Beauty // March Favourites
It’s been a while since a beauty post graced the blog and to be honest, I’ve missed them. Don’t get me wrong, I love food blogging – both creating recipes and sampling new restaurants, but I equally adore investing in new make up. So what better time to do a March favourites haul? Rituals Magic […]

Beauty // January Favourites
I don’t really feature monthly favourites but I’m really loving taking the time each morning to do my make up and then take it off and leave my skin feeling fresh at night. So let’s start with Sure deoderant. An essential I’m sure you’ll agree. I picked this up in a pound shop and […]

Beauty // Nivea Skincare
It’s been a while since I’ve covered beauty around these parts so what better time to get back into it than January! I haven’t touched a drop of alcohol now for 3 weeks and my skin and body are feeling so much better for it, but I need to re-address my skincare routine as it’s […]

Life // Blogging in 2015
2015 was the year I decided to put my all into my blog and really define what I want to talk about on my space of the internet. Having been blogging for a whopping 5 years and hitting that milestone back in June, I really enjoyed upping my content and honing in on food and […]

Monthly favourites: beauty edit
It’s been a while since I’ve talked beauty around these parts but I’m back with the 4 products I’ve been loving this month. I know we’re only half way through October but I keep thinking we’re closer to November than we are. Maybe it’s wishful thinking as we get closer to Halloween and bonfire night. […]

New MUA and Revolution Make Up Buys
I know I’m a beauty blogger but sometimes I go overboard stocking up new products. Base products and eyeshadows are my favourite products to buy so when I ‘nipped’ into Superdrug earlier this week, I couldn’t resist the MUA and Revolution stands. Cover Up Ever since I got a sample of the Laura Mercier primer […]

Hitting blog milestones
So this weekend I hit a huge blogging milestone – 10,000 page views! Little did I know 5 years ago when I started blogging as a place to showcase my writing skills to perspective job interviews, I would still be here 5 years later. I’ve been offered some fantastic opportunities through my blog and I […]

Mini Beauty Haul
I’ve never really done a round-up of the beauty items I’ve bought the previous month or any kind of haul posts, but I thought I’d share these on here. This month, same as every month really, I’ve been loving the Body Shop tea tree toner. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean after I’ve […]

Nail varnish obsession
So, I got an addiction. I’m gonna put it out there…I hate naked nails, on myself might I add. Some girls rock it well but I just hate the look of my hands when they’re nail varnish free. And so because of this weird habit, my collection keeps growing. As I’ve got older I tend […]

July’s make up bag buys
This weekend I was at a loose end with a rare 2 days with absolutely no plans. After a trip to the hairdressers and a much-needed toning down of my beach blonde locks, I decided to go shopping. Now I’m trying not to buy clothes so I went with the next best thing – make […]

First impressions of La Roche-Posay
On a recent shopping trip I picked up a couple of La Roche-Posay skincare samples to try. Having heard big things about the French skincare brand I was eager to try these out. I chose two samples of the effaclar duo+ which is a corrective serum that targets and corrects the appearance of imperfections. […]

My holiday nightime routine
Lately I’ve had a couple of nights away and I’ve got reducing my nightime routine to fit into my travel bag down to a fine art. When you’re in a hotel you want your home comforts so you feel like you and these are mine. Once I’ve showered and removed my make up with my […]

My favourite going out make-up
Going out out is a rare occasion for me these days, but when I do I love to take my time getting ready and applying my make-up. At Christmas I decided to treat myself to the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and 6 months on, I’m still in love. It has lots of different shades […]

Products I’m loving lately
Summer is officially here. I’ve spent the past week embracing my favourite sun dresses and sandals for work and it feels blaady brilliant! But I’m still tryna follow my whole “let’s shop less, Ruth” rule and this means my wardrobe remains chic and minimalistic, whilst my make up bag is bulging! A couple of months […]
