Hello lovelies! It’s already been a year and a half since I went blonde. I’ve tried a few purple shampoos in that time, some which worked better than others. My hairstylist recommended the Kevin Murphy Blonde Angel Wash to me. He used it to wash my hair before my last trim in early February. Despite it’s expensive price, I decided…

How to Stay Connected to Your Partner While Physical Distancing
Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well and staying safe. It’s day 19 of physical distancing for me. I’m quite enjoying the quiet time and the slower pace of life, but I really do miss seeing my boyfriend. It’s weird being in a long distance relationship with someone who lives in the same city as you. I’ve compiled a…
New Decade, New Me?
Hello there! I’m finally stepping back into blogging after a 5 month hiatus. And what a whirlwind it has been! I’ve been through some MAJOR life changes in the past few months… I’ll start with something positive: I got laser eye surgery at the end of October! It was a bit of an impulse decision to be honest, but I…
Master Bedroom Decor Update: A Pop of Blue!
Hello lovelies! This summer I had a sudden urge to paint my house. Simon and I have lived in our home for nearly three years (already!), and I felt like we needed an update.

Vacationing in Las Vegas
Hello readers! How is everyone? I recently went on a little vacation to Las Vegas and wanted to share my experience. This trip was quite a big deal for me, since the main purpose was to meet my online friend Amber in person. We met through blogging many years ago. What started with mutual blog comments blossomed into regular emails,…

July No Spend Challenge
Hello lovelies! I decided to try a no spend challenge for the month of July. Lately I’ve been finding myself tempted by clothing sales, and I’m also guilty of treating myself to coffees when I can simply make one at home. I have some credit card debt I’d like to pay off by the end of the year, and I’d…

Avon Crave Lip Gloss Review and Swatches: Awesome, Tasty Lips!
Hello lovely readers! I’ve been meaning to get this review up for weeks… better late than never, right? When I saw the new Avon Crave Lip Glosses in the catalog a few months ago, they really caught my eye. They have seriously ADORABLE packaging! Each tube contains 0.3 fl oz so they are small. I’m actually okay with that, because…
Eyeko London Lash Alert Mascara
Hello lovelies, and happy Sunday. I received a trial size of the Eyeko London Lash Alert mascara in my February Ipsy bag. I’m always very stocked to receive mascaras. I love to try new ones, and how cute is the concept of mascara in a tube? The Eyeko London Lash Alert mascara contains caffeine and fibers, so it really gave…
