My Top 5 Places To Eat... (New Forest, UK)

Hey,

So I thought I would share with you all my top 5 local places to eat... To many of you this may not be of interest but it's always worth knowing just incase.

1: Prezzo (Romsey or Lyndhurst)
We all know that you can't go wrong with Prezzo... Personally for me I love the menu because I extremely enjoy seafood. When I go to a Prezzo Restaurant I usually have the 'King Prawn Risotto'.

2: 'The White Rabbit' in Lyndhurst
'The White Rabbit' in Lyndhurst is extremely underrated, every single time myself and my boyfriend pop in for some dinner the staff are incredibly friendly and simply can't do enough to help! They are also a small hotel so if you are thinking about visiting The New Forest I would recommend their beautifully refurbished rooms to anyone.



3: 'The Forage' in Lyndhurst
'The Forage' In Lyndhurst has only recently opened and it is really nice to have somewhere around that isn't your typical 'fast food' place. 'The Forage' specialise in healthy, local food which I must add is extremely tasty! Also the interior is to die for...



4: Rivaaz Restaurant in Lymington
You can't go wrong with an Indian Restaurant once in awhile, Rivaaz in Lymington provides very high quality Indian Cuisine, one of my favourite Indian Restaurants around!


5: Starskys Restaurant & Bar (Lyndhurst)
Starskys is an American themed Restaurant and you always know if you fancy a big burger and fries that you won't get higher quality food than in Starskys. Once again it is one of my 'Top 5 Places to Eat in The New Forest' because of the incredibly friendly staff that always make sure their customers are happy and that makes the experience so much better.




Please share with me in the comment your favourite places to eat locally or please recommend some places for others to try.

Until next time,

June Favourites!

Hey,

So, I have decided it is about time that I wrote another Monthly Favourites post! So here we go... 


My first favourite of this month would have to be the 'St.Tropez' fake tan. I have only recently started using fake tan because I felt as so I was to pale and let's be honest, everyone looks healthier with a glowing tan. I will post some progress photos on my Instagram to show you all the difference from before I started using it compared to now. Many people stay away from using Fake Tan because they think it is going to turn out orange and streaky which is what I love about these products because it is a brown tone instead of orange and it has never once gone streaky!



Step 1 (left bottle); Exfoliant 
Step 2 (middle): Lotion
Step 3 (right); Bronzing lotion

My next favourite of this month would have to be Garnier Pure Active Exfo-Brush - Before I started using this a while ago I found that I was having breakouts and that my skin was very oily, after using this product a few times a week my skin feels fresh and rejuvenated. 



Next is something that adds a bit of colour to my face! I have never been a 'blush' kinda girl, I always use contour but never usually blush so this product for me was a complete trial and I really like it.
It is a creme blush instead of a powder which was also a strange idea for me because I usually always use powder based products.

My next favourite of June is something a bit more on the pricey side but I feel it is definitely worth it. It is the 'Flash' fragrance by Jimmy Choo. Im not really sure how else to describe the scent of this perfume other than 'sophisticated'. This is the perfume that I will wear out for an evening, it isn't a 'everyday' perfume I feel.


These two products are probably some of my most used ones that I own. I have always been someone who loves eyemakeup and of course eyeliner plays a massive part in that! I have tried so many different jet black liquid eyeliners and this combination are definitely the best that I have found so far.

Now onto nail varnishes... Although I really love bright colours to wear on my nails I have really been loving these pastel summer colours by 'Barry M'.
These polishes last weeks and barely crack or chip and the colour range in the 'Gelly collection' are stunning.

And finally for this month' favourites I wanted to share with you all the white rustic pots that I bought from IKEA that are ideal to store makeup brushes in. They are metal and very sturdy, I am not entirely sure what they are called in store but they are definitely worth looking out for! 


Hope you all enjoyed this favourite' post and I will be blogging a lot more in the upcoming months!

Until next time,

Spring/Summer Homeware Inspiration

Hey,

I have decided to do something different for this blog post, for those of you who love Homeware then keep reading!


I may not have my own home to fill with my favourite homeware items although that doesn't stop me appreciating minimalistic homeware. Personally in the summer I like to have 'no clutter'. If I was to have my own home It would have a very 'clean' and 'empty' feeling to it, despite this I would have items to make it feel homely and comfortable. 

If you couldn't find anything within those links that you like, here are some images for inspiration...

Glossybox - March


Hey,

A new month means a brand new Glossybox to open...
Time to share with you all what was inside my Glossybox for the month of March.



First of all in my box I received the '-417' - 'Catharsis Vitamin Mineral Shampoo and Conditioner'
Retail Price: £16.89 each 
(Received travel size)
I have to admit when it comes to shampoo and conditioner I have never been 'adventurous' with my choices, I usually just use Tresemme but '-417' seems like a very good product, although I would not purchase the full size products as I feel they are extremely expensive, although I have only tried the travel size samples.


 Another product which I received was the 'Luxie' - 'Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush 504' 
Retail Price: £10.42
(Received full size)
 'Luxie' - Rose Gold Angled Brush


 One of my favourite products in this months box is the 'Hey Honey' - 'Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum' 
Retail Price: £28.81
(Received travel size)
'Hey Honey' Facial Serum
You can either apply this serum as a night cream or underneath your makeup before you apply it, within this serum is Honey and Propolis which both replenish and protects your skin.


I also got the 'Olay' - 'Luminous Skin Tone Perfecting Cream' 
Retail Price: £29.99
(Received travel size)
'Olay' - Luminous Cream



And the final product I recieved in my March Glossybox is the 'So Susan' - 'Light Diffuser' 
Retail Price: £14.00
(Received full size)
'So Susan' - Light Diffuser

This highlighter and bronzer duo is incredible! It is so pigmented and a lovely bronze colour. Perfect to contour and highlight with and just to add to its perfection, it also smells like cocoa!

Glossybox - February

Hey,
So I decided to sign up for the monthly beauty box subscription called 'Glossybox'. Many of you may be familiar with this subscription box, many 'Big Youtubers' and Beauty Bloggers review each months box when it arrives.

This post is not sponsored, I paid my own money for this subscription box.
If you would like to sign up for this box you can use my unique link - You're Welcome ;)


So, what did my Glossybox Include?

Floral Slanted Tweezers from 'The Vintage Cosmetic Company' 
Retail price: £8 
(Received full size product) 

HOW CUTE IS THIS FLORAL PATTERN!?



Power Pout Glaze Low Voltage Gloss by 'MUA' 
Retail price: £3.50 (
Received full size product)

This is such a gorgeous dark purple, pinky shade. This shade is called 'Allure'




Protective Hair Mask Volume Conditioner by 'Naobay' 
Retail Price: £10.64 
(Received 200ml 'Luxury Size' Product) 



Hydro Silk Razor by 'Wilkinson Sword'
Retail Price: £9.99 
(Received full size product)


24h Waterproof Eyeliner by 'Nicka'
Retail Price: £3.99 
(Received full size Product) 



*left Swatch unblended, right is blended*

I am going to be totally honest with you all and I paid £13.25 for this box (this price is included £3 postage, I think) I can honestly say I didn't think I would keep my subscription for this box, I thought it would be filled with branded items which simply aren't selling at the moment but I was so wrong! I am definitely keeping my subscription for this box because when you consider the amount of money you would pay for each of these products if you were to buy them separately it would be a lot more than the monthly cost for this subscription! I highly recommend Glossybox and don't forget you can sign up using my unique link Glossybox Invited by Stormydoos

Until next time,
