NETFLIX PICKS | RAPID FIRE NETFLIX REVIEWS FIVE SERIES AND FIVE FILMS | ALITTLEKIRAN

Probably not the obvious choice for the first post of the new year, but if, like me, you have New Year’s Day off having a few solid Netflix picks in the bank to pass a few hours can come really handy. Here are a few things I have been watching over the past few days, […]

HOW TO BATTLE THE WINTER BLUES

I definitely identify as more of a winter person than a summer person, I would pick the cold over the hot any day of the week, but the one thing I cannot stand about winter is the severe and chronic lack of daylight in my life during these cold months. I love scarves, a brisk […]

SEPTEMBER GOALS | ALITTLEKIRAN

We are already a week into September, notably I feel very different to how I feel typically would feel at the start of a new month which is the predictable *gasp* where has the time gone *shocked expression*. This year, much like last year, has been a complete mixed bag and I have been taking […]

MAY FAVOURITES | MUSIC | ALITTLEKIRAN

I cannot believe May is basically over, June is going to be one hell of a month. I do intend on completing a beauty favourites post but in the meantime let’s chill out and share some music I have been listening to lately. I have been slacking massively on the blog front, honestly I am […]

HOME AGAIN | THE THINGS I MISSED MOST WHILE BEING AWAY FROM HOME | ALITTLEKIRAN

I arrived back home yesterday for the Christmas period and have a stretch of three glorious weeks where I can be in my happiest place. Being in London for the past three months has been a bit of a wake-up-call for me. I struggled more than I thought possible, I have always been someone who […]

NOVEMBER GOALS | ALITTLEKIRAN

It feels like I have ditched monthly favourites for monthly goals here on my blog and although that seems representative of my maturity levels, I am not sure I dig it. Rest assured I just placed an outrageous ASOS order so expect a haul super soon. Without further ado, let’s jump into my November goals […]

JACK WILLS | WOOL & WHISKY EVENT | ALITTLEKIRAN

Thus far, I have been to two London blogger events and I am insanely happy. I have fantasised about being the kind of person that attends blogger events and, although it doesn’t fit with my strong affliction for staying in my pajamas and reading in bed all day, I can say the novelty has not […]

OCTOBER GOALS | ALITTLEKIRAN

October is my favourite month because of Halloween and the run-up to Christmas, the fact that boots are completely appropriate footwear and jumpers are in every single shop, Zara scarves and the gorgeous orange of pumpkins. There is no end to the reasons I love October, the influx of horror movies on Film 4 and […]

A SIMPLE GUIDE ABOUT THE MANY WAYS YOU CAN GIVE BACK

I think most of us all have the thought that we want to give back but we just don’t know where to start.

WORRY DOES NOT TAKE AWAY TOMORROW’S TROUBLES IT TAKES AWAY TODAY’S PEACE | ALITTLEKIRAN

An unusual, late night post for you all today, only because I have a lot on my mind. I have been feeling quite weighed down recently. A lot of changes are about to happen. I touched on this in my August Goals and just want to be brutally honest and get really real for a […]

HOMESLICE | LITERALLY THE BEST PIZZA IN LONDON | ALITTLEKIRAN

This is no average pizza place, let me tell you, a couple of weeks ago I was visiting some friends that have recently moved near Shoreditch and on a rainy Saturday we braved the drizzly weather in search of decent food. Homeslice was on my friend’s list and I seriously trust her pizza recs as […]

THE BEST AND WORST THINGS ABOUT BLOGGING | ALITTLEKIRAN

Blogging is an ever-changing phenomenon and I am constantly seeing posts on how the industry and people’s feelings towards blogging has changed, negatively. I wanted to shake things up and discuss both the good and the bad superficially. There are some truly shitty things that can happen in the blogging industry, but there are also […]

KICK ASS SINGLE GIRL VALENTINE’S DAY GUIDE

Personally, I love Valentine’s Day in spite of my single girl badge. It just seems like a great day to me where everyone celebrates love, all kinds of love and not just romantic love. I do understand that it is little more than a flimsy excuse for shops to sell shedloads of lovey dovey crap […]

8 STEPS TO HELP YOU FEEL MORE LIKE YOURSELF WHEN YOU’RE OFF YOUR GAME | ALITTLEKIRAN

Genuinely, this eternal darkness is really starting to get me down. I have to choose between a much needed lie-in on a weekend or getting up in the freezing cold to take some semi-decent pictures. Guess which one I did today? You got it, sorry, but I slept pretty well. Tomorrow I am going to […]

20 THINGS I HAVE LEARNT BEING A BEAUTY BLOGGER | ALITTLEKIRAN

1. Magazines are a godsend when you can’t find something rose gold, marble, or a candle as a backdrop for your photos.  2. Your background can never be too white, bright or blinding. Fact.  3. It is possible to get tired of the words ‘pop’, ‘creamy’, ‘buttery’ and ‘fleek’. Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable that […]

8 THINGS TO DO BEFORE 2017 | ALITTLEKIRAN

I recently came across this article by Free People entitled: 10 Things You Need To Do Before 2017. I enjoyed the post and wanted to make my own, less about self-fulfillment and cleaning out the cobwebs ready for a new year and more about making the most of this year. So here are 8 things […]

Best Freakshakes in the World Whenever I am in London I spent approximately forty times the amount I would spend in an entire week at home, but I guess that’s half the fun and last weekend I had a lot of fun. On Sunday, my friends and I went on a freakshake run to break […]
