So this morning, after a bit of a broken night (1.30am, 3am & 5am wake ups…) I was browsing stories and the wonderful Hannah Gale’s feed popped up with a link to her latest post on -

One of my favorite posts to read from Emily are her style posts where she shares her favorite outfits for the season. I usually share new finds or what I’m wearing on a given day -

As someone with ridiculously dry skin AND psoriasis on my scalp, I’m happy to be nudging you a bit on today’s post to pay a little attention to your scalp. I’m not one that goes a few days between washing my hair. I usually don’t go more... -

Not that I’m becoming an expert on earplugs or anything (I am) but I have discovered some foam ones with quite a useful feature. The official, technical term for this feature is “slow rebound” but to you and I, it’s “foam that takes a... -

one. two. three. four. five. six. seven. eight. nine. ten. I’m more of a night owl than Justin but we try to get ready for bed around the same time in the evening. Our kids go to bed at 7:00pm so we usually have about 2 hours together before he... -

Sephora is running another event and this time it’s the Holiday Bonus Beauty Insider Event! This is the best time to stock up on favorites or explore new items that you’ve had your eye on. I was in store recently and their holiday kits this... -

This week I went along to the second Independent Beauty Expo event – a trade show type of event, featuring a huge selection of independent beauty brands. Across everything from male grooming, to cosmetics, skincare or hair care.The post... -

It’s the much-anticipated new Top 25 list of brand founders, distributors, journalists and retailers fuelling the green beauty industry onward and upward  – at a very healthy pace, lately! Here’s who made it on to this year’s list –... -

(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) After my latest video I had almost as many questions about the cardigan I was wearing as the skincare products I featured – something about the striped cuffs seemed... -

First things first, we have a super casual wardrobe here at Small Things HQ. You may notice my husband’s beloved Crocs (with socks no less) and a Duke t-shirt. This is *pretty much* his daily wardrobe except for an occasional swap with an... -

This is a paid advertorial with -

Dry brushing seems to be the latest health craze (just take a look on your Instagram feed). While the technique has been around for centuries (it’s the oldest body care trick in the book — quite literally!), its recent resurgence can be... -

No one can do a beautiful dimensional face palette quite like Charlotte Tilbury. I’ve been a fan of the brand for years, and as soon as I saw this new palette launch on a promotional e-mail I got, I immediately clicked through to learn more. It... -

Considering the amount of havoc we wreak on our hair on a daily basis, we probably only give it a fraction of the TLC it deserves. From highlighting and blow drying to straightening and ponytails – we put our mane through some serious abuse. Not... -

A new video for you here, but as it’s proved to be such a popular one already I’ll give you a bit of an extended blurb. The Five Beauty Products that Changed My Skin has a slightly confusing title, I suppose, because it’s more about the five... -

After the best summer in living memory (for me, at least; those older have enjoyed banging on about the summer of ’76 which was, of course, hotter, longer and tougher) we find ourselves hurtling into autumn. The leaves are starting to fall, the... -

Here’s one for those of you who wanted a more affordable take on the “floral noir” trend; a delightfully frippy little number that’s almost more lingerie than it is clothing, thanks to the pretty lace trim and tie-front. Obviously... -

I feel like a universal term that almost every woman knows, whether she’s into makeup or not, is “smokey eye”. It all started with Cleopatra, but thankfully we have more options now and it doesn’t typically go from lash line to brow... -

I went away for six whole nights (I went for the days too, obviously, otherwise it would have been a logistical nightmare) and I took my little vlogging camera with me to document the trip. I’ve called the resulting video – wait for this,... -
