Hi everyone. I've been thinking about the way I do product reviews. I post so infrequently that it seems a waste to do a post that reviews just one product, or at least it does to me. That's when I remembered the favourites videos I used to do on youtube where I'd do mini reviews of a bunch of products I'd been liking recently & since I organise my blog photos quarterly I decided to do quarterly favourites. You could also think of them seasonal favourites, so these would wind up being my Autumn-Early Winter favourites... Or I could witter on more & really annoy everyone ^^

I thought I would start with the hair dye I use as I forgot to include it in the group photo (is it just me or does this background look really cute?).

Wow I am super late with this post, I managed to get it done in less than a month which is pretty good going considering how crappy I've been feeling lol.
Okay so about two weeks ago I got to go my very first blogger event - which was super cool - run by the lovely people at Crabtree & Evelyn for their 'Handy Tips' event.
The 'Handy Tips' event is based around the concept of passing down knowledge & beauty advise through the generations & generally about being part of a beauty community I guess. In each store they have like a huge cardboard tree & you can write a tip on a leaf which gets stuck to the tree and then you get £5 voucher & entry into some big prize draw for a family photography experience.

Anybody else think the best bit of Christmas is the advent calendar? Just me?
Whatever your feelings about them, I think it is very appropriate that the first post in my Christmas series is all about Advent Calendars. I have a whole month of Christmas crazy planned, including a DIY advent calendar, festive baking, gift guides & maybe a lookbook. But for now, whether it's for you or not, here are this years best ways to count down to Christmas.

Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar. I got this for my brother as a birthday present (he may be 19 but he is a nerd so...Lego + Star Wars = nerd-vana) & it is so cute!

So I know that as far as blogging goes I've been kind of slacking. You try getting motivated when it's this lovely out. I mean, I've not been getting out in it as much as I would like...but it's still really hard to focus.
Regardless, nails still need doing whatever the weather & mine REALLY needed doing so I thought I'd share what I do.
I really enjoy mixing up what I do on my nails. I'm not so good at nail art or anything but I have a lot of fun & it makes me feel so much better about my gross hands.
