It seems like this post is needed, because the numbers aren’t going down. In fact, they’re only on the up and it’s only getting worse here in America. We’re ok for the moment here in New York, but as we see all of the southern states start to spike again,…
June already? Hello Summer! Funny how this definitely won’t be the summer that I first imagined when I moved to New York last September. It’s hot, sticky and sweaty just as it was when I arrived, but there are no outdoor parties, gatherings and no tourists whatsoever. However, we have…
Do you remember a time when your favourite glossy magazine influenced the beauty products that you purchased? It would be the beauty editors’ reviews that would make or break a product. Now though? Do you even read magazines? Do you know who the beauty journalists are? Do they have any…
Another five books down already; I’m getting through these books way too quickly. 30 books in the bag now for 2020, I’m almost at my target of 52 books for the year. I remember thinking in January that just surpassing my number of 15 for 2019 would be good enough,…

Welcome to chapter eight of my book review series. 40 books in the bag already, or should I say on the shelf? Anyway, I’m well on my way to my 52 books in 52 weeks challenge, with 28 books read since January 1st. I’ve put together a full list of…
Diversity. It’s what we’ve been crying out for, for so long. You know it, I know it, and the brands know it. Yet, when a lot of brands do try and diversify their marketing strategies or their social media feeds, it almost seems forced. Now though, because of the largest…
I wanted somewhere that I could have a long list of the books I’ve read, instead of having just the installments of five books at a time. This will be an extensive list that I will keep updating as the year progresses and hopefully before the end of the year…
