Christmas Pamper Evening

So it's only a week till Christmas, meaning there is no better time to have a relaxing, well deserved Christmas pamper evening. It's important to take some time out from the stress that comes with the festive season. You need to treat yourself after all those hours spent shopping for gifts! These are my favourite things to do on cold winter nights…


First things first, you need to make sure you're comfy. This is undeniably one of the most important steps. Whether it's a fluffy pair of Primark pyjamas (see this  blog post) or a pair of trusty trackie bottoms and a Christmas jumper. I like to wear my oversized, long F&F dressing gown in a blush colour (my cat Tiny loves to be covered in this too!) over this gorgeous pant and vest set from Primark so I don't get too hot! Last but not least, don't forget the fluffy socks!


Next on the list, you need to gather together all your favourite Christmas-time treats. I suggest mince pies and a big mug of hot chocolate - My favourite is the Cadbury’s one, finished off with a handful of marshmallows. If you're feeling especially indulgent you could crack open a tub of Celebrations, go on, it is Christmas after all! At this point I would also make a hot water bottle to ensure maximum coziness, as well as lighting a candle, like this lovely IKEA one which smells of cinnamon! Don't forget to turn on the Christmas tree lights!


Once your all comfy and have your snacks at the ready it's time to snuggle up on the sofa with lots of blankets - What better time to watch a Christmas movie then now! My favourite Christmas films are The Grinch, which is a great all rounder. Alternatively, if you're looking for something funny then I would definitely recommend Deck the Halls! For a less traditional but equally heart warming spin on Christmas, check out Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.


What would you do on your perfect pamper evening? Let me know down below!

Primark Haul

Heya! I hope you are all enjoying December, it's finally acceptable to watch Christmas movies and buy Christmas jumpers! In fact, as I'm writing this I am watching the Grinch, which has to be one of my favourite films at this time of year. Anyway, onto the Primark Haul…


The first thing I picked up was this stunning poncho, which is a mix of pink, blue and grey. It was only £10, which I thought made it an absolute bargain! To me it looks much more expensive. I have never owned anything remotely like this, but as soon as I saw it I fell in love.  This poncho is so cosy, it's literally like a big blanket! I think it's quite sophisticated and minimalistic, and is a nice alternative to the popular bomber jackets or khaki parkas. I love how it can be slipped on casually or even worn over a dress.


The next thing that caught my eye was this grey cardigan which was £8. I was looking for a cardigan to wear over a dress for a formal family outing. I really liked the length, it was just a smidge longer than my dress. I always seem to gravitate towards greys, I think it's because of how versatile they are. Cardigans like this are great for layering as they are thin enough to wear under a coat when it's extra chilly.


After that, I picked up these gorgeous black Chelsea boots, £14. They are ideal budget winter shoes, and are surprisingly sturdy considering their price. I brought these to wear with a dress, yet they could also be worn when you're simply running errands. These shoes are so comfy, I would recommend sizing up so that you can wear a pair of thick cosy socks underneath them. I usually wear trainer shoes so these were a welcome alternative.


Finally, the last thing I picked up were these adorable Seven Dwarfs ‘Sleepy’ pyjamas for £11. I'm actually wearing this right now as I'm wearing this, yes it is 3.30pm but I have been so ill - That seems to be the worse thing about this time of year, chesty coughs and colds. Anyway, these pyjamas are so fluffy and warm, they really do brighten up cold, winter days. The main colours are grey, white and pink, however there are so many to choose from. I don't know about you, but Primark’s winter pyjamas always make me feel so Christmassy! The dwarf on these pyjamas resembles Father Christmas, and he has a super soft beard!


That brings me to the end of my Primark haul, I hope you've enjoyed it! As always, don't forget to follow my social medias so that you can keep up with all of my blog posts! Enjoy the rest of your day, stay warm!

November Favourites

Good evening guys, I hope you've had a good week! I cannot believe December is upon us, this year has flown past in what feels like seconds. Winters definitely back, along with cold weather which just makes me want to stay snuggled in bed all day. Today I thought I'd share my November favourites, which are a mixture of place and room decor. Without further ado…


First up is The Savoy in London. I went with my family for my nan's birthday and I assumed it wouldn't be my cup of tea, but I couldn't have been more wrong! It was absolutely stunning, such a once in the life time experience. We went for afternoon tea and it was perfect; yummy finger sandwiches, delicious scones and gorgeous cakes, which were very aesthetically pleasing and Instagram worthy may I add!


