Lockdown Diaries

A few snaps of life lately, staying home and trying to maintain structure and stay connected with everyone. I’m luckily still working, adding in bits of yoga and pilates and baking (are you even in lockdown if you haven’t made banana bread)?

  1. We’ve had such sunny weather which is lovely for our walks, but makes it tricky to be inside. Loving the light in the flat.
  2. I’m doing tons of face masks and skincare treatments with the extra time I have. These face masks are a favourite and regular re-purchase of mine.
  3. So many sweatsuits, t-shirts, and if I am wearing a bra it’s a super cozy bralette. I’m obsessed with everything SKIMS, they have the most comfortable underwear and covers all sizes and skin tones. Living in this one at the moment.
  4. Appreciating things I might normally look past in my daily walk/run/exercise outdoors. So many exciting things to come when this is all over.
  5. Also experimenting with lots of cooking, this is a vegetarian eggplant pasta dish. On my weekly recipe rota.
  6. Hair masking has become a more regular thing too – this mask is so affordable and smells amazing. I put it in at night and wake up with the softest hair

Skincare Favorites Lately

I had to share three skincare items that I’m loving and feel actually make a difference to my skin. I try different products so often that I feel like when things I repeat-buy come up, they should be shared!

Medik8 Clarity Peptides | I love this brand and these peptides combat tired, dull skin. Perfect for a busy lifestyle to freshen up your complexion.

Medik8 Vitamin C Serum | Vitamin C is a must in any skincare routine and this one has been a favorite for several years. It visibly makes my skin brighter and smoother.

bareMinerals Skin Longevity Vital Power Sleeping Gel Cream | One of the best night creams I’ve tried. Includes hyaluronic acid and feels so light but moisturizing on the skin. I wake up looking refreshed and rested.

What are you skincare go-to’s lately? I’d love to hear!

Currently Loving

Fashion// I don’t know about you but I’m so ready for fall – I can’t wait for coats and sweaters! Everything that just dropped at H&M is amazing right now and I have my eye on this coat. Also loving this super cool biker jacket, so timeless and chic.

Beauty// I just got this and am loving it, I feel like it’s the exact same tool they use at expensive skincare clinics and as long as you replace the needle every few uses it’s fairly easy! It’s slightly painful but if you do your research you’ll see why its massive benefits for your skin. I am due to post a skincare regime update!

Art // Have you seen this Instagram account? Inspiring artwork, throwback images, cool quotes. I love the addition of it to my feed.

Loving Lately

BEAUTY // I recently had a facial where they used a red light and I loved it. After some research I purchased this one and am loving using it and already notice a glow on my skin. The results take a few weeks to see fully, but using the light is also super calming and relaxing – my favourite part of my evening routine.

ART // I’m loving this Instagram account with thoughtful, inspiring quotes from famous artists. Definitely worth a follow!

FASHION // January in London can be brutal but this Acne scarf is keeping me warm – it’s so big and cozy. Combined with my favourite coat brand and boots you can’t go wrong.

INTERIORS// I recently discovered this incense which I’m now using all the time. It smells so light and natural and it’s perfect for burning in the winter months.
