December #Paperhaul Subscription Box

It's only been two weeks since I showed what was in the November #Paperhaul box but this month arrived early and it's CHRISTMAS THEMED!

MAC Nutcracker Sweet Peach Face Compact Review

I haven't bought a limited edition item from Mac in so long but when I saw the Nutcracker collection, I knew I needed this face duo in my life and all over my cheeks. Not only is the packaging absolutely stunning but the blusher and highlight are top quality.

Getting to Know Me: The Blogger Tag

I haven't taken part in a tag post for so long, so when the lovely Francesca over at My Life in Rose Tinted Glasses nominated me, I thought it was about time I got back on that bandwagon and divulged even more about me. I mean, it's not like I don't share everything as it is anyway, so why not?

My New Wheels: Invacare TDX SP2 Narrow Base

At the end of September I began fundraising for a new powerchair as mine was causing more harm than good, and I've finally taken (or rather Ian did) some pics to show you all exactly what my new machine can do. So, yeah, this is going to be a very photo-heavy post.

A Masterclass with Clinique

Last week I attended my first blogger event at the Clinique counter in Debenhams, intu Milton Keynes.

November #Paperhaul Subscription Box

An Introduction to Products from Nouveau Lashes

I've been part of Nouveau Lashes #lashgang from the beginning and every product or treatment that I've had/used, I've absolutely loved. I thought I'd dedicate this post to this awesome brand and give you an insight on the types of things they offer.

I'm Not Scrooge: Why I Find Christmas Difficult

Apparently if you don't like Christmas or can't get into 'the Christmas spirit' you're miserable and a Scrooge. Okay, mate, sure. Have you ever wondered why someone doesn't like Christmas? I'm not cheerless, a killjoy or the Grinch, I just find Christmas time really hard.

7 Parts Of My Chronic Illness That Not Everyone Sees

I'm always very open and honest about my chronic illnesses (or at least I try to be) but there's still sides of my condition that not everyone is aware of. Why? Because my health makes me quite vulnerable and only people that live with me see me at my worst. At the moment I live with my boyfriend but when I was living at home, my mum, Pops and brother knew exactly what I deal with.
