Benefit Stay Flawless 15 Hour Primer Review
I haven’t done a beauty review in what has felt like ages (and checking my blog it appears it really is ages!) I think this is because I felt I was doing so many that I was loosing the reason why I started my blog in the first place. I’ve had a ton of half written reviews in my blog folder on my desktop and I decided that I should really start making my way through them. I’m currently on a product spending ban at the moment so I can get some money behind me for Paris and of course Christmas (sorry, I used the C word AGAIN) and I…

#188 Oh Mr Postman *
Credit Come on, lets be honest.. there isn’t anything better than a good post day. You know the days when the postman knocks on your door and hands you a pile of parcels and letters (that aren’t bills, obviously!) I especially love unexpected parcels from friends. I was lucky enough to receive quite a few packages from various friends when I moved which was wonderful and they were really a good point during a stressful time. Since becoming more financially independent I have tried to do similar for friends. A lot of my friends and family don’t live anywhere near me so I like to let them know I’m still…

#186 Shopping Spotlight – Sleeping Beauty Shoes
Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday! I am absolutely shattered after the busiest week in ages! Last night I didn’t get home until after midnight from my Aunt’s ladies night. It was a scream! My mum, my aunts and all my female cousins, that live in the UK anyway, where there. It’s funny how so alike most of us are, even in looks. We don’t see each other as much as I’d like but growing up we were all so close that it means we have so much hilarious reminiscing to do over a few bottles of wine when we do get together. Then today it was the Trades Fours,…

#184 Where Amy Ate – Candy Bar, Edinburgh
It’s been a while since the last Where Amy Ate post, clearly I haven’t been eating out enough! Anyway, on Tuesday I headed up to Edinburgh with Alice to see some shows on The Fringe, we saw a slapstick show by some guys that Alice knows that perform as the Three Half Pints, it was bloody hilarious. We then went to see Britain’s Fuck All Talent which again was so damn funny. I recommend both of them if you need a good laugh while you’re up enjoying The Fringe festivities. ANYWAY, we headed up early to fit in a spot of shopping and lunch before going to see some shows.…

#183 Travel Supermarket Holiday Postcards Competition
Up on the border of Scotland it’s cool, windy and grey today, very miserable and not at all fun when everyone (including my parents) are sharing their summer holiday snaps all over the Internet! On the 1st September it will be THREE years since I last ventured abroad! And although I was lucky enough to have two short breaks within this country with Little Miss last summer, one to Scarborough and one to Cornwall, the weather was dreadful for both! Rain & wind are no fun for a small baby and incredibly stressful for her mum! So when I had an email through telling me about a competition that Travel…

#181 Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside
From my front door I can see the sea. To some people this is such an amazing thing but I grew up in a village on the sea front and it did have a lot more cons than pros. For starters, it wasn’t always sunny. I live on the North East coast right next to Scotland which means even in the height of summer it’s often pretty cool, windy and we’ve even been known to have a thick covering of fog on the days the weather man claims everywhere else is enjoying the hottest day of the year! Also, the smell. That salty smell is not something you want…
