Continue reading Superdrug Tea Tree foaming facial wash
Maui shea butter shampoo and conditioner
As some of you may know, I am currently in the process of embracing and nurturing my true curly hair. I have spent at least the last 15 years straightening my hair, trying to tame it and control it and then getting mad when my hair would start to crimp at the slightest hint of … Continue reading Maui shea butter shampoo and conditioner
