PLEASE NOTE: This is a review for the original La Fumée, not any of the fragrances that are part of the La Fumée collection.

La Fumée is beautiful fragrance centered around one of my favourite notes in perfumery, incense. La Fumée, translated into english, means "smoke", and that's precisely what you get with this scent.

December 2014 Favourites!!!

Hi everyone! (long time, no speak)

I hope 2015 is treating you well. I know it's customary to post your "favourites of the month" blog at the start of the next month, but here's mine anyway!

This is my first "monthly favourites" post, and my lists will consist of literally anything I have enjoyed in the previous month.

Here is a list of some of my favourite things from December 2014!

Check out my sister's blog!

Hi everyone! 

I hope you have all had an excellent Christmas, holiday season and New Year!

I'll be updating this blog with some new posts very soon, but right now I want to share my sister's new blog with you.

You can find her at http://poppysconstellations.wordpress.com/

She's published some really great beauty blogs and fragrance reviews on there.
So if you're interested in that sort of thing, you should definitely check her out!

Song Stories - "What Songs Mean To Me". Story One: The Morning Fog by Kate Bush

Hi everyone!

This is the first part of a series of blogs that I will post sporadically.
This new series is called 'Song Stories' where I will be sharing stories behind many of my favourite songs, telling you all about exactly what that song means to me.

If you've been following my music career for a while, you may remember I had something similar to this on my music blog were I would share the story behind songs that I had written.
However, I decided to stop doing that because I felt it can distract people from having their own stories and connection to songs that I've written.

Anyway, as you may know, I love everything about music. Music is something that's very personal to me, and it's something I'm very passionate about. I often develop strong connections to songs that I hear and love, so I thought it would be cool to share those connections with you!

My first song story is about 'The Morning Fog' by Kate Bush!
