When I created my house To Do list at the start of the year bathrooms didn’t feature on it. Why? Because, quite simply, kitchens and bathrooms tend to be the most expensive rooms in a house to re-vamp so, whilst I’m no fan of the kitchen and bathrooms in my house, I just couldn’t justify ripping them out and starting from scratch when they were perfectly functional (the picture below shows what the main bathroom looked like when viewing the house before we moved in), just not remotely to my taste.

APRIL GLOSSYBOX FIRST IMPRESSIONS
It’s been ages since I got a Beauty Box. I used to get a couple each month for over a year but started to find the brands and products a bit samey after a while so cancelled my subscriptions.

STYLE EDIT: LONGLINE TOPS
Longer hemlines are featuring everywhere in the Spring look books and as someone who is pretty tall (I’m almost 5′ 10″) with a long body this is a seriously welcome trend.
I generally find a lot of tops just aren’t long enough for me and either hit that super unflattering point that makes you seem wider than you are, look like you’ve shrunk your top in the wash or that you got a little confused about what the cropped top trend actually meant. Even if you’ve not that particular set of problems to deal with, a longline top is just a super flattering, easy to wear look. Here are some of my current favourites…
Top Row:
Longline Checked Blue Shirt, Missguided, £22 here.
Linen Mix Plum Longline T-Shirt, Next, £14 here.
Wrap Longline Black Blouse, River Island, £32 here.
Middle Row:
