Face Your Fears at Scarborough Sea Life Sanctuary
During the half term from 26th October to 1st November as well as all the usual fishy fun you would find at the Sea Life Centres you can also get hands on with some other creepy crawlies & creatures at no extra cost. Last week we were lucky enough to be added to the press guest list at the Scarborough Sea Life Centre & invited along to their special "Face Your Fears" event. I knew this would be right up Amelias street so accepted the challenge.

My First Look Book - Plus Size
Although I love having a blog as an outlet for my beauty ramblings & other things, you may not be aware that since January 2014 I have also had a completely separate YouTube channel for diarising my weight loss journey. As its something else I am really passionate about I thought I would share it here on my blog too.

Scatty About Scandi
This time 4 weeks ago i didn't even know what "SCANDI" was. I have been actively improving my home for over a year now & room by room it's coming together nicely. Pinterest has been my main source of inspiration & then when i realised much of what attracted me originated in Norway, i hit up Airbnb to look at REAL Norwegian homes & that is when i found out that my style was what is better known as Scandi.

My High End Wish List
I have never been a label whore & although i love to follow trends & fashion i can never seem to justify the price tag enough to indulge myself. However, sometimes a girl likes to dream & the other morning i was doing just that. Not quite awake i sat nursing my coffee & thinking about what i'd purchase if i ever had a small windfall & here is what i found myself lusting after.....

Makeup For All Weathers
On the hot & sunny day when the idea for this post popped into my head i was going to entitle it "SWEAT PROOF MAKEUP, but alas the British weather took a turn for the worse & the main nemesis for my makeup was the rain! Both are a problem in themselves when all you want is a fresh face of makeup that lasts all day, so here i share my "Top Makeup For All Weathers".

Fun Free Things To Do With The Kids In The Holidays
Having 6 weeks off with the kids can be somewhat overwhelming so imagine my horror when i found out that this year our little princess had 7 weeks off! I have researched some fun free & low cost activities & days out with the kids & thought i would share my findings with all you Mummies & Daddies out there wondering what the heck you can do to fill those long hot(hopefully) weeks.

Sweet Cecily's Handmade Natural Skincare
When I heard a brand local to me who make handmade natural skincare were seeking Bloggers to sample some of their products I jumped at the chance. Sweet Cecily's is a brand that blossomed from one lady with troublesome skin trying to find her holy grail skincare. When she didn't find it, she went ahead & developed it herself!

May Makeup Favourites
May was a funny old month wasn't it & although the weather changed from day to day my make up routine has stayed the same pretty much all of Spring. As you can see by the picture above, many of my products are running scarily low. This however is a good thing as i am itching to crack open some gorgeous new make up that i have put by for the Summer months. For now though, lets take a look at whats been on my face for the past few months........

I have read many beauty blog posts about high end products, i have read many about high street products, but rarely do i see any blog posts about the unsung heroes of beauty. Yes those overlooked, somewhat boring but yet essential items that to be quite frank, we'd be lost without. Here are my top 5 budget beauty essentials & all are under £1!

Discover Crabtree & Evelyn
Have you heard of a brand called Crabtree & Evelyn? Did you know that there is much more to them than meets the eye? How many of you have seen a store front just like the one below & walked on by with a preconception that it wouldn't really be your cup of tea?
I can fully admit that i too was one of those people, that was until i was invited to the launch event for Garden Celebration. Now i invite you to come inside & take a peek as i'm sure you'll be as surprised & delighted as i was.

INTERIOR DECOR ON A BUDGET - FINISHING TOUCHES
As the owner of what can only be described as a poky Barratt house, for the ten years we have owned the property it has evolved into a more chilled domain when it comes to decor. I used to love such trends as two bright colours separated by a gaudy paper border in the middle or thinking that moss green & terracotta orange went together perfectly. I'm showing my age now!
Above is a collection of just a few of my favourite items that i have found whilst researching for what i call, "things to titivate" my bedroom. I know how costly it can be when looking to update/refurbish/redecorate a room, so i thought i would share one of my favourite places to source those little finishing touches.

BIRTHDAY MAKEOVER TREATS FROM CHANEL
On my birthday i got to spend one glorious hour with a stunning Chanel make-up artist in HOUSE OF FRASER at Meadowhall. I was planning to replace my Mac mineralise skin finish natural(Medium) anyway, as i had hit pan some weeks ago. I'd read a lot of rave reviews about LES BEIGES & seen what this finely milled powder could do through watching demo videos over on YouTube. So when the lovely Chanel lady mentioned that i could redeem the £25 from a makeover on Chanel products i thought it would be rude not to plop my behind down on her bar stool.
