Health and Wellbeing Investments Worth the Splurge
Some like to be a little frugal when it comes to investing in our health and wellbeing, others might prefer to splurge every once in a while. I’m definitely a bit of both, I think some things are really worth the money and then other products I might be happy with a simple drugstore version. How do you tell which of the many treatments and procedures out there are worth it? Let’s take a closer look at some of the options!

The Perfect Haircare Gift?
AD Gifted Product for my Gift Guide series.
We’ve already had the Under £10 Beauty & Grooming Stocking Fillers post and my Bumper Gift Guide packed with everything from pet-lover’s gifts to gin. I’m back with another gift idea for the hair-obsessed in your life. More specifically, the types in love with colouring their hair!

The Friday Girl’s Bumper Christmas Gift Guide

Items parked with an asterisk (*) have been gifted as samples to feature in this gift guide but I would never feature anything I wouldn’t gift or want to receive myself. Plus, I can’t recommend a delicious gin if I haven’t tasted it, right? Some products also have affiliate links.

4 Beautiful Wedding Eyelash Options
Post in collaboration with Nicole’s Beauty Nottingham a lovely at-home salon in East Bridgford. Nicole kindly gifted me a set of lashes as I wanted to trial whether I’d like them for our wedding and she talked me through the four main options that she has on offer so I wanted to share them with everyone in case it’s a treatment you’re interested in getting. On a side note, Nicole has a very stringent set of policies in relation to Covid-19 so no worries there at all.

Gifted treatment & affiliate links
Let’s talk hair. I’ve been every colour under the sun thanks to those good old teenage years of the Scene. If you know, you know – our poor hair! Despite this, my hair is in pretty good condition apart from a little breakage on one side which I’m convinced is down to the way I sleep. Right side of my head only, always.
2019 Beauty Favourites
Another year, another almost 365 days of wearing makeup, here are my top products of 2019.
Primer
I’ve been using erborian primers all year and they really are awesome. I featured them in this brand discovery blog post a little while ago but I’m still working my way through the Bamboo Glow* and finished up erborian Matte Creme* a few months ago which was so good for mattifying and worked really well with my favourite foundation. I don’t have a favourite primer other than these, I find they really do what they say they will so they’re super reliable!
