I’m not sure how I found out about it, which annoys me but I’m really happy I found out about it. Residing in Dollar, Clackmannanshire, The Japanese Garden has a really simple history behind it, in the 20th century inspired by a recent trip she had taken, Scottish adventurer Ella Christie decided to build a Japanese Garden. She enlisted the help of a female design, Taki Handa, and the result was a seven-acre site on the grounds of Cowden Castle. As a result, the garden is the first and only garden of its size to be designed by a woman. You can find out so much about the history and more recent happenings of the garden by visiting the website. </span></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div>There are several parts to The Japanese Garden, the garden itself, The Christie Walk, The Woodland Walk and The Lime Tree Avenue Walk. We visited The Woodland Walk and The Christie Walk (I think), I can recall seeing The Lime Tree Walk. The Woodland Walk is lovely and we visited this after we had some tea and scones at the tea room, so you’ll see those photos last. Lastly, I’ll say they do a range of different events at the venue even if you’re not interested in The Japanese Garden itself, I saw a flyer for a Japanese BBQ and their website states they run a primal bushcraft survival skills course. Both events sound great if you’re near the area and fancy something different. </div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpm4bMkApXnPMXQlKS9_XcZ-7S89KAUqtKNXplPHJUuNOWyo9WP7tfl7RerdmvayvfGpeCkcqOjlSJgz1dWG7pG-igQ1M8y6uyVySg-J5ra0CkQjHxc2AlHbXHkK-IyisCPo5nPrg95yOW/s2048/IMG_20210606_133555.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