The other place I loved in November was also in London - Winter Wonderland! It really was a wonderland. I live in a village so our Christmas fair is on a much smaller scale, Winter Wonderland far exceeded my expectations. It wasn't just markets, but there was a huge wheel in the centre, loads of rides, pop up restaurants...A sublime combination of smells and things to see!


Moving onto room decor, I purchased this lovely cushion from the National Gallery. I have a mountain of cushions on my bed, which are from IKEA to Primark to local shops, and this will be a welcome addition! It's so soft and well made, you can just tell it's of good quality. It also has the Tudors on, which is one of my favourite eras.


Finally are two Christmas candles which I bought from IKEA. One is a tea light holder, it was only a few pounds but it felt much more expensive, it was from their VINTER range, as was the candle. As for the candle, I have burnt it every single day without fail, it smells so good, arguably the best smelling candle I have ever had! It just smells of Christmas and whenever I light it, I just can't wait for the big day!


I hope you enjoyed finding out the places and items I have loved during November! What have you been loving this November? Let me know in the comments! Don't forget to follow me on all my social media, @gracedoesbeauty (Twitter) & gracedoesbeautyxoxo (Instagram). Stay warm and enjoy the first week of December guys!

Two Party Season Looks

Christmas is approaching, which means end of year parties, festive get togethers and family meals! I thought I'd share two outfits and two makeup looks with you, continue reading to see what they are and leave me a comment below letting me know which is your favourite!


My first outfit is this dress (https://m.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/scallop-mix-lace-bodycon-dress-5937790) from Topshop, which is £39. I would pair it with these black New Look Heels which were £19.99. This would be perfect for a party, as it's quite dressy.


My second outfit is these black Topshop jeans (£36) and this Topshop bralet (£20), again I have worn this with the New Look heels and it is a stunning combination! Let's be honest, you can't beat Topshop jeans, and this top is so gorgeous!


My first makeup look is a smokey eye and a nude lip. My personal choices would be the Urban Decay Naked 1, £38.50 and MAC’s Velvet Teddy, £15. I would use the darker black and grey shadows in the pallets to create a smokey eye, and Velvet Teddy is the perfect lipstick to accompany such a bold eye.


My other makeup look is winged eyeliner and a bold lip. I'd opt for the Collection Eyeliner, £3 and Kylie Cosmetics Dolce K, £23.16 to achieve this look. This eyeliner is great for creating eyeliner looks that slay! If you haven't got a Kylie Lip Kit yet, this is a lovely tone for those with a tanned skin tone.


I hope you've found something you'd wear, or I've inspired a makeup look for you this winter! Subscribe to my social media so you don't miss out on my next posts! Have an amazing weekend, thank you for reading!

Repurchases! (Bath time routine)

Hey guys, I hope you've had a lovely Saturday! I've decided to tell you about a few of the products I have purchased again and again, the products that have never let me down. There aren't any beauty related products in today's blog post, the products I'm talking about are more bath-based.


First of all I wanted to talk about the Dove
Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner which are only £2 each, in fact usually they are on offer for both for £3. I have tried so many different shampoos and conditioners in my life, from high end to supermarket own, but this is by far the best. Leaves hair feeling refreshed, with no knots, as well as lovely and shiny!


Next up is my beloved Clean & Clear Advantage Oil Control Cream Wash, (Online it's listed at £4.99, but I'm sure I've never paid that much for it, so £4.99 at the very maximum!). I use this religiously, every morning and evening, alongside my Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash (£2.75), which I use every evening regardless of where I am. I found out about the Clean & Clear Advantage Oil Control Cream Wash when I was shopping in Boots, earlier in the year they were giving out free samples. I adored it at soon as I used it, and knew I'd have to buy a normal sized one. I love how you can actually feel it doing something, I would say this exfoliates which is why it's great to use with the Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash as that softens the skin. I'm a huge fan of Simple skincare, I have sensitive skin so I love how Simple don't use any horrible ingredients.


