[purchase] I went to the Cute exhibition at Somerset House last week with my friend, Carolyn, for a look at all things Kawaii. Absolute heaven for someone like me who loves all of the cute and kawaii things including Hello Kitty. Dora has a little Hello Kitty tag on her …

[purchase/affiliate] First of all, if you’re finding the site glitchy, especially on mobile, please accept my apologies. The ad server needs some fine tuning and we are working on it … when I say ‘we’ I don’t mean me! Code is not my language. The goal of taking ads (I …

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I had a sudden rush to the head and ordered a whole lot of coloured lip balms last week. I just needed to see what’s out there from brands I don’t usually hear anything from. I’m quite picky about balms – I did a reel the other day testing …
