Not only is this apple tart pretty, it’s also not that naughty (relatively speaking)! I've decided to prioritise healthy eating this August, but that doesn’t mean I don’t need some tasty treats every now and again.

Was that the shortest weekend ever? This Monday I’m more annoyed than usual that the weekend is over because I was ill all Friday and Saturday! Even snuggling up with Disney’s Tarzan and other Netflix delights with cups of tea and treats didn’t really make me feel like it was a proper weekend.

Ukbreakaways have launched a competition inviting bloggers to share their passion for their most beloved UK destination, and this post is, all about my favourite place – Dorset. Dorset was really the only place I could write about, as we love it so much that we travel down there for a visit at least once … Continue reading Sharing My Love for Dorset
I've always had a thing for vibrant lipstick, and my makeup collection always has to have a matte orange/red shade in it - I think it's a good colour for fair skinned blondes. This is a new one I picked up from M&S: Limited Collection Matte Lipstick in Tomato. I've never actually tried M&S makeup before, despite … Continue reading Bright Tomato Lips From M&S
Slogan tees are so popular this summer and last weekend I was introduce to the brand Rock on Ruby at the Manchester Blogger Meet. They have the most amazing selection of slogan tops including a Mean Girls range as well as a fairytales range, which are both right up my street. I also love that … Continue reading How to Style a Slogan Tee
I follow plenty of other blogs and love finding inspiration from them – whether it be style and beauty tips or DIY and recipe ideas.
