The Dry Shampoo Battle

Even when my locks are freshly washed, I like to use Dry Shampoo to style it. I just find it adds a little grit and texture to my hair making it easier to style, and hold it’s volume. Also, I find that my hair gets oily quickly these days, and 24 hours after washing, I…

The Review: Revlon Colourburst Matte Balms

These pencil style lipsticks appear to be taking the beauty world by storm the last six months or so. As a general rule, I’m a fan, they’re easy to apply without a mirror, and they fit in my handbag nicely.

The Stationery Edit

Anyone who knows me well will be able to tell you that I’m a total stationery junkie. I’m obsessed with notebooks and pens and listmaking, and I get just as excited over a good notebook, as I do a limited edition NARS blusher. My mum actually thinks its hilarious how excited I get, she still…

Cooking With Jaye: S'mores Brownies

 I’m not a massive chocolate fan, I don’t like chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, hot chocolate or chocolate milkshakes. I can never even finish a small bar of chocolate, but these were amazing. Brownies are one of the few chocolatey goodies that I do like, although I’m pretty fussy, I like ’em cakey but the…
