Christmas in Berlin | Travel diary

As Christmas winds down for another year and everyone is preparing to take the Christmas tree and decorations down, I thought I would write about my recent trip to Berlin. It's never too early to start thinking about where you might travel to next year, so here's a post that might persuade you to hop on a plane and feel just about as festive as is humanly possible at Berlin's Christmas markets.

Monthly favourites | October

Another year, another bunch of favourites I don't know how I've gotten by without before. As soon as we hit October, I took all the tinted, light-coverage moisturisers out of my make up bag and stored them away safely for next summer. In place of them, I added my trusty Nars Sheer Glow foundation and heavy-duty concealers.

My favourite thing about autumnal make up is the darker, more vampy products that come out to play. Darker lipstick, deeper scents and smokier eyes are all components of my favourite looks and I love peering at what's new in store each year.

Amsterdam | Travel diary

Amsterdam was one of those places that had been on my wanderlust list for quite some time, mainly because I have never heard anyone say a bad word about it! Therefore, it was safe to say that when I felt it was time for a little city break, I couldn't wait to book an Airbnb, pack a carry on backpack and get to Gatwick airport.

Meatopia 2016

Meatopia is a weekend-long event that showcases chefs, meat, drink, music and a whole lot of fire. It is held in the Tobacco Dock in East London, a warehouse I have visited several times before in order to try out the latest food, drink and treats that are on offer around London. When I stumbled across Meatopia, I quickly purchased tickets (just before they had sold out), put the date in my diary and waited patiently for September to roll around.

Croatia | Travel Diary

Many of us are creatures of habit. We have a favourite mug, local restaurant, or Sheldon-esque spot on the sofa. We feel more settled when we’re walking on familiar ground. But sometimes you need to throw your hands up to your inhibitions and adventure.
