Holiday Travels – Thailand: Krabi & Koh Lanta

Having had an amazing time in Chiang Mai, it was time to start the penultimate leg of our trip, to Koh Lanta via Krabi (see my previous Thailand posts on Bangkok: Part I, Kao Yai National Park, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok: Part 2. After a relatively short flight to Krabi, we had a car pick us up […]

Holiday Travels – Thailand: Chiang Mai

Continuing my ramblings account of our trip to Thailand, after leaving Khao Yai National Park (see my post here, and here for the first part of our trip in Bangkok) we headed north to one of my favourite places we visited, and I think one of my favourite places ever – the city of Chiang Mai*. […]

Holiday Travels – Thailand: Khao Yai National Park

Next up on our Thailand travels (you can see my first post on Bangkok here) was Khao Yai National Park, which is the third largest national park in Thailand. It’s about 3 hours away from Bangkok, so on our second day in Thailand we drove to the park using its taxi service, which was more […]

Holiday Travels – Thailand: Bangkok (Part 1)

So despite getting back from Thailand three weeks ago, I’ve only just sat down to write this post – oh the shame! Obviously catching up with work and the lead-up to Christmas was a busy time, so I’ll let myself off 🙂 Anyway, Thailand was magnificent, incredible and just a joy to explore. We spent […]

Holiday Travels – Budapest

Last week I had the pleasure of going to Budapest on a joint stag and hen do of our friends (the ‘Sten Do’ as we lovingly nicknamed it) for five days. It was great fun and we did a variety of activities – not just the traditional drinking kind. As there was a large group […]

Foundation Review – YSL Touche Éclat Le Teint

I thought I would get back to writing about beauty products I’ve been using recently, starting with foundation because we all love a good base. The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Le Teint is a foundation I’ve had my eye on for a while, but I wanted to use up every last drop of my Estée […]

Holiday Travels – Dittisham, Devon, England

Having taken rather a long hiatus from blogging due to dreary marketing assignments, I finally have some spare time to write again, yippee! I thought I would kick off with my most recent holiday to Dittisham, a delightful village by the River Dart in South Devon. I used to come here with my family for […]

Holiday Travels – Lisbon, Portugal

A rather belated Part II of my Portugal holiday post, see here for Part I: Holiday Travels, Sintra. After a delightful few days in Sintra, we took our hire car back to Lisbon Airport and took an Uber into Lisbon. Sidenote: Ubers in Lisbon are super cheap, and the drivers are so friendly and love […]

Holiday Travels – Sintra, Portugal

I have taken rather a long hiatus from writing blog posts due to work and studying, so I thought it would be good to kick off with a good ol’ holiday blog post. Sit down and make a cup of tea, this is quite a long one! Three weeks ago we were in Sintra, which […]

‘Relatively Healthy’ Sweet Snack Recipe

I have been absolutely loving Ella Woodward’s Deliciously Ella recipe book, which is full of ideas for healthy eating and clean living. She shows that you can swap your normal ingredients and meals for healthier versions without too much hassle. Most of the ingredients are relatively easy to source and she has really helpful sections on […]

Fool-proof Makeup Brushes

I thought I would do a quick post on the makeup brushes that I use, as I have come to depend on them a lot and sometimes it can be difficult to tell the good from the bad, and even if you should use any at all. I should add that makeup brushes aren’t imperative […]

Holiday Travels – Berlin

At the beginning of December I took a lovely post-birthday, four-day trip to Berlin, and it was amazing. Such a fascinating and vibrant city, with so much to see and do, and particularly lovely before Christmas. Luke and I found a good flight + hotel deal on lastminute.com and stayed in the Park Inn by Radisson […]