it’s been 5 years since my last ‘5<a href="https://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2015/10/5-recipes-ive-tried-and-loved_7.html" target="_blank"> recipes I’ve tried and loved</a>’ post. I really
thought this had been posted in the last 3 years! It was fun to look back at
that post because I was able to see if I still used any of those recipes, the
short answer is no. But really, it’s ‘kind of’. I hadn’t made the <a href="https://www.laurenslatest.com/roasted-red-pepper-goat-cheese-alfredo/" target="_blank">Roasted Red
Pepper & Goats Cheese Alfredo</a> in years, but at some point, in 2020 I did
make it after years of not doing so. I’m not sure why I stopped making
(probably due to my laziness of peeling the red peppers) but when I made it
this time around I didn’t *love* it. Maybe I was just out of the practice of
making it so didn’t adjust things according to my taste but it didn’t blow me
away. I’m willing to give it another go this year though.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other recipe that I’ve made now and then is the <a href="https://www.thelittleepicurean.com/2014/06/ricotta-meatball-sandwich.html" target="_blank">RicottaMeatball Sandwich</a>, but again just the meatballs, I never bother putting it in a
sandwich! I did make it recently because I was typing up this blog post and fancied them. They are truly delicious and NOT DRY, something I think a lot of meatballs suffer from. The recipe also makes so many that there's some for the fridge and the freezer, this will definitely be showing up again for my meals in 2021. As for the other recipes
Mexican Beef Fajita Salad, <a href="https://www.inspiredtaste.net/20529/turkey-meatballs-recipe-with-light-tomato-sauce/" target="_blank">Turkey Meatballs with a Tomato Sauce</a> and <a href="https://natashaskitchen.com/chicken-broccoli-and-mushroom-stir-fry/" target="_blank">Chicken,Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry</a>, I all but forgot they existed. Well maybe not
the Turkey Meatballs, I just know my boyfriend isn’t a huge fan of turkey so I
don’t lean towards wanting to make it but I will try and add it into our meals
at least once this year. As for the other two recipes they have fallen off my
radar completely and I have to say – I don’t mind that. I have plenty of other
yummy recipes that I use now and I am sharing details of them below! <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGoD47kDWc5l2c347XDSAxXLKj6hfFuXWi_0rJApf79B-O0GdDlnAHeJ2PeYAZ8IUtQbS3pEvkfxkYCdMtqFwjYy8f9dC2OIo7e3fOl9V2ewhTIzJju1eWfHhxuwaXhZxuOXrbR_TTaHH/s2048/IMG_20181216_164154_1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGoD47kDWc5l2c347XDSAxXLKj6hfFuXWi_0rJApf79B-O0GdDlnAHeJ2PeYAZ8IUtQbS3pEvkfxkYCdMtqFwjYy8f9dC2OIo7e3fOl9V2ewhTIzJju1eWfHhxuwaXhZxuOXrbR_TTaHH/w480-h640/IMG_20181216_164154_1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.goodto.com/recipes/gordon-ramsay-s-butter-chicken" target="_blank">Gordon Ramsay’s butter chicken</a><br />I love this recipe; I don’t know how authentic it is but it
tastes lovely! My only gripe with the recipe is the call for 275ml of tomato
puree, to me, this is weird because tomato puree is weight in grams, but the
measurement is easy enough to do. However, what is insane is that it calls for
nearly a whole tube of tomato puree which I find insane lol. I’ve only ever
used the required amount once and that was in 2020 just to see what it tastes
like, all other times I’ve just added it into my liking. This recipe is
gorgeous though, the addition of the butter (obvs) and the cream makes it
really silky and the spices are just perfect for this. I often end up using a
bit more cream because I like it creamier but other than that (and the tomato
puree bits) I follow the recipe exactly. I also can now have regular cream, so
no longer have to use an alternative. This recipe is one that does require some
prep time as you need to marinate the chicken twice essentially, then grill the
chicken and then make the sauce. I typically do the marinating the day before
and then I can just whip out the chicken the next day and put it into the grill
whilst I work on the sauce. I’ve been making this recipe for years, my brother
loved it when I lived at home, I made it frequently when I lived by myself and
now living with my boyfriend, I still make it loads because he loves it. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-u_bDF0EvtuQ3vYIAssgr_HFcKuh1YxWbzL10pFrENut5dvyz1mTV0FPlnot_K-Ff79mGZB27FnDtRWxWXkdArYPv06Gr4-wz4WWcriEnbDWWuD2Ati0KJbdrVZQRTLrKTdCY5b6CRuJd/s908/Italian+Sausage+Rigatoni+with+Spicy+Cream+Sauce.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="908" data-original-width="575" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-u_bDF0EvtuQ3vYIAssgr_HFcKuh1YxWbzL10pFrENut5dvyz1mTV0FPlnot_K-Ff79mGZB27FnDtRWxWXkdArYPv06Gr4-wz4WWcriEnbDWWuD2Ati0KJbdrVZQRTLrKTdCY5b6CRuJd/w406-h640/Italian+Sausage+Rigatoni+with+Spicy+Cream+Sauce.jpg" width="406" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://spicysouthernkitchen.com/italian-sausage-rigatoni-with-spicy-cream-sauce/">Image credit</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://spicysouthernkitchen.com/italian-sausage-rigatoni-with-spicy-cream-sauce/" target="_blank">Italian Sausage Rigatoni with Spicy Cream Sauce</a></div><div>I LOVE this recipe, I’ve made similar sauces myself when I’ve just been using up leftovers, but I still think this is a fantastic recipe. The measurements are so on point so you get the tasty spicy creamy tomato sauce. And as you should because this is a recipe that calls for tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and passata (at least I assume this is what the tomato sauce refers to and not tomato ketchup lol). It’s a lot of tomatoes but there’s also a lot of pasta and sausage used in the recipe so it’s all perfectly balanced in the end. I love the balance of the spicy and creamy. I typically use any sausages for these, so my version is never really the true Italian Sausage recipe. I just use Lincolnshire or whatever sausages Lidl has in store. Maybe one day I’ll go to a butcher and use real Italian sausage. Maybe it’s just me but I find Italian sausage isn’t as readily available in supermarkets in the UK as they are in the US. I know Heck does Italian chicken sausages but pork ones are a bit of a mystery. I know Morrisons used to have some but they took away some flavours a while back. This is a recipe I’ve discovered in the past two years or so, but have made it a handful of times. </div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXQFbHLgf6hUatKBwc7EaryjcNJ7pjCfIZ2HTxfHZRV_SeQ6QW5Qhd9U8lAHu4GX4FcfcUP-BP50Vunb4aXF_jvBdaGOgHDq_EDvtHWD1qwgoCENlxtcWY1bfd2PBFCIUPS89LkVNk7eK/s1152/Spicy+Buttermilk+Fried+Chicken+Sandwich.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="768" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXQFbHLgf6hUatKBwc7EaryjcNJ7pjCfIZ2HTxfHZRV_SeQ6QW5Qhd9U8lAHu4GX4FcfcUP-BP50Vunb4aXF_jvBdaGOgHDq_EDvtHWD1qwgoCENlxtcWY1bfd2PBFCIUPS89LkVNk7eK/w426-h640/Spicy+Buttermilk+Fried+Chicken+Sandwich.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://butteryourbiscuit.com/spicy-buttermilk-fried-chicken-sandwich/" target="_blank">Image credit</a></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://butteryourbiscuit.com/spicy-buttermilk-fried-chicken-sandwich/" target="_blank">Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich</a></div><div>Yummm burgers! I absolutely love the pictures used in this recipe; it manages to make me want to make this recipe all the time! I only really used the chicken recipe, I don’t like sriracha so don’t make the sauce. I also don’t really like bacon so don’t add that in my burger, however, you can make this your own by adding your own condiments to make the burger to your taste. I love the batter for this recipe and I adore anything that uses buttermilk, it makes the chicken so tender and really amps up the taste. The recipe uses smoked paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper along with corn starch to make a tasty and crunchy batter. I honestly cannot fault it. Sometimes I mix some self-rising flour in the mix to amp up the crunch factor on the batter but honestly, the recipe is perfect as is. It’s a great way to have homemade chicken burgers and once you get confident with the recipe you can adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding in other bits or taking something out. I discovered this recipe about 3 years ago and I made this occasionally when I still lived at home and me and my brother couldn’t get enough of it, now it’s my boyfriend who requests this! </div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGiziDjAdYeMybCTf3F9xBscnrMzpWksXcnfRcEeKjZa1lk_VBUCQBPeG0xTaF9RHszmJu5rAWqkQYqwyGDuyziM0nX_GksNebW_bpS4UOpW76rLfYRGiJ-cA2R6kkSZYgD-ct7_9jNIW/s1080/Honey+Garlic+Chicken.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGiziDjAdYeMybCTf3F9xBscnrMzpWksXcnfRcEeKjZa1lk_VBUCQBPeG0xTaF9RHszmJu5rAWqkQYqwyGDuyziM0nX_GksNebW_bpS4UOpW76rLfYRGiJ-cA2R6kkSZYgD-ct7_9jNIW/w426-h640/Honey+Garlic+Chicken.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/honey-garlic-chicken/">Image credit</a></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/honey-garlic-chicken/" target="_blank">Honey Garlic Chicken</a></div><div>I adore recipes that use chicken thighs, they are juicy and flavoursome and I am here for them! I like this recipe for a mid-week meal, it’s relatively quick to whip up and can be paired with rice and veggies. I adore garlic and whilst I’m not overly keen on sweet sauces in savoury dishes this does work well, HOWEVER, only if I reduce the amount of honey called for in this recipe. I just find 110g of honey way too much for me. However, reduced to something like 60g and it’s delicious. I reduced the amount the first time I made this purely because I didn’t have 110g left of honey left, the next time I made this I used what was called for and well, we ate it but it was very sweet. My only complaint with this recipe is I find it takes more than the 20mins time stated and that I don’t find that the corn starch amount is correct. I need to use more corn starch, and I guess because I’m anxious about cooking the chicken through, overall, it ends up taking me close to 30-40mins. Aside from that really happy with the flavours in this and so nice to have leftovers to eat during the week. I discovered this recipe in 2020, so it’s a fairly new one but one that is firmly rooted in our staple meals.</div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_T3-iGUTSCtQM9hfvHc-keScgY1z6dZGpRXkjpRxg96EzRuUvvi-oKAuBDN9EuK0RQ8f0NPvVZEpkJuBiX7-Oq3k33dDdZVI52OhcRK4uZnLvoXuuLhoqYfazPLinFXzUQb5MWHIU_9hp/s500/Tomato%252C+Onion+%2526+Goat+Cheese+Tarts.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_T3-iGUTSCtQM9hfvHc-keScgY1z6dZGpRXkjpRxg96EzRuUvvi-oKAuBDN9EuK0RQ8f0NPvVZEpkJuBiX7-Oq3k33dDdZVI52OhcRK4uZnLvoXuuLhoqYfazPLinFXzUQb5MWHIU_9hp/w640-h640/Tomato%252C+Onion+%2526+Goat+Cheese+Tarts.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.forkknifeswoon.com/tomato-onion-goat-cheese-tarts/" target="_blank">Image credit</a></div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://www.forkknifeswoon.com/tomato-onion-goat-cheese-tarts/" target="_blank">Tomato, Onion & Goat Cheese Tarts</a></div><div>Now this one is a bit of a cheat because I love this recipe but I haven’t made it in well over two years! I only recently took my pie base from London back in October of 2020. But I definitely will be making plenty of it this year. This is such an easy recipe to follow and although it calls for 4 tarts, I just make one big one. I don’t make my own pastry so that makes the recipe even easier. Really the hardest bit here is caramelizing the onions, it’s still something I have to master but I give it a good go each time and I love making it. Caramelized onions paired with goats’ cheese and tomatoes is a winner and this dish is a refreshing changing from all the pasta and chicken I make! I made this recently, again because I'd been working on this blog post, and it was just as good as I remembered. I always pick a mild goats cheese so it's never overpowering in the dish. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">| find me on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUWTRmTfSht4t8fVJBlmV0w?view_as=subscriber">YouTube</a> <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/sandraaaxo">bloglovin’</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/sandraaa_xo">twitter</a>, <a href="http://sandraaaxo.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a> & <a href="http://instagram.com/sandraaaxo">instagram</a> |</div>Pull Down The Moonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17497729459838365808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685484330641805112.post-36901829321695310822020-09-28T14:47:00.004+01:002020-10-17T13:19:59.758+01:00Exploring Scotland: Isle of Arran<div>I genuinely cannot believe it's been so long since I've written a blog post, I definitely got caught up in my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUWTRmTfSht4t8fVJBlmV0w?view_as=subscriber" target="_blank">BookTube channel</a> and studying. I've completed my Master's degree now and at the moment I am on a break from YouTube (I took time off to write my dissertation) and I really wanted to share these photos I took when I visited Arran back in July. </div><div><br /></div><div>We drove from Glasgow (I actually managed to drive us partway there) to the Ardrossan Ferry Terminal and got the ferry to Arran for about 11am. We had no real plans other than to just wander around and sometimes have no plans is just my favourite way to explore places. We ended up driving to Blackwaterfoot which is a village in Arran. It was so lovely to be so close to the sea, I know the last time I was near a sea before that was in Italy when I was visiting my friend in Latina. It was a pretty mild day when we went, it was raining in the morning but tapered off to a drizzle and then nothing in the afternoon. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj03yR9soQE8QgmCvQbMEEX0v03PXZMfqLl6Is4KTWbDJDe_MbuktW7cd6ZSRNpe9zfjio0RnX3HmffHtiOwN8Rdj77XkXi0tq6HAmkLcfxgeTuiVWg1x6u1Js2mjfTj97n4Uu6ssh_P4f_/s2048/IMG_0406.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj03yR9soQE8QgmCvQbMEEX0v03PXZMfqLl6Is4KTWbDJDe_MbuktW7cd6ZSRNpe9zfjio0RnX3HmffHtiOwN8Rdj77XkXi0tq6HAmkLcfxgeTuiVWg1x6u1Js2mjfTj97n4Uu6ssh_P4f_/w640-h426/IMG_0406.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioztZezF7QJzAvqlYU4G06JR2oi97cIjeYthMuaFiecTLmeW3qj2Wh4hD7O3WD-L_cRCrNHdZRKTL2iuIgL6nblh7gsTJKmoCzDcjXVUUtAlbyzNa1uZTF7NKSNDF1NUuj702PXoKOPKgj/s2048/IMG_0407.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioztZezF7QJzAvqlYU4G06JR2oi97cIjeYthMuaFiecTLmeW3qj2Wh4hD7O3WD-L_cRCrNHdZRKTL2iuIgL6nblh7gsTJKmoCzDcjXVUUtAlbyzNa1uZTF7NKSNDF1NUuj702PXoKOPKgj/w640-h426/IMG_0407.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3rFLD0YuemU6KF_HWjuz_TJT_qefqdR2Rcf_Lc5nkhVwWYtiVxDS9vosUkMFSErDGVPygi0Pbv9FBDOPJyK-N2-0cyFHt5LjALjv-9w7J9pblsSAGbWFnFJIc_L6_x4AWi-W1p0ITq1d8/s2048/IMG_0408.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3rFLD0YuemU6KF_HWjuz_TJT_qefqdR2Rcf_Lc5nkhVwWYtiVxDS9vosUkMFSErDGVPygi0Pbv9FBDOPJyK-N2-0cyFHt5LjALjv-9w7J9pblsSAGbWFnFJIc_L6_x4AWi-W1p0ITq1d8/w640-h426/IMG_0408.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHGJpLfKAuBHaLXSoZe_xGKOtbB8LXfHxjy5f1BBxwIW-RdiccDl65f9UjJ671pRqr51xMoHILNMXFpGvTQEWMzFCeSxAA_bHKuIbC0JpG-N42d1tNQqveRE317-zce6Dok9kLQ45JXub2/s2048/IMG_0411.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHGJpLfKAuBHaLXSoZe_xGKOtbB8LXfHxjy5f1BBxwIW-RdiccDl65f9UjJ671pRqr51xMoHILNMXFpGvTQEWMzFCeSxAA_bHKuIbC0JpG-N42d1tNQqveRE317-zce6Dok9kLQ45JXub2/w640-h426/IMG_0411.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhirseeblHgtF9FdOJp2X7Hte6tugamx_8co-h1digbo61ZhWC59ZTyK_CzjPnesS9icH9iHGRDv4gFFtOQJi-4vBzXWAkamcl-PZFKujm_7JdKMQB5_YriFc_cg-hzyWwGOb89uwYa9vtM/s2048/IMG_0414.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhirseeblHgtF9FdOJp2X7Hte6tugamx_8co-h1digbo61ZhWC59ZTyK_CzjPnesS9icH9iHGRDv4gFFtOQJi-4vBzXWAkamcl-PZFKujm_7JdKMQB5_YriFc_cg-hzyWwGOb89uwYa9vtM/w640-h426/IMG_0414.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Pu1GXyvekj5ArX5qNcIR3omlJ8_JR0XFfJhpkxamyYipzDuMvzpNszKVZqrfOV2kSxRZ6izS4ht0n2meE9Ioq0aeJhiWqpWtLz73soAqIlnRLHOi0_c9N2iV8tdbQpJGrY8JgdJAEjrN/s2048/IMG_0415.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Pu1GXyvekj5ArX5qNcIR3omlJ8_JR0XFfJhpkxamyYipzDuMvzpNszKVZqrfOV2kSxRZ6izS4ht0n2meE9Ioq0aeJhiWqpWtLz73soAqIlnRLHOi0_c9N2iV8tdbQpJGrY8JgdJAEjrN/w640-h426/IMG_0415.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We then decided to go and see the Machrie Moor Standing Stones had no idea about it prior to coming here but it seemed like a nice bit of history to go and see.

