Christmas Gift Ideas

Can you believe it's December 18th already? This post is going to feature a lot of my favourite brands this year that I think would make perfect last minute Christmas gifts. 

1. Shadow Switch Brush Cleaner 
This beauty tool was created as a dry brush cleaner, aimed at cleaning and getting rid of product on your brushes so you can "switch" up colours and shades. Basically, it comes in a compact tin and it includes a wire sponge inside. All you do is take your brush and swirl in a circular motion until all traces of colour has gone. And then your ready to go onto the next shade! I've been using this for the past 2 months and it's saved me so much time in the mornings going to college. Retailing at just £6 on Amazon here, I feel it would make a perfect stocking or Kris Kindle present. 

The AM | PM Routine Tag

I saw this tag floating around and as I've had my blog for over 3 months now I thought it was time to do another personal tag.

AM

What is your morning routine?  

I'll usually get up on the second ring of my alarm. I am not a snooze person. I'll let Atticus outside (he's our cat not a person we are keeping hostage) and then make some coffee. I'll drink at my desk while on Twitter or responding to emails. Then I'll head in the shower.

What's for breakfast?

Coffee. That's it. Ever since I started secondary school almost 6 years ago I physically cannot eat breakfast. I don't usually crave anything until around 10am. 

Stationary Haul

Women need men to feel successful and empowered.
Global warming is a lie.

I am obsessed with stationary.

One of these above statements is true. Did you guess right? Yes, I am completely and utterly obsessed with stationary. You may even go as far as saying stationary shopping is my favourite type of shopping. 

I have a myriad of stationary in this haul; some quite expensive and others reasonably priced.

Review: Crystal Bar Soap

This post is probably my favourite one I've ever written so far but also the hardest because there is simply so much to talk about.
Crystal Bar Soap are a cruelty-free and vegan brand from Canada that specialises in crafting soaps and bath bombs. What makes this brand so unique is that each product, whether it's a soap or bomb, contains a handpicked crystal inside.  Each product has a recipe that compliments the crystal embedded within, which will be revealed after using it.

End Of Summer Lookbook

The evenings are starting to get darker, pumpkin spice lattes are back and tinges of orange and brown will soon adorn the streets. It can only mean one thing: summer is ending and autumn is here.
Autumn has probably been my favourite season as far back as I can remember. I can put away the shorts and t-shirts that show off how irrevocably pale I am and start wearing my favourite thing, layers.

I have teamed up with Froccupy on Looks Number 1 and 3. Froccupy are an affordable Irish fashion brand and I was so excited when they gifted me these items from their new collection. If you are interested in purchasing any of the items below or anything else, you can use the code "MAPETITE20" which will give you 20% off anything on their site! Shop online here. 

Getting Organised With Toad Diaries

Staying organised was once one of my best attributes. But that all changed when I started this blog. I was uploading sporadically and had no set day to shoot photos or to respond to emails. And then came along this. As much as I enjoy using my iPhone to store my To-Do lists, nothing beats good old pen and paper. And so fortunately, when Toad Diaries offered me to sample their new journal made personally for bloggers, I was so excited.

August Favourites

It feels like just yesterday I was scheduling my July Favourites and now here I am with another one. 

As summer is quickly drawing to a close and I have to consider the reality of starting college I have been trying to prepare myself with a plethora of items.
