Brunch at Pen and Pencil, NQ

I love brunch. Not only does it provide an incredible excuse to eat breakfast food for lunch but it also means you're not rushing your food. Brunch is just my favourite - and a great way to catch up with friends and family. Pen and Pencil is one of those places that I've always known about and always had on my list but somehow never quite made it out. But when I was offered the chance to come and try their brunch, I couldn't refuse!

Choosing the Best Hair Removal Method for You

I'm of the belief that hair removal is a really personal choice - not only because it's a choice whether you choose to remove hair or not, but also the method.

The 2018 Minimalism Makeup Declutter (+current Minimalist Makeup Collection)

Gosh, it seems like ages since I first posted about my Minimalist Makeup Collection! And since that first post over a year ago, I’ve had a couple of small declutters, but it’s definitely time for a new one (and with this declutter has come new storage!) When I did my first declutter, I stored all my makeup inside a drawer in old boxes – and whilst they definitely served their purpose, they have gotten suitably ratty (no thanks to my hacking of them), and are in much need of an update! I'm still using boxes, but they fit perfectly and are free. So it's a win-win. (But don't forget to scroll down to see my before picture!)
