Reflecting on 2017 – The highlights of the year.
Well this year has been an absolute rollercoaster ride, extreme highs with a fair few lows and challenges which have made me realise how short and precious life really is along with the fact that you never truly know what other people are going through, so always be kind (which goes without saying). But this blog post is to focus on the good times of the year… 2017. WOW. You took me to a different country atleast every month (sometimes twice), making it the most places in one year I have managed to visit and tick off the bucket list. A big BIG thank you to Laura Bartlett and #TeamCoco…

The Hydradermie Youth Facial: The Wishing Well Health & Beauty Spa
As I embark on the final year of my twenties (how did this happen) I have recently taken my skin care regime up a gear, that means no using baby wipes to remove my makeup EVER, even when I can’t be bothered and keeping up with regular facial treatments. My mission…to keep hold of my youthful skin for as long as physically possible, because prevention is better than the cure!! I love a good facial and was particularly in need of a deep cleansing treatment as I tend to suffer with deep pores especially around my nose area. When the lovely ladies at the Wishing Well Beauty invited me to…

Goodbye dry January – hello FIT FEBRUARY!
We binge and let our hair down over the festive period, over indulging left right and centre (and so we should) but then expect to click our fingers after New Years eve and suddenly loose a stone and be healthy-yogi-organic-vegan fitness fanatics. Well I bet 50% of people have fallen off the band wagon already? So lets try again. Who is joining me for FIT FEBRUARY!?? Because January was just a warm up! Yes I am a little late to the “new year, new me” party, but for me the 1st of January was never gonna happen. Not only was I still in New York mode but I was a…

Hollywood Colour Blend #HairMakeover
“The HOLLYWOOD Colour Blend” it sounds very appealing doesn’t it!? I have known about this new innovative colour technique through Chinese whispers and recommendations for a while now! The creator Catherine Boden has become somewhat of a social media sensation. But I must be completely honest, I did wonder why people would spend so much money and so much time in a salon to simply get a colour, is it really worth it? I recently updated my all dark locks with a few subtle lighter blonde bits through the bottom which I have enjoyed for a change. I had come to the acceptance my hair is dry and brittle and…

The Fire & Ice Facial Review; Serenity Aesthetics – Hollywood fave
Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising, drinking litres of water and wearing SPF 50 on a daily (rain or shine) are the main factors of my skin care routine. I believe in investing into good products and also allowing your face to have some breathing time, where acceptable of course! But with the winter gloom upon us and FREEZING weather creeping in, it’s a recipe for flawless disaster! The dry air steals the skin’s moisture resulting in a dull surface – I want my summer glow all year round thank you very much! When I heard that Serenity Aesthetics were offering the Hollywood favourite “Fire & Ice Facial” my appointment was booked, pronto.…

Vice & Virtue preview evening; Leeds Food & Cocktails.
I was very pleased to be invited to the V & V preview evening before it opens to the public this Saturday….anything that involves food (and cocktails) is a winner for me especially when I heard it was 5 courses!! Greeted on arrival with a passion fruit bellini = perfect start to the evening! Now I won’t bore you by going over every single plate, because the pictures speak for themselves and it’s making me hungry! (See below) But the food is fit for a Michelin star and my only complaint is that I could have eaten 10 courses – which when they open this weekend will be available on…

Positive Thinking: Change your thoughts change your life.
Change your thoughts….change your life “Oh you’re so lucky…you always land on your feet” is just one of many references that seem to be used when somebody is doing well. Is there such thing as luck? Do you make your own luck (I think you do)…. Or is it just different types of people that are either saying YES to life seeing everything around them as an opportunity and others who prefer to sit back in the slow lane and stay in their comfort zone where there is no magic happening? In my opinion If you sit back, moan and talk about others and are always negative then life isn’t…

My Skincare: Chemical peel before and after.
Thinking about getting a chemical peel but not sure what to expect?!! Have you felt like your skin is tired and dull and lost its sparkle? Well that is exactly how I had been feeling lately! Let me share my first experience – The Dermaceutic Cosmo chemical peel from Serenity Aesthetics. Now I am not claiming to have bad skin, infact I have good skin but just recently (maybe after hitting the 28 mark) I have noticed a slight few wrinkles & also dullness as a whole. After chatting to the nurses at Serenity I decided that a skin peel was something I wanted to try, I have never had botox…

Maldives;BucketList,My photo diary.
So I know this post is a bit late, I had all intentions of getting it done as soon as I returned but here I am 2 months later (ooops). Anyway I didn’t want to rush this post and I have been waiting for the right moment to sit back and reflect on what can only be described as the ULTIMATE dream holiday…before I begin just a pre-warning its a LONG one, I just took way too many pictures but you can’t blame me right!? Let me rewind…April…(if only I could really rewind that would be ideal). We started off our 2 week adventure in India (see the last blog…
