Skylark Treehouses Review: The Mind/Soul Reset

This week I did something that felt possibly a bit batshit crazy and stayed, on my own, in a treehouse in the woods. I know. The person who gets spooked in her own garden. It is testament to just how desperately I needed to remove myself from all noise and distraction (impending deadline that I

Best Christmas Gift: Books and Chocolate 2023

It’s the Best Christmas Gift: Books and Chocolate 2023 Edition . I write this post every year and – despite always preparing it at the start of November – it never gets published until a couple of weeks before Christmas. I sort of like it that way – it’s my very own Christmas tradition and

Foundation Review: Lancome Teint Idole Care & Glow

I think that one of my all-time favourite foundations has been knocked from its winner’s podium: I’ve finally found a longwear makeup base that I love more than Lancome’s Teint Idole Ultra Wear.

It’s a very low-key, subtle

What’s In My Mystery Makeup Bag?

I took a little makeup bag with me on an overnight trip a couple of months ago and then when I got home again from my travels I forgot to unpack it. I only happened upon it by total fluke, the other week, when I went searching for one of those sticky clothes rollers in

New Nutritional Care Options for Black Women

As we delve into 2024, the focus on tailored health solutions continues to grow, especially in the realm of nutritional supplements. Black women, in particular, have unique nutritional needs that often go unmet by generic supplements. Recognizing this gap, Black Girl Vitamins has emerged as a frontrunner in providing specialized supplements that cater specifically to

Sainsbury’s New Beauty Aisles: My Favourite Products | AD

I feel that Sainsbury’s have always been slightly ahead of the game when it comes to supermarket beauty shopping, stocking great and affordable brands such Super Facialist, Burt’s Bees and Nip + Fab, but now they have completely raised the bar again with their brand new beauty aisles. Nearly two hundred superstores have the new
