The Pumpkin LifeMy new obsession is Obsession make-up. Obsession is a cruelty-free and vegan brand which produces affordable, good quality make-up. I was curious to try the brand and found them in my local Boots. I have tried a number of products and I would recommend everything that I’ve used. Here are my thoughts: Foundation Mixing Drops […]
In November, I went Disney bounding for the first time in Walt Disney World Florida. Disney bounding is wearing clothes to replicate a character without being a costume. Adults are not allowed wear costumes in Disney (unless it is Halloween) so Disney bounding is a nice way to dress up without getting in any trouble […]
For 2018 I decided to embark on a 52 weeks of kindness challenge. It was a fantastic experience and it is certainly something I will continue in 2019. Here’s a brief summary of each week: Week 1 Donate unwanted Christmas presents. Donate to a refuge, homeless service, hospital, direct provision centre, animal sanctuary etc. […]

It has been a while since I have blogged and a lot has changed, to begin with, I have a whole new website and blog name. I’m thrilled to now be The Pumpkin Life and I feel it is much more fitting and appropriate. I can’t think of a better brand for my first blog […]

I’m conscious that I don’t want this post to be preachy or judgmental but I really would urge you all to consider using cruelty free cosmetics. There are so many fantastic brands that do not […]
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird Empathy is about understanding. We may not have the exact experience of what another is facing and in some ways we […]
Happy New Year! I have been in a bit of a blogging slump over the last few months but I feel that I have a found a new project which I’m very passionate about and can’t wait to share with all of you. I’m so thrilled to say that today I’m launching 52 Weeks of […]
