All the time in the world

By Amy March 17, 2019 4 m read

This image shows a woman over looking the coastline in Northumberland. She is standing on the top of the dunes wearing a blue dress and white trainers. It is a beautifully sunny day, with a breeze as she holds onto her sun hat with both hands. The sky and sea are beautiful tones of blue.

I’m ‘lucky’. I’m at home all the time, I spend most of my time free. I realise how lucky this makes me in the eyes of all those rushed off their feet, I really do and I value the time that my predicament allows for me to spend with my loved ones. Goodness though, do I …

Four bottles of serums sitting on a white desk top. Behind the bottles, slightly out of focus. are three small herbs posts, green herbs in grey pots. The serum bottles from left to right are: The Ordinary hyaluronic acid (clear body, white label, black writing). Hyalmide hyaluronic acid, clear bottle, pink and white label, black writing. NIOD Muli-molecular hyaluronic acid, dark brown bottle, white label, black writing. Skinceuticals H.A Intensifier, Brown bottle, White and bright blue writing.

Skincare Saviours To Hydrate And More Snowdrops may be popping through the hardened ground with a beautiful promise of Spring but our skin can still suffer the effects of a long, cold winter; mine certainly does.

An Ode To My Instagram Fam – Why hitting 10k felt so amazing and why it has nothing to do with the numbers

By Amy February 22, 2019 4 m read

A white wooden background with an open notebook with writing. To the right is a dahlia flower, white with purple edges and a green stalk. A black pen sits to the right of the flower. The writing in the book says 'An ode to my instagram fam'.

Dear Instagram, my Spoonie family For me, setting up my Instagram @myillnessmythoughts was first of all an expression of life lived with chronic illness, predominantly mine. I then saw it as an incredible tool to advocate for others in similar situations as myself; quite often it is the patient who becomes the self advocate in under …

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer – Still hard to beat

By Amy February 17, 2019February 18, 2019 4 m read

Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Away concealer is central in this image. The packaging for that itself is a metal tube in rose gold colour with the name of the product written on the front and a transparent centre where you can see the shade of product in the centre. The concealer sits on a round mirror which reflects it beautifully. Surrounding the concealer are: to the right, two square Charlotte Tilbury palettes, one dark brown, one rose gold, both are closed. To the left is a small gold pot with a faceted design. Inside a two Charlotte Tilbury lip products. Behind all of these are three plants. One pansy, in purples and pinks and two green leaves in a marble pot and a metal reflective square pot.

Oh Please Magic my dark eye circles away! If you’re into makeup then you know that pretty much every new launch Charlotte Tilbury brings to the market swiftly sells out. Charlotte not only knows her clientele and it’s demand but most importantly that quality of product makes people come back time and time again; the key …

Floatation Therapy

By Amy February 13, 2019February 14, 2019 10 m read

The picture is of a Floatation tank called an I-SOPOD. The tank lid is open, showing how large the tank is. You can also see the water inside and the lights which are purple in this image. The tank is big and white. It sits on a dark grey floor in a white room and has a cleaning system to it's left.

AD | GIFTED (NOT PAID) Floating away, Floating away Imagine, if you will, floating effortlessly in warm water. Your body softly supported by the stillness below. Peace, quiet, surrounds you. You have time to be still, time for yourself. I’m talking about Floatation Therapy, the peculiar idea of lying in a pod that wouldn’t look out …

Blusher : The Body Shop Lip and Cheek stains – Perfect Spring Makeup

By Amy February 3, 2019 3 m read

Three black tubes of liquid blush by The Body Shop set on a marble background. There are three different shades.

These little blusher beauties are by no means new to The Body shop and their makeup collection, however the Lip and Cheek stains don’t seem to get the hype I feel they deserve and that’s why I’d like to pay them some solo attention today. What’s more they’re perfect for adding a hint of freshness to …
