My 5 Favourite Apps

What did I fill my days with before I had an internet-enabled phone full-to-bursting with apps? (I probably just played Snake, let’s be honest) My phone is always alerting me to the fact that I have no memory left as I collect apps like I collect nail varnish. I am constantly dreaming of the day I can delete the Stocks and Compass app to give me more room for mindless games. So here are my 5 favourite apps: some are fun and some are more useful but they’re all ones I use pretty much every day. Don’t forget to let me know your favourite apps in the comments below – I may have to delete some photos to fit anything new on my phone so really sell your recommendations to me!

My 5 favourite apps: games, periods and social media management...

ALSO this was the day that I dropped my phone because a pigeon flew directly at my face – not shown: the smashed iphone screen and my deep, deep rage. Bloody pigeon.)

My Blogging Equipment: Cameras, Lenses and Laptops…

I recently bought some amazing lenses for my camera and wanted to tell you about them but thought a whole blog post just about the lenses might be a bit dull…so I decided to do a post about all my blogging equipment! From laptop to cameras to lenses and all the bits in between.

Thirty Plus Awards – I Flipping Won!

I have been trying to draft this post all day but I was waiting for it to sink in so that I’d know what to write. Aaaaand I’m still waiting! Ever since I found out I was nominated for three Thirty Plus Awards I have been nervous, excited, terrified, nauseous, thrilled, shocked… all rolled into one.  And last night was the night!

Relatable Not Aspirational

When I decided to start writing about beauty I chose to focus on nails because, although I was just as excited by make up and skincare, I saw this as a great way to talk about beauty without having to show my face to the world.

I have rosacea, a skin condition that means my face is always red and can flare up at any time. I never leave the house without make up and the thought of sharing photos of my bare skin used to fill me with dread. So what changed?