I mentioned in my <a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2018/11/exploring-scotland-edinburgh.html">Edinburgh post</a> that between moving and everything else I felt like I had abandoned my blog. I have quickly realised that this is very much true (blame, my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUWTRmTfSht4t8fVJBlmV0w?view_as=subscriber">BookTube channel</a>) but also that I never officially mentioned that I was moving on the blog. I moved from London to Scotland in September to study for my masters and it’s been a whirlwind! I live in a quiet old town in a flat beside a beautiful river and I get to study the one industry I’m totally passionate about – publishing!<br />
<br />

Whilst I’m here though I can’t help but explore what Scotland has to offer! Living in London it was always somewhere that was so close that I always opted to go abroad but now I’m here my eyes are opened to all of the wonderful places I can explore in Scotland. I have loads to share but today I’m going to share my most recent trip to The Kelpies.<br />

The Kelpies is in Falkirk, Scotland and we went by car (they have two car parks nearby) but it is also accessible by public transport. I’ve loved the idea of The Kelpies from the first time I heard about it, a kelpie is shapeshifting water animal and it’s typically depicted as a horse. Since moving to Scotland I’ve found it’s very much steeped in mythical creatures and dark creepy stories which I’m somehow drawn to!<br />

Anyway, the reason The Kelpies was created in Falkirk isn’t that spirit horses were haunting the locals, instead, it’s an ode to horse heritage in Scotland. It’s a huge horse head sculpture made from structural steel, it measures 30 metres high and weighs 300 tonnes each. It’s in Helix Park surrounded by a canal and a river. There are cycling paths in Helix Park as well as walking and running paths. There is a tour you can book and also a visitors centre with a café and a gift shop but we just had a walk around the area and it was perfect for us!<br />

<br />
I’d thoroughly encourage a visit to see The Kelpies as when you’re there you are totally amazed by how huge they are and it’s truly worth seeing. The visitor's centre also explains why it was created shows you a time lapse of everything being put together – truly spectacular!<br />

With 2018 done, I thought I would share some of my favourite books of the year. I have done full videos on all my books, so I’ve just handpicked a couple from the video, you can check out the videos at the end for more books and full details about why I love them.<br />

<br />
This is should be mandatory reading for everyone, not only is it about Britain’s history with racism and slavery (very few books are) but it explains to white people the frustrations black women face when it comes to talking (let alone dealing) with racism. This non-fiction read is short, to the point and informative. I want to read more like it.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
A gem of a book and a helpful one at that. Again, this is aimed at a UK audience and I am here for this! Otegha is an inspiration (I’ve attending one of her branding classes and her knowledge is excellent) and in this book she gives practical advice for working women and those wanting to branch into freelance work in whatever industry. The information is bite-sized and easy to follow, she also includes advice from superstar women in all different types of careers to give you that girl power boost.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
A book about loneliness, friendship, addiction and disfigurement set in Scotland. You basically fall in love with Eleanor and her way of seeing the world and her slow reintegration back into society. This debut by Honeyman was heavily bided on by publishers, earning the author a six-figure advance, outstanding for a newbie. Regardless it’s a heart-warming read that was heavily marketed year and won a fair number of awards, light and easy reading!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
This memoir from Yrsa is part poetry, part prose and it is stunning. Yrsa rawly depicts her life up until now in words bound together by what seems like magic. Her style is great but also the story she has to share is so gritty and interesting that you can’t help but want to know what happens next. The Terrible is her name for depression and I think it’s a perfectly fitting name.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
I gushed about this book and even did a full review on it because it honestly blew me away and I found myself nodding at about 85% of it. Dolly’s memoir is full of laughs that anyone born between 1990 – 1996 can probably relate to, it includes MSN, university nights and London living.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
I love a good motivational book and I love one that manages to say something new to me and make me feel inspired. Big Magic is the book you need to read in 2019, Gilbert offers practical advice for creativity of any form and invites you to stop comparing yourself and seeing success in only one way. This is also part memoir for Gilbert as she shares life after her successful book Eat, Pray, Love and what that has done for her writing and her life.<br />

I know it feels like I’ve abandoned this blog but it’s just been the moving thing and the studying thing that has thrown me out of sync! I had a skincare blog post planned for such a long time (the photos have been ready for over two months) but I just haven’t managed to get myself to write anything about it! Anyway, today I wanted to share a couple of photos from a trip to Edinburgh at the end of October, my friend and I went there during our reading week to explore and see what the city had to say! I had never been to Edinburgh before that except to get off at the station and get a train or a tram. So it was time to see what all the sites were saying in the capital city.<br />

We started off by getting coffee in The Edinburgh Larder (definitely recommend and check out the food too) before walking The Royal Mile and then heading to Arthur’s Seat. It was only along this walk that I remembered I had my DSLR so that’s where the majority of my pictures take place.<br />

We attempted to walk to Arthur's Seat but we both underestimated how intense it would be. Between the wrong shoes and my lack of fitness, I was ready to curl up in a ball and claim ‘half way up Arthur’s Seat’ as my final resting place. So rather than die on that hill, we decided to leave it. We had a decent view from where we were and we just were not prepared for the hike. I was told later there are some stairs that can take you to the top, they are hard to do but not as hard as the walking route.<br />

