Micellar Water Review (2025 Edition): Still My Go-To Cleanser!


Way back in 2014, the beauty world went absolutely nuts for this Micellar Water, and honestly? The hype was REAL. 

It was like gold dust at the time - sold out everywhere or priced at a fiver if you were lucky. Fast forward to 2025, and you can now grab it pretty much anywhere for around £6.

And yep, I still swear by it. 


This stuff is a game-changer for lazy skincare nights (which, let’s be honest, is most nights). I used to be the person who regularly crashed out with a full face of makeup or half-heartedly wiped it off with a makeup wipe if I could be bothered. But this magical water? It’s made me actually take my makeup off before bed!

Most nights, I only need one cotton pad and a few drops of Micellar Water to melt away all the makeup and grime. If I’ve gone all-out for a night out, maybe I’ll use two pads. But that’s it. I don’t wear a ton of makeup on a daily basis, but it tackles even the heavier stuff like a pro.


No fragrance, no fuss, no irritation - just clean skin that feels refreshed and ready for bed. And since I’ve been using it, I’ve definitely noticed my skin looking a lot less blotchy in the mornings. It’s so much better than waking up with that grimy, smudged mascara look.

It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for me? It’s a skincare staple I’ll be repurchasing again and again.

Have you tried Micellar Water? Love it or hate it? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

The Jewellery Trends to Watch in 2025


Jewellery is one of those things that never really goes out of style - it just evolves! And 2025 is shaping up to be all about personalisation, meaning, and a little bit of extra sparkle. Gone are the days of grabbing whatever is ‘on trend’; now, people are looking for pieces that actually mean something, whether it’s a custom-engraved necklace, a symbolic gemstone, or a timeless investment piece that will last a lifetime.

With social media making it easier than ever to find unique jewellery gifts, there’s no excuse for uninspired presents! Whether you’re treating yourself (because why not?) or shopping for a loved one, here are some of the biggest jewellery trends for 2025 that make perfect gifts.

Piercings: The More, the Merrier!

The piercing trend is still going strong, and 2025 is all about curated ear stacks, dainty studs, and tiny hoops. Whether it’s a second or third lobe piercing, a helix hoop, or a dainty opal belly button ring, there’s something for everyone. The best part? These are small but meaningful gifts that let the recipient express their personal style. Plus, with so many gorgeous designs available, it’s never been easier to mix and match for a unique look.

Bracelet Watches: Style Meets Function

If there’s one thing that never goes out of style, it’s a classic timepiece. But in 2025, bracelet watches are making a serious comeback. Think elegant metal straps, delicate links, and a touch of sparkle. Whether for everyday wear or a special occasion, a beautiful bracelet watch is both a stylish and practical gift. Bonus points if you get it engraved with a meaningful message!

Crystal Rings: A Little Magic on Your Finger

Crystals are more than just beautiful - they carry meaning, energy, and a sense of magic. That’s why crystal rings are set to be huge this year. Whether it’s a rose quartz ring for love, an amethyst for calm vibes, or a citrine for positivity, these rings make for thoughtful and personal gifts. They’re perfect for stacking or wearing solo, and they add an ethereal touch to any outfit.

Gold Diamond Rings: Classic & Timeless

If you’re looking for a gift that’s an instant heirloom, you can’t go wrong with a gold diamond ring. Whether it’s a delicate solitaire, a vintage-inspired band, or a bold statement piece, these rings are more than just accessories - they’re investments in timeless beauty. And the best part? They can be engraved with initials, dates, or even a personal message, making them even more special.

Layered Necklaces: Mix, Match & Personalise

Why wear one necklace when you can wear three? Layering delicate chains with charms, initials, and symbolic pendants is a huge trend right now, and it’s set to continue well into 2025. This is a great gift idea because you can personalise it to suit someone’s style, birthstone, or favourite symbols. Plus, they can mix and match pieces for a look that’s all their own.

