Following my blog post on the products I miss using since going cruelty-free, I’ve had a fair bit of feedback from people asking me to recommend the products I like that they can purchase. Totally fair shout; I definitely want to be celebrating the products I love that are cruelty-free and ten out of ten in my eyes. So I…
You know what? Over the past couple of months, I really feel as though I’ve found my feet with my work/life balance. After the, quite frankly, trainwreck of a year where I gave myself no down days and made over a hundred videos, I realised I needed to get a handle on my schedule and my free time. Not only…
I’ve been cruelty-free for nearly two years now; it all started, as many great things do, from a series of angry YouTube comments on a makeup video I made in 2016.

Last year I was firmly in the Galentines camp, purchasing some “Not Your Baby” pyjamas that I’d wear around the house on nights in, not giving a fuck about what the boyfriends of the house thought. I didn’t want to see or hear anything…
In Summer 2016, I graduated and started job hunting while continuing to make videos. Somehow, the videos gained more popularity and I was able to sustain myself on my income from social media alone.
