Pinterest has a range of content on offer whether you’re into fashion, beauty, travel, interior design, food and fitness. I have only recently started making my own boards and pins to gather all my outfit ideas into one place. But I’ve been using it for years to help with finding the right style for me. 

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was on a journey to take better care of my hair to try and repair some of the heat damage I’ve caused myself over the years (see here). After some extensive research and watching @hasinikay talk through the ingredients in haircare products on TikTok (I highly recommend checking out her channel) I decided to cut out silicone from my routine. I had heard so many good things about the Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food products due being made up of 98% of natural ingredients whilst also being silicone free (yay) so I had to give them a go. 

Each of the Garnier Hair Foods masks (af) have three different functions. A condition, rinse out mask or leave in conditioner. Personally I only ever use masks as exactly that as I find this leaves the best results, my hair also gets greasy very quickly, so it doesn't mix well with leave in treatments. I opted for this mask first as it was specifically for damaged hair. After using the Papaya mask for a couple of weeks, I can't rave about it enough. It has definitely strengthened my ends and given them the nourishment they were crying out for. I have heard quite a few people say they don't like the smell, but I think it is divine! I was originally using it twice a week, but I have had to cut this down as my hair gets used to products quite quickly and the results become less prominent as time goes on. 

Let me know your thoughts on these masks in the comments or if you have any other recommendations!

Like most people right now I'm a little obsessed with Zara. They recently had a big winter sale with items as low as £1.99, and I couldn't quite believe it! As Zara is so popular their sizes sell out so quickly, that I have started to browse the Zara app as part of a daily ritual. Can't miss those bargains now can I! My daily scroll ended up with me adding items to my basket, and before I knew it I had an order confirmed. To my surprise it was delivered the next day (I had only selected standard delivery)! 

Crop tops are staple in my spring/summer wardrobe as they're so easy to style (see below). I picked up a ribbed tank top in black and beige for just £4.99, which in my opinion is a total bargain for the quality! You can get this in a range of different colours that are perfect for spring. Product code - 3253/306

I also grabbed two v-neck crop tops in black and sand as they're super comfy to lounge around the house in, especially now that's where we spend most of our time…! You can pick these up for £5.99 each. Product code -  0962/332

Zara's entire seamless range is an absolute dream, so I couldn't pass up on this gorgeous khaki green ribbed halter-neck top for £9.99!  You can also get this in black, grey and mink (they're already in my basket - oops!) Product code - 1014/417

As I'm only 5ft 1 I struggle to find joggers that I don't have to roll up. I was scrolling through my TikTok for you page (if you haven't downloaded TikTok yet, then I highly recommend it! It's not just for teens I promise!), and came across a Zara haul featuring some joggers from the kids range and I had to check them out for myself! Now this isn't the first time I have purchased from the Zara kids section as I bought a dreamy paper bag denim skirt last year that I lived in during the summer months! They had age 13-14 available in the loveliest pink so I couldn't pass up on them. (I am a UK size 8 for reference). These are a bargain at £9.99! Product code - 9008/601

Valentines Day is slowly approaching and you're wondering what you can gift your significant other, friend or even yourself. I am a big lover of perfume as it makes me feel confident, fresh and ready to start my day. But perfume is more than just a scent, it can tigger memories in any moment, leaving you reminiscing about happy times and evoking thoughts about your loved ones. That's why it's the perfect gift for somebody you love.

One of my all time favourite perfumes is Dolce and Gabbana's Light Blue (af). My mum always used to buy this whenever we went on our family summer holiday, so I always think of her when I smell it. I often find that toilettes aren't as long lasting as a parfum but this is surprisingly the opposite. It has a lovely strong, fresh scent that can last throughout the day. It is very noticeable so if you're looking for something more subtle then this might not be the one for you. This is on the pricer side with the smallest bottle (25ml) setting you back £45.00. 

