A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Mad Beauty Advent Calendar which was full of make-up gifts. Today is the 12 Days of Christmas Beauty Advent Calendar, which is completely different but utterly adorable!
Alternative Advent – Mad Beauty*
Don’t get me wrong, I love chocolate. The idea of a little square of chocolate every day for the whole month of December is one that brings me joy. However, recently I have been really interested by the other advent options that are out there. Any sort of surprise gift every day is a win in my eyes so I have decided to cover a few of the most popular alternative Advent calendars available this year.

Things You Didn’t Know about Horror Attractions: House of the Dead
I am scared of everything. Large bodies of water, groups of teenagers, the gap between the train and the platform – I won’t even go on ghost trains at the fair. I am a grade A wimp. So quite how I ended up working at a horror attraction, I am not sure, but I love it. Here are some things that you might not know about horror attractions!
I’m the Worst: A Life/Health Update
As a fan of all of the multitasking, I figured it was about time I wrote a blog post explaining why I’ve been such a crappy blogger at the moment and giving a health update as several people have asked for a year-on follow up from my CFS/Fibro vlog.
Wilson in my 20’s: The Illustrated Mum
You may remember that a while ago I set myself the challenge of reading every Jacqueline Wilson book that had been published since my birth, as some sort of weird semi-midlife crisis. I was all set to start, but then other books happened. And I got a little carried away with life. But finally, this week, I picked up one of my favourite ever Jacqueline Wilson books, The Illustrated Mum.
The Devil’s Work – Mark Edwards
I’ve declared my love for Mark Edwards’ books plenty of times on this blog, however, after reading Catch Your Death and being a tiny bit disappointed (it just wasn’t as amazing as his others!), I was a little wary about The Devil’s Work. I needn’t have worried. In true Mark Edwards’ style, it was breathtaking.
MDM Flow – How Lipsticks (and Businesses!) Are Made
If you’re anything like me, you just imagine that lipstick is all made the same way, on a big conveyer belt, before finding it’s way to the shops, then your makeup bag, and eventually, your lips.
Turns out, it’s so much more than that. It’s so much more interesting than that, and it’s a freaking science!
How to Sleep
It’s 1am on a Saturday morning and I am awake. I would like to say that it’s because I’m out clubbing and having a wonderful time (though blogging in a club is where even I would draw the line!), but it’s simply because, I cannot get to bloody sleep!
Kitten Kollege*
I make no secret of the fact that I love cats. In fact, if you’ve been around me for more than 5 minutes I’ve probably bored you to death with tales (or tails ;)) of my own furry baby. My phone background is the time my bearded dragon Dobby met Squidge for the very first time. I have cat scarves, jewellery and even an umbrella (thanks to Purrfect gift box). I threw my cat a birthday party for heavens sake.
