I had a spinal fusion surgery on the 16th April 2026, and here is what I took into hospital to either keep me sane, keep my hair in good condition and keep my eczema at bay.

Healthy skin is the foundation—makeup is the finishing touch. These are some makeup products that I have tried and tested multiple times over the years, I used to work on the beauty counter in my local Boots store so I have a lot of opinions regarding brands.

Fragrances that I wear very regularly - as you can tell I love anything Sweet & Fruity. One of my favourite compliments regarding fragrances is that I smell like a sweet treat.

Achieve healthy, glowing skin with a simple, effective routine tailored to your skin type. These are products that have worked for me with my oily/combination skin. My hair care journey has been a long winded one, I have dyed my hair every colour under the sun and damged it to no end.

Over the past two years, I have really rediscovered reading and the joy of falling back in love with getting lost in stories. I fell off reading for a while and these are what helped me.
