I am not a big makeup wearer I can go months without mascara or lipstick. I am also very boring, I like a very basic look, tinted moisturiser, red lip, eyeliner, mascara and blusher that’s it. But I spend a lot of money on my skin care and I like to invest in my makeup…

Planning my week
So I started a new habit, it’s something that I do when I work. I love to plan and schedule my time a bit of structure may get me out of my slump and make me sleep better. I find when I don’t have anything to do or planned then my mind is bored when…

Our days are filled with hot coffee, freshly washed blankets, snowy walks and evenings by the fire. With us still in lockdown there isn’t so much to share. Just what makes us happy at the moment. As the snow begins to melt and the battle between winter and spring begins I hope you are all…

A moment in time: strength and fragility
Last year taught us how equally strong and fragile we are. I am. You are. We are because we are here. We are strong because we got through last year. We are fragile because we have no idea what the future holds. None. We think of snowdrops as a fragile flower but it blooms in…