Final Thoughts

Jewellery trends are always changing, but the focus for 2025 is clear - personalised, meaningful, and timeless pieces that hold sentimental value. Whether you’re shopping for a birthday, an anniversary, or just because, there’s a perfect piece out there for everyone. And let’s be honest, a little extra sparkle never hurt anyone!

Are any of these trends calling your name? Let me know in the comments!

6 Rules for Clothing Shopping You Need to Know


Let’s be honest - shopping for new clothes can be a mix of excitement and regret. 

One minute you’re convinced you’ve found the perfect outfit, and the next, you’re wondering why you ever thought neon yellow was your colour. (Spoiler: It probably isn’t.) To save you from fashion disasters and impulse-buy regrets, here are six golden rules to follow when shopping for new clothes.

1. Know Your Body Shape (And Dress for It!)


Not every trend is made for every body, and that’s absolutely fine. The key to looking effortlessly stylish is understanding what works for your shape. If you’re not sure, ask a brutally honest friend or try on different silhouettes to see what flatters you best. Baggy clothes may feel comfy, but if they drown your shape, they aren’t doing you any favours. Likewise, super-tight clothing might not be the most practical choice if you value breathing.

2. Quality Over Quantity – Always!


It’s so easy to get lured in by fast fashion prices, but let’s be real - some of those pieces won’t survive a single wash. Instead of stuffing your wardrobe with cheap, flimsy clothing, invest in well-made staples. High-quality fabric and good stitching go a long way in keeping your clothes looking fresh and lasting longer. A little extra cost upfront can save you loads in the long run.

3. Will You Actually Wear It? Be Honest!


That sequined dress looks stunning in the changing room, but unless you’ve got an endless supply of glamorous events to attend, it’s likely to collect dust in your wardrobe. When buying clothes, ask yourself: Where will I wear this? How often? If you can’t think of at least three different occasions, maybe leave it on the rack.

4. Experiment with Styles (But Know Your Limits)


Fashion is meant to be fun, so don’t be afraid to try new things! That being said, not every trend is worth diving into headfirst. If you’re unsure about a bold pattern or a risky colour, start small - maybe a scarf or accessories instead of a full outfit. There’s a fine line between fashion-forward and fashion-what-was-I-thinking?

5. When in Doubt, Go for Neutrals


If you’re standing in a shop paralysed by choice, neutrals will never let you down. Black, grey, white, navy, and beige are versatile and effortlessly stylish. They also make mixing and matching a breeze, meaning you get more outfits out of fewer pieces. Once you’ve nailed the neutrals, then you can throw in some statement colours.

6. Accessories Make Everything Better


A good outfit can become a great outfit with the right accessories. Whether it’s a classic watch, a statement necklace, or even a funky pair of shoes, the little details can make a huge difference. Plus, accessories are an easy (and often cheaper) way to refresh your wardrobe without needing a full overhaul.

Final Thoughts

Clothes shopping should be a fun experience, not a stressful one. Keep these rules in mind, and you’ll be making smarter, more confident fashion choices in no time. 

So, what’s your go-to shopping rule? Let me know in the comments - I need to know I’m not the only one with a wardrobe full of ‘what was I thinking’ purchases! 😂

Money-Making Hacks: Smart Ways to Earn Extra Cash


Let’s be real - sometimes you just need a bit of extra cash, whether it’s for a treat-yourself moment, covering those pesky bills, or finally ticking something off your wishlist. The good news? There are plenty of ways to bring in some extra dosh without selling a kidney (or your soul to a job you hate). Here are a few ideas that might just give your bank balance the boost it needs!

1. Rent Out Your Spare Space 🏡

If you’ve got a spare room (or even your whole place) that sits empty every now and then, why not turn it into an Airbnb? Whether you’re off on holiday or just have a bit of extra space, letting it out short-term could be a nice little earner. Just make sure you’ve got a good listing, some fresh bedding, and preferably no haunted house vibes.

