Hiya! Firstly happy new year to each and every one of you! I don’t know about you, but I’m actually quite glad (for now) to see the back of feeling like a stuffed turkey on wine to be honest haha… As lovely as it all was of course. But here we are in a newContinue reading “Ella May Beauty in 2023…”

Hola hola! How are we? It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these I know, but some things are better late than never eh haha? Yeahhh, I think so… So with the sudden shift of weather here in the UK (it’s suddenly turned freezing hasn’t it!) and the colder & darker nights drawingContinue reading “Let’s talk… The importance of looking after yourself!”

Aloha! Happy new year one and all! I’m probably breaking many rules on the ’when is too late to say ’happy new year’’ here… but oh well; rules are there to be broken right haha? So HAPPY NEW YEAR! To start the year off well (albeit a month and a quite a few days late…)Continue reading “Let’s talk… SPF in winter!”

Hello hello! I know it’s been a while… but I’m back! How are we all? I don’t know about you, but I’m now fully vaccinated and am sooo grateful to have had it done and to feel more protected from the certain virus which is rather prominent in our day to day lives now (can’tContinue reading “Let’s talk… The part of returning to ’normal’ that nobody talks about!”

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening… How are we all? Okay, I know I always, always make weather references at the start of these, but can someone PLEASE tell me what’s going on with this weather? It’s hard to keep up with isn’t it haha… But while there’s not much we can do change it,Continue reading “Let’s talk… My TempleSpa favourites!”

Hellooooo! Oh my word. I am actually sitting in the sun, in England(!!) writing this! What is going on haha? Although I don’t know about you but I’m awfully glad it’s pretty much (I know it doesn’t feel like it some days) spring. However; A. Where on earth has that time gone? And B. HasContinue reading “Let’s talk… TempleSpa!”

Ello Ello! Ooooh this time in 24 hours we’ll all be allowed to meet up with 5 friends outside legally again, how exciting! Never in a million years did I think we’d ever not be able to do this, but here we are haha! Roll on the summer eh! Anywayyy… speaking of time, this weekContinue reading “Let’s talk… Product expiration!”

Helloooo! Happy Monday all! I have been FAFFING all week/weekend with anything and everything to avoid doing something that actually requires thought haha… Anyone else have these moments? I hope so, as I’m fully aware I’m making myself sound like I hate writing these posts (which I definitely don’t), I’m clearly just in full procrastinationContinue reading “Let’s talk… Turning flexitarian!”

Ello ello! Blimey, I’m sure these weeks go past quicker and quicker each week haha… but hope everyone’s had a good one? The news of the ‘roadmap out of lockdown’ is somewhat exciting isn’t it? Whether it’ll stick is another story altogether, but lets keep everything crossed that we’re starting to see the light atContinue reading “Let’s talk… At home gel nail kits!”

Ciao! How are we all doing these last couple of weeks? I have to admit, I for one have felt a bit weird these last couple of weeks (hence breaking my weekly post pledge, oops…). I don’t really know why exactly, but I think the whole; ‘I have no idea what day it is’ doesn’tContinue reading “Let’s talk… Working abroad!”

Bonjour! Looks like I’m back to globetrotting with my opening greetings now doesn’t it? Where shall we go next week eh? Italy, Spain, Croatia…? Literally, I wish! Anyway, hello! Don’t mind me just dreaming of holiday destinations over here… Who’s looking forward to our second bout of snow this weekend? Although if you’re a BrightonianContinue reading “Let’s talk… Concealer as foundation!”

Hello… again! Blimey, don’t these weeks fly by at the moment eh! But then again, they probably always have done and it might just the fact that I have too much time on my hands at the moment to actually think about it…? Yeah I reckon that’s it haha. Anyway, I hope you’re all doingContinue reading “Let’s talk… Self love!”

