    From the Archive: ‘My Roaccutane Experience’ (November 10th 2018)

    I originally documented my experience of being on Roaccutane with monthly updates and weekly progress photos on my previous lifestyle blog Thginkcm. However, as this blog is now deleted, I unfortunately have lost the majority of these posts, along with their photos. I have been able to salvage two posts from this series, my Roaccutane Month Three update, as well as the below post on my overall Roaccutane experience. I appreciate these posts won’t mean as much without the context of being able to track the progress of my skin, or as many of the original photos, however I still wanted to preserve the two posts I could save. The…

    From the Archive: ‘Three Days in New York’ (September 18th 2018)

    Over the summer I was lucky enough to spend three days in New York, while on holiday. I had only been once before on a school trip, so it was really nice to go back and visit places I hadn’t managed to see the first time. The last time I had visited New York was in October, so it felt completely different to see everything in the summertime too. We were a little more sleepy starting the trip than we had hoped that we’d be, as our flight across from London had been delayed quite a bit, meaning that we didn’t actually land in New York until after midnight. Not…

    From the Archive: ‘Six Food Tips For Freshers’ (September 11th 2018)

    Moving to university, or even just moving away from home for the first time, brings with it a lot of new challenges and things to learn. One of the biggest of these, perhaps, is learning how to cook for yourself. Cooking for one can be enough of a challenge on its own, and that’s before you even have to think about making sure you have a decent and somewhat healthy/ balanced diet (I hate to tell you, but the novelty of the beige food does start to wear off eventually)! When I first moved to uni I had very little clue about what I was doing in terms of cooking…

  • Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue From the Archive Thginkcm post from 2018

    From the Archive: ‘Review: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue’ (June 16th 2018)

    As I near the end of my first tube of Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue I thought it would be a good time to share my love for this product! I originally purchased this in preparation for starting Roaccutane, anticipating that my skin would become too dry to continue using my other current favourite foundation, the L’Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation. Due to the Complexion Rescue being a little bit more pricey at ÂŁ28, I decided to go to my nearest Bare Minerals counter at Debenhams and get colour matched beforehand. I definitely didn’t want to run the risk of spending that much and having an orange face – a mistake that I…
