MakeUp Eraser (Hallelujah!)

Posted on February 7, 2016 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

I put on make-up for work 4 times a week. Sometimes I go out and put some on. I also clean my face twice a day. All of this requires cotton pads. A LOT of cotton pads. And while they’re cheap, they’re just a massive load of waste. And make-up removal products never really take … Continue reading →

I’ve been dying my hair for more than a decade now, and have tried most of what’s out there: I started with L’Oréal Color Pulse when I was 15 or so, then moved on to highlights at the hairdresser’s then a full tint, then bright red tips, then purple and dark red, then back to … Continue reading →

The Sigma Brush Cleaner

Posted on January 31, 2016 by Diary of a Chocaholic • 1 Comment

Before Christmas, I indulged in a little make-up brush buying frenzy and ended up with 3 different sets of Real Techniques brushes. They’re AMAZING and I absolutely love them. However, if you use them every day, they do tend to get dirty. Very dirty. Foundation is a sticky business, and especially if you’ve got bad … Continue reading →

The Fifth Wave

Posted on January 30, 2016 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

I really liked the first Divergent movies, and I’m a mahoosive fan of The Host. If you step away from the young adult genre, I simply adore any adventure/end of the world/let’s save the planet film (The Core, Deep Impact, Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, Dante’s Peak, Volcano and so on…). So when my flatmate … Continue reading →

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

I had to wait almost 2 weeks to go see the new Star Wars, because of course it was released in the UK the day before my flight home for Christmas, and as much as I’m a Star Wars fan, I wasn’t going to dump the family to go see it over the festive season. … Continue reading →

The Big Short

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

I’ve never really understood what exactly happened in the 2007 Wall Street crash. Something about banks lying about mortgages… I’ve since found a video that explains it really well. Anyway, after seeing the trailer for The Big Short several times, I though, you know what? Why the hell not, let’s go watch something intelligent. In … Continue reading →

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. It’s awesome! Here’s an excerpt: A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,400 times in 2015. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people. Click … Continue reading →

New Shows I’ll Keep Watching

Posted on December 10, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

As usual, the new (school) year brought with it an avalanche of TV shows that had three months to make or break. Knowing me, knowing you (ahaaaa), we watched a nice selection to see if they were any good. Here’s my take on the ones I’ll tune in again on when they return after Christmas. … Continue reading →

Bridge Of Spies

Posted on December 5, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

Based on a true story, Spielberg’s new movie is powerful, gritty and political. Set during the Cold War, it follows insurance lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks) as he’s offered a case unlike any other: defending a convicted Russian spy, Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance). At first reluctant, Donovan accepts the case as the CIA starts to … Continue reading →

The Good Dinosaur

Posted on December 5, 2015 by Diary of a Chocaholic • Leave a comment

Let’s imagine for a second that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs just passed us by. They’d rule the Earth right? Well at least Pixar thinks so. Set in what would be the USA now (some of it looked like Utah to me), the story revolves around this Apatosaurus family which is peacefully tending … Continue reading →