I was curious to know why this place was so famous though and below is why:<br />
<i>The parks highest point is Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, and sits 251m above sea level giving an excellent view of the city; it is also the site of a large and well-preserved fort.</i><br />
<a href="https://www.visitscotland.com/info/see-do/holyrood-park-and-arthurs-seat-p914341">Visit Scotland</a><br />
<br />
A whole ass volcano in Scotland! Seeing as I live an hour (by train) from Edinburgh I’ll certainly be sure to pay it a visit during my two years here. After our climbing fail we decided to visit another attraction – the castle. We didn’t go in as neither of us are interested in history in that way but we did walk up there to take a look and get another view of Edinburgh. I love that there are so many viewpoints in the city. Like I said with me being so close to Edinburgh I’m going to be visiting it more often, mainly because I have a list as long as my arm that’s filled with food places and coffee shops!<br />

Well, I haven’t posted for a while but I’m back with a skincare related post! How long has it been since one of these? I can’t even remember but all I know is you’ve seen loads of me prancing around London and other parts of the world, so today I thought I’d bring it back to one of my favourite things - skincare - and share my thoughts on some products I’ve been testing out.<br />
<br />
In this post, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the <b style="font-style: italic;">Antipodes Certified Organic Resurrect Facial Toner </b>and<b style="font-style: italic;"> La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Face Ultra-Light Fluid SPF50+</b>. I ordered both of these products 2 months ago and one day of me posting it. Last week I finished the Antipodes product but I'm still going strong with the La Roche-Posay sunscreen.<br />
<br />

<u>Antipodes Certified Organic Resurrect Facial Toner </u></h3>
I’m not really sure why I bought this toner, I know I just wanted a change from using my Serozinc so I decided to get a bit fancy and this was discounted at the time.<br />

<i><a href="https://www.feelunique.com/p/Antipodes-Certified-Organic-Resurrect-Facial-Toner-100ml">Antipodes Certified Organic Resurrect Facial Toner - £19.99 for 100ml</a></i></div>
<br />
I didn’t dislike this toner but much like toners of this nature I didn’t feel like it did anything, it was more of a nice to have and I think that’s also evident in the product description ‘A beautifully refreshing toner that harnesses the positive energy of sweet sage and offers immediate moisture and hydration to dry and stressed skin.’<br />
<br />
I don’t think this toner has many ingredients that will help your skin, so if like me you expect your toner to be exfoliating then this won’t be the product for you. This toner is more about providing your skin and your senses with a quick pick me up, toners of this nature are usually quite refreshing and aim to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day (as long as you keep spritzing). It also is supposed to provide your senses with a sense of calm with the lavender scent. I think this product is well aligned to what Antipodes stands for, the natural vibes, organically sourced, free peace image with products that will calm you as well as help your skin. However, if you’re looking for a product with results, this won’t be the one for you. I didn’t hate this product I just wouldn’t purchase it again because I want more from my toner than scent and marketing. However, if you have the coin to spend, I’d get this because it definitely is needed during this recent heatwave.<br />
<br />
<b>Highlights:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Smells great</li>
<li>Keeps skin hydrated </li>
<li>A spray – no faffing about with cotton rounds </li>
</ul>
<b>Downside:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>No real skin benefits </li>
<li>Expensive for what it is </li>
</ul>

I am currently loving this sunscreen! Obviously, I can’t say how well it performs until many years later but I can comment on how it feels etc and why I think it should be your next sunscreen purchase.<br />

Firstly, this is made for the face, a lot of sunscreens are these days but it’s really important! However, sunscreen is typically heavy and if like me you have oily skin you don’t want anything too thick or anything that will block your pores. This product is lightweight well ‘ultra -light’ as they put it and is created for normal to combination skin, plus it is non-comedogenic so you don’t have to worry about it clogging up your skin!<br />
<br />
Secondly, the product absorbs into your skin so fast without leaving a white cast! It dries leaving your face moisturised but you don’t feel like your skin is chalky or that it has a film on it. For me, this is so important because having oily skin I don’t like to have products just sit on my face. Personally, I think you need less than a teaspoon and it covers your face and neck and just sinks into your skin. I don’t tend to wear foundation day to day, so I really can have this as my last thing and then do my eyebrows etc, but when I do wear foundation I find this sit perfectly underneath it. It doesn’t pile up or feel like an extra layer.<br />
<br />
My third and last point is about the quantity, this product is 50ml and has lasted me over two months with daily use, I use it every morning and have used it on holiday too and it shows no signs of being empty. I think with something like sunscreen you have to be willing to pay that little bit more to protect your face, so whilst I do think this is great value for money, I also think that it’s actually a fantastic formula that allows you to protect your skin whilst still being decently priced. It’s factor 50+ and included UVA and UVB protection.<br />
<br />
Like I said I can’t comment on how effective this in the long run but I do know if you want a product that you can easily take in with your hand luggage, that is lightweight, isn’t sticky and doesn’t leave a white cast then you should definitely give this a go. This is definitely in my skincare hero set, it’s taking a while but I’m slowly building up the right products for my skin!<br />
<br />
<b>Highlights:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A non-greasy formula </li>
<li>Sinks in instantly </li>
<li>Great price point</li>
</ul>
<b>Downside:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>None that I can see at the moment – it’s a win! </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />

Have you tried any of these products? Or is there anything you think I should try?</h3>

Last weekend I had the absolute joy of visiting the lavender fields in Surrey. We’ve been having such wonderful weather in the UK and it was perfect on this Sunday. I basically got to prance around in a sea of my favourite colour, in the sun and with great company. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Lavender isn’t actually one of my favourite smells, I like it but as a scent that’s meant to be calming I find it really overwhelming so I was slightly worried I was going to feel inundated with the scent but nope, I would just be hit with waves of lavender every 30 seconds or so and it was so refreshing. They have fields and fields of it (as you'd expect) in Mayfield and even though there are loads of people around you can still get a fantastic shot with no one in it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Entry is £2 and you can drive or take public transport there, although with it being absolutely miles from me all the way in north London I wouldn’t even know how you get there by public transport! They have on-site parking so that’s handy! </div>

Although I’m looking all nice and serene in these photos I was deadly scared of the bees! There weren’t as many as I thought there would be but still one too many! Of course, I had to get stung by one! I’m 100% sure I did, I still have the bump on my leg, but hey ho I’m alive! So aside from bugs, you’ll have a great time! There’s a café in the middle which you can get some lavender flavoured drinks and foods and then there’s a shop further down where you can buy all lavender related things. I had to purchase some lavender but there was also lavender oil, lavender tea, lavender candles basically the lavender ensemble can be found here!<br />

If you’re looking for something to do this summer I would definitely recommend this. Plus it’s nice to get out of London sometimes (or just on the border).<br />

Welcome to my final Italy post! This was actually the second and third day of our time in Tuscany but we’ll just ignore the fact that I haven’t done things in chronological order. Today I’ll be showing you around Monticchiello and Siena. </div>

Monticchiello is a village in the Province of Siena. It was quite close to where we stayed and we passed through it a couple of times and wanted to explore it, plus we wanted to find a dinner spot that was relatively close to us for one of the evenings we had in Tuscany. It’s such a beautiful village and it is really quiet, you really won’t bump into many tourists. It has a beautiful viewpoint and overlooks the valley in the region of Tuscany.<br />
<br />
Monticchiello is a quaint place with such cute surroundings. Most houses have lovely flowerpots decorating their house and it has such a wonderful charm to it. There is a small church around but we didn’t go into it.<br />

The next day we went to Siena. We didn't plan on visiting it but so many people suggested it to me when I said I was staying near there, and considering everywhere was a bit of a drive why not fit in another major city?<br />

I’m so glad we went because Siena was stunning! You get inside the city and you’re instantly wowed by the buildings. We only explored the centre, which is basically the tourist part but it was beautiful AND I had the best gelato of my whole trip there.<br />
<br />
We ended up being there during there during a traditional festival that the Sienese have that sees different districts compete against each other (for what exactly I have no idea). The streets are lined with the districts sign (we saw a fish, and maybe a horse), there are rows and rows of tables and then food! We only saw the prep for the festival but it was a lovely thing to stumble upon and read about, as there’s a parade and everything. We then walked through to Piazza del Campo which was beautiful and we read about how they have The Palio di Siena - a horse race that takes place in the square.<br />

We also went to see the Siena Cathedral, it’s an absolute sight to see and construction started in 1215. I love looking at church designs, but never have the patience to go inside and actually walk around them. I kinda feel like once you’ve seen them all, you’ve seen all the expensive stuff that’s inside all of them.<br />

