Superhero series | Haircare products that changed my life

Cue emotional Ludovico Einaudi song that plays in the background of every tear-wrenching ad, a year ago I was 'diagnosed', shall we say, with mild psoriasis which, happy days, was mainly on my scalp. Combined with split ends, it was not my best year in terms of hair health. Fear not, I found the holy grail of products and now after extensive review-ing I'm about to gush about them.

Organic home-made scrub 'recipe'

Why spend serious money on organic and handmade body scrubs when you can top that - in your own kitchen even! 

Almost-spring makeup

I'll beging with appologising for the lackluster activity around here. I've had a crazy few weeks and yesterday a viral cold hit me like a ton of bricks meaning all I do now is sleep, cry (damn you hormones) and complain. I do look much more alive in these photos - thanks college nurse for saying I look pale - and it's all due to the new makeup look I have going into spring because I am super impatient and want February to be over.

Dress your lips for Christmas

I'm not going to claim dark lip tones as an invention of mine since most bloggers and youtubers are sporting them but I will say they make it look so much easier than it actually is. Make up stands are brimming with choice but it can be -it certainly was for me- overwhelming to be facing 4 different shades of red and not know which one would suit you. I'm afraid I don't have a secret nor a quick solution, it's a case of trial and error, but I do have a recommendation so maybe that will help next time you're in Boots and having an existential crisis in the makeup aisle.

Eye palette review: MUA 'Haven and Earth'

If you lust after the highly hyped up Urban Decay neutral palettes or missed the limited edition Bobbi Brown Warm Neutrals one like yours truly, then this might potentially change your makeup collection irrevocably.

Dainty paint pots

Summer is the best time to get creative with your nails. More so than in any season, summer nail polishes rise to the status of accessories. I won't go as far as saying that the sartorial impact they make is crucial but if you can have fun with one more aspect of your look, why not jump on that bandwagon and try yourself some of my favourite nail polishes?

Day trip to Cairo

I am very sorry for that misleading title, I have not jetted off to the warmer countries for the ridiculously short time of 24 hours. I opted for a cheaper alternative instead and painted my nails in the coolest design I have ever managed to make!