2. Sell Stuff You No Longer Use 📦

We all have that drawer of doom full of stuff we don’t need. Clothes that don’t fit, gadgets collecting dust, books you swore you’d read but never did - stick it all on Vinted, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace and turn that clutter into cash. Bonus: your home will feel tidier, and you’ll have more space for, well... more stuff.

3. Try Dropshipping 📦💻

Dropshipping sounds fancy, but it’s basically running an online shop without having to stock any products yourself. You just list the items, and when someone buys, the supplier ships it directly to them. Less hassle, no storage nightmares, and all the potential for extra income. Just pick a niche people are into - dog accessories, eco-friendly swaps, quirky homeware - and go from there!

4. Offer a Service on the Side 💼

If you’re good at something (and let’s be honest, you totally are), why not turn it into a side hustle? Whether it’s social media management, graphic design, tutoring, or dog walking, people will pay for your skills. Sign up to platforms like Fiverr or Upwork, or just put the word out on social media - you might be surprised how many people need what you offer!

5. Take on Paid Surveys & Market Research 📝💰

Okay, you won’t get rich from filling out surveys, but it’s an easy way to make a few extra quid while sitting on the sofa. Sites like Prolific, YouGov, or Swagbucks pay you for your opinions, and some even offer product testing gigs (free stuff + money? Yes, please!).

6. Cashback & Reward Apps = Free Money 💸🛍️

If you’re not using cashback apps, you’re basically leaving free money on the table. Sign up to Quidco or TopCashback, do your usual shopping, and watch the pennies add up. You can also get rewarded for walking (Sweatcoin), scanning receipts (Shoppix), or even playing games (Mistplay). It’s money for doing stuff you’d be doing anyway - what’s not to love?

These are just a few fun and flexible ways to bring in some extra cash without turning your life upside down. Whether you’re saving for something special or just want to pad out your rainy day fund, a little effort can go a long way.

Have you tried any of these? Or got another brilliant money-making hack? Drop it in the comments - I’d love to hear what’s worked for you!

Master Game Night: Fun Tips to Boost Your Board Game Skills!



If you're anything like me, board games aren't just a rainy-day activity - they're serious business. Whether you're a hardcore strategist or just here for the snacks and a good time, there’s always room to up your game (pun absolutely intended). So, if you're ready to go from casual player to board game boss, here are a few tips to help you crush it on game night!

Play the Part


Let’s be honest - half the fun of board games is the vibe. So why not lean into it? Treat yourself to some fancy dice, stylish card sleeves, or even a quirky game-themed mug. Not only will you feel like a pro, but you might just intimidate your opponents a little (and that's a win in my book). Plus, having your own personalised game bits makes every game night feel extra special.

Mix It Up


Sure, you could stick to Monopoly and Cluedo forever, but where’s the fun in that? Trying different types of games - from strategy-heavy ones like Catan to chaotic party games like Exploding Kittens - can help you pick up new skills. Each game teaches you something different: negotiation, bluffing, teamwork… even how to pretend you’re not furious when someone steals your last property set. Plus, digital versions of board games and online tabletop simulators are perfect for solo practice.

Actually Read the Rules (Yes, Really)


We all know someone who tries to wing it after a five-second glance at the rulebook. Don’t be that person. Knowing the rules inside and out can give you a massive advantage. Plus, understanding the mechanics can help you spot sneaky strategies or game-breaking combos. Bonus points if you read the FAQ sections - that’s where the real gold is hidden!

Practice Makes Perfect


If you're diving into a new game, give it a practice run. Play a couple of rounds solo or with a patient friend before game night. There are loads of online platforms where you can try games for free, or you could even download something like Tabletop Simulator to get familiar with the gameplay. Turning up prepared? Iconic behaviour.

