Three Day Juice Cleanse: Day 1



A few weeks ago I saw an offer on Groupon for a discount on a three or five day juice cleanse with Soulmate Food. I’ve always thought about doing one, but they are hugely expensive and I just know I wouldn’t do it if I made the juices myself – effort! The discount was 60% off, so I thought it was a good deal and decided to take the plunge. The other positive to Soulmate Food is that they deliver outside of London, which most other companies don’t.

Leighton Denny 'Get Your Côte'



I recently got this gorgeous new colour from Leighton Denny called 'Get Your Côte' and couldn't wait to try it out. As you can see it's a beautiful turquoisey blue and I absolutely adore this shade. It's going to be perfect for spring/summer as it gives a lovely pop of colour but isn't too in your face and bright.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies

I borrowed this picture from Sheerluxe - the brownie's didn't last long enough for me to photograph!

So on a rainy Saturday a couple of weeks ago I decided to make some peanut butter chocolate brownies. I saw the recipe pop up in the Sheerluxe emailer and had to make them. I love peanut butter and I also love chocolate brownies so I thought what was not to like?! I've shared my baking experience below.

Ace of Base


I've been looking for a new foundation for a while now, ever since my beloved By Terry Sheer Expert ran out. If I had the money or was still working in beauty I would have got this one again in a shot, but sadly I can't justify spending £44 on a foundation when I know there are others out there that will be just as good for half the price.

John Frieda Full Repair Sheer Mist


This is definitely one of my best discoveries of 2012 and has fast become my one of my top hair heroes. Firstly my hair is quite long, and last summer I decided to give into the trend and have a dip dye. As much as I absolutely love the colour, I cannot believe how damaged the bleach has made the ends and also how knotty it now gets. My hair before wasn't dyed and was fairly easy to manage, and I've never been one for using many products in my hair but that all changed as soon as I took the plunge and went blonde.

Mini White Chocolate & Raspberry Cupcakes


I love to bake, and for Christmas I was given this awesome mini cupcake maker. It's so easy to use and even comes with a few recipe ideas to get you started. I decided to make the white chocolate and raspberry ones with white chocolate icing. So to make these, you need the following ingredients:

diptyque Addiction


My name is Megan and I'm addicted to diptyque. There, I've said it. I should also say now that the photo above is just a small part of my collection, but my favourites.

My Skincare Routine


I thought I'd share with you the skincare products I use daily and why. Firstly I always take off my make up before I go to bed and can't stand the thought of sleeping with a full face of make up on, even after a night out. I'm lucky to have pretty good skin and have never suffered with spots, acne etc. but I think it is so important to look after your skin and use good quality products. So here goes, my daily skincare routine...
