Budapest in January | Winter Travel Guide

Budapest in Winter | Things to Do

Late last year, I decided to book my boyfriend a weekend away for Christmas (good way to get out of having to wrap a present FYI). I wanted somewhere cheap, cheerful and where there was a chance of a bit of winter snow. After a mooch online and a friends’ recommendations, I ended up booking a weekend in Budapest in January. I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect – or even where it was to be honest – but I am here to report that I had a great time. So, if you’re thinking about heading to Budapest during the winter, DO IT. And maybe this post will help… View Full Post

Fighting the Post-Christmas Blues

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAJanuary: we’re skint, we’re bored and we’re having withdrawals from not eating eight Ferrero Roche for breakfast anymore. It’s easy to end up feeling a bit miserable once the Chrizzy decorations have come down and we’re thrust back into plain old winter, but the January blues don’t have to engulf us completely. How, you ask? Well, this is how…

So, real talk – when it comes to working out in the gym, I’m a pro at thinking of excuses not to go. From being too tired to not having the right hair bobble with me (I hope I’m not alone in that one. My hair just gets too HEAVY), it’s far too easy to let things stop us from getting active. And something us vajayjay-owners probably use too often to get out of exercising and pushing ourselves? Periods.

December Makeup Buys | NARS, NYX & More

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Okay, so I know December is supposed to be the month of giving, but I was hit with one of those months where ALL of my makeup ran out at once. All of it. Every last bit (well apart from my Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade because that stuff will outlive the cockroaches). So I therefore had to go and treat myself to a few bits, employing the “one for you, one for me” method of Christmas shopping. Hugely successful.  View Full Post

Wireless Headphones | Leather Gloves* | Fitbit | 8-in-1 Screwdriver | Ted Baker Wallet | Whiskey Gift Set | Slippers

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to my Christmas shopping, my dad is actually the hardest person to buy for. This is because when you ask him what he would like, he usually responds with something ridiculous like “a map” or “a new Thermos”, or the ultimate annoying dad answer: “Don’t worry about me, I don’t need anything.” UGGGHHH, DAD. Please tell me I’m not alone in this? View Full Post

The Bloggers’ Office Wishlist

blogger-office

If you’re a blogger, or know someone who is, then you’ll  know that we’re sensitive souls  – and this means that when it comes to our blogging space, we need everything to be just perfect. For example, it’s a universal truth that we can’t physically sit down to blog without a smoothie in a mason jar by our side, or the aroma of a Diptyque candle wafting into our nostrils. And I’ve personally been known to faint if I go longer than five minutes without seeing something copper or marble. It’s just the way we are – we are artistes.  View Full Post
