For the past three years, I have been working incredibly hard on my blog, trying to create high-quality content to appeal to all of you. The Perks of Mollie Quirk started as a hobby and is now not only this, but is now used as a portfolio of my writing skills to contribute towards myself getting into my dream career - so I can become a successful journalist. Writing is something I adore, something I do constantly and something I couldn't imagine myself not undertaking as a career and it's thanks to this blog that I have improved my skills so much. Over the three years I have been putting my heart and soul into my little space on the internet, this blog has accumulated over 100,000 page views which I am incredibly thankful for. Keep on reading to hear a little more about the past three years and how blogging has changed my life for the better...

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year - it's a time when families come together, friends unite to exchange gifts and love, passion and togetherness combine to create the most festive, warm and beautiful atmosphere.

I'm a girl myself, so I know exactly what girls want and this is why I have put this fabulously festive and incredibly luxurious gift guide together.

My skin was going through a major rough patch last week; it needed a massive kick in the right direction. Covered in spots, uneven skin tone and super oily. I needed a miracle. And then I realised I was yet to try these two little gems by 'Good Things'...

Being the crazy cat lady I am, when I saw Primark had collaborated with one of the world's most famous cats, I actually screamed with excitement. Grumpy Cat, whose real name is actually Tardar Sauce, is one of the most famous cats in the world. Grumpy Cat has a form of dwarfism, which is the cause of her permanently unhappy facial expression, although her owners claim she is just a normal happy kitty, 99% of the time. Tarar has a brother, Pokey, a little black and white kitty, who looks a lot like a chubbier, fluffier version of my cat, Carnaby! Tardar only has photo sessions once per week and is rarely handled by strangers, unless on tour, as he is at the moment. Grumpy Cat became famous in 2012 after a photo posted on the social media site, Reddit, shot to fame.. and then Grumpy Cat, the kitty meme king was born!

Liquid Matte Lipsticks are ALL of the rage these days. Thanks to Miss Kylie Jenner, girls are going absolutely crazy for any kind of matte liquid lipstick. I desperately want one of her matte lip kits and would absolutely LOVE to own one, but they are ridiculously hard to get ahold of plus the price is a little extreme, as are the customs and shipping costs. So I have been on the hunt for a drugstore liquid matte lipstick that ticks all of my boxes. I have found three INCREDIBLE matte lippies, one of which is my ALL time fave and a total dupe for one of the Kylie Lip Kit shades, OH MAH GAWD!

Bullying is an awful thing. Many people in this world have experienced it, if not first hand, they may have seen somebody else experience it or they may have even bullied somebody themselves. 50% of young people have bullied somebody else and 30% of those will do it weekly. This is simply shocking and so unexpected, but bullying isn't just being punched or kicked, bullying is so much more.

After what seems like the longest break ever from YouTube, I've decided to make a comeback, but this time, for good.

I was contacted by an incredible, new, fresh and vibrant fashion brand with some incredible ethics behind them. As you all know, I'm not skinny. I have an arse, a rather big one in fact. I hate my bum as it's always difficult to buy clothing for. I always have to go up a size for my bottom clothing as my bum just stops me from being one size, which is so annoying. So when Rita and Phill pitched their skirts to me, asking me to try one of them out, I just couldn't refuse. Keep reading to unveil the massive 30% discount code!

Whilst on the hunt for some new indulgent bathing accompaniments, I discovered Café de Bain's Indulgent Bath Crèmes.