After a long week at work and numerous errands you’ve had to do day after day, all you need is a little bit of you time to relax and indulge yourself. Don’t even doubt your decision for a second, because a little bit of pampering and some treats never killed anyone, and what’s more, it’ll be highly therapeutical for your mind and body. Therefore, if you’re in dire need of pampering yourself, we offer you five options that will never make you feel guilty for spending money on them.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h3>
Have a massage</h3>
Indulging in a long massage is sometimes all you need to feel recharged and relaxed. A day at the spa can easily make your week look less stressful and prepare you for your next challenges. Don’t wait a minute longer but book your appointment immediately, and let the skilled masseurs do their magic on your back, neck, and feet and you’ll feel like a brand new woman after only an hour of this soothing and <a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2018/01/guest-post-chemical-peels-what-are-they.html">replenishing treatment</a>. Think about bringing a few of your friends with you as well and make it a cute little girl’s day, catching up and enjoying the relaxing charms of massages.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Go on a shopping spree</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkpTFTMKjoUfw-NSl6AUvCAza4T46NYlcBeNVWxgT1UyQ6FIf0LBpp15u8-YYM8yd-8E38x3VukALMMpG0B8zFtkJpoVTK3kUp1_MY5SgSwi517Bx5Wib9l4xhRANEHZA3TdP8fdCML0tn/s1600/shopping+spree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="940" height="532" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkpTFTMKjoUfw-NSl6AUvCAza4T46NYlcBeNVWxgT1UyQ6FIf0LBpp15u8-YYM8yd-8E38x3VukALMMpG0B8zFtkJpoVTK3kUp1_MY5SgSwi517Bx5Wib9l4xhRANEHZA3TdP8fdCML0tn/s640/shopping+spree.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div>
Yes, we know that every woman’s greatest vice is shopping and that we never have enough clothes, shoes and bags. However, a hectic lifestyle and a busy schedule can seriously disrupt your shopping rhythm, and if it’s been months since the last time you really brought something new into your wardrobe, grab those credit cards and hit the mall. Summer is almost here and we’re sure you need some new stylish swimwear, so make sure you check out the new collection of <a href="https://www.carlaswimwear.com.au/by-brand/seafolly-swimwear/desert-tribe">Seafolly Desert Tribe swimsuits</a> and you’ll certainly find the piece for your body type. A new skirt or a new sundress is always welcome in your closet, as well as a pair of wedge heels or a new clutch to match your lovely dress.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Mani-pedi treatment</h3>
<div>
You can’t look neat and tidy unless your nails are buffed and nicely manicured. Summer is the season to show off your skin, your new flip flops, sandals, open toes and heels, which means your feet and hands need to be in tip-top shape. Therefore, make a mani-pedi appointment ASAP to give your hands and feet the proper care. Your feet will look amazing, and the new heels you bought on that shopping spree will look even more gorgeous once your feet are smooth and pampered. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Vacation</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Only when you pack your bags and hit the road can you say that you’re truly living your life. Getting to know new cities, countries and fabulous destinations is the best way to both relax and learn something new about the world. So, don’t hesitate to <a href="https://www.prevention.com/life/a20475162/everyday-ways-to-indulge-yourself-without-gaining-weight/">indulge yourself</a> with a lovely vacation in some of the exotic islands, or maybe an active vacation where you’ll be hiking, snorkelling, diving, surfing and exploring all the wonders of the country you’ve never been to before. You work hard all year long, so you shouldn’t feel guilty if you want to treat yourself with a trip to the mountains during winter, or if you’d prefer to hit the beach and show off your new swimwear right by the ocean.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Cleanse your body and mind</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMXpEdxILtQHtzaOVqABS4XjsqvNFC6p0mTOUqj2F69o_z66d9s-x4LaK7UQQTZrBYaOLx-rwhnSvHdKDGpSsPGPTRAgQwVHv5gRUY-ns4i_cVEzXfdvtRn5o_IFmDyq6IhZfOQUcTMck/s1600/rima-kruciene-671788-unsplash+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMXpEdxILtQHtzaOVqABS4XjsqvNFC6p0mTOUqj2F69o_z66d9s-x4LaK7UQQTZrBYaOLx-rwhnSvHdKDGpSsPGPTRAgQwVHv5gRUY-ns4i_cVEzXfdvtRn5o_IFmDyq6IhZfOQUcTMck/s640/rima-kruciene-671788-unsplash+%25281%2529.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>

<div>
<div>
Cleansing your mind, body, and soul of all the worry, anxiety, stress, and responsibility is much needed after a long working period. Meditation classes and <a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2018/04/goal-setting-revisiting-yoga-goals.html">yoga</a> will help you reconnect with your inner self and calm all your thoughts, while also allowing your body to relax. An extra-long hot shower is sometimes the best remedy for all the stress, just as a bath bomb can bring an additional dose of calmness into your bathing routine. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Light up a great smelling candle and put it next to your bath to get that spa-like feel and forget about all your worries. A relaxing playlist can have the same effect, creating a true Zen-like atmosphere in your own home. To cleanse your body from the inside, drink detox waters and add different fruit combinations for different results. Soothing teas will have the same effect if you like to indulge in these warm infusions. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Final thoughts</h3>
<div>
Every time you feel like you need a bit of rest, go with your instincts and treat yourself with a simple reward that’ll make you feel rejuvenated and ready for new challenges. Even if you just buy a new lipstick, without spending a fortune in an hour-long shopping spree, it’ll still be a little treat and money well spent, so you shouldn’t regret it for a second. </div>
</div>

So, I’m doing my Italy posts in a kind of backwards way (you’ll see what I mean next week). I didn’t want the last post to be too crammed with pictures and that means I can show you more of the place we stayed in this week. Really the last post should have had this title but oh well! Next week I will actually be showing you more of Tuscany as well as Sienna! If you’ve arrived here because you’ve searched for Vitabella Toscana then check out <a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2018/06/exploring-italy-tuscany.html">my previous post for pictures of the inside of La Ginestra</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So this post will be relatively short and sweet but I wanted to share our last day and one of the best features of the place - the pool!</div>

Our last day was our rest day and it was also a Sunday so it just felt fitting! The weather was lovely AND the best thing was there wasn't a soul around! People were staying in other apartments as we'd seen people during our stay but we had the whole pool to ourselves! It was fantastic. I have to now admit that I have a thing with pools where I don't actually get in. I can swim, but, I hate freezing cold water and no matter how hard I try I can push myself through the discomfort to be able to swim. Plus I don't even like swimming that much! So my preferences is always to sit on a sunlounger underneath an umbrella with a good book and a drink!</div>

After much photo taking, video editing and reading we were peckish so I whipped up this Pinterest recipe. It's a lovely veggie recipe and if you love mushrooms you will love this. We headed back to our apartment and sat on the terrace soaking in the view for the last time during the day.<br />

Then it was time for our final dinner before we headed back to Rome the next day and to the airport. I made a spicy sauce pasta dish and it was delicious but basically enough to feed four people!!<br />

I love doing these posts as I'm able to look back at all the awesome things I get to do with my life. It's so easy to forget sometimes the lovely things you get to do when you're caught up in everything else. I hope you're enjoying these posts and definitely give <a href="https://www.vitabellatoscana.com/en/">Vitabella Toscana</a> a chance if you're looking to stay in Tuscany. </div>

I left off my last post talking about how I’d share the most beautiful place to stay ever and I mean it. When I go on holiday I’m not much of a going out clubbing type of girl, I much prefer an evening in with a lovely bottle of wine. As a result of this I get more cash to splash out in where I’m staying and because we were going to Tuscany and wanted to in the middle of nowhere we decided to stay in an apartment. Only we found the best apartment/villa type place and honestly it was perfect. The only thing missing is a bath, haha but that’s because I’m 100% a bath person and you’ll have seen from my time in <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2017/04/one-night-at-bull-inn-chalbury_3.html">Oxford</a></span> and <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2017/10/one-night-at-hotel-du-vin-york.html">York</a></span>. We drove from the airport to Tuscany and a wonderful double rainbow accompanied us for some of the journey. <o:p></o:p></div>

So we splurged on the place we wanted to stay in for the next 4 nights and I’m so glad we did! Given the season we went the place was empty and with it being in the middle of nowhere it just meant we got the peace we wanted. We stayed in Vitabella Toscana in their 2 bed apartment and it was fantastic. The pictures of the inside are so grainy because of the setting on my camera but you get the picture!<br />

