Alex Steinherr X Primark Skincare

I've followed Alex Steinherr, award-winning beauty journalist, on Instagram for a while - her stunning feed is full of cosmetic recommendations. So when I heard that she was collaborating with Primark to release a skincare range, I was understandably thrilled. I've never been terribly loyal to skincare - I moisturised every morning, but that's about it (don't hate me!). But at 25, I figured this is the year I need to pull my finger out and start looking after my skin - and the Alex Steinherr X Primark range ticked all the boxes.

Lush Valentines | My Picks

If there's something that Lush does really well, it's a seasonal release! Christmas, Halloween, Mother's Day, Valentine's... they're all very well thought out and I am a sucker when it comes to buying them. Even if I just grab one or two to try, I have to have something. This year is no exception - the Valentine's launches have been fab. So obviously I had to pop into the Southampton store to pick a couple up.

The Girl on the Train | Mayflower Theatre

2018 was a great year for theatre trips, and I had high hopes for 2019. My first show of the year was one that’s been on my to-see list from as soon as I knew it was coming to the Mayflower Theatre. The Girl on the Train gripped me as a book, and then as a film (which admittedly I didn’t love as much), and now it has been turned into a stage show. Knowing the premise of the story, I knew this would be an edge-of-your-seat show, and I was so excited to get the opportunity to watch.

First Book Haul of 2019

As an avid book lover, it surprises me to say that in 2018, I bought myself one book. For the whole year! Now, normally I spend half my life in Waterstones, browsing the shelves and seeing what's new. But for some reason, I just became a bit disinterested in reading last year, only reading ten books all year. This year, I vowed to read more books, and this seems to have reignited my love for a little wander into Waterstones, and just a few short weeks into the year, I've amassed a small stash of new books to add to my bookcase.
