4 Bridesmaid Ideas: Be Upstanding For The Bridesmaids!

Planning a wedding is really exciting. The old-school and pretty awful general consensus was that you should have ugly bridesmaids so that they don’t stand out above you on the day. I mean, sorry but all of my friends are beautiful on the inside and out. But, if there is one lesson that brides could learn really fast, it’s that you cannot be outshone by a bridesmaid. Now I’ve not even decided if I really want bridesmaids as our wedding is pretty low key but I still love dreaming about the Pinterest boards and love to chat about the topic. Read More

January 2020 Money Diary

It’s time for another money diary and pre-payday / post-Christmas  is bound to be a weird one!

Saturday
A little new year’s resolution is to see as many people as I can basically all the damn time, especially in January because it can be a bit grim, can’t it? Popped to meet two of my friends and one of their super cute toddlers, free parking and then £4.30 breakfast and juice in Wetherspoon’s is a steal for scrambled eggs, toast, beans, veggie sausage and orange juice.

AD | Where to eat in Nottingham: The Cod’s Scallops

Before Christmas I had the privilege to pop down to The Cod’s Scallops in Carrington to check them out and learn all about their eateries before the 2020 Fish n Chip Awards that are this month! The Cod’s Scallops are an amazing local chain of fish and chip shops created by John Molnar, who used his 30 years of chef and business experience to get onboard a skilled crew, source the finest produce and set sail a fish and chip concept like no other. It really is unlike any other chippy I’ve ever been to! Read More

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! Read More
