I'm back!

I have finally got round to blogging again. 

Over the past few months I have completed an apprenticeship in live events and promotion and gotten a part time job as an events and fundraising assistant therefore giving me more time to get back into blogging. Since my last blog post I have also got into fitness again, going to the gym and weekly Pilates classes so you can expect to see more fitness inspired posts in the future.

Also whilst I have been away from my blog I have been visiting some lovely places inside and outside of the UK like New York, Amsterdam, Lanzarote and Oxford. 

Here’s a few pictures from my travels...

Christmas markets in Berlin (Better late than never)

At the end of December myself and my boyfriend took a trip to Berlin. We had heard so many amazing things about the christmas markets out there that we decided we had to experience them for ourselves (which you must do at some point).

We only stayed for 2 nights so we made the most of our trip and went to as many markets as possible. We stayed in the Park Inn by Raddison hotel which was in such a central location which meant we could walk to almost everyone we had intended to go. 

There were so many Christmas markets around Berlin which was so lovely to see so soon after christmas. 

We also had 2 lovely meals in Berlin which were at a restaurant called Mio and a restaurant called Heat, both of which I highly recommend if you're going to the Alenxandraplatz area of Berlin. Throughout the trip we tried lots of different German foods, some of which I loved and others not so much but it's all part of the fun of visiting different countries.

As soon as we arrived at the hotel we couldn't help but notice the very tall television tower so we made a point of going up it on the evening of our two year anniversary where we experienced some of the most fantastic views.

Overall it was a fantastic trip and I recommend visiting German over the christmas period to everyone - 100% worth the cold weather!

Born Pretty Store review

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be approached by a lovely lady from bornprettystore.com asking if I wanted to review some of their products, I hadn't heard of the website before but I had a look around on their website and there was so much to choose from and the prices where so reasonable so I thought 'why not?'.

The products I received were the flat contour brush which was the perfect size and really good quality for the price. The price for this brush was only £4.61 which is a great price considering the price for makeup brushes these days.

The other two products which I decided to review were the matte velvet long lasting waterproof gloss. The colours of these were gorgeous but they definitely weren't waterproof. When you first apply them they look lovely but after an hour they start to rub off. The colours I tried were shade 18 (image 1) and shade 22 (image 2).

 

I was lucky enough to be given a 10% off voucher for anyone thats interested in buying products from bornprettystore.com with promo code LAJH10  .
