Introduction : A little about me

I turned 30 today.

I decided having spent my early 20’s blogging about everything I loved (over here) that I should do the same for my early 30’s.

My tastes in everything may have changed (or they may not have – I still feel 16 at heart) but I am keen to document my life, to share the little knowledge I possess and to grow amongst likeminded individuals.

So if you are keen to join me as I embark on my third decade expect to see beauty and fashion posts (my first love and biggest drain on my finances), diet and exercise posts as I try to make these next few years my healthiest amongst many other topics.

I am keen to share these years and grow my circle of friends so please do engage me in conversation (social media links to follow). I want to know your favourite books, what your listening to, your fav places to shop (mine is Etsy as you will soon come to realise), your thoughts on the latest trends.

So please do come say hi !!

I am Tessa and you can find me here Twitter , Bloglovin, Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook

Etsy : The perfect place for a unique Advent Calendar

Over the past few years, I have shared with you my favourite unique Christmas cards, stocking fillers and tree decorations, all available from Etsy This year I want to share my favourite advent calendars. Maybe like me, your children are growing up and so they will appreciate a unique advent calendar for the treat it is, or maybe you would like the joy your family members get from opening their gifts to extend beyond the one day, or perhaps (also like me) you just want to treat yourself a little bit. The possibilities with Etsy really are endless, and there are many more options than those that I am sharing, so I would highly encourage everyone to grab a cup of their favourite hot beverage and spend a fun 30 minutes persuing these sellers, and many more besides that. For the foodies, I have a list of food-based calendars that contain items such as pork scratching and cheddar cheese, alongside those containing the more traditional chocolate options. Cheesies Advent Calendar £32.50

Spring Summer 2017 Beauty trends

As I mentioned the other day in my Miles Donovan post now Christmas is behind us I am starting to think about my wardrobe (clothing and beauty) for Spring/Summer. As I am keener to experiment with my makeup than my clothing (office day job and strong reliance on black clothes that cover my belly) I paid most attention to the makeup looks and have I picked a few (more) of those that I would like to try to share with you. Do you change your look each season or do you have a go-to look you stick with? What is your favourite spring/summer product? Tessa

Get That Glow // Highlighters with a twist

Gone are the days that highlighting was left to the professional makeup artists on magazine shoots. Now highlighting is a day to day occurrence for most of us I love that the trend has evolved enough to provide those of us who don't want a gold champagne shimmer. Some of us are aiming for extraterrestrial realness (maybe that's just me) so the colours now available are perfect and when they come in a palette as beautiful as the Blacklight Highlight - 6 Color Palette from BH Cosmetics (and for only $16.99 !!!) you really can't go wrong. Whilst I try and sort the area in my room for shooting beauty pictures I thought I would share just a few of the items on my highlight wishlist. Are there any highlighters on your wishlist at the moment? Tessa
