This wasn’t really a post I planned to write, but after having some thoughts about my life plan and some very very preemptive research on wedding ceremonies that led me to some crazy stories about interracial relationships, I thought I’d post my own story (so far) and how I plan to tackle any struggles we…

I’m going to Italy!
I love going to new places. I love the journey, the discovering a different way of life, the change in climate, the food and the sights. If I could get paid to go all over the world and write about it, I would. I am so grateful to be in a position in my life…
Review: Glossybox December 2015
This is the last of my current 3-month glossy box subscription, and to tell you the truth, I am truly in love with it. It’s a rose gold edit, a collaboration with beauty blogger Really Ree and it is giving me great feelings about the coming month, which will be full of parties, food and…
Review: Glossybox November 2015
So, I’ve had a Glossybox subscription for a month and a half now, and even though I didn’t get around to reviewing October’s box (my laptop has had a bit of a keyboard issue so typing out long posts was too much of a chore), I really enjoyed the products. What a great box to…
NICARAGUA 2015: PART 2
El Lagartillo & El Salto After our departure from Las Peñitas, bundling into the back of a camioneta (about 9 of us in total, plus luggage) finishing a gallon of rum made with nancites by a friend, we made the long and boozy journey to El Lagartillo. It was on this journey, somewhere near El…
NICARAGUA 2015: PART 1
Nicaragua was a huge moment in my life, although it didn’t really feel that way at the time. It was my first ever transatlantic experience, the longest time I’d ever been away from my daily life (dull as it may be) and a chance to visit a place that already felt like home to me,…
Happy Anniversary!
This is a slightly belated post, because I’m an imperfect person and I struggle with deadlines, but last Friday it was the five year anniversary of my relationship with Fahad. Those who know me will know that Fahad is, and has been, my complete best friend for the duration of those five years, and I…
BARCELONA 2015
I admit I’m a little late in delivering accounts of my summer holidays, but among the whirlwind of adventures I embarked on this summer, I didn’t have much time! So, one by one I’ll be posting about my holidays to Barcelona & Nicaragua. It was early June when my partner and I visited Barcelona, and…
Review: Bourgeois 1,2,3 Perfect foundation in light vanilla
As a long-term sufferer of blotchy red patches on my skin, particularly in weather extremes, I have been searching everywhere for a very long time for a solution to this that doesn’t have to involve plastering my face in thick layers of concealer, foundation and powder. I know that we should always use makeup with…
Review: Loreal Lumi Magique foundation in Rose Pearl
I am always looking for the best affordable foundation I can find. As a student, only a portion of my income gets spent on beauty products, and I tend to cheap out when it comes to things like nail polish, lip colour and brow pencils. But foundation is such an important factor to creating a…
