Oh look at this! I’ve only gone and recorded my first audio version of a post. Think of it like a mini podcast episode, really, because I reckon 60% of it is me talking about Aldi Beef Wellingtons and the fact that I’ve never been able to burp. I sort of want you all to […]

I’m going to start giving scores to my holidays, trips and family days out. What an absolute Joy Hoover™.

Can I just be completely basic about this month’s favourites and say that the current weather conditions in the UK (very warm, very sunny, not too hot at night) are my top, number one thing? Will that do? OK then, I’m off to reclaim my sun-basking space on the front step, see you in May. […]

June 7, 2018 Rodin just launched their new Mermaid Collection with packaging by the always amazing Donald Robertson! The collection consists of four products plus a lovely kabuki style brush. My personal favorites are the Luxury Body Oil and the Luxury Lip Oil – I’ve been using these daily. The Body Oil has a subtle fresh […]

Here are some beauty products I buy on repeat. And I know what some of you will be thinking. Wowee, you’ll be thinking. Big deal, you utter twerp. We all have beauty products we buy repeatedly: it’s just called liking something. But here’s the thing: I routinely get sent beauty samples as part of my […]
