Recently I went to hobby craft and bought a few little cute things to add lovely homemade touches to my presents.

Well pay day has been and gone, so I have bought a few new products to add to my routine. I've recently got contacts and want my skin to look its best as its going to be a bit more on display. As you might know from one of my previous posts, I am quite liking the Boots Botanics All Bright range. So I bought a few more bits. I bought the All Bright Serum which you apply after cleansing and toning but before your moisturiser morning and night. Serums are very rich so you only need three or four drops on your face avoiding your eyes.  I've found that once it sinks in it makes a skin feel really soft and more hydrated. It is a little oily however because it is so enriched,  you don't need a lot and it soaks in relatively quickly so this doesn't last long.

It's CHRISTMAS! (nearly!) I ADORE CHRISTMAS!

Recently when using face wipes my skin has become very irritated, red and very sore. as I use face wipes daily to cleanse my skin, I was a bit unsure on what to do. I did some researching and found some cleansing waters that claim to dissolve your make up and cleanse your skin. Well I thought that was perfect. However, the cost of some of these can be very high.

Cooking and baking is something I love to do in my spare time (not that I get a lot of it!) When I do get a spare moment I never normally have a great deal already in the house, but this is one recipe I could never get bored with.

Well here is another instalment on the products I received my my L'Oreal Beauty Box.

Another great recipe, very filling, great for winter as its something different to the traditional soups and stews.

Good morning Bloggers! Just a quick little update about a few of the products I received in my L'Oreal Beauty Box. So far I have only used the shampoo, conditioner and the face cream.

Well life took over a little bit and I really struggled with what to write as a second post. Then inspiration hit in the form of a, slightly tattered, portly package; A L'Oreal Beauty box! On a whim a while ago now I signed up to receive samples. So I was having a good gander of the website to see what else might take my fancy. That's when I seen that they were looking for people to become some sort of beauty panel and review some products. So I signed up on a whim.

This something I tend to make quite often as a bit of a posh tea (dinner), which is especially good when you are having a few people over. For dishes I have made quite often just start doing it by ear, however I have tried my best to keep an eye on quantities, as well as keep a track of all the utensils I have used.

Hello, and welcome to my spotty apron. My name is Kirsty, I am 21 and currently living in North-East England. I love to cook really good food, saving money, being a girlie-girl and looking after my partner and our five beautiful kids (my guinea pigs). I really like experimenting with different flavours but I am a bit of a progressive cook; as in I try kits and sauces then I try to recreate them myself. Also, I try to use rubs or marinading as it is great way of getting flavour without too much effort, it is best to do this overnight. A great place to get inspiration from is the internet, I use  bbc good food  as they have a lot of variations on the same recipe so I often pick and choose different elements to try and get a balance I like. I have a few cookery books, but I find that sometimes they are a bit hit and miss, as in I love Jamie Oliver but I haven't made every single recipe out of his book I have. This is why I prefer the internet; if you are stuck all you need to...
