Who doesn’t love a good long soak in the bath? I am definitely a ‘stay in there til I’m wrinkled’ kind of girl. And I’m always looking for inspiration for that luxury bath experience on Instagram whether it’s Stacey Solomon’s stories or scrolling through #bathboard posts. I had a very tired, stained white bathboard that…

Between lockdowns and local restrictions, Simon and I managed to get a couple of days away this week to Shropshire, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.

Who doesn’t love new make up? i certainly do but it’s not something I buy very often. I usually buy a few bits from MAC during my annual birthday trip to manchester and I pick up a few bits just before holidays. I’ve excelled myself in finding a bargain for my holiday haul. First up…

I love baking, however, I’m no star baker. I wouldn’t be getting a Paul Hollywood handshake anytime soon – and not just because of Covid-19. I rarely get the time and I’m extremely messy, so I usually bake when Simon is at work, so that my level of untidiness doesn’t raise his stress levels. Cookies…

My skin care routine is practically none existent. However, during lockdown I had a mass cull of all old, unused and expired products and set myself up with a basket of essentials to give myself a quick and easy routine. Skincare can seem like a chore when you’re faced with a 12-step routine, so I…
