Kylie Cosmetics: Posie K Gloss

Sunday 14 August 2016

I've had a couple of purchases from Kylie Cosmetics recently much to the dismay of my bank account! One of my orders I've had a bit of a mare with and it's taken ages to get delivered! Not been a happy bunny and usps tracking is so slow!
Anyway one of the two orders that has arrived is my Posie K gloss.
I'm not much of a gloss girl often preferring the Matte Lip but as I love the colour of Posie K so much I figured I had to give it a go.

Lifestyle: My First Attempt at Dairy Free Pesto

Tuesday 9 August 2016

As I am trying to eat less dairy in my diet I decided to to attempt cooking some dairy free versions of foods that I love that contain milk products. I am a huge fan of pesto especially on pasta so I thought I would see if the dairy free version was just as good! This would be my first attempt at cooking Dairy Free Pesto and at cooking pesto in general.
So its not as blended as it could be (lets blame the blender for that) and at first I thought I had added far too much garlic and that it was going to be a disaster! Thankfully it turned out really well and went nicely with the courgetti (courgettes as spaghetti surprisingly nice!) I had for my tea.

Mini Book Haul

Wednesday 27 July 2016

Working in a library where I can borrow books for free means that it's not often that I find myself buying books these days. The other day I treated myself to a couple of titles that I have had my eye on for a while so I thought I would share these with you.


'A small boy and his grandmother set sail for China in the mud of her back yard; a supermarket car park becomes a graveyard of strewn blueberries; migratory birds fly over a marshland ringing with the sound of wooden spoons on kitchen pots; and the breaking of a silence between two roommates leads to disquieting revelations.

Where Have I Been?

Thursday 21 July 2016


Things have been absolutely manic as of late with a lot of personal issues cropping up that have just left me feeling drained, down and frankly not wanting to do anything at all.

Amidst this drama I have visited Aberystwyth for a week! (Hence the artsy photos above.)
Why you may ask? I agreed with my work that I would complete a distance learning degree. It has been a long time coming but I have finally completed the first week of the study school.

Zoella Beauty: Sweet Inspirations. Worth the Hype?

Monday 20 June 2016

I finally caved into the Zoella beauty hype! The previous Zoella beauty releases have not grabbed me I just did not see the hype sure the ranges smelled nice but there were cheaper options around. Then the Sweet Inspirations range dropped and I knew I had to try it!

Belated May Favourites

Sunday 12 June 2016



A rather belated May favourites here. I would like to say it's because I have been busy but honestly I haven't had any motivation to write. As blogging is something I enjoy I did not want to force myself into writing blogs when I just have not felt like it.

On with the post! Here are my favourite things from the month of May. Mostly make-up - I have definitely had a bit of a splurge.
