Speedy review time...... yea?
If you've previously read any of my empties posts you'll know I'm TERRIBLE for keeping it short!
But sure I'll keep trying.
Food | New Kid On The Block: Kitchen Trotter
Wednesday, 27 January 2016
I've been on a hunt recently for some new and exciting monthly subscription boxes to try, I wanted to keep my wee postman on his toes y'see and when the lovely folk over at Kitchen Trotter asked if I'd like to try out one of their monthly subscription boxes, I just KNEW he'd love delivering me some new goodies.
So bright and early this morning I received my first Kitchen Trotter Box*. Priced at £29.99 for a one off box it is on the higher end of the price scale for a monthly subscription box but they do have some offers if you were to sign up to a 6 or 12 month plan (see here).

Beauty | Mini Post Christmas Lush Haul
Monday, 25 January 2016
I'm a complete bargain hunter, I'm not going to fib - who doesn't love a good bargain?!
I've said it many times on the blog before that I am ALSO a huge fan of LUSH and have no regrets when I use a full bubble bar or bathbomb in one bath, sure it may be a bit of a waste on money but pretty bathtime treats are one of the few vices I have these days #oldcow
I know many bloggers are running out to LUSH everytime a new collection is released but I want the cheap stuff guys. So of course I'm going to head into the LUSH sale and see what I could nab at half price.
I'll also admit here that I did actually place an order online around Boxing day - that order came to over £80! I slapped myself silly and had to phone and cancel it, £80 on bath products was just going to go a little OTT...I spent that £80 on pretty boots instead, 'cos y'know... a girl gotta have some good boots!
Anyway, I decided to just pop to my local store instead and see if there was anything left - to my surprise even three weeks after the sale got going, LUSH Belfast still had LOADS left.

Lifestyle | George @ Asda Homewear Wishlist
Thursday, 21 January 2016
Are George at ASDA killing it right now or what?!
I've been obsessed with their homewear now for a good few months, so affordable and great quality that I just couldn't help but add but add another few items onto my wishlist.
My style ...if you'd even call it a STYLE is a bit of a jumble. I've never been one of those sleek white, minimalist types. I love rustic goodies, geeky accessories, quirky lamps and dark gothic furniture. I featured a wishlist from Abigail Ahern a few months ago (here) and I feel like ASDA are really pulling some inspiration from her pieces recently with their bold homewears. It fills me with much excitement.
Beauty | Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation Review
Friday, 15 January 2016

I'm such a sucker for pretty packaging and I'll admit that when I bought my first Kat Von D make up item (eyeliner, obvs) it was purely based on the aesthetics - just look at the pretty packaging!!
