Mother Nature gave us a teasing taste of fall the other day and while personally, I was loving the cooler weather, I had to laugh at people in coats. They are probably the same people who wear shorts as soon as the first hint of spring hits too. As much as I hate the heat, […]

Quo by Orly Rooftop Lounge #AlphabetNails
The alphabet of nail polish challenge is back this week and for R I chose Quo by Orly Color Amp’d in Rooftop Lounge. Color Amp’d polishes have flexible technology so they resist dings and scratches, great for when you want to stamp over them in a hurry. Rooftop Lounge is a gel finish bright teal […]
HollyBerry Natural Skin & Body Care
I love finding local makers for my beauty supplies. You can find some really unique handmade/indie products plus what you save on shipping buying locally, you can spend on actual stuff! The upcoming Craftadian show at McMaster Innovation Park on Saturday 27th August featured a couple of beauty makers that I was keen to check […]
DAVIDsTEA Supreme Pekoe
On to the next of the new limited edition traditional teas from DavidsTea this summer, Supreme Pekoe. I had high expectations for this one, I love black teas and as a “supreme pekoe” it had to be good right? They promise a smooth cuppa of plain black tea giving a rich, malty and bold blend that […]
Help, I Have Fallen In Love With Kitties and Cabernet!

You know how many […]
When Colours Collide – Red, Purple & Black With No Stamping
I finally jumped on the When Colours Collide bandwagon in time for a no stamping challenge. I am not 100% in love with my look but I guess that is part of the challenge, doing things you would not usually do. I also could not decide what to do, so went with skittle nails and […]
Avon Mark. Touch and Glow Cream Shimmer Bars
My pale skin sticks out in summer. In winter, no one really notices, everyone else is paler so you don’t seem quite so pale. But in summer, Irish skin is so noticeable. So I try to add as much colour as possible while still looking natural but it can be hard adding multiple products which […]
The Body Shop Summer Essentials
Last week I shared some of The Body Shop’s Summer Essentials for your face and today I have some of my favourites for the body to share. Summer is all about fresh looking skin and since I am pale and need to fake tan, major exfoliation! On top of that, spending the summer in sandals […]
Cirque Dear Dahlia Swatch & Nail Art
Taking a break from the alphabet nails series this week to share a retired shade from Cirque with some nail stamping. I wore this last week and had to take some photos to share. Cirque Dear Dahlia is a fuchsia jelly with multi-dimensional shimmer that shows mostly green but has gold to red shifts. The shimmer […]
