Sipping on luxury cocktails with the girls at Gleneagles Hotel! But £125 for four drinks? Is this Scotland's finest or totally overpriced? 🍸✨ The atmosphere was unreal, and the drinks were top-notch, but is this a treat or a rip-off?

Saying goodbye to my biggest insecurity - those pesky red thread veins on my cheek! After just one session of IPL laser treatment at Bamboo Boutique near Stockbridge, I'm already seeing a huge difference. Quick, comfortable, and pain-free. Bring on the confidence! ✨

Some friendships defy logic, and I'm glad mine do. These women were my workfam, and even though life has taken us on vastly different routes, our friendship remains a constant. It's wild how people who knew you in a different era still vibe with you. Cherishing the memories, inside jokes, and late-night conversations. Words can't express my gratitude for friendships like these. Thanks for being my people, for the memories, and for being authentically you. 💛 ✂️

Just a casual day in the life of me, tripping over air molecules. Tag someone who's also secretly a walking disaster 😜

Happy World Book Day 📚✨

It got me thinking about books that have really stayed with me. Three I’ve read that I honestly think everyone should try are:

• The Heart’s Invisible Furies
• The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill
• Mr. Pike’s

All completely different, but each one completely pulled me in and stayed with me long after the last page.

Now I need your help…

What’s a book you would recommend to absolutely everyone? The one you couldn’t put down or the one you still think about.

Drop your favourites below 👇
I’m always looking for my next great read.

Morning skin reset starts here! I've been using the Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanser and I'm obsessed - it's like a wake-up call for my skin! Gentle exfoliation with AHAs, brightens dull skin, and doesn't strip or leave me feeling dry. Perfect for a double cleanse. Let me know your thoughts 👇

Edinburgh wine lovers, this one’s for you.

I had the best night at on Leven Street with the fabulous Maria – aka herself and it was not your average wine event.

Think:
🍷 Big, bold reds & light, fruity favourites
💄 Soft glam beauty demo in real time
✨ Empowerment, confidence & good energy all round

Maria showed us how to create soft glam in minutes,mixing high street and luxury products to prove it’s not about the price tag, it’s about the application. And honestly? Game changer.

Then we had the amazing , who is empowerment in human form. She has that calm, kind energy that instantly puts you at ease. If you’re even slightly nervous about treatments or just need someone who genuinely makes you feel your best – she is your girl.

This was my first wine tasting event and it will NOT be my last. 🍷
If you’re an Edinburgh wine lover who also loves beauty, confidence and a relaxed, empowering night out… keep your eyes on their Instagram pages because I have a feeling this is going to be a regular thing.

Watch the video and tell me:
Would you come to a wine & beauty night in Edinburgh? 👀🍷✨

The great foundation hunt is on! After years of loving Double Wear, I'm leveling up my makeup game with a quest for the perfect full-coverage foundation. Just tested the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless... but I'm just getting started! 👇 Share your faves - what's your top full-coverage foundation? And don't forget to drop your favorite skincare tips for achieving clear, glowing skin!

Get ready for a skincare unboxing like no other! I’m cracking open a fresh box of Medik8 goodies and I’m pretending to be surprised (shh, don’t tell anyone it’s not my first order!). With clinical ingredients and results-driven formulas, Medik8 is my go-to for glowing skin. If you’re obsessed with Vitamin C, Retinol, or achieving that glass skin glow, you won’t want to miss this. I’m a skincare addict, and I’m unapologetic about it – I’ve mastered the art of clicking “add to basket.” Watch till the end to see what’s inside!

POV: You’ve survived back-to-back big, bouncy blow-dries all day… and this is what’s going through your head. 💀💨 “My arm is literally going to fall off… they had no mercy on me…” Why does every client want that supermodel 90s volume on the one day your shoulders have officially given up? 😂 Being a hairdresser isn’t just about glamour and perfect hair; it’s about strong arms, stronger coffee, and an even stronger mindset. Blow-drying all day is basically an intense upper-body workout with a side of emotional support. To all my fellow stylists doing round-brush cardio from dawn till dusk (or let’s be real… till the last client leaves), I see you. Your poor shoulders see you too. And if you’ve ever left the salon feeling like you’ve been put through a wringer… welcome to the club.

They changed my OG after 20 YEARS… and I took it personally. 💔

Yes, I’m talking about Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup.

The foundation that has seen me through bad skin days, long salon shifts, nights out, sweat, tears and everything in between. So when I heard they’d reformulated it? I was NERVOUS.

In this video I’m giving you the full, unfiltered review:
✨ Coverage – is it still that full-glam, skin-perfecting moment?
✨ Wear time – does it still survive a 10-hour shift?
✨ Finish – matte queen or soft glow upgrade?
✨ The cons (because we’re honest here).

If Double Wear is your ride-or-die foundation, this is your sign to watch before you repurchase.

Has the OG improved… or have they messed with perfection? 👀

Save this. Share this. And tell me – are you loyal to Double Wear or are you flirting with something new?