The cat seemed to like our apartment the most and was a daily visitor. Of course, with such a stunning view to hand, we spent most of the time taking it all in but also posing for photos because this place felt unreal!<br />

It feels like such a long time ago, but it really isn’t! I didn’t plan on going on any holidays until towards the end of the year but who can resist a good old holiday when a friend asks?<br />

I seem to be in the habit of revisiting old places, <a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2017/10/amsterdam-day-1.html">Amsterdam last year </a>for example, which I love, it’s nice going to the same place twice because you can take in so much more than you did the first time. You can slow down and really enjoy the place you're in without the rush of having to see everything. The place I revisited was Rome, I went in 2016 and thought it was lovely. It’s such a romantic city and there is just something about the air there. I love that it has a lot of history too, although I do like telling people that any rock can basically be classified as a ruin.<br />
<br />
We were only really in Rome for one full day, our flight was changed on the way there due to Italian airport staff striking and then we drove to Tuscany on the 3rd day.<br />

The main things we did were going to The Colosseum (it was my second time there and I still found it so fascinating), see the Pantheon and visit Trevi Fountain. I also got to take the funniest picture of a couple (they asked) at The Colosseum, it made the whole experience for me! It’s such an astounding Amphitheatre and I love reading about everything that went on. The Trevi Fountain is always a treat to see, I always get Olsen twin vibes from watching their shows when I was younger. One thing I’m gutted about is that I didn’t rent a Vespa! However, I would have been so nervous riding it in the city.<br />

I had a lovely time in Rome the only thing was that it rained so heavily during the evenings! I’m not a party girl anyway, so I was happy being tucked up in a restaurant or a bar, but it was not what you’re expecting when you leave London to go elsewhere! The weather during the day was great though. On the last day, we visited the ever so popular Bonci for some pizza! It was good but I’d say the arancini was miles better!<br />

After what felt like a fleeting visit we took ourselves back to the airport to get our hire car and start the second part of our holiday and I’ll be sharing pictures of the best place ever (yes, I mean this) in my next post! Until then arrivederci amici. Enjoy the bank holiday if you’re in the UK!<br />

I have so much great photos coming up from my holiday in Italy, so I'm really excited to share those.<br />
<br />
Anyway today I am going to be talking about Bristol, I went in March and I cannot believe I never shared any of the photos I took! I went for a friends birthday so I was only there for one night but managed to see the wonderful Clifton Suspension Bridge. Who knew bridges would be a thing I was in to? But this one is particularly stunning. See for yourself!<br />

We first went to the viewing point which obviously provides some of the best views of the bridge. It definitely was a photo opp for me as usual even if it was freezing cold! I have to say this Zara coat is the best at keeping me warm though, I basically only felt the cold through the holes in my ripped jeans. We went during the weekend where there was snow falling across the UK, so looking back wearing ripped jeans was a stupid idea. Although we had sunshine during the day it was bloody freezing the snow slowly descended in the evening.<br />

So after nearly freezing our fingers off, we headed to a friends to get ready. I stayed with my friend's friend and their house was a book lovers paradise. So many lovely books everywhere, I must have spent an hour just leafing through them! We got ready and headed over to a brewery for some drinks as our dinner reservation wasn't until late.<br />

We then headed off to eat all the steak at <a href="https://www.pasturerestaurant.com/">Pasture</a>. This is a new place that's opened up and it was SO good! They gave us the private dining room even though we just made a normal reservation and it was just nice because it was away from all the noise. The steak was delicious - honestly, one of the best I've eaten and everything else (especially the wine) was great! They also do amazing cocktails and have such a good list of beers, seriously I had the loveliest time there.<br />

I was only in Bristol for a short amount of time but I really enjoyed what I saw of it. I definitely need to make it so I see some more cities in the UK though!<br />

The area is so picturesque and my friend and I had such a lovely day wandering around the place, snapping away and getting some photos of ourselves! The whole thing is free and when we went it wasn't full at all, I'd say there were about 15 people walking around. We ended up near a pond area and there was a couple doing wedding pictures and shooting a video - complete with a drone! The Pergola is popular wedding destination and I can understand why!<br />

This is the huge townhouse that sits just behind the Pergola. The Pergola was built by a past owner who wanted to have amazing garden parties that had a spectacular view - imagine being invited to a party at this place!<br />

The area has such breathtaking views of Hampstead Heath, I sort of feel like my pictures do not do it justice but I hope I'm covering about 75% of what makes this place so special!

Finally, I took a whole bunch of pictures of the cherry blossom - I'm still trying to perfect photos using the 50mm lens, I haven't got there yet but it is lovely practising with it and after editing the photos in Lightroom, I'm even more happy with how these photos turned out.<br />

I 100% recommend taking a look at The Hill Garden and Pergola during Spring and probably even the Summer. I know it would still be nice in the winter but I think Spring is perfect because it isn't too hot (as there's no shade here) but isn't freezing cold either. I'm outstanding that I didn't know this was on my doorstep, if you're ever visiting London it's certainly a sight to visit and walk around. Especially with it being in Hampstead, it means you can use this as your starting point and go on to look at the rest of the park as well as Hampstead. I'm loving finding different things to do in London on the weekend that just make me feel more grateful for the city I've grown up in. </div>

Well, I’d like to revisit it because I like to hold myself accountable for the things I set out to do (well when I can remember them that is). Yoga is still very much part of my life but I go through phases but I’m just happy it remains in my life. I tried two different yoga studios last year and one them I absolutely love, however, it isn’t that close to me so sometimes laziness does settle in! I still do a lot of Sarah Beth’s yoga videos as I still adore her.<br />

<b>Crow Pose (Bakasana) </b>–This was a pose that I really wanted to nail and I would practice it on and off but never committed to nailing it fully. I am pleased to say that I can now hold it for longer than 8 seconds, I have managed 17 seconds now but I’m not able to have my arms straight which is actually fine as variations when you start off is perfectly acceptable. So I’m not that happy with the progress for this only because I haven’t really tried but happy that I’ve managed to improve on how long I hold my weight for because trust me, the pose is intense.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Wheel pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana)</b> – I did not even attempt to nail this one. I was waiting until I’d gotten crow pose down before I tried this. For me, this pose is really scary and heart openers are no joke. There was the option in two classes I’ve attended to try full wheel pose but I’ve always done the variation because the class was too big to have the teacher guide me through and I didn’t want to break my neck. I personally think this is one of the hard poses and although I’d like to be able to do it I’m not setting my sights on it this year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfFajS1d0z770O8R5T9GhXll8c6f0NZa6roSHWDGzJIb3W_Z5AGhqCIR5tcMGVjYabxeXIA3Rnez7unokSTjZDH6iUD_xVp7ecuBkX4tjfKMb8PGnuWFjOtzo2EIAEkZ5Tc62zvZcCEOV/s1600/Warrior+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="440" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfFajS1d0z770O8R5T9GhXll8c6f0NZa6roSHWDGzJIb3W_Z5AGhqCIR5tcMGVjYabxeXIA3Rnez7unokSTjZDH6iUD_xVp7ecuBkX4tjfKMb8PGnuWFjOtzo2EIAEkZ5Tc62zvZcCEOV/s640/Warrior+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<b>Warrior III (Virabhadrasana) </b>– Ahh the only Warrior that I couldn’t do! I have mastered this and for me, it’s great because of the ankle problem I mentioned in that pose. However I didn’t achieve this last year, I only achieved it about a month ago. I finally decided to get physio for my ankle because I thought it was worth a shot to see if it improved my pain before deciding to opt for surgery. I spent 2 months with a great physio who gave me great exercises to strengthen my ankle and my calf and honestly it was so good to be doing something about it. The work we did together helped to strengthen my calf (it’s nearly the same size as my other one) but also helped me with bearing weight on my ankle. As this was one of my main issues he had one exercise dedicated to that. After time bearing weight on my ankle got easier and easier and I can now do Warrior III on both sides. The left more wobbly than the right but it’s still great. It’s not the most challenging of poses but for me personally, it’s a great triumph!<br />
<br />
<h2>
What I’ve learned</h2>
So that’s it and I’m really happy with the outcomes if I’m honest. One is completed, the other is a work in progress and I’ve decided to bin the other one for the time being. Setting goals aren’t always about smashing them it’s also about learning from them and adapting them if you find that doesn’t quite suit you.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Moving forward</h2>
I’ve decided really to move my thoughts from nailing poses to being more dedicated to yoga overall. I still remember the class and doing sun salutation A and how that made me feel so connected to yoga that I was like, yes, this is what I want to do forever. Nailing poses is great because it is part of the practice but I was only wanting to do it for vanity sake and because of course, it would make for some awesome pictures! However, if I focus on the journey I’m going to love yoga more and feel more connected to my body AND be able to do those poses anyway. I’m also working out more in the gym now, focusing on cardio and doing a workout plan, so I just need to find a way to balance all of these things!<br />

