Sunburst mirrors make a huge statement and look great in a scandi inspired interior (which you know I love!). I’d seen a couple around and decided that I’d try and figure out how to make a sunburst mirror for myself! It turned out to be really easy!

The BEST Foundation for Oily Skin & Acne! | Bareminerals Foundation Review
I have searched for many years to find the best foundation for my oily skin that is prone to acne. I’ve tried foundations costing from £6 to £50 and guess what? None of them suited me. Until I found this one! I realised that the mistake that I was making was that I kept trying different kinds of liquid foundation. It’s the default kind right? But liquid foundation just doesn’t seem to suit oily skin. After a couple of hours, it just seems to lift off my face and sits on top of it as if I haven’t bothered to blend it out or rub it in. It’s not a…
Morning Skincare Routine for Acne Prone Skin
Acne prone skin has been the bane of my life since my early teens. I’ve done a lot of research over the years and I’m pleased to say that I’ve finally found a morning skincare routine for acne prone skin that works to control my oily skin and fight blemishes. When you have acne prone skin, it can be easy to jump to a routine that strips all the natural oils from your skin. Whilst this sounds sensible, what will actually happen if the skin is stripped of oil is that it will make more oil to make up for it! The perfect morning skincare routine for acne prone skin…
Asos Haul | Huge Summer Fashion Haul
When I say huge summer Asos haul, I really mean huge! Lockdown seems to have levelled up my online shopping hobby to competitive level! In my latest asos haul I probably spent about £400 – shocking right? I just can’t seem to stop myself! I pretty much got a full summer wardrobe in this haul. I’ve really gotten into playsuits and jumpsuits so they feature pretty heavily. As a mum, dresses just aren’t always practical because when you’re running round after a two year old, building dens, doing jigsaws and changing nappies, you can’t always protect your modesty with a dress! The american’s call playsuits ‘rompers’ for a reason! I…

Tips for Working from Home & Staying Sane in Lockdown
I thought I’d love the working from home life but it’s not quite the way I planned with my husband also having to work from home plus a two year old to look after! A few days in, here are my top tips for working from home, staying sane and being as productive as possible! 1. Routine Laying out a rough routine has really helped. We’ve agreed to work in shift patterns so one of us looks after Theo in the morning while the other works, we both work while he’s asleep at lunchtime and then swap over in the afternoon. We’ve also drawn up a plan for the day…