Train Your Brain


Board games aren’t just luck - they’re brain games too! Sharpen those mental skills with brain training apps or puzzle games. The more you flex that logic muscle, the better you’ll be at strategising, planning ahead, and maybe even bluffing like a champ. Sudoku today, world domination tomorrow.

Stay Chill (Even When You’re Losing)


Let’s be real - no one likes a sore loser or a gloating winner. Board games are about having fun (and maybe a bit of healthy competition). Keep it light-hearted, laugh off your losses, and remember it’s just a game - unless you’re playing for snacks, in which case, all bets are off.

So, there you have it - a few fun ways to level up your board game skills and maybe even snag a win or two. Got any game night tips or favourite games? Drop them in the comments; I’m always looking for new games to obsess over!

Happy gaming!

Latest Beauty Purchases


You know that feeling when you hit “Add to Basket” and it feels like a mini victory? Yep, that’s been me recently with a few exciting beauty purchases! These are all new additions to my stash, so while I haven’t tried them out yet, you can bet I’ll be putting them to the test over the coming weeks and months. Keep an eye out for full reviews soon - but for now, here’s what I’ve got my hands on:

NYX Buttermelt Blush - Butta Together


First up, I couldn’t resist this buttery beauty in the shade 02 Soft Pink. It promises booming pigment, an easy blend, and a formula infused with mango, almond, and shea butter - basically a tropical holiday for your cheeks. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and claims to last 12 hours without fading or transferring. I’m already planning to pair it with the bronzer (more on that in a sec!) for a sun-kissed look. Let’s hope it lives up to the butta hype!

NYX Buttermelt Bronzer - All Butta’d Up


Another NYX gem! This bronzer boasts the same dreamy formula as the blush, blending like a powder but gliding on like, well, butter. I went for the shade All Butta’d Up, and it’s designed for an all-day, transfer-resistant, fade-proof glow. I can’t wait to sweep it on and pretend I’ve just returned from a sunny getaway rather than another day in dreary weather.

Revolution Reloaded Highlighter - Golden Lights


Who doesn’t love a good glow-up? This highlighter is said to deliver intense pigment and a silky shimmer that brightens your complexion in all the right ways. I’m excited to try it on my cheekbones, nose, and even the inner corners of my eyes for that extra pop of glow. Let’s see if it gives me that “lit from within” vibe or if I’ll just look like a disco ball (fingers crossed for the former!).

Collection IncrediBrow Brow Kit - Blonde 1


Brows are life, right? This all-in-one kit has three blendable powders, a clear brow gel, and an angled brush, so I’m feeling pretty confident it’ll handle all my brow-related needs. Whether I’m going for natural or bold, it seems like this little compact has me covered. Plus, it’s handbag-friendly, so I’ll be ready for any brow emergencies on the go.


First Impressions & What’s Next

I’ve got high hopes for this lot! Over the next few months, I’ll be putting them to the test to see if they live up to their claims. Watch this space for my honest reviews!

If you’ve tried any of these, let me know your thoughts - or if there’s something else you’re loving at the moment, share it in the comments!

Ways A Virtual Assistant Can Help You In 2025


Ah, January - the month of fresh starts, big plans, and attempting to undo the festive damage (to both your waistline and your wallet). It’s also been the perfect time to give your business a little TLC and set it up for success.

Blog Posts? No Problem.
Blogging is a fantastic way to boost your website’s SEO and keep your audience engaged—but who’s got the time? Spoiler alert: I do. I’ll craft content that’s not just consistent but captivating too.


Why Hire Me?

I’ve spent over two years helping business owners breathe easier by taking time-consuming tasks off their plates. Whether it’s admin, social media, or creating standout content, I’m your go-to for getting things done.

Here’s what my clients say they love about working with me:

✨ My creativity 
✨ My reliability 
✨ My knack for making the process easy and stress-free

So, why not kickstart the year with a little extra support? Let’s create a plan that works for you and your goals.
