Two Days in Paris

Last week, my two friends & I went to Paris for two days! We've all been there before so we thought we'd cut out the sightseeing and spend a day at Disneyland. The other day was spent wandering around and eating (of course)! I apologise in advance for the length of this post... Accommodation: We stayed at Hotel Choiseul Opera which we got for a pretty decent price. The hotel is in a great location and there are...

Breakfast in the Sky: Duck & Waffle, London.

On my boyfriend's birthday, we went to Duck & Waffle for breakfast! He hadn't been there before so I thought I'd make it a little extra special and book a table for breakfast during sunrise. So there we were, 6:30am in the morning, still half asleep. It was too early in the morning to have a proper breakfast, but being the people that we are... we went for one anyway!  I opted for the Ox Cheek Benedict, and David opted for the...

An Autumn Shade.

So autumn has come so I’ve brought out the autumn shades for my nails. My current favourite is this lovely grey-toned green from Essie called vested interest. I love grey-toned polishes all year round but particularly in autumn & this shade makes green so wearable.  What nail polishes are you loving at the moment? ...

A Random Haul.

Sorry for the iPhone photo but I just wanted to share some things I got today. I haven't really shopped in a while so I was happy to get some things which I really love! Scarves: I'm a sucker for scarves and I got a couple of new ones although it is still warm here in the UK. I've been wanting a light tartan scarf for a while and it's so hard to find one with the right colours, I love the one I got from Zara! I also got another snuggly scarf...

Longleat Safari & Adventure Park.

So a couple of weeks ago, me & my boyfriend spent our bank holiday Monday at Longleat Safari & Adventure Park. We actually spent the day before in Bath and Bristol so it was only an hour drive away. As expected, the weather was horrible, it rained all day but we wanted to go and so we went!  When we collected our tickets, we were also given a map and a CD which we had to play throughout the safari. Everyone starts off with the...

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes I actually read this book a few months ago, I actually finished in during uni because I based one of my projects on the story. It's about a guy who has a low IQ and goes through an experimental operation to become smarter. It's a really touching story and it's about so much more than just someone becoming smarter, I loved all the themes in this book and I'd defo recommend it to everyone. It's an easy read too! Kafka...

An awesome body duo.

I think I have quite possibly found the best smelling body products ever!  Last week I was having a browse around & other stories on Regent street when I came across a scent I couldn't forget. I love the beauty section in there, especially their bath and body range and I own the Shinjuku Bloom body lotion which smells lovely.  Anyway, as I was browsing I sampled the Méditerranéen body soufflé which smelt amazing! I then thought...

Wright Brothers, London.

It was my birthday on Monday and I've been constantly spoilt, I've been out for a few meals and no one has let me pay for anything (yes i am complaining)! On my actual birthday my boyfriend took me to Wright Brothers in Soho for Dinner. I've been wanting to go for a while so I was really excited! Oysters: Colchester Rocks, UK // £8 & Gillardeau Speciales, FR // £12.50 Dressed Oysters: Soya & flying fish roe // £8.25 & Chilli Jam...

A Lancome Bi-Facil Dupe.

I love Lancome's Bi-Facil (£21) and I have gone through numerous bottles of the stuff, I have even found the perfect cotton pads to use with it. I use waterproof mascara so anything without oil will have a hard time getting it off.  Recently, I picked up L'oreal's Absolute Make-up remover (£5.49) which is just as good as the Bi-Facil but for the fraction of the price. It does have more of an oily residue but I always cleanse...

Monthly desk planner.

It is the last day of June so I though I'd give out a little freebie! I have a small planner that I keep with me but I have been wanting some sort of monthly desk planner that I can keep at my desk to see an overall view on deadlines and plans for the month! I had a look online and there were quite a few monthly desk pads but there was nothing I really wanted so I thought why not just design my own! It saves me some £££ too!  I wanted something...

Shoryu, London.

Another ramen post! The last time me and my boyfriend went to Shoryu was sometime last summer and at the time we didn't think it was anything special. Ever since then we have been having our ramen fix at Bone Daddies so a couple weeks ago we thought we'd give Shoryu another try (just to make sure). This time we visited the Soho branch... The first thing I usually take notice of at a restaurant is the menu, not the actual food but the design...

Recipe: Korean Spicy Rice Cakes

I love Korean food and over the past year I have learnt to make a few of my favourite Korean dishes. I thought I'd share my easy Korean Spicy Rice Cakes recipe today which is great as a snack or starter.  This recipe has been adapted from a mixture of different recipes that I have looked at over the year. I don't cook regularly so I like to keep things simple, after trial and error this is the one that I have come up with that is both easy...

A trip to Brighton.

Two weekends ago me & my family went to Brighton for a little trip. We stayed in a lovely little apartment just across the road from the beach.  Before we went I did some research on places to eat, the list ended up being really long and we were only there for one full day and night. In the end I decided for us to go to The Creperie for breakfast/lunch and then to The Coal Shed for dinner, however The Coal Shed had no tables left...
