I’m back to vlogging! I can only apologise for the lack of any sort of YouTube content, but I needed down time. At the same time it felt good to being back in front of the camera and not worrying about makeup, hair, what I was wearing… and the filming style is very… hodge-podge to … More Nailed It
Alrighty McFrighty! Lets kick this baby off with a super common beauty tip that seems crazy that not everyone knows it! Using a priming/prepping spray (or even water) to make your eye shadow and highlighting POP!

Let’s put a disclaimer on this before anything else is said. I’m not a professional in anything other than business – and even then, it’s only because I’ve worked in business for several years, had/have my own business, and have a qualification in business. I also feel super awkward about using the term “professional”, despite … More Introducing “Pips Pro Tips”

If anything, I’m probably becoming more disturbingly accidentally consciously vegan in my food practices. But I’ll be honest. I like eggs, I love honey, and creamy ice cream is fucking fantastic – … More Not Everyone Should Be Vego/Vegan – an upsetting and controversial stance.

This meant having the action lowered, neck reset, fret and machine heads cleaned and new strings put on it. Everything my … More Trying to get back in to habits

We as staff are taking all manner of tests to gauge our unconscious bias to better understand what it is and how it affects the judgements we make, without realising it. The tests have been amusing, and every time I gain a … More Unconscious Bias and Respectful Relationships
Now, we know I love my books. They’re my preciouseses and I need them with, around, near and on me at all times. But I have indeed confessed to being a e-reader owner as well. I want to compile a short list of pros and cons for both, and kind of explain how (and why) … More Book Vs E-reader
So, a few weeks ago I underwent a dramatic aesthetic change. I chopped all my hair off. I went from Rapunzel to Flynn Rider… but shorter. Ok, maybe not that suave.
