Amazing Night Balm Review

April 13, 2017 No Comments

I decided to do a review of this KIKO Milano Nourishing lip balm since i have just recovered from the worst case of chapped lips ever. I had the flu for the last couple of weeks there and my lips really suffered badly during that time. No matter what i did, they were dry and flaking. I would wake up in the morning with the worst case of dry mouth and my lips would be bone dry and really gross. Sorry for the yucky explanation there but i have never in my life experienced anything that bad on my lips.

Baby Soft Foot Scrub DIY

April 13, 2017 No Comments

I dont know about you, but i have completely neglected my feet this winter and have really noticed how the skin has become rough, dry and hard around my heels and on the balls of the feet, especially. It felt like the task was going to be a lot of work getting them back to the soft layer of skin below. I went online for some tips on doing this at home since i can't really afford a proper pedicure right now. To be honest i have only ever had a couple of proper pedicures in my life since they're sooo expensive!!

“Hygge” for Life

April 13, 2017 No Comments

Back to my blog after a long winter hibernation there! It's been a very cosy and relaxing environment at home and i have enjoyed the snug winter whilst wrapped up warm in front of the fire most days! I have to say it is a novelty for me, since it's our first winter in our own home. Last winter we were extremely busy with the renovation of our house and ended up having Christmas at a relatives house due to the mess and coldness of our own. We had only started renovating in November and were probably half way through the job at the time so it was impossible since we didn't even have the roof fixed or fire in at that stage. This year was really special as it was a chance to decorate and have a proper Christmas in our own place!

Silky Aloe Lip Care Review

April 13, 2017 No Comments

I have been on the look out for a decent lip balm for the winter months, since my lips are prone to chapping so i needed to find a really good quality one. I use lip balm all year round as part of my daily routine in the morning and re-apply at least twice a day so i was keen to find a really good one. I had a recommendation from a friend of mine for an Aloe vera based one which has menthol infused so it has a nice fresh and very mild scent. It also provides a cooling sensation when applied. It is calming and silky with just the right amount of moisture so that it glides on perfectly and only needs one coat. Aloe vera is healing aswell so if you have dry or chapped lips it helps. It prevents drying and protects from the outside elements.

So yesterday I was lucky enough to find a fancy 3-in-1 toasted sandwich maker which has interchangeable plates to make waffles AND a grill, for 20 quid in Lidl! I was chuffed cos i had been looking out for a decent toasty maker for a while and the waffle option just sold it for me!