The final product I wanted to talk to you about today is the Salt Of The Earth Spray Deodorant, £3,99. I can honestly say this is the only deodorant I have discovered that is kind on the underarms AND really works! My favourite thing about this deodorant is that you can reapply it as often as you need, it never strings the underarms or leaves them sore or dry. The bottle lasts a long time, longer than a spray deodorant or roll on. I like how you can actually see how much is left, you don't have to shake an aerosol can and make an estimate.


Thank you for taking the time to read this, what are your favourite bath time products? Leave a comment down below - Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

October Favourites

Good evening, I hope you're enjoying the cooler weather and are reading this whilst you are snuggled under a blanket with a hot chocolate beside you! Today I thought
I would share my October favourites with you, the products that got me through the month. I spent most of October back in the UK, however I did go to Gran Canaria during half term so some of these things may be holiday related.


First up are these black Primark joggers that were really useful to wear on the plane as they are so comfortable! They are surprisingly flattering, the white stripe is really slimming. These are great for days where you really can't be bothered but need to pop out, and at £8 you can't really go wrong!


Next up is another steal from Primark, this black rucksack that was only £9! It's a really versatile bag that has so many uses, from carry on luggage to a PE kit. It's so comfy to carry, as the straps distribute the weight really well. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I could stuff inside the bag, when I was on holiday I used it as a beach bag and it fitted all my beach necessities - Even my massive beach towel! It's really sturdy for a Primark bag too. The one negative is that it doesn't have any pockets, which is a bit annoying because there isn't a section to put your phone in to keep it safe.


Thirdly is the Boots Botanics Fast Absorbing Hand Lotion. As we all know, one of the biggest issues that come with the cold weather is dry, gross hands! As the name suggests, it absorbs instantly and doesn't leave a sticky feel to the hands like many other hand creams. It moisturisers hands really well, and there is a noticeable difference straight away. Oh, and it's only £1.93!


My next beauty favourite is this Simple Moisturiser which was £2.30 (You can't get much better then that!). Like the hand lotion, you won't find any nasties is this moisturiser. Suitable for all skin types, it is SO easy to get hold off! You can literally buy it at supermarkets! Simple is one of, if not my favourite, skincare brand, and this product did not disappoint!


Finally are these adorable Ikea fairy lights, which cost £3, the optional decorations are £6, but they are so sweet I couldn't resist! If like me you hate sleeping in the dark, these fairy lights add a subtle glow to a room, subtle enough that they can be left on overnight. They are perfect for this time of year, they add a cozy touch to any room. I have them in my bedroom wrapped around the headboard on my bed. They are so cheap yet add a lovely touch to a room.


I hope you enjoyed finding out my favourite products of October! Enjoy the last few hours of your Sunday, I hope you have a great week!

Key Autumn Pieces 🍂

Ah, autumn at last! I am at finally able to justify buying endless Costa hot chocolates again. I love autumn, it's one of if not my most favourite season. I live for sweater weather, scarves and cosy cardigans so today I thought I would share some of my favourite pieces with you…

First up are my black Doc Martens. Living in the UK, weather is unpredictable to say the least. That makes these the perfect autumnal shoe, suitable for rain, shine or mud! I'd be lost without my Docs, and even though they are a costly investment it is not one that you will regret.

Next, the classic checked scarf. My one is from New Look and I adore it, when unraveled it is ginormous! It's surprising how much a difference a scarf makes on a chilly day. This one is affordable too, which is another excuse to pick one up.

I couldn't live without a few cosy cardigans is these months! Primark have some gorgeous ones in store at the moment, it's worth stocking up on them. I feel cardigans add a nice feminine finish to an outfit. Easy to slip on and very versatile, you can't go wrong with a good old cardi!

Fourth on the list is an essential liquid lipstick in any make up lover's collection; Dolce K by Kylie Cosmetics. I think this true brown is perfectly suited to this time of year. Furthermore, the product itself is so long lasting and even has a delicious scent. I would 100% recommend the Kylie Lip Kits!

Last on the list is a comfy yet stylish jumper. I picked up one from Missguided a month or so back, and have enjoyed wearing it ever since. As it's pink it still looks girly which I like, as jumpers often have more of a tomboy feel to them. I love the aesthetically pleasing details in the ‘Tres Chic’ too!

So yeah, there was a quick round up of what I'm loving this autumn. These key pieces can be adapted to your personal style too. I hope you enjoyed reading this, have a lovely day! Don't forget to follow me on social media so you can keep up with my blog posts.

