Yep, we are at 11 months already. I can't believe that my gorgeous little boy will be 1 next month. It only feels like a month ago that I was bringing him home. Part of me isn't ready for him to be 1 but another part of me is so excited to grow up and… Continue reading Spencer’s 11 month update
So I was going to write a few sentences in an attempt to make you guess which palette I was talking about but then that would be pretty pointless because, you know, there is literally a photo of it above. I didn't want to just take a photo of my eye because it does that… Continue reading The £5 eyeshadow palette I’m obsessed with
A year ago, I became an English Language and Spanish graduate from Bangor University. Fun story by Stephanie Clayton, aged 23 and 3/4. No but seriously, I spent four years preparing for this day (not physically- although if you're wearing fake tan then preparing a few days before is key. Last minute tan+rain=disaster.) Anyway, let's… Continue reading The Graduate: One year on
Ok, so I don't actually know if you can really class three things as a haul, but you know, for the sake of this post we are going along with it. The first thing is something that everyone and their dog has been talking about and already owns, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette.… Continue reading Beauty Bay haul
Ok, so I'm fully aware that my last post was his 9 month update that I posted last week but life's hard when you're lazy/ have an active baby to look after. Since the last update, he has more confidence when he stands up and he has started to be able to stand unsupported for… Continue reading Spencer: 10 month update
Ok, so he has actually been 9 months for a week now but let's just ignore the fact I'm a bit late with this. I can't believe I have a nine month old. I feel he has learned a lot this past month and his cheeky little personality is coming through so strongly now. This… Continue reading Spencer: 9 month update
Since having a baby, I have changed my makeup routine frequently. There are, however, some products that I still continue to use because I just can't be without them. I'm not going to mention the standard ones like Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer because that one is bloody obvious. So, let's get to the reason you… Continue reading Drugstore products I always use
There are so many quotes out there to remind you to be careful about what you say. Choose your words wisely. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can also hurt me. Be kind because everyone is fighting their own battles. As it is Mental Health Awareness Week, I thought I would share… Continue reading Choose your words wisely
I'll be honest, this post is inspired by quite a few things. Recently, I read 'The Year of Living Danishly' by Helen Russell, which basically explores Danish culture and what makes them the happiest nation. One thing that seemed to contribute was having a strong work-life balance. That you don't need to put pressure on… Continue reading You’re doing enough
I had the fortune/misfortune (depending on your stance) of attending 2 grammar schools so I thought I'd talk about my experiences of attending a grammar school. It's a long one because trying to sum up seven years of your life is pretty hard so get a drink of your choice. Maybe a snack too. Also… Continue reading What’s a Grammar School really like?
