HAIR HORRORS | SURVIVAL GUIDE HOW TO SURVIVE A TRIP TO THE HAIR SALON | ALITTLEKIRAN

BEAUTY BLOGGER MISCONCEPTIONS | WHAT BEING A BEAUTY BLOGGER IS REALLY LIKE | ALITTLEKIRAN

Beauty bloggers are far from rare at this moment in time, and I happen to fall into the “beauty blogger” category, but despite popular belief we are not all the same. It’s not all marble, or white, backdrops, rose gold, Starbucks and sponsored posts. There are many misconceptions surrounding beauty bloggers and I am here […]

BEAUTY CONFESSION | WHY I DON’T WEAR RED LIPSTICK | ALITTLEKIRAN

Image source: zoella.com Anyone can pull off red lipstick. I have heard this so many times.

I […]

JUNE ROUND UP AND FAVOURITES | ALITTLEKIRAN

FEELING 22 | 22 THINGS I HAVE LEARNT | ALITTLEKIRAN

So, I am 22 today (June 7th) and this little fact is freaking me out a little. Age is a funny thing. It is so strange that when you’re little you think being an adult must be the best thing in the world and then when you finally are an adult you feel like you […]

WHITE LINES | MAKEUP INSPIRATION AND COMPARISON CHAT | ALITTLEKIRAN

MISSJAZMINAD White lips, pale face.  Breathing in the snowflakes.  Burnt lungs, sour taste.  I have writer’s block, or maybe that’s the wrong term. I never run out of ideas, in fact I almost always have about seventeen post titles and outlines written out in the Notes app on my phone. But for some reason, none […]

MONDAY MORNING INSPIRATION | ON BOTH KNEES POEM | ALITTLEKIRAN

I found this poem on Tumblr a long time ago and I have been haunted, since, by how beautiful it is. To me, this captures entirely what love is all about. I am not a hugely social person and I don’t date a lot at all, possibly because I am so impatient and it is so […]

Alessia Cara Concert | Music | ALITTLEKIRAN

The Return of Blogmas | ALITTLEKIRAN

As always, it is almost halfway into the month before I decide to hop onto the bandwagon and join the latest blogging trend. I have done Blogmas before – where I post daily in the month of December – and thoroughly enjoyed it. Admittedly, I have not been posting nearly as much as I should […]

Blog Award | ALITTLEKIRAN

The beautiful Priya from LashesLifeLipstick nominated my tiny little blog for an award, which just fills my cold, dead heart with endless amounts of joy. The award, in case you’re wondering, is called the Liebster Award and it requires nominees to follow some rules which are: Make a post thanking and linking the person who nominated […]

The Don’t Judge Challenge | ALITTLEKIRAN

Honestly, I thought nothing could reduce my lack of faith in humanity more so than has already happened, but yet again the universe and little idiots on social media have, naturally, proved me wrong. If you’re not familiar with the #DontJudgeChallenge that has taken off on various social media platforms, essentially it’s just teenagers drawing […]

Twenty-one | ALITTLEKIRAN

It is the 7th July, exactly a month since I turned 21 and I wanted to write a little post about it. I was in Greece on my birthday, on the actual day I spent the early hours on a bench in Santorini listening to music and admiring the views waiting for our bus to […]

Dreams | Life of the Party

Any acoustic Shawn Mendes song is going to be featured on my blog. He recently released an acoustic version of Life of the Party and needless to say I am utterly in love with it. I love acoustic covers and Shawn’s voice is so unique. It’s a great song and you can check it out […]

Elastic Heart ♥

Having a bit of a Sia love-fest at the moment and I came across this beautiful cover and mash-up by Connor Maynard. He is apparently still making music and it is good.

#DearMe | ALITTLEKIRAN

I have been seeing this video a lot and I thought it was a cool idea. #DearMe is about giving your younger self advice, what do you wish you had known when you were a child or a teenager? I believe it is a component of International Women’s Day. Keep reading if you are interested […]
