Trip to London

Last weekend I enjoyed a great day out in London with my Boyfriend, Matt. When we left in the morning it was freezing - the first day that really felt like Autumn.

We started of the day by going for some breakfast in a really unusual and unique breakfast cafe called The Cereal Killer Cafe. It was absolutely amazing, they have over 120 different cereals to choose from and over 30 different milks to choose from. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes cereal (unlike myself but my boyfriend loved it). Even if you don't like/want cereal there are other things to choose from like pop tarts and toast.

This trip was all part of my birthday present from Matt, He gave me a red letter day experience to have a make up lesson at my favourite makeup brand, Benefit, which was such a great experience and even better I had a voucher to spend in there after which I used to buy Porefessionals which I have loved for ages but sadly ran out of, and the amazing high beam highlighter. The makeup artist was lovely, she made me feel so comfortable and made sure I was happy with the makeup checking to see if  I had any preferences on colours etc.

After I had finished in benefit we had quite a lot of time to kill before going to the restaurant where we had already pre-booked a table, so we done some shopping and a bit of exploring. Of course I had to go to the new Lush store down Oxford Street and ended up spending a bit more than I intended... oopsy.

In the evening we went to the most amazing Italian ever, called Arcadia. Both myself and Matt had the bolognese which was probably the nicest bolognese I have ever had! For starter we also shared some olives and bread which were also lovely. Sadly we didn't take any pictures in here but the restaurant itself was so nice and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Adventure to London

Last weekend I took a nice little adventure to London with my boyfriend. I have really been looking forward to it as its been arranged since June, but it finally came around and it was such a lovely weekend to end the year.
  To start with we made our way to our hotel (The dockland Crowne Plaza) to drop our bags off where we were upgraded and given a room overlooking the river, the view was lovely. In the afternoon it was finally time for my late birthday present to see Disney on Ice which was such a well put together show and had all the well known Disney songs in it to sing a long to. Once we came out we had a bite to eat at TGI Fridays and made our way back to the hotel on the Emirates Sky Line, We decided to get it at night on the way back from the O2 instead of in the day on the way there because we thought the view over London at night all lit up would be an amazing, and it really was, It was a bit scary but the view was just amazing.
  On the following day it was time for one of my christmas presents, to go up the shard, It was so exciting being so high in the sky and being able to see for miles and miles, it was something I would recommend to anyone, just try and go up on a clear day which luckily it was for us so we could see everything so clearly and see the fantastic view of London. In the afternoon we headed over to Winter Wonderland which I didn't think was as good as it has been previous years but we went into the Magical Ice Kingdom which was another christmas present and that was really good, some of the sculptures made out of ice were pretty amazing. By this time we were freezing so we decided to go to Gourmet Burger Kitchen for something to eat which was very yummy and headed back to the hotel (again on the sky line) to pick our bags up and head home.
  Overall the weekend was great, we made lots of amazing memories and tried lots of new experiences which I would definitely do again.
