Chocolate Hair Care
I love chocolate. I love to eat it, and when given the chance, I’ll also love it in my beauty products!

Get the Pin-Up Look at the Vintage Beauty Parlour
Last weekend I went down to the launch of The Vintage Beauty Parlour, which opened in Chorlton, Manchester. Decorated in vintage Hollywood style it will be a specialist salon for vintage makeovers and they'll be creating authentic glamorous looks from the different eras, from 20's flappers to 50's pin-ups, something I was able to witness first hand at the launch! … Continue reading Get the Pin-Up Look at the Vintage Beauty Parlour
AW14 Trends – Inspiration from John Lewis
The seasons are changing and the shops are now full of autumn styles, and yet for some reason I’ve been lacking the inspiration to buy anything new. I had no idea what I wanted!

A-Z of Autumn
We may have had a final burst of summer weather (better late than never), but it’s now officially autumn and I’m certainly starting to feel it. It’s possibly my favourite season overall, and here’s why… my list of everything I’ll be loving this autumn! A – Ankle boots. Bye bye sandals, painted toenails and chilly … Continue reading A-Z of Autumn
Hatton Court Hotel – the Cotwolds
For our mini-break last week we decided that rather than attempt the 5 hour drive (best case scenario) from Manchester to Dorset, we would split the journey in two and treat ourselves to a luxurious overnight stay in the Cotswolds area. Secret Escapes are full of this kind of thing, as I am constantly aware … Continue reading Hatton Court Hotel – the Cotwolds
What I’ve Been Watching on Amazon Prime Instant Video
Amazon Prime Instant Video is the film streaming service that replaces LOVEFiLM, and although I enjoy Netflix I’ve found that it’s worth alternating with Prime because the selection of titles is so different. Whilst Netflix has some gems of its own, so does Amazon! I’ve done my free month’s trial and it was definitely worth … Continue reading What I’ve Been Watching on Amazon Prime Instant Video
Seaside Snapshots and Monkey Business
We were so lucky with the weather for our mini break to Dorset this week! This almost never happens for us and we mostly get drizzle or downpours wherever we go, so it was a real treat to return to one of our favourite UK destinations and actually enjoy some September sunshine. We spent a … Continue reading Seaside Snapshots and Monkey Business
Hotel Chocolat Giveaway: Win a Giant Slab!
Hotel Chocolat is celebrating their 10th birthday! Can it really be so long since I first tasted their luxurious creamy chocolate, or since I first experienced the excitement of a giant slab?! Well apparently so, and they’re having a birthday party with prosecco, chocolate samples, competitions and chocolatiers demonstrations in their stores on 27th September, where customers … Continue reading Hotel Chocolat Giveaway: Win a Giant Slab!
Lush Ultrabland Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
The skin on my face is very sensitive and because I’m so fair it's prone to redness too, so I’ve been looking to buy a very gentle, non-exfoliating facial cleanser. I know exfoliating is a key part of some peoples’ skincare routines, but I’m finding it too abrasive and it just creates extra redness on … Continue reading Lush Ultrabland Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
