Lighthearted Beauty and Lifestyle... Honestly.
I have been a failure at things throughout my entire life. I dropped out of university (twice), didn’t manage to get a job after around 1000 applications in two years, didn’t manage to successfully learn an instrument… I could go on. There’s not many things […]
If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll know that I dropped out of university… twice. I wrote a blog post about it! It has been a couple of years since I dropped out the second time and, after my breakdown in May, some thoughts […]
It’s been a while since I picked up the metaphorical pen and wrote something for this blog. I have to admit, my blog is more of a ‘side thing’ for me, and was always going to be the first to take a hit if I […]
I’m moving my blog back to WordPress. Being self-hosted was awesome, but as I don’t have the budget for it anymore, I’m having to move my blog back to wordpress.com (the free version). I’ll still be posting the same content, and the blog is already […]
I know, I know, I’m in my twenties. I can’t talk about ageing with any real integrity; my skin is still in the throes of youth and I’m not exactly approaching the menopause. However, I’m not talking about being of a certain age, I’m talking […]
Who am I? When I quit YouTube, I had to rediscover who I was. For so long, I had been in creator-mode, constantly thinking of video ideas, promoting my ‘brand’ and scouting new makeup releases. After leaving that behind, it felt like I had to […]
Welcome back to another LookFantastic Beauty Box unboxing! This month’s theme was Around the World, so I was expecting a lot of products from international brands, or products that contain ingredients from around the globe. Let’s see what’s inside! If you’re new to my unboxings, […]
May has been a strange month for me. We went away twice, I made a huge life decision and my world collapsed around me for a while. Months like these were made to test us, and tested I really feel. I’m looking forward to a […]
I haven’t been abroad since my honeymoon, so when my husband suggested a city break to Estonia to visit a friend who moved there, I jumped at the chance. It’s no secret that money is tight for us, so instead of having to save for […]
18 months of unboxing the LookFantastic Beauty Box! I can’t believe I’ve been subscribed for a year and a half. I think I’ve only ever missed two unboxing posts – once in March this year, when I took some time off, and the very first […]
I recently put together a list of all my favourite makeup products from drugstores, but I soon realised that it would be dominated by Revolution Beauty brands! Therefore, I thought I’d separate it and put Revolution Pro, I Heart Revolution and Makeup Revolution in its […]
It’s quite a task to narrow down the thousands of products you can find in Superdrug and Boots down to just ten items. Somehow I managed it! I’ve tried to get a big mix of products from different brands, but I’ve decided to leave Revolution […]
If you’re a frequenter of Twitter and keep up to date with what Influencers are up to, you’ve probably come across the word ‘cancelled’ before, and not just in regards to Southern Rail services. ‘Cancelled culture’ has become somewhat of a debated topic recently, so […]
Hey. My name’s Holly and this was once a lighthearted beauty and lifestyle blog. I stopped creating YouTube content in June 2019, and that’s when my focus shifted to a more personal feel. I’m 25, married with (cat) children, and have no idea what I’m doing. Nice to meet you!
