My Sentimental Heart

What a month it's been. Whilst I'm struggling to comprehend the absolutely shameful and abhorrent events of the weekend, I'm also keen to try my best to formulate some sort of articulate response to what's happening to the world at the moment. It may very well be a little while in …

As I've mentioned in a host of previous posts, keeping my skin looking at feeling tip top at this time of the year often feels like something of an ongoing battle. With blasts of arctic weather, central heating and a serious lack of Vitamin D, I'm always on the lookout for hero products to…

Whilst I'm a firm believer in the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' philosophy, sometimes there is nothing better than a bit of a change- especially if, like me, you're embracing a 'treat yoself' approach to see you through January. I've never been one for inves…

I don't know about you, but I always tend to find that there's something about January which makes me more eager than usual to embrace a change of scenery and get away from it all. I'm lucky enough to already have a couple of trips in the planning (including a long overdue trip to see …

At this time of the year, contending with the cold can feel like something of an ongoing battle, particularly in the skincare stakes. Whether you're feeling a little bit grey around the gills, are seriously missing the sunshine or dreading another day of dry skin- the toll which winter weather…

Although we're still in the grip of winter, I'm sure that I'm not the only one willing the weeks away until the arrival of the spring. Whilst the shops are still choc-a-bloc with sale bargains a plenty to be snapped up, it's also really lovely to have a little peek at some of the n…

There are few things in life more luxurious than treating yourself to a new perfume, and over the festive season I was lucky enough to become acquainted with a modern classic in the shape of Chanel's Chance. A lovely Christmas surprise, the Eau de Toilette is perfectly practical, and a wonderf…

I don't know about you but I always tend to forget how much of a struggle January is! After the excitement (or in my case, flu filled frustration!) of the weeks leading up to Christmas, it always seems like a crushing anticlimax, with only weeks of chilly weather to wait out until the start of…

A little over a month or so ago, ahead of a much anticipated trip to the Palace theatre to watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, my lovely pal Jessie and I popped along to Bronte on The Strand for a long overdue brunch date. Tucked away on the south side of Trafalgar Square, Bronte is a feast f…

I've posted on a few occasions in the past about how there's nothing better than dressing down at the weekends, and as such I'm always on the lookout for some cosy essentials to add to the casual corner of my wardrobe. In fact, as I type this, I'm kitted out in some luxurious new f…

I don't know about you, but as well as being indulgent in the foodie stakes, the festive season is also one which tends to afford lots of opportunities for sampling lots of beauty treats too. I was lucky to be at home for the Christmas break, so made the most of lazy days by catching up on som…

Hello hello from the second day of a brand new year! However you waved goodbye to 2016, I hope that you had a lovely time- it will probably come as no surprise that I was tucked up in bed by midnight in my new pyjamas after finishing a Harry Potter film marathon- the stuff of dreams in my book! An…
