Hospitals, makeup & anti-embolism stockings: Living the dream.


I can go makeup free almost every day in life but when it comes to being in hospital (the one time it's actually required) I just can't. Sorry guys. I need my holy trinity. 

My holy trinity being powder, bronzer & mascara. If I have just these 3 things, I can make it through anything. Including my regular trip to theatre to have my vocal cords lasered & my dreams of being a singer shattered. 


My current view of the world. It's pretty blue. They've just wheeled out the first patient on the list and I'm third in line so it won't be long til I'm called. The waiting is the worst bit. And knowing what's coming. Actually maybe the worst bit is knowing that it won't make a damn bit of difference. Although I did learn I'm getting a new anti-viral treatment so you know... Fingers crossed for that. 


I get fairly reflective sat here on my own just waiting. Needlessly reflective I'm sure some would say. You'd think after 24 years, two or three times a year (less since budget cuts & waiting lists) Id be used it. Sadly not. Happily though I'll be home by 8 this evening and can crawl into bed for a few days with a bucket of soluble painkillers and Grace & Frankie on Netflix. 


Let's not forget the outfit of the day. My lovely sheer gown & stockings. Totes fetching.


Right I think I've reflected enough. Time to go distract myself with some hardcore social networking.

SEE YOU ON THE FLIP SIDE!

Matcha Madness: The Body Shop Matcha Tea Face Mask Review

My name is Bex and I am a mask addict! I love masks. Cream, clay, mud, peeling, sheet, cellulose, nourishing... you name it and I love it! I recently spent an evening with the amazing staff from The Body Shop Belfast learning about all their key products and celebrating their cruelty free status and at the end of the night I was very kindly gifted their Japanese Matcha Tea pollution clearing mask - I was delighted!  We all know that the world has gone Matcha crazy but beyond an occasional frappe from a well known coffee house my main experiences have been with Matcha flavour cakes from my local asian supermarket. They are seriously amazing and the lightest sponge I've ever eaten but it doesn't exactly scream "good for you". Thankfully, apart from being seriously tasty Matcha is ridiculously good for you. Traditionally brewed as a simple green tea it is packed full of antioxidants - 10 times the amount in normal green teas as you are consuming the precious groun

Ophrys Skincare

If you have been following my blogs and social media you will have seen that I am currently partnering with Therapie Clinics and trying out their range of specialist facials to try and improve my skin. Alongside the facials (my second of which is coming up in April!) I have really tried to up my game with my skin care. Rather than just slapping everything that says hydration on I am really trying to target specific areas and problems. This has not been without it's troubles as my sensitive skin tries to adjust to this higher level of care. As a result of this - and a few other internal factors - I have been experiencing a few more breakouts than normal but I have been coping with them better. It's all about the give and take. And when it comes to the 'give' I was very lucky to be approached by Ophrys Skincare to talk about their new range of low molecular hyaluronic skincare with their patented Mini-Hax particle. "Low Ma-what?" I hear you say? Well... Low
