About me

A thirty-something who loves food, beauty and the nice little things in life.

I started this as a creative outlet, somewhere I could funnel ideas into, write my thoughts and illustrate reviews with photos. Rather than try and remember a great place I'd been to or a fabulous new cream I'd tried, it seemed simpler just to take a picture and write about it.  

Growing up in a foodie family has given me a lust for cooking and eating good food, recipe books and photographing dishes. My passion for flavours is only equaled by my passion for beauty, I confess to being a bit of a product junkie....

Although I will eat almost anything (kidneys, celery and oysters are of the few things I won't), I'm very conscious about what goes on and into my skin, and will not use anything that contains Mineral Oils, Silicones or Parabens. I've applied this regime to my skincare for the last 10 years and have also extended it to my make up. I only use natural products, organic where possible, and in terms of make up, I'm a "less is more" kind of girl. There are so many fantastic alternatives out there to chemically overloaded cosmetics that you no longer have to compromise on performance, design or price, and my aim is to share these with you.

I hope this blog can inspire and inform you, and that you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. If you have any ideas or suggestions, or know of any great brand or product you would like me to feature, please email me!
