For those who've followed me for some time or know me personally, you'll know that I lost my little sister to a rare form of Bone Cancer 7 years ago when she was 12. 
Today, she would've turned 20. 
20... I can't even begin to imagine what she would be like now. It's crazy how much it can mess with your head when you start asking the questions you'll never know the answers to..
What would she look like now?  What would she be doing?  Would she have a boyfriend? Would she still be living at home?  Would she be into make up and fashion? 


Sometimes I think about it so hard I have to bring myself out of a trance and shake it off.. I'll never know and there's nothing I can do about it. But what about the future? 
Who's gonna be my Bridesmaid? Who's bridesmaid will I be? Who's going to be an Aunty to my kids? Or make me an aunty? 
I wrote a similar blog over on our 3000 Mile Challenge blog which we're doing next year in her memory to raise mo…

I've stalking Boots.com for ages now as the Mark Hill: Flexi Hot Rods have been on offer but out of stock.. until however, last week it popped up "In stock" and I did a little dance in my office chair! So yes, Boots.com placed in store within minutes and they arrived the next day (love the Boots instore ordering service!). 

Tried them this weekend for the first time and there's definitely some pros and cons!  The packaging is actually quite nice - a bit bright but it's really slick and sturdy and actually quite smart. It does say leave them for up to 25 minutes to heat up but after about 15 I got bored waiting and made a start.

It took no longer than about 20 minutes to put them in which is amazing as it can take me an hour or so normally to curl my hair regularly but I definitely didn't leave them to heat up long enough. To start with, I could pick them up and put them in without having to wear the dodgy half hand glove (definitely a bit of a weird one, on…

It's a week overdue and my birthday feels like a million years ago already but just had the best weekend with the boy, friends and family I couldn't not blog about it! 
The people who are unfortunate enough to know me around this time of year know how much I'm like a little kid when it comes to birthdays and Christmas and I get so super excited I probably annoy the life out of everyone who I speak to! My poor boyfriend has had me whittling on for weeks and literally counting down the days so I'm pretty sure he's glad it's all over. 
For my birthday this year we had a bit of a roadtrip and went up to Blackpool for a couple of days on the Thursday night-Saturday afternoon then went up to Nottingham Saturday night for a few cocktails and lovely meal with my girlies and they're lovely men. Sunday was spent slightly hungover however after a birthday tuna melt panini from Starbucks downstairs in the hotel, I just about managed to unwrap the pressies that Nick ha…

I've Tweeted before about how much I'm in love with OPI's nail envy. I've used it so many times as I'm the worst person in the world with acryllic nails... on off, on off, on off! I get impatient and end up picking them off and now my nails are a mess and never grow past a certain length.

A friend recommended it late last year and I was really surprised with the effects. My nails grew so quickly and the difference even after a couple of days was really noticeable so you can imagine what it was like after about 10 days. A few people commented on an Instagram picture asking if it really works and so thought I'd give my little view...

There's loads of different OPI Nail Envy's but I just use the basic max strength in the green package (photo in the Boots Haul blog a few blogs back)! It's so simple - double coat on day one, then add another coat every day for 2 weeks. I know what you're thinking... it's going to build up and go funny! It kind…

Yes... I am one of those annoying people who have pretty much finished their Christmas shopping and even made a start on wrapping up everyone's pressies ;) 

For those who don't know, I work for Boots and each Christmas feel that I can recall the gift guide and the best pressies on the shelves. Plus with having 3 for 2, you really can do what I've done and spoil everyone that little bit extra. But like everyone else, I've found there's so much choice out there this year and there's so many ideas flying around so I've really been stuck for what to get who. Now I've finished, I can sit back and look at what else is out there for any little extra stocking fillers and thought I'd help and try to inspire you.

So if you're on a bit of a budget and looking for a few gifts for Mum, Sister, Grandmas, Aunties and your girlfriends, here's my top 20 under £20 from the Boots Gift Guide!
