In an attempt to give all of my Instagram videos a safe and permanent home (ie, at a place I actually own, not a platform I have no control over) I’m slowly getting into the habit of uploading them onto Youtube before embedding them into blog posts here on the website.

Here’s a little updated video on how I style my shoulder length hair – regular readers have seen this all before, I’m not sure much has changed. The Cloud Nine curling wand is still the tool of choice ( here *) – it’s just the right diameter for the curls I like to make (they

If you’re trying to save money on your skincare but don’t want to compromise on the quality of your routine then I have some good news for you: I’ve rounded up some of the best budget cleansers and they’re all products I happily use (and repurchase) on a regular basis.
