Saturday 27th June marked the very first UK Black Pound Day. A monthly campaign setup by Swiss from So Solid Crew (you know you’re old when you remember SSC) to encourage people to buy products/services from Black owned businesses. As iffff I needed any more encouragement to spend my pounds, I’m buzzing that this campaign [...]
Our social lives have been ripped away from us and with that, our opportunity to spend our hard-earned cash. No more cocktails with the girls at the weekend, the hangover Chinese on a Sunday, bi-weekly ASOS deliveries and regular nail appointments. With all these outgoings now firmly halted, you might find you’ve a few more [...]
Lads, I don’t know about you, but I sure am missing the humble beauty salon. Hairdressers, nail technicians, beauty therapists, I took you for granted, and for that, I apologise. Despite isolation, we’re not wild beasts so self-care doesn’t need to be totally disregarded. There are some things we can do to pamper ourselves and [...]
We’re all indoors, we’re dealing with a global crisis, we miss our friends, normal life and we’re seriously doubting what we will do when we finally finish watching all of Modern Family. Then what happens? Our skin becomes as dry as a rusty nail and we’ve so many breakouts we look like we’ve recently taken [...]
Just before Christmas I adopted a new skincare routine, I had a complete overhaul which I don't usually do but for once in my life - it had an amazing effect! My skin has put me through a lot of sh*t throughout the years so I feel I’m due an a-ha moment. I had a [...]
P.S. it’s air conditioning. I don’t know how people in warmer climates do it. The hot to the cold and back again. A few hours in harsh air conditioning and my skin is shot. This post may be targeted more at my un-climatised UK readers who shrivel like a raisin when that chill hits. I [...]
Such a weird little day, even if you have a partner, why do you need to wait for one day of the year to spend time with each other? I also find it quite patronising when people spin up these anti-valentine’s campaigns, like it’s such a tragedy to be single. It’s the 21st century people!! [...]
Another year ends, another begins – ground-breaking. I’m not really one for nostalgia when it comes to a new year so if you’re wanting a soppy blog post, you’ve come to the wrong place. One thing I should reflect on though is this lil blog. She’ll be a year soon and I’m so glad I [...]
We’re on the home stretch, just one more week until Santa comes. As a grown woman, Santa can take many forms, your parents, siblings, partners, that aunt that always likes to spoil you at Christmas. You may think you’ve outgrown Santa lists but sometimes the big man needs some specifics. Otherwise, you could end up [...]
Ok so technically it’s Thursday but had to give my trusty followers the scoop on the beauty deals to look out for on Black Friday. Before the US annual shopping extravaganza went transatlantic, Black Friday sounded more like a zombie apocalypse rather than a Sale day. Although, this isn’t just any sale day. If you’re [...]
Ah October, the leaves are falling, the temperatures are dropping and the winter colours are making an appearance. It’s a season for us basic b*tches, give me all the knits, the plum nails and the seasonal coffees. Guilty. One thing I love about this time of year is the shift in makeup looks. I’m constantly [...]