Heart Notes 

Bamboo, Jasmine, White Rose

Base Notes 

Cedar wood, Amber, Musk

If you're looking for something a little sweeter then you may want to check out Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb (af). This has become increasingly popular over the past few years, being rated one of the top perfumes on the market. I have found this to be very long-lasting and doesn't need to be reapplied throughout the day. The bottle is also gorgeous and looks lovely on your vanity. Again this is a little on the pricey side priced at £56.00 for 30ML.

Another favourite of mine is Ariana Grande's 'Ari' (af) parfum, perfect for anybody who loves a sweet scent. I know what you're thinking, that this probably initially appealed to teenagers. But this scent is so lovely that as a 24-year-old woman I can't get enough of it! So much so that I am planning on checking out other perfumes that Miss Grande has to offer. It's very reasonably priced ranging from £22.50 as the smallest bottle (30ml) with the largest (100ml) at £40.50! This is definitely a compliment magnet as I get asked about it on a daily basis. Similar to the Viktor & Rolf bottle, this also looks very glamorous in your bedroom! I do occasionally have a top-up towards the end of the day. But in all honesty, the pros heavily outweigh, this very small con. Don't pass up on this bargain!

Another lockdown, another splurge. Last payday weekend I thought I’d treat myself to a little Superdrug (and H&M) order as I’ve been feeling a little hopeless this lockdown, as I imagine most of us are and thought I deserved a little pick me up. 

As an introvert with social anxiety I have always found comfort in sending time at home, watching a movie or binge watching a new tv series. But in 2020 due to the worldwide pandemic we all took at staying home and watching Netflix more seriously (it may as well be my job at this point). 

A main focus of my blog is to create posts that I would enjoy reading, whilst focusing on products that are mostly neglected in the blogging world. Upon searching for a review of a MAC foundation the results will come piling in, making it particularly easy to guess your shade and order online, due to the many swatches found online. Although I have tried many foundations since my teenage years I have never found my perfect foundation. Until now.

Being a fairly pale gal, I find it extremely difficult to find a shade pale enough that doesn't have pink undertones. After a surprisingly lovely English summer and a couple of European city breaks, despite my fair skin I had developed a golden tan. At the time I was regularly using No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation (£14.50 - 30ml) in the shade Calico (the palest shade). For years it had been a foundation that was the closet match (despite being a little pink) whilst providing full coverage and controlling my pesky oily skin.



Whilst browsing the Feel Unique website I came across the NYX Matte foundation (35ml) at a bargain price of £6 (getting an extra 10% having NYX as my 'Brand For Life'). Although a little sceptical of the price, I went ahead ordering two shades 01 Ivory and 02 Nude (coming to a total of £10.80, £3.70 cheaper than my No7 foundation!). They worked perfectly together to match the rest of my body. However, as my tan has now faded, 01 has become my everyday foundation.



Whilst I wouldn't say this is a full coverage foundation, it is perfectly buildable and has no trouble covering up spots and acne scars. One of my favourite aspects of the foundation is that it photographs surprisingly well, allowing me to wear it on a night out and not look like a ghost in those dreaded club photos.

For anybody looking for a cheap foundation I would highly recommend giving it a go, especially due to the slightly larger than normal shade range (18 shades). Whilst not being entirely inclusive and needing a development in more darker shades for those with deeper skin tones, it is definitely a step forward as many high street ranges hold a very poor choice of shades.

You can purchase the foundation in select Boots, Superdrug (af) and Debenhams stores (those in which stock NYX) and online beauty retailers such as Feel Unique and Look Fantastic.

Only in the past year or so I fallen in love with highlighters. For years I tried to give them a go but for whatever reason I had never really liked how they looked on my skin. Nothing pleases me more than a good old bargain (and free shipping of course!) so with 6 shades on offer at just £3 the MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighters are a complete steal. On top of this Superdrug also offers 10% discount (with the occasional 15-20%) for all student NUS card holders making them just £2.70 each!
