VENICE

After a relatively whack night’s sleep in our cheap Slovenian hostel (which involved being locked out of our shared bathroom and having to go for a wazz in the shower cubicle), we arose at 6am and made our way to the train station to make our way to Venice! So far, we’d hit Croatia, Budapest, Vienna and Ljubljana, and now it was time to revisit my favourite city in the whole entire world; Venice…

COVERAGE VS SERUM | THE ORDINARY FOUNDATION REVIEW

I’m never late in real life. I turn up to work half an hour early so I can take Instagram stories of me pulling faces at the hideous prospect of working. I’m always early at a restaurant so I can check the menu and decide what I’m having before my mates turn up and distract me from my one true love (food). But for some reason, I’m always about a year late to the makeup hype. Deciem’s The Ordinary brand popped up on our Instagram feeds and had everyone noticing, gasping, and practically weeping with joy and excitement. But for some reason it’s taken me until now to bring their Serum Foundation and their Coverage Foundation home to mumma…

MY RESPONSE TO A SHITTY BLOGGING TWEET

A few months ago I saw a tweet by a blogger that I follow that really wound me up. I’ve been wanting to write a response to it for ages, but I didn’t know if it would be too obvious, and I certainly didn’t want to @ her publicly. But it was a really shitty tweet, and one that I’ve not been able to completely forget. So, I wanted to respond and give my 2 cents on the matter (or my 10 quid, because I’m having a vent after about 6 months of being pissed off with it).

The tweeter in question is a really lovely girl who lives in the North of England and she writes really great beauty and lifestyle content. I’ve been following her on Insta and Twitter for a good few years now, and while I wouldn’t say we were ‘blogger friends’, but I'm sure that we know of each other and I often comment and like her posts on her various social platforms. I love catching up on her blog, so even though I'm writing this post, it's not an attack. It's just an example of something I see in the blogging community a LOT, and I wanted to give my honest response... 

VIENNA + LJUBLJANA

It’s time to tell you all about Part 3 of our Interrailing adventure, which takes place in Vienna and ThatPlaceIStillCan’tPronounce! So far, we’ve had a week on a yacht in Croatia (blog post here / vlog here) and three days in beautiful Budapest (blog post here / vlog here). Now it’s time to take on the land of Weiner Lager - no joke - and climb a million miles up a bloody mountain to a castle on Chris’s birthday…

PEGGY PORSCHEN REVIEW

If I haven’t already bored you to tears with my last few Instagram pictures, then I’d like to bombard you (again) with more baby-pink than could ever be necessary, and review my trip to Peggy Porschen Cakes. 

After visiting, and falling in love with, Saint Aymes in Marble Arch (blog post here), I decided that I’d like to start conquering all the Instagrammable places around London. It’s a hub for OTT restaurants and extra shop-fronts, so I’m making it my mission.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll probably have seen or heard of Peggy Porschen. It’s a bakery/cafe near Victoria Train Station, with a pastel pink exterior and a huge floral arch over the door.
