Favourite Essie Nail Polish

I have a huge collection of nail polishes and often find myself purchasing the same ones without realising!
Recently I visited boots and found the perfect mint green colour by Essie.
It is a beautiful pastel colour, Stands out but is not overpowering, the brush is easy to use and the polish dries super quick which I find great if you're in a rush or just impatient like me!

Pies for Parkinson's Challenge

Growing up with a Grandad that has Parkinson's Disease it is great to see the Pies for Parkinson's Challenge creating more awareness via Social Media.
Last night I decided to take on the challenge myself, letting my boyfriend film and throw a cream pie in my face!

Here are some photos (feel free to laugh!)




Don't I look lovely? #piesforparkinsons

This morning I decided to get my blender out and make a yummy easy to make smoothie! 

You will need...


Coconut Water
Bananas x2
Kiwis x2
Large handful of strawberry's
and of course a blender/smoothie maker!




You will need to chop up your fruit into small pieces, add the coconut water (about half way up the blender) and blend for around 30-40 seconds


Serve and enjoy!

Holiday Snaps - Greece

I recently came back from a lovely holiday in the beautiful Parga in Greece here are a few of my holiday snaps! :) 








Hello and Welcome!

Hello and Welcome!

My name is, Rachel and I have a passion for beauty and fashion.

It is near the end of summer, well sort of, and as sad as that is I can't wait to get my cosy jumpers and fluffy socks out ready for the winter........and of course one of my many onesies. I have already started on the hot chocolates!

For the last six months I have really wanted to start reviewing all of the products I am buying and trying so I decided to start my own blog.

So, watch this space :)
