ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome!

I'm Leah, a woman in my late 30s who loves clothes, make up and all things sparkly.

I'm an older lady, so some of my posts will reflect the issues older skin faces - dryness, wrinkles etc. I'm a rock/metal chick and have 4 tattoos, 2 of which are sizeable ones. At the moment I have a Canon EOS550D which almost all of my blog product/make up/nail photos are taken on. I love Instagram too, and I usually do a weekly round up on a Sunday if I've taken enough photos that week.


WHAT DO I POST ABOUT?
I post outfits, make up, reviews and the odd philosophical conundrum - trying to work it all out by 'speaking' aloud. I'm quite deep, which is a strange contrast to the shallowness of being obsessed with clothes and make up, but there you go! Women are nothing if not complex ;) 

I live in East Sussex in a lovely flat near the sea which has views like this:



WHAT DO I BELIEVE IN?
I strongly believe in equality for all. I'm unashamedly pro-gay marriage, and this blog is for you - gay, straight, bi, male, female, trans*, disabled, able, black, white, brown, old, young, fat, thin, rich, poor - no matter what. We all matter. We all deserve love. I believe in polite, respectful discussion and 'agreeing to disagree' rather than conducting screaming arguments on the net.
