Eating out

Personally there's two things i enjoy more then most things in life, getting dressed up and food!! Eating out in different restaurants is something me and my other half enjoy most. Sharing similar  interests in foods, i have recently decided I'd like to try different foods. 

In all honestly 3 years ago from now, i had hardly ever experience trying new foods not even an Indian, which i have to admit i absolutely love now. Possibly one of my favourite meals, i have to admit i usually stick with the boring chicken korma, the mildest dish but I'm getting there, certainly need to widen my horizons on that front.

Last night we visited a new Indian restaurant just outside of Sheering, called the Cafe Masala. i was rather optimist at the beginning we usually have a local restaurant we tend to visit monthly. But i can say now I'm extremely pleased we chose something different.

The restaurant was designed in a perfect modern design, the worse thing i find is a cold restaurant, it was cosy and warm, although its a small restaurant we had our own space and wasn't constantly hassled by waiters and the service was exceptional. ideal for a quiet meal with your partner, a good catch up with girlfriends or even a nice family meal.

Ever heard a women say "i have nothing to wear" but we have a whole wardrobe full of clothes, why does dresses seem so boring and old after you wear them once?

So yes as most women can relate to this, i went out on my lunch break from work and purchased myself a lovely little black dress from New Look (my opinion the best clothes shop in the world) at an astonishing price of £14.99 i didn't feel half as guilty about buying it at such a great price.

And for all of you wondering how i got such a lovely tan at this time of year, years ago i discovered an amazing cheap tanning mouse. 

St Moriz from savers at an amazing price of just £2.99, when tanning keeping up with ex-foliating and moisturising is essential, this tan at this incredible price can last up to 4 days.

keep posted guys for more of my recommended restaurants, stunning fashion at an affordable price and fabulous tanning products for less then a fiver!!

An afternoon trip to Van Hages

    Why is there never anything to do in this town?
Especially on a Sunday afternoon, apart from watching films, eating too much chocolate and drinking far too much sugary tea.

So I decided to drag Luke out of the house and down to Van Hages for an hour or so, definitely more my kind of thing then his.
As an animal lover I have to admit my my favourite part of Van Hages is the pets corner, apart from the fear of being chased by a chicken it is rather a nice place to look around.
Here are some pictures i captured this afternoon of some of the animals they have there.






This marmoset monkey is possibly the weirdest little thing I have seen and didn't seem to please about being cooped up in a small enclosure, poor little thing.

There is actually one main reason I do like to visit Van hages and that's because of this little guy, once finishing school i decided to go college and do animal care, during that time i did various work experiences in different work places, one place i worked I helped out on some special deliveries, the gruesome kind of deliveries, one of them being Louie (i named him) :) weather he still has the same name I'm not sure, a pygmy goat without a doubt is one of the cutest baby animals i have ever seen. When him and his sister Martha were young they were fascinating to watch they played like two little child always doing there cute little bunny hops around the paddocks and they we're strangely very cuddly for a farm animal, not so much now. But i always look out for him, his got massive since the last time i saw him.

What's in my make-up box?

So many make-up bags are stunning and to be honest I could literally buy them all, but just like large handbags they can be a huge nuisance when it comes to finding things. So at the end of last year I decided to purchase a small plastic box instead and store my make-up that way.

Its perfect, I can see all my make-up and its kept clean and tidy.

Some of the make-up you will find in my handy make-up box...

I love eye make-up, but I do try and give myself a break from it some days. I have 4 different favourite eye Liners and pencils, I enjoy having a choice in the morning of which one to wear.

1. Top Left- Rimmel exaggerate eye-liner, I've used this eye-liner for years, its fantastic for a night out or just going for dinner, although with most eye-liners it does require a steady hand.
2. Top Right- Maybelline New York gel eye-liner, this is my newest eye-liner, a gift for Christmas ! was weary of it at first being so used to the rimmel exaggerate eye-liner. But this eye-liner beats the Rimmel, long lasting and so easy to apply with the a little brush that comes with it. Highly recommended to all you eye-liner lovers.

The bottom 2 pencils, the top one being Maybelline the new Master Kajal Kohl liner, this is brilliant as it has multiple uses and can be applied around the whole eye, extremely easy to use and long lasting all day. The bottom is the popular Soft Kohl eye pencil, lot more gentler on the eye and again extremely easy to apply.

This is where I have to mention my clumsiness, I cannot buy expensive blushers because you can guarantee after one day it will be in small pieces.

So I recently discovered the natural collection in boots at an incredible price of just £1.99 each, my bronzer and cheek blusher is perfect for my accident prone ways. although I do try my best not to drop them. I used to buy the Rimmel bronzer at £5.99, this natural collection is just the same quality. For such a low price and great quality it is, for me it doesn't get the acknowledgement that it deserves. They do huge selection of make-up, from nail varnishes to lipsticks, to eye liners. Its also excellent for people with sensitive skin and eyes!

These are just some of my favourite things in my Make-up box, keep posted for more of my much loved make-up such as my most recommended eye-shadows, mascaras, foundations and lipsticks :)

Penny Vicenzi Books

I'm old fashioned when it comes to most things in life, forget e-books. Buy yourself an elegant looking bookcase and stick to the old fashion ways of life, I don't only buy things to enjoy, I buy things to admire.

It started almost a year ago now, browsing round Tesco's on a Sunday afternoon with my Boyfriend Luke, i hadn't read or enjoyed books for years and decided to purchase myself a book. One book caught my eye from the rest, Penny Vicenzi - The Decision.

Some of Penny Vicenzi books are big books and some are not so big, the decision book is the biggest of them all, as Luke would describe "it looks like a thesaurus."
From this day on I have not put Penny
Vicenzi books down, i have been completely hooked by the drama, romance and business knowledge of these books. No book is the same, i now currently own all of Penny Vicenzi books and am excited to share she is releasing a brand new book on July 31st 2014 which I have pre-ordered, so expect my own personal review.

Penny Vicenzi- The Decision

As most readers I found myself completely admiring and envying Eliza life, starting her new career in the Fashion industry, falling in love in the most hardest ways possible. Almost living her life with her, through marriage and experiencing motherhood, then the cruel reality of how things can crumble so quickly and having pick up the shattered pieces off the floor and fighting for the unconditional love of her daughter.

I will be sharing most of my views on Penny Vicenzi books over my blog, so visit weekly for all my new posts. Enjoy :)
