Last month I had the pleasure of staying in Hollin Hall Country House Hotel in Macclesfield because I was attending a wedding in the area. Hollin Hall is located in the country side and surrounded by beautiful scenery. It is a gothic style building with beautiful and gaudy interior. This is definitely one hotel I […]

I recently got a new job and I have been spending less time taking care of my skin as I settle into new routines and such. I haven’t been as active as I would have liked to be with my skin care regime at the moment, so here is what I’ve been using recently to […]

The Seaweed Oil Balancing Toner (£8.00) and A Breath Of Fresh Air (£4.95/£9.50) are both effective toners that are great at reducing and controlling sebum. They’re both suitable for oily and combination skin and both function well. They’ve never really been a part of my full skin care routines. Only on specific occasions. I use the Seaweed […]

It has been a long time since I added to my little series Cafe Diaries and it’s because I’ve been going to the same places over the last several months. One of my local go-to places is Folk Cafe Bar in West Didsbury. This is one of my favourite places to drink beer and have coffee rather […]

I started taking my skincare routine a lot more seriously over the last few years and the deeper you get into the skin care world the more you learn about products and the forms they come in.

I have oily/combination skin and when my skin produces too much oil I breakout like crazy. I use a lot of Tea Tree products in order to help with the reduction of sebum and prevent breakouts. Toners are an essential part of my skin care routine as toning is an important role in the cleansing […]

Earlier this week I was on the hunt for some sheet masks that I could buy in store whilst I wait for the ones I ordered from China and Korea. I found some in boots for £2.00 which is an okay price but it isn’t great, especially because sheet masks are one use. I’m used […]

It’s Friday! For a lot of people that means the beginning of the weekend as soon as they’ve finished work or studying. Maybe they’ll spend the evening with friends or co-workers eating in a restaurant or drinking in a bar? Perhaps at the cinema with family or a small get together at home? Whisky is […]

If it has Tea Tree in it, I’m probably using it. I only recently found out about The Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Night Mask (£12) as I was scrolling through beauty review blogs and I knew immediately that I wanted to to try it. This night mask is for oily and blemished skin and it leaves the skin […]

If you don’t know what a sheet mask is, it is a paper like fabric in the shape of a face that you place over your skin. It has holes where they eyes, nose and mouth should be. The sheet is made paper, various fibres and gels. It is also soaked in nutritious concentrated solutions […]

We have all experienced the feeling of blemishes pushing their way through to the surface of the skin at some point and if you’re unlucky enough it also happens before you’re about to go somewhere you want to look your best. I have combination skin, so I only use blemish prevention products when I feel […]

Originally I wanted to begin with 10 Things I love about China but my stay here so far has been more negative that positive so this is what’s coming first. Honestly, it’s a shame because I came here in 2010 (aged 14) and 2012 (aged 16) and it was an amazing and lovely experience. I went to […]