Zoella Sweet Inspirations Review

Hey, today I thought I'd share with you my views on the Zoella Sweet Inspirations Range. I haven't got everything from the latest release, however I have three fairly across the board products. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised with my purchases. I brought the body mist, body cream and the small purse.

Let's begin with the body mist. Wow, what a sophisticated scent! A perfect everyday perfume, this mist is delicate, not too strong nor sickly. The packaging is gorgeous and worthy of any Instagram feed. It smells of scrummy sweet macaroons, this scent is unique and unlike any other perfume I have ever come across. On top of that, you only need to spray this in the morning as it is extremely durable!

The next product I purchased was the body cream. As well as nourishing the skin, it featured the same delicious macaroon scent as the body mist. The scent lasts way longer then that of other body lotions, you can still smell it right up until the next day! It is enriched with almond oil, cacao and honey which results in soft, silky skin. It's absorbs directly into the skin and doesn't leave you with that slippery feel like most body lotions which makes it perfect for applying at the start of the day. Also, you only need a tiny amount as even the smallest squeeze goes a long way.

Finally, the last thing I picked up from the range was the clutch bag. It's a beautiful pastel/duck egg blue colour, which is really versatile and goes with a lot of colours. The clutch has lovely gold detailing that adds a luxe feel. This clutch will fit your phone in it so you can keep valuables safe, it's also great for holding a few coins if you don't want to drag your whole purse with you. One of my favourite things about it is the scalloped edges, so chic!

I hope you enjoyed reading about what I thought of the Sweet Inspirations Range. Like I said, I was pleasantly surprised. If I had to pick a favourite from the three items I brought, it would have to be the body mist as I now use it every single day! Thank you for reading, enjoy your day and don't forget to connect with me on social media so that you don't miss my next post!

Make Up Life Hacks That Actually Work!

Hey guys, I hope your enjoying your weekend! I've trawled though so many hack videos so I thought I would save you some time and share five things with you that really work. Without further a do, let's begin.

1. Heat up your eyelash curler with a hairdryer. Run your eyelash curlers under your hair dryer for about 15 seconds, then continue as normal.

2. Put mascara in your bra whilst your getting ready. By the time you are at the stage of doing your mascara, it will work like brand new!

3, Put Vaseline on pulse points to make your perfume last longer. Just apply a dab of Vaseline beforehand, it's as simple as that.

4. Use nail polish remover pads to clean shoes. If your like me, and you are always getting your shoes dirty, then this is perfect for you!

What's In My School Makeup Bag

Good morning! Today I'm going to show you what I have in my school makeup bag. I'm not going to call them essentials, as I'm aware it's rather extensive, however I'd rather be prepared and feel at ease knowing I would be ready for a wide range of incidents to occur. I can't leave the house without a bag, in fact it's an ongoing joke between my friends and I because I always seem to have whatever anybody needs.

• Vaseline
• Hand sanitiser
• Tissues
• Plasters
• Paracetamol and ibuprofen 
• Gum and mints
• Hair ties and bobby pins
• Comb
• Make up wipes
• Oil blotting sheets
• Cotton buds
• Mascara
• Lipgloss 
• Eyeliner 
• Hand lotion
• Spare tights 
• Socks
• Lint roller
• Dental picks
• Deodorant
• Perfume
• Nail file
• Mini scissors 

As I said I realise this is somewhat extensive...but there you go that's everything that's in my school makeup bag! I hope you enjoyed reading this, as I know myself I enjoy watching and reading what's in my school bag videos and blog posts. What are your school make up bag essentials? I'd love to know, leave a comment below! Check out my social media accounts so that you will know when my next blog post is up. Enjoy your day!

Back To School Make Up

Hi guys! Today I thought I would share my back to school make up routine with you. If like me you struggle to find the balance between looking good and getting ready quickly, I'm sure this will be of use to you. I'm going into year 11, but these looks could easily be adapted for a work environment. I realise they aren't the most basic school make up routines, but as an individual who is passionate about make up I thought I'd share my school hair and make up routine with you.

