Writing an about me is always awkward, but here we go…

Hello, I’m Hannah

– and I’m embracing life in my 30s.

I launched this blog in 2013 on BlogSpot, after discovering the beauty community online.

What started as a creative outlet quickly became a diary.

It’s a mix of honesty, creativity, and connection, all in one place.

What I write about

Anything I want to. I talk about a wide range of topics, from beauty to personal experiences. And over time, I’ve developed recurring series that bring me joy to share on the blog each year.

The August Review features long-term product reviews – no hype, just honest thoughts.
Calendar Countdown compares beauty advent calendars year-on-year to help you decide what’s worth your money.
Halloween is my favourite time for content – from makeup looks and DIY ideas to treat bags and costumes ideas.
Gift Guides are my way of helping you find the perfect present, whether it’s for Christmas, birthdays or just because.
And now, there’s Book Games – a fun new addition! I create Bookopoly and Book Bingo boards to help spark joy in your reading life and make picking your next book a little more exciting.

Life with Stitch the stoma & Ulcerative Colitis

In 2014, I was diagnosed with a form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease called Ulcerative Colitis. After years of treatment, I had stoma surgery in 2020, later a subtotal colectomy in 2022 and a proctectomy in 2024. I share my story openly to raise awareness and support others going through similar journeys.
