Hey everyone, Well, as always, it's been a fair ol' while since I published on here (about a month if I'm exact)! Why?Life just got crazy! To be fair it's my own fault - I have two children and their birthdays fall on the 20th November and the 20th December so I only have myself to blame, but I've also had 11+ results and school applications to think about, numerous school dress up/down days to sort out and also Christmas planning so I kind of feel I'm living my life in one of those 1970's spin dryers!!!! My life has literally become one long crazy "to-do" list that I'm barely making an indent into it right now.  On the plus side though, my other little sideline, Hariam Jewellery & Accessories has been doing really well and I've loved putting aside all the stresses and strains and sometimes just spending an entire day making new pieces of jewellery or completing orders for customers.  Thank you to everyone who has supported both my ...

It's been fairly quiet on the "favourites" front this month.  I don't feel like I've really changed much since October in terms of make up and skincare routines.  To be honest, I think Christmas and Birthdays have been taking up a lot of my time and I've resolved to be so better organised this year as I always end up in a complete flap come Christmas Eve.

Another firm favourite has been the Rimmel Fix and Perfect primer. I really can't describe how nourished it makes my skin feel.  I'm nearly at the end of the bottle and will definitely re-purchase.  This has featured in my October favourites which I'll link here  if you want to have a more de...

How can I even be writing this?? I know I say this every month but I really can't believe we are in November already and another My Little Box has landed on my doorstep. I'd seen a few spoilers this month so knew slightly what to expect when it came to the artwork on the box, but it was still beautiful to see.  The box has "Goodnight" written on the top over the backdrop of a gorgeous night sky.  I love trying to guess the theme from the name and quickly try and work out what products may be inside. First in the box is the monthly glossy My Little World mini-mag.  This is a feature in every box and I love it for a little night-time read before I go to bed.  There is also a little artwork card with a sketch on the front of a girl pulling the duvet up and closing her eyes and on the back is a little explanation as to the thought behind this month's box. The first lifestyle item I came across is an eye mask.  The quality of this...
