Chloé Eau de Parfum Review: A Clean, Soapy Floral That Feels Effortless

Some fragrances feel like they need a specific occasion. Others just slot into your day without much thought. Chloé Eau de Parfum is very much the second kind. It’s the sort of scent you reach for when you want to feel a bit more put together, without it feeling like you’ve made too much of a decision. Scent profile Chloé Eau de Parfum is a fresh floral built around peony, rose and freesia. It has a distinctly clean, slightly soapy quality that makes it feel very easy to wear. There’s a softness to it, but also a brightness that keeps

Easy Ways to Look Effortlessly Put Together (Even on Busy Days)

There are days where I don’t want to spend ages getting ready, but I still want to feel put together. Most of the time, I’m just busy and don’t have a lot of extra time to think about what I’m wearing or how everything looks together. Or I want to spend those extra few minutes in bed haha. And because of that, I’ve started to notice the small things that actually make a difference. It’s rarely about wearing something complicated. It’s usually just a few simple details that make everything feel more considered. These are the ones I come back

10 Simple Ways to Refresh Your Room for Spring (No Redecorating Needed)

Living in a London flatshare often means working with a space that you can’t change too much. You’re usually dealing with the same furniture, the same walls, and not a huge amount of room to work with. But I’ve found that when the seasons change, even a few small updates can make a space feel noticeably different. As we move into spring, I tend to focus on lighter, simpler changes that make the room feel fresher and a bit easier to live in day-to-day. 1. Switch to lighter bedding This is probably the easiest place to start. Heavier winter bedding

Easy Summer Nail Colours You Can Wear Every Day

As we head into summer, I tend to reach for nail colours that feel a bit lighter and easier to wear. Nothing too bold or trend-heavy – just shades that feel fresh, flattering and work day-to-day without needing much thought. These are the colours I find myself coming back to every year. Soft milky pink A soft milky pink is probably one of the easiest options. It gives a clean, slightly polished look without feeling too done. It’s subtle, but still makes your nails look neat and put together. This is one I tend to wear when I want something

How to Apply Mineral Sunscreen So It Actually Works (and Looks Good)

As we start moving into summer, sunscreen becomes something most of us are thinking about a bit more. Although it should be worn daily whatever the weather, it’s definitely more apparent when the sun comes out. Mineral sunscreen is often recommended as the gentler option – especially if you have sensitive skin or find chemical SPFs sting your eyes. But it’s also one of those products that can be a bit frustrating to use. If you’ve ever ended up with patchy coverage, a slight white cast or makeup that starts pilling, it’s usually not the sunscreen itself. More often than

Hydro Flask Coffee Flask with Flex Sip Lid review

Here's my review of the 16oz (473ml) Coffee Flask with Flex Sip Lid in the colour Reef. Hydro Flask Coffee Flask Specs First impressions I’ve been using this for a while now, and it’s one of those flasks that seems straightforward at first, but a few things become more noticeable the more you use it. The size I have is 16oz (473ml), which feels about right for a morning coffee without being too bulky in a bag. It does the basics well. It keeps coffee hot for a long time, and once it’s properly closed, it doesn’t leak. You can

Armani Rouge Malachite Review: A Creamy, Spicy White Floral

Some fragrances feel easy to wear. Others feel like they’re made for a very specific kind of moment. Armani Rouge Malachite definitely sits in the second category. An “occasion fragrance” as I like to call it. This is not a quiet fragrance. It doesn’t sit in the background or blend into your day. It announces itself. Not in a sharp or overwhelming way, but with a kind of steady confidence. From the first spray, it feels rich, creamy and considered, like something designed to be noticed rather than overlooked. Scent profile Rouge Malachite is a creamy white floral built around

Korean skincare has shaped beauty routines for years, but the conversation in 2026 feels noticeably different. The glossy, ultra-polished idea of perfect skin is no longer the whole focus. Instead, attention has shifted towards something more realistic and far easier to live with: skin that looks calm, fresh and well cared for. That’s where the move from glass skin to barrier care comes in. The glow people still love hasn’t disappeared, but it now feels softer and more believable. Rather than chasing an almost reflective finish, more people are looking for hydration, comfort and formulas that support the skin without

The Best Travel Mugs with Covered Mouthpieces (That Won’t Get Gross in Your Bag)

Living in London, I’m often carrying coffee with me on the Tube or walking through busy areas. At some point, I realised that most “leakproof” travel mugs don’t actually solve something I care about – the part you drink from is still exposed. If you’re putting your mug in your bag, the mouthpiece can end up touching everything else in there and picking up fluff or dirt. And even when I’m carrying it, I find a covered mouthpiece feels much more hygienic on the Tube or in busy areas. So I started looking specifically for leakproof coffee mugs with a

How I Set Up a Small Getting-Ready Space in My Bedroom

Living in a London flatshare often means working with a smaller bedroom, where every bit of space matters. After years of it, I’ve found that having a small, dedicated place to get ready can make a noticeable difference. I used to have a huge makeup bag that I kept on my desk, which often led to stressful mornings spent rummaging around trying to find an eye pencil. Now, I've organised my make up and other products so they're easy to grab which makes getting ready much more efficient. It doesn’t need to be a full vanity or anything overly styled.
