Mario Badescu Anti-Aging Kit Review
If there is one thing I love in skincare, it’s mini-sized products. It lets you try out the product at a smaller size without investing in the full size – this can save you a lot of money if you don’t like it, or the product doesn’t agree with your skin. So a big thank you to brands that make mini-size products available. So, on to the Mario Badescu Anti-Aging Kit Review! Spoiler alert – this anti-ageing kit is really good!

One Year Roses – Do They Really Last One Year?
Maybe you have seen the beautiful, eternity roses packaged and displayed in gorgeous boxes. They are so stunning and eye-catching, but do one-year roses really last one year? In short, no, but the good news is, they last way longer – like I am talking wayyy longer! Seriously, I am stunned at how long these beautiful roses last! And yes they are real roses! I was lucky to receive my Fleur Du Luxe roses for my birthday nearly two years ago, and they still look as beautiful now as the day I received them. These roses bring me so much joy – I mean just look at them, they are…

Grief – My Personal Journey
At the end of January 2019, my world shattered into a million pieces – my husband Paul, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away from a brain aneurysm. The day had been a perfectly normal day, there were no warning signs at all. From that moment on, life has never been the same, and never will be again. My heart aches for Paul, I feel like I have lost half of my identity, and my soul is ripped in two. The pain of my husband’s loss was and still is so overwhelming and extremely painful. Every day is a daily struggle, it is still so raw. I still can’t believe what happened,…

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray Review
Your makeup looks perfect and you are heading out for the day or night, one thing you don’t want to worry about is fussing with your makeup. This is where setting sprays come in handy. I want to share with you my thoughts on Urban Decay All Nighter makeup setting spray. Setting sprays or finishing sprays are exactly as they sound, they set your makeup in place. After you have applied your makeup, setting sprays hold your makeup in place all day and night.

Discovering Swarovski Crystal Bracelets
I thought I would share with you a possible gift idea for either yourself or someone special. I was fortunate to receive not one, but two Swarovski crystal bracelets this year. These bracelets are gorgeous and I am always complimented on them. For Valentine’s day, I received the Crystaldust Double Bangle in grey from my husband, and for my birthday I received the Slake Pulse Bracelet in black from my friend (how lucky was I!). I adore both of these bracelets, they are both so beautiful. I had always thought of Swarovski as only selling expensive crystal animal figurines – which are stunning, and I have been tempted by them…

Get Paid To Shop Online With ShopBack
Who doesn’t like to get free cash?! I certainly do, and I was thrilled to hear that when I shop online I can get rewarded with cash from a company called ShopBack. How brilliant does this sound – and there is absolutely no catch! Hard to believe, but true! So many people are now shopping online anyway, so extra cash is a bonus for our normal shopping habits. I love to shop online for many reasons; it is so easy, I can shop at 10 pm at night in my PJ’s if I choose. I get access to items that are not available in my local stores. I can also…

Why Serums Should Be A Skincare Staple
Today I am talking about facial serums, and why I think they should be a staple in a good skincare routine. Up until last year, I had never used a serum before. I thought serums were just an opportunity for the skincare industry to make more money from us, but I was wrong – so wrong! After walking past a mirror I rarely look in by my front door with plenty of natural light hitting it (wow, natural light can be so unforgiving!), I was mortified when I saw quite a large, deep wrinkle on the top of my cheekbone. I know wrinkles are part of life, and I do…

Have You Discovered Jo Malone London?
I have always loved perfume. But it’s only been the last few years I have started to wear higher-end fragrances again after falling in love with YSL’s Black Opium (read my post here). I had never heard of Jo Malone London before, but I was captivated when I first saw their display in a department store. It looked so luxurious, with clean crisp white furniture, and beautiful clear understated bottles – it was simply stunning. There are so many tester bottles of perfume on display (it was a bit overwhelming, but exciting at the same time), but there was one scent that had me hooked straight away – enter Mimosa…

How I Changed Up My Boot Game
Today I am talking about boots – this is an absolute rediscovery moment for me. I have always really loved boots – however, for the past few decades (wow, I am feeling old right now!) every winter I have worn a black pair of boots to death, then the following winter replaced them with another pair of black boots, and again worn them out, each year the same! I have worn only black boots every single year, but this year I have changed up my boot game!

Araluen’s Stunning Tulip Festival
Today on Rediscovering My Style I am talking about something different. I wanted to share with you one of my favourite places where I live in Perth, Western Australia; the beautiful Araluen Botanic Park. If you are ever in Perth, and love parks and gardens, you definitely need to put Araluen on your “to see” list – it is such a beautiful, tranquil park. I went there recently with my husband and daughter during Araluen’s annual Tulip festival – we had missed out on it last year, as Tulips only flower for a limited period of time. So this year I wanted to make sure we didn’t miss out, as…
