Get Your Hands & Nails Summer Ready With Julep Hand Model

This time of year is never good for the nails and hands.  Between end of year filing, pulling out all our papers for taxes and a busier load at work, my hands are usually covered in papercuts, I break nails, my cuticles are a mess from catching on files and my skin is worse in […]

EOS Shave Cream Review

As much as I am glad to see the back of winter, it also means shaving daily to wear those pretty spring outfits.  I will totally admit to allowing myself some “extra warmth” by not shaving as regularly in winter, works for animals right?

L’Oreal Oleotherapy Sulfate-Free Oil Infused Hair Care Review

Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Treatment Mask Review

Garnier’s Skin Renew Dark Spot Treatment Mask has been one of my favourite skincare products since they sent me a sample quite some time ago.