Ello ello! How are we all? I’m currently sitting here at 11pm starting this as I completely, completely forgot it was Thursday evening (anyone else not sure what day it is at the moment haha?) as I’m determined not to break my pledged weekly Friday post, well quite frankly, on week 3… Before I startContinue reading “Let’s talk… Niacinamide!”

Helloooo! Hello again, well isn’t this going to be nice having one of these every week for the foreseeable (I’m very much hoping the feeling is mutual there…) The only thing is, is I feel like I’m going to run out of opening lines soon uh oh… Anyway, I hope everyone is doing okay still!?Continue reading “Let’s talk… Self confidence!”

Hello ello! How is everyone doing? Enjoying lockdown 3.0? (Don’t feel you need to answer that one haha…). I know we’re all fed up talking of talking about a certain virus by now, so all I will say is I hope you’re all coping okay, continuing to stick to the rules and managing to notContinue reading “Let’s talk… nails!”

Bonjour! Happy (belated) Christmas & Happy (early) New Years! It’s officially the week of ‘what day is it?’ Isn’t it? Haha. Anyway, hope you all had/have a good one, even it it’s probably primarily indoors! I for one have eaten far too much chocolate, eaten too many Pringles and listened to slightly too many ChristmasContinue reading “My 2020 hit or miss list!”

Hello hello! How is everyone doing with good ol’ lockdown 2.0? It’s getting a bit boring now isn’t it… Now, I am fully aware that once again this isn’t a beauty related post (I need to be careful here that the corona posts don’t overtake the beauty posts on here, oopsy haha…), but quite franklyContinue reading “What a blooming weird year!”

Hola! Can someone please explain how it’s September, nearly October already? This year has honestly gone by like the click of your fingers hasn’t it, It’s scary! Although one perk is that the Christmas chocolate tins are in the supermarkets now… See, there really is a positive in everything eh ;). Anyway, back to skincare.Continue reading “Go easy man!”

Hello Hello! I’m back! How’s everyone doing? It feels like it’s been AGES since I’ve wrote one of these (might have something to do with now being back at work? Maybe?…). But as it turns out, I can remember how to navigate my own website to be able to write a new post, yay! Sooooo,Continue reading “Sun Protection Factor!”

Hey you lovely people! How is everyone? I had the ‘Lockdown birthday’ experience last week. It’s an interesting one isn’t it! Even though it didn’t feel overly different, it did. Does that make any sense at all haha? Anyway, I had a great one and now I’ve stopped drinking and eating crap, I thought I’dContinue reading “Retinol, retinol, retinol…”

Hello ello, How is everyone? I’m currently sitting looking at my orchid next to my desk that I thought I may have possibly killed, thinking it’s actually looking like it finally has some life in it again. This is clearly what lockdown has come to now… how sad haha. Minus my super interesting orchid story,Continue reading “My skincare, the extra bits…”

Hiya! Hope everyone’s coping with our friend (more like enemy, but friend sounds better right?) ‘rona at the moment still? Things seem to be looking up don’t they! Slowly but surely, but lets keep positive.

Helloooo, How’s everyone doing? What a grey old week, eh? This wasn’t a post I was planning on writing, but hey, here we are haha (I promise I will continue to do more on ‘Beauty’ soon though). I thought I’d write this one as a bit of an extension to My Coronavirus Isolation Experience, but,Continue reading “My isolation experience, part 2…”

Hello Hello! Hope everyone’s okay! I’m currently sitting at my desk writing this at 11pm on a Monday night (hold on I think its Monday let me check… it is, just!) as corona has completely thrown my sleep pattern out of whack and time currently is not an issue. Anyone else feel me? So thisContinue reading “Dairy… Does it affect skin?”

Hellooooo! Hope you’re all good. I’m currently writing this sitting looking out my window (I’m not as sad as I sound, promise) and it’s absolutely chucking it down. The typical English weather is BACK! I wondered how long the sun would last… It actually exceeded my expectation to be honest haha! Anyway, back to this.Continue reading “Skin, skin, skin…”