<h2>
First of all, switch to a healthier diet</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFfhrORicNMT1yctpRaC5OETk0BiXlpwOuJeg6Vve2vvjG5cuB1WNFxkZRShWIOjPMEjXjsa-KnnQnsnFk_692ikmt3FOQGrtHq_XDF0_xZNJvAezQom4_OSjtK-RhnK6ui64gFKfaj4Bz/s1600/image4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFfhrORicNMT1yctpRaC5OETk0BiXlpwOuJeg6Vve2vvjG5cuB1WNFxkZRShWIOjPMEjXjsa-KnnQnsnFk_692ikmt3FOQGrtHq_XDF0_xZNJvAezQom4_OSjtK-RhnK6ui64gFKfaj4Bz/s640/image4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first and one of the most important things that significantly affect your skin is your diet, so be sure you do whatever you need to improve it. First of all, you should stay away from processed foods as much as possible, since they’re rich in artificially added sugars and empty calories that can do more harm than good – both for your skin and your overall health. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s exactly why you should switch to a healthier diet that includes a lot of fresh fruits and veggies, as well as protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. You should always bear in mind that foods rich in antioxidants, like cranberries, blackberries, pecans, and even dark chocolate can fight inflammation and delay the process of aging, too, and incorporating them into your diet is certainly one of the best ways to <a href="http://attainedbeauty.com/2018/02/how-to-give-your-skin-a-detox/"><span style="color: #1155cc;">give your skin a detox</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h2>
<br />Use gentle scrubs and try dry body brushing</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Exfoliation can also be quite <a href="http://www.rachyreviews.com/new-skin-nope-just-revived-with-the-keihls-daily-reviving-concentrate/"><span style="color: #1155cc;">useful for your skin</span></a>, especially between the seasons, which is why you should find a good gentle scrub appropriate for your skin type. You can also make a homemade scrub from scratch, and that’s a fantastic way to come up with a fabulous product without breaking the bank. You can use such a scrub on both your face and your body, just make sure not to exfoliate too often – two to three times a week will be more than enough. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other hand, dry body brushing supports your body’s lymphatic system and detoxification process by improving your lymphatic flow, eliminating the toxins, and reducing your cellulite. You should do it in the morning before you take a shower – start with using light pressure and then move on to firmer strokes. Begin with the lower body, and then move on to your hands, arms, back, chest, and abdomen. Do it for about 2-3 minutes, until your skin is rosy and slightly tingly.</div>

<h2>
Opt for quality cosmeceutical skincare products</h2>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We believe that a lot of women all across the world have made some New Year’s resolutions regarding their health and beauty in general. And if you’re one of them, you should know that spring is the perfect time to make your skincare resolution happen! You should definitely <a href="https://www.myskinsolution.com.au/"><span style="color: #1155cc;">try out cosmeceutical skin care</span></a> this spring, as such products are much more than regular creams and serums. In fact, cosmeceuticals are made from active ingredients with much smaller molecular structure, which is exactly why they can penetrate deeper into your skin and nourish it from within. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_gjdgxs"></a>The fact that they can get deep into the skin basically means that these ingredients can change the living cells and positively affect the way they function, for example, by helping them produce more collagen and therefore reducing or preventing wrinkles. If you’re up for that, you should definitely give cosmeceuticals a try!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
Make sure you incorporate amazing facial masks into your routine</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://seguraandco.com/5-reasons-need-facial-masks/"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Facial masks</span></a> are another great way of giving your skin exactly what it needs in just a couple of minutes, so be sure not to forget them this spring either. Similarly to healthy green smoothies that can detoxify your body from within, such masks are extremely helpful when it comes to detoxifying your skin as they can cleanse your pores and eliminate the trapped dirt, makeup residue, and excess oils. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Korean sheet masks may be the best possible choice, since the cotton sheet acts as a seal that prevents the beneficial ingredients from evaporating. That’s how those ingredients penetrate into your skin and hydrate it to the max, which is what you need between the seasons. When the impurities are removed and your skin is nourished, you’ll see a fantastic improvement!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As you can see, there are so many ways to give your skin a fabulous detox this spring. Switching to a healthier diet is an absolute must, as well as using gentle scrubs, dry body brushing, opting for quality cosmeceuticals, and incorporating facial masks into your everyday skin routine. Just be sure not to skip any of these steps, and you’ll manage to accomplish that without any doubt!<o:p></o:p></div>

</div>
During March I went along with a friend to <span id="goog_875702146"></span><span id="goog_875702147"></span><a href="https://www.thecheesebar.com/">The Cheese Bar</a> in Camden. Despite living in Camden I'd never heard of this place but I really enjoyed it there. I still need to go back and get myself a toastie. But until I do I thought I'd share some photos from The Cheese Bar and my trip inside Camden's market. Living there means I barely ever go there because it's always rammed but it's so nice to wander around like I did when I was a teenager. The Cheese Bar was full when we dropped by, but we left our number with them and about 30mins later they gave us a text. The service was wonderful and I loved the atmosphere. They have a huge table that you can sit on or the bar. We sat at the bar next to the kitchen and it was the perfect spot in my opinion!<br />

After we stuffed our faces we went a couple of doors <a href="https://www.pamban.co.uk/">Pamban Chai & Coffee House</a>. It was such a good idea, we had walked past it earlier and I love myself a dirty chai so I kept it in mind, we sat down for a drink in there and my chai tea was so nice. I'd love to go back and try the food and more drinks from there. In fact, I <b>should</b>, considering it's basically on my doorstep!<br />

I was a little hungover that day but the food and chai sorted me right out. Here are some other pictures I took on the day. Instead of sticking my camera in creative auto I had it on my previous setting for indoor and so it made all my photos quite dark but I thought I'd still share them as I like how some of them turned out.</div>

It's a shame I've started to use my camera more for filming and not taking photos so I'm always super rusty when I do, but I thought I'd take it out that particular Sunday to grab some snaps. I'm still learning my way through photography and Lightroom so hopefully I can bring some more exciting photos to my blog. Until then though - go and visit The Cheese Bar, you won't be disappointed! </div>

So I did it! I finally released my first YouTube video, I feel ancient considering I’ve been watching YouTubers for over 4 years and I’ve only just started mine up but that doesn't matter because the important thing is that I've started! Thankfully my aim isn’t to become famous just have a platform to talk about books and whatever I fancy, as well as share my thoughts with people.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had to cut my first video in half because I talk way too much and I didn’t want to have a long video as my first video, and YouTube has restrictions on loading videos that are longer than 15 mins if you’re not verified or something like that. Regardless I finally have my first video up, even if it is in two parts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope with time I can get the settings absolutely right as I know for sure my camera has the ability to produce a more high resolution video. Until then I’d love it if you could check out the videos, leave me a comment, like & subscribe. I have so many ideas for other videos and hopefully, once I get into the swing of things I'll be more concise and articulate in my videos.</div>

I always have books in mind to read but then get distracted by deals or hype and forget about the books I've been dying to read, so hopefully, this list will hold me accountable.<br />
<br />
This is also the perfect time to post this because I'm starting a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUWTRmTfSht4t8fVJBlmV0w?view_as=subscriber">YouTube channel</a> that's gonna be all about books! At least for the time being. I finally bit the bullet and did it and I'm slowly thinking up content to post on. The first video will be out on Sunday 4th February and it's about the Man Booker Prize Shortlist 2016 so make sure you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUWTRmTfSht4t8fVJBlmV0w?view_as=subscriber">subscribe</a> to catch it and let me know what you think :)<br />

I've heard about this book for the longest time and saw the funniest thread about it last year when a girl was reading it on the train. The title itself is enough to make it intriguing but being a black woman in Britain I want to read it to find out what the author's experiences are because I've had lots! Learning some history would also be great, ever since I read Homegoing I've been wanting to delve deeper into Ghanaian/African/Black writing.<br />

