Can you believe it’s April already? Spring is finally here and it brought some lovely sunshine to us last week. I adore this time of year and it feels like we could all do with some positivity right now.
While autumn is my favourite season, spring brings new beginnings, pastel colours and beautiful flowers. Grab a cup of tea and keep reading for reasons why I love spring.
Read MoreWelcome to the first edition of My Monthly Playlist! I will be sharing the music I have been listening to and enjoying each month. My music taste is very varied so I recognise that this won’t be for everyone, but I’ve always enjoyed going to concerts and listening to music and wanted to share it with you.
The music I’ve chosen to listen to this month is a mix of both motivating and relaxing. As I’m working from home, I need music which helps me to power through tasks, and also more chilled music for those times I need to wind down and send a few emails.

For a weekend get-a-way, my boyfriend and I travelled to the Bakewell in the Peak District for three nights. We stayed in a sweet cottage called ‘The Bothy’ that we found on Airbnb. Even though it was a rainy few days, we still made the most of the countryside and had a great time!

The day I discovered highlighter products was a very good day for me. Not only do I get to look glittery on an everyday basis, it’s genuinely a fun makeup product to use. It doesn’t feel like a necessity to wear so it makes applying makeup a little less of a chore in the morning.

Cruelty free beauty and skincare is becoming more in demand by the day. I have been using cruelty free products for almost a year now and it is definitely something I would recommend that you do, too! I have discovered a lot of new products since going cruelty free, all of which are friendly to animals. Ever since I decided to do this however, I have been searching for a cruelty free subscription box.
The Pip Box is a cruelty free beauty subscription box whereby you can subscribe monthly or for three months. I went for the three month plan and received my first box, the March box, very recently. I was so excited to see what arrived inside and I have been introduced to many new cruelty free brands already.
This Valentine’s Day focus on loving yourself and your body. Self-love is one of the best things ever, you feel more confident within yourself and you definitely feel happier for it. Moisturising your skin is just one way to make yourself feel wonderful and soft!
One of the ways I’ve been practicing self-love in my ‘me-time’ over the past few weeks, is by using the Dr Botanicals Moroccan Rose & Shea Butter Body Repairing Cream. While this product does have a very long title, it does exactly what it says on the tin.