To prime my face I use Maybelline Baby Skin, which I dot over my cheeks, forehead, chin and nose. I suffer from dark under eye circles and if I haven't got much sleep it shows, so to wake up tired eyes I use the Benefit Puff Off Instant Eye Gel. Next I'll use Benefit’s Hello Flawless foundation all over my face, and the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer around my eyes. The final part of my base is the Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan which I apply to my neck, this is perfecting for enhancing a natural tan. I find that when I warm up my face with bronzer my neck is more often then not a shade or so lighter, so doing this gets rid of any harsh lines.

Now onto brows and eyes. First up is brows, whether or not your short on time brows are the one thing that cannot be left out. The Sleek Brow kit is what I use, the wax and powder create a strong look that lasts all day. I'll then curl my eyelashes with my No7 Eyelash curler, before using my Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner to create a winged look. This eyeliner is really durable and lasts all through school, even if you need to top up the tip is a perfect size and makes this straightforward to do. Finally for my eyes I'll add a few coats of the Benefit They're Real Mascara to elongate and define my lashes.

Now onto the final stage of my make up, contouring and any other finishing touches. I'll sweep the Benefit Hoola Bronzer all over my face for a natural starting point. After that I'll use the NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette to contour my cheek bone, jawline, nose and forehead, and I then highlight using the shades included in this palette. For a healthy glow, I'll use the L’Oreal Paris Le Blush in Sandalwood pink, it's especially appropriate for school mornings as my face often lacks colour due to looking so tired. I apply a dash on MAC’s Velvet Teddy to my lips, and a spitz on Zoella Beauty Sweet Insprations Body Mist, and I'm ready to go!

Make Up Essentials

Hey! Today I'm going to show you my make up essentials. These are the products that I just couldn't live without, the ones I come back to month after month. If you aim to have staple products like these, there is an endless selection of looks you can create. In this blog post I'm going to show you the ten key make up products that I use again and again.

First of all, my number one make up essential is concealer. Even for those days when you don't want to have a full face on, you can use concealer to cover any blemishes and under eye circles. Creamy formulas are most effective at this. The one I use is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in warm medium, it's a bargain and gives great coverage, especially under eyes.

The second make up product that I just couldn't live without is foundation. It is the base of any look, which is the reason why I think it is worth investing in something decent. I use the Hello Flawless by Benefit, it gives enough coverage without looking appearing cakey on the skin. It has an SPF of 25 which is a bonus, you don't have to worry about using sun cream on the face as this is 2-in-1.

Thirdly, I absolutely could not live without black mascara. There is no better way to define your eyelashes, as well as creating length and volume. I use the They’re Real! Benefit mascara and I can hands down say that it is the best mascara I have ever used. Although it is on the pricier side, it's definitely worth every penny!

The fourth make up essential is a black eye liner. You can use it to create many different looks, such as a sweep on your lash line or a elongated cat eye. A black eye liner will never fail you, whether you're nipping into town or going out to a party. I'm currently using the Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner, I haven't tested whether it lasts 24 hours, but it definitely stays on throughout the day! The tip is a really useful size, thin enough to do just a basic line, yet buildable for more dressy looks.

Next on the list is a decent sized make up bag. They are so useful for keeping your everyday make up in one place as well as for travel. I use a Victoria’s Secret one, admittedly it's always in my hand bag filled with on the go necessities, big enough for perfume bottles and brushes, however I can't fit my palettes in it which is a tad annoying.

The sixth product that I just couldn't live without is bronzer, which can be used to give an all over sun kissed look or even a subtle contour. The past three months I have been using the Benefit Hoola bronzer religiously. It's carried me through from spring to summer due to its awesome buildable form. The brush included is perfect for defining the jaw line.

Another make up item that I use at the start of every look is primer. I find that it makes such a different overall, as well as making my make up last a lot longer. I use the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser, I'm in love with how soft and smooth it leaves my skin feeling, it also gently coats any pores meaning that they are easier to conceal.

The eighth product that I wanted to mention in this post is the importance of having a lipstick that is versatile enough to be worn at any time of the year, in conjunction with a ride range of looks. Personally, my all time favourite lipstick is Mac’s Velvet Teddy, it's a gorgeous nude that I always turn to when I'm unsure of what lipstick to wear.

Now onto brows, a brow kit is an essential, who doesn't want they're brows to look on fleek? The first eyebrow product I ever tried was the Sleek Brow Kit, and I'm still using it. It comes with a handy mirror, tweezers, wax, setting powder, an angled brush and a rounded brush. It stays on all day once you have set it, what more could you possibly want in a brow kit.

