After realising I couldn’t squeeze anything else into the box I’ve been using to store my empties in since starting this blog I realised an empties post was well overdue.
So here’s a run down of some of my recent empties with my quick thoughts on each and links to any full reviews I have done… Continue reading “EMPTIES #1”
It’s monthly favourites time! These are the items I’ve been using and loving this month… 
It’s quite a short list this month as I’ve spent most of my time desperately trying to get progress made in decorating my dining room but a few things have really stood out for me – some new, some old favourites that I’ve revisited and brought back into rotation.

It’s my birthday next month and a couple of my favourite humans have asked me to give them some hints for presents I might like.

I’ll have a cursory skim of the ingredients list on a product very occasionally, usually only when I’ve been writing up a blog post and wanted to find out what ingredients might be the “wonder ingredient” that’s making me rave about a product.
I recently fell down an internet rabbit hole (please tell me I’m not the only person who goes to Google one thing and ends up twenty Wikipedia pages deep an hour later…) and stumbled across Think Dirty®, a project set up to “understand the truths in the beauty industry”. They provide a free app that gives you the opportunity to scan the barcodes on your beauty products to find out more about the ingredients that are in those items. You can find out more about the project here.
Ingredients are ‘rated’ between 0 and 10; 10 being those ingredients the app considers the most “dirty”. Continue reading “HOW CLEAN IS YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE?”
