Umberto Giannini | Banana Butter Range

*This post contains gifted products*

When Umberto Giannini first launched their Banana Butter Range back in March 2021 they sent me the whole range to try out & I have been using it ever since. At the time my hair just seemed a little dry & frizzy, it really wasn't looking how I wanted it to be looking, so it was the perfect time to try this range out.

Skin + Me | My skin journey

 

*Affiliate Link*

Skincare is something I have invested a lot of money into, mainly trying to battle cystic acne that was not going anywhere, every product that promised targeted breakout treatment I was buying, mainly because nothing was working...because high street targeted skincare doesn't work, not for acne. You may be thinking, 'well, why didn't she go to her doctor?', I did, multiple times & was prescribed multiple creams & all I got with them was bleached bedding & face cloths.

Experience Blue Jasmine's Christmas Menu

 

*complementary PR visit*

It's that time of the year again where we all start looking for something a little special to do over the festive period whether its with friends, family or for a work do & Blue Jasmine might just be the place for you. Located by the waterside of the marina in Ocean Village, Blue Jasmine is the epitome of fine dining, elevating Asian cuisine to something that hasn't been seen in Southampton. I popped along with Southampton Bloggers to try out their Christmas menu, and let me tell you, it is an absolute treat.

Skincare is my one true love, nothing makes me feel good like being able to make my skin happy & healthy, but of course to get to that point there's a lot of trial an error to find out what works for you & your skin, getting through purging, the changing seasons meaning your skin craves different things. What works for one person doesn't work for another, it takes time to learn what is best for your skin & I'm still learning. I'm lucky enough to be part of Dermalogica's Skinfluencer programme, meaning I get to try their newest products when they drop, I've been sharing about them when they drop over on my instagram but I'm yet to do a review, so that's what I'm here for today, it's been a while since my last one so we're doing a few products in one go today!

DIY Hot Chocolate Bombs

 Let's start this off by saying I am no chocolatier, this is very much a homemade mess, a tasty one nonetheless. I shared on my social media a hot chocolate bomb that I had made myself & have since been asked a lot about how to make them, so I thought I'd put together a quick post on how I made them, plus you may be more skilled than me & make them look wonderful!
