When we think about parties and festivals I think we quite often just assume that it all takes place in the UK. We don’t always think about travelling to Europe for a couple of days to experience a festival or celebration in a new country. Thanks to cheap holidays abroad, these days there is so […]

I actually thought twice about writing this post – I mean, do I really need to tell people how great Wagamamas is, won’t I just be preaching to the choir?   But who knows, maybe there are some Wagamama newbies out there and this will inspire them to get down to this restaurant asap – […]

  I love to take weekends away to European cities, especially when I can make use of the bank holiday weekends! I’ve been to the south of Portugal and spent several sunny, beach holidays in the Algarve but I had never been to the capital.   Over Easter I got to spend 24 hours in […]

I just got back from an amazing two week trip to Myanmar/Burma. It was one of the most amazing countries I have ever been too and I feel really lucky that I got to experience it before mass tourism begins there; it was a real taste of authentic Asia.     I haven’t blogged for […]

  It never felt like it was going to get there but it’s now officially cold and that’s definitely got me feeling a bit Christmassy! Now, I would say I’m a summer girl, there’s nothing like a pair of flip flops and summer dress and feeling the warmth of the sun on your face. But […]

  I saw this quote recently by Coco Chanel:   ‘Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve.’   To me this sums up how vita skincare is, as putting in effort to look after your skin […]

  I’ve recently joined a hockey club close to where I live! It’s going well so far but I’m definitely not a star hockey player. I haven’t played since school and I always enjoyed it there, which is the most important thing, right? I do it with one of my good friends and so it […]

So I feel like this post is a little bit overdue as I’ve been back from Paris for a few weekends now.  Before I went away I did a little Paris Wish List blog post so I thought I would update you on what I got up to! In all honesty I didn’t manage to […]
