Day out: Elan cafe and Glamour beauty festival!

Hello everyone

This is actually my first post since October. I didn’t plan on leaving it this long however i have been very busy. I’v started several posts but never found the time to finish them, then they became a little outdated: However here i am finally finding the time to sit down and write.

So last Saturday me and my sister traveled from Norwich to London for a day out. The main pur

pose of the trip was to attend the Glamour beauty festival (more on that later). 

Before we went to the festive we went to the Elan cafe in Hans crescent Kensington. We both had been following it on instagram for a long time and always wanted to go there. It is so beautiful in there, i was a little worried about the food there as i’m quote fussy when it comes to food, however i had the most beautiful brunch bowl, it tasted really nice and the presentation was beautiful, with it i had a mango and passion fruit smoothie which was also presented in a beautiful manner. I would recommend this place if you want something fairly cheap but also fancy being a little extra!!

So back to the beauty festival: me and Josie a both beauty junkies, it’s what we bond over. So firstly it was really nice to go with her. The event started at 2:30 and was packed with plenty of the biggest names in hair and beauty, from Real Techniques to Nails inc. For the £49 that we paid for the tickets we got a facial from Elizabeth Arden, our make up done by Hudda Beauty and Real techniques and our hair done by schwarzkopf. Everybody there was so talented. I purchased some Real Techniques contour brushes and where given tips on how to create a good contour which i can’t wait to use.

Within the ticket price was a talk. The one that we chose to go was talk with Wendy Rowe. She was very passionate and inspiring, especially for me who is somebody like me who would love to work as a make up artist, she has inspired me to get the ball rolling in trying to make that happen. (which means hopefully i will post more on here about make up)

The final thing that was included in this day was a free goody bag, honestly when i found this out i though it would just be samples but honestly it was such a good bag The contents was worth £160, which alone made the day worth it. It contained products from Hudda Beauty, nails inc, real techniques, No7, batiste just to name a few (if you would like me to do a separate post showing you what i got please let me know).

If your into your beauty i would 100% recommend going next year it’s worth the price and you learn a few things and it’s just a fantastic treat.

I hope you enjoyed this post and if you would like to delve more into my life feel free to follow me on twitter and instagram.

Blog take 2!!

Hello Guys!

I have had this blog for almost 2 years and i have not been happy with for a while! I wasn’t happy with the content or imagery for a while. Because of this i found that i was taking long months away and not really doing anything with it, partly due to my mental health, also because i was feeling uninspired.

Because of this i felt like it was time for a fresh start, i decided to strip my blog back down to the bones by deleting all my old post, as i wasn’t happy with any of them.

There are a few things that i want to do differently this time around. The first thing i want to do is to be more organised. I purchased two notebooks in the hope that this will help. On the theme of being organised i want to take more time with working on my posts. The last time i definitely rushed my posts trying to fit some fake deadline that i set in my head.

I can’t guarantee that there won’t be times where i take long breaks, because i do suffer from anxiety and depression, i do hope that getting back into writing will help with it as it is my main passion so whether it be blogging or getting back into my fictional writing, it may help calm me, however sometimes i might need a little time away .

Honestly i feel so liberated starting again and i have excitement about doing this blog again: I also feel like now is the perfect time to do this as there are so many exciting things coming up. We have Halloween, four birthdays (mine included), Bonfire night (which is the same day as my birthday). We also have a Holiday, Christmas and finally new year. So it is a busy few months for me and my family which is really exciting and will provide some amazing things to write about!

I want to be keeping the content very similar to what it was before: fashion, beauty, lifestyle ect. However i will be putting my all into all of it and not rushing to get it out, just so i can love my content and  hope you guys will to! I can’t wait for you guys to read it!!

Thanks for reading and stay tuned