Last but not least, my final essential is a blusher. For the days you wake up late or got next to no sleep, blusher will add a natural flush to your face. I use the L’Oreal Paris Le Blush in 120 Sandalwood Pink. I love how natural it looks, a my cheeks but better blush. Blush makes you look so much more awake and healthy, even if your still half asleep!

I think it's really important to have a basic look you can always turn to when low on time or lacking inspiration. I hope you enjoyed reading this, and got some ideas on some new products to try. What are your make up essentials? Leave a comment below letting me know, and stay tuned for my next blog post! Have a good day!

Key Clothing And Products For My Style

Hi guys! Today I thought I would tell you about my key clothing and products for my style. I'd like to describe my style as classy but wearable. I like neutral colours and my favourite pattern is stripes. My style inspiration is Binky Felstead, I admire how she always looks put together and elegant. Here are five things that I base my look around on a regular basis.

First up are my black Nike Roshe Run trainers that come in at £70. I would say that they are worth every penny and I definitely recommend them. No doubt these shoes are the comfiest trainers that have ever graced my feet. I love the lightweight material, which makes them suitable to wear all year round, even in the summer when many people stay away from wearing trainers. This lightweight material also allows your feet to breathe. Great for working out in, yet equally as appropriate to wear when going out with friends, Nike Roshe’s are suitable for almost any occasion.

My second key clothing piece are my Topshop Hayden Jeans which were £42. These jeans have a relaxed fit like mom jeans, they sit just above the belly button and can be rolled up at the ankles. A nice alternative to skinnies, Hayden jeans make crops tops so much more wearable and classy. Effortlessly stylish yet comfortable, I don't have to worry about sitting down or feeling bloated when wearing these. I love the pockets, which can actually fit your phone in unlike the useless ones that are sewn on just for effect!

Thirdly, my favourite scent I have discovered this year, the Zoella Sweet Inspirations body mist, which is £8. This beautiful scent which smells like macaroons totally blew my mind, I wasn't expecting such a sophisticated scent upon purchasing. Considering the price, it smells so much more luxury. I love the attention to detail, the gold lid and attractive packaging, right down to the spritzer which distributes the product perfectly. The heavenly smell lasts all day, without ever being overpowering.

The next thing is my black Topshop watch. Timeless pieces are a key part of your wardrobe, things that you'll be able to wear now and in a year's time. I love taking a simple outfit and adding accessories to take it to the next level. Black is a versatile colour meaning that this watch will go with virtually anything. The pretty gold detailing on the clasps and the outer rim of the watch add a hint of luxury.

Finally, we have my beloved H&M handbag which I brought for £29.99. I don't know where I would be without this bag, perfect for school or college, sleepovers and even trips to the beach. I'm one of those people who can't go out without having everything they could possible need if an unsuspected situation arose, this large bag with multiple pockets and sections caters to my needs. If you're anything like me, you definitely should consider getting this bag!

I hope you enjoyed finding out about the clothes and products I couldn't live without! My personal style has been heavily influenced by all sorts of different people. Comment below what your style must haves are!

A Bit About Me

Hey, welcome to my blog! I’m a teenage girl living in the UK with a passion for anything and everything to do with makeup, fashion, and of course, beauty. After binge watching makeup tutorials on Youtube and reading endless beauty blogs for the past few years, I finally came to the conclusion that I wanted my own space to share my thoughts and opinions on these topics with the world. 

As a student who studies art, the bridge between art and makeup fascinates me. I suppose you could say makeup is my favourite type of art. I love how you start with a blank canvas and are able to express yourself by creating whatever look you desire, just like when you are painting a picture or scribbling down a drawing onto a piece of paper.

My other hobbies and interests include reading (especially poetry) and writing, which I have enjoyed ever since I was a little girl. I’m a feminist, I strongly believe that women deserve equality in all aspects of life. I absolutely adore every kind of animal, although my favourite are cats. I enjoy music on completely opposite ends of the spectrum, if you put my Spotify on shuffle mode it would go from Nirvana to Craig David to Pink Floyd to Eminem in the space of 20 minutes.

Thank you for sticking around and reading this, I hope you will join me on my journey into the world of beauty!