I saw this book in WHSmith a month or so ago and read the back and thought it sounded great! As I said above I'd like to read more books that feature black women and talk about race etc. This book also just sounds really interesting, it's about two girls who are dancers. One has the talent and the other has the ideas. The story sounds like one that I'm gonna read and think "that's just not fair" but such is life. I've always wanted to pick up one of Zadie's books so I think this is the perfect place to start.<br />

This book won't actually be out until July but I've pre-ordered to make sure I'll get it! I found out about it through Madeline's post and it looked right up my street. It's about three Ghanaian females, househelp, and friendship. What drew me in the most is because it seems it will take readers on a journey from Ghana to London and for me that just makes me feel closer to home. Also how beautiful is the front cover?! The colours are so vivid.<br />

This book is part of a trilogy and I read the first book, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Things-Fall-Apart-Penguin-Classics/dp/0141023384/ref=la_B0045671ES_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1517066315&sr=1-1">Things Fall Apart</a>, last year, so I'd like to finish the series. These books are about Nigeria and the impact of colonialism in the community. This is about a Nigerian, after being schooled in Britain, returns home to a job in the civil service. He manages to avoid corruptions but then falls in love, leading him to accept bribes and possible his downfall? I look forward to finding out. Amazon says 'Showing a man lost in cultural limbo, and a Nigeria entering a new age of disillusionment..' which makes me think this will raise a lot of questions inside me.<br />

My day job is marketing, marketing in book publishing to be a tad specific and I just love all things marketing, to be honest. F0r 2018 I want to do some more learning and reading around the sector and industry I'm in and I follow the author on LinkedIn and have always said to myself I need to read this book. He posts great posts about how rapidly marketing is changing in this day and age and this title how technology is changing behaviour and how we can navigate through the "new normal" state of marketing we're in.<br />

Someone told me I should have a read of this since I work in marketing and after looking it up I've been meaning to pick up. In short, the book is about how to get the masses to do what you want. Not in a brainwashing way, but it's sort of the psychology behind manipulating people and thus create solid marketing strategies.<br />

<br />
So that's it for books I definitely want to read this year. In the meantime check out my previous book posts here, I used to post a monthly roundup of books on my blog but if I'm honest it got so time-consuming, but I will be doing the monthly roundups on my YouTube channel. so please <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUWTRmTfSht4t8fVJBlmV0w?view_as=subscriber">subscribe</a></b> if you enjoyed those :) After my Man Booker videos goes up I'll be doing a roundup of my 2017 books.<br />

Is anyone nursing a sore head this today? I kept it low key. I know today is super early but I wanted to get straight back into it with blogging and I have a guest post to share with you on skincare. I'm mainly sharing because I'm going through a series of skin peels myself, but want to wait until the end of my treatment so share my views. Until then please enjoy this post by John about chemical peels and how they work.</i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
In the era of viral YouTube videos where people can’t peel off their face masks, it may seem tedious to see another post about any facial treatment, after all, we’ve seen what knock-off brands can do. But one overlooked procedure that’s a professional and safe step-up from that black peel off horror is chemical peels. Yes, the word ‘chemical’ sounds scary but actually this procedure may be the solution to acne and uneven skin tones and blemishes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
A chemical peel is made up of alpha hydroxyl acids, <span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;">trichloroacetic acid</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; line-height: 115%;">or phenol. It sounds scary, but in reality, it can have some amazing results and a cleanse that over the counter products just cannot achieve.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="https://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/cosmetic-treatments-guide/Pages/Chemical-peels.aspx">Chemical peels are liquids that are used to overall improve the skin on your face.</a> The solution is brushed lightly over your face and left to set and that’s when the magic happens. Its main purpose above all else is to remove old and dead skin cells to let new ones grow. There are different intensities of chemical peels from light procedures, which just remove the top layer of your skin, to deep chemical peels which affect a few layers of your skin and are a lot more expensive and slightly more complicated. A deep chemical peel is primarily used for people wanting to get rid of shallow scar tissue because it penetrates a few layers of the skin and gets rid of all the damaged skin cells which grouped together cause scars to look the way they do.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Depending on what you’re wanting to treat and what your budget is, you may want to opt for a middle option of <a href="https://www.plasticsurgery.org/cosmetic-procedures/chemical-peel/medium#content">a medium chemical peel</a> that’s perfect for smoothing out wrinkles and minimising or stopping acne. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though a deep chemical peel may sound like a good idea to give yourself the ultimate skin cleansing pamper, it can leave you with red and swollen skin for a while before new skin grows again. When having a deep chemical peel, the skin can stay red for up to three months and it is recommended that makeup is not worn during the healing time. </div>

Chemical peels can cost from around £60-£100 dependent on
the area you live in and which of the three chemical peels you choose to have
done. Always consult the practitioner about the price before agreeing to the
procedure.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
One thing is for certain when choosing to go for a chemical
peel; choose a professional, clean and experienced place. Choosing a
professional means minimising the risk of infection (this increases if you opt
for a deep chemical peel). Make sure whoever you go to has a lot of experience
and has completed all <a href="https://www.cosmeticatrainingcourses.co.uk/chemical-peel.html">the right
courses and training required to perform chemical peels.</a><o:p></o:p></div>

I'm finally back to blogging, I've been taking some time away from blogging to settle into my new job and also for just a bit of self-care, however, I really wanted to get this post up as I'm in love with this product. It was also meant to be up a long time ago, as I was meant to review it alongside <a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2017/10/review-ordinary-alpha-arbutin-2-ha.html">The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA</a>, so I'm really slacking! By now we know what The Ordinary is about, but if you're not sure they focus on quality key ingredients without the expensive price tag, but more info can be found by reading <a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2017/06/review-deceim-ordinary-niacinamide-10.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.pulldownthemoon.co.uk/2017/10/review-ordinary-alpha-arbutin-2-ha.html">here</a>.<br />

<a href="http://theordinary.com/product/rdn-alpha-lipoic-acid-5pct-30ml"> The Ordinary Alpha Lipoic Acid 5% - £5.90 for 30ml</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Ordinary says ‘Alpha Lipoic Acid is a highly potent antioxidant and can restore a renewed skin appearance, improving visible skin texture and tone when applied topically.’ Written on the bottle and the packaging is that it helps with brightening and helps to target the signs of ageing. I’m personally a sucker for anything that claims to help with brightening because I always feel that my skin is so dull. I also knew that I was missing an antioxidant in my skincare routine and wanted to try one so opted for this cost-effective option.<br />
<br />
Alpha lipoic acid is great because it is fat and water soluble, meaning that it can work through various layers of the skin and be absorbed quicker. It’s a powerful acid that can help stimulate your skin cells and also works as an anti-inflammatory.<br />
<br />
The Ordinary’s Alpha Lipoic Acid is designed to tackle:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Dull complexion</li>
<li>Uneven skin and tone</li>
<li>Signs of ageing </li>
</ul>
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<i>Propanediol, Thioctic Acid.</i><br />
<br />
The ingredients list is totally minimal which is why you’re left with a highly concentrated product.<br />

<br />
The product comes in a glass bottle and a dropper. The liquid is this pale-yellow colour but nothing too horrifying. The smell is chemical, it’s not a good smell but it’s not completely bad either, it certainly hasn’t been fragranced to smell nice but once it’s on the skin the smell disappears after 5 seconds.<br />
<br />
At 5% this product is <b><u>extremely concentrated</u></b> (any higher and you’re at risk of burning) so it’s advised you <b>only use this 2-3 times a week</b>. I started off using it 2 times and week and for the first week, upon application, this product did sting and burn slightly. This is perfectly normal when using something strong and new but it went away after a minute. I apply 2-3 drops and use that on my face and neck, honestly, I’m scared to use more. When you apply this it actually feels quite oily but after a minute or two this sinks in and you can’t feel it on your skin anymore.<br />
<br />
I only apply this at night and the instructions for the product are to avoid direct sunlight after using this, so night is best. <b>I always use an SPF anyway, but if you decided to purchase this make sure you do, otherwise you’ll burn your face off </b>(not quite, but you get my drift). After 2-3 months I went up to use this 3 times a week and my current routine now is Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Saturday. It works perfectly for me and gives my skin the break it needs.<br />

<h3>
Results</h3>
I LOVE this product. I purchased it at the same time as the Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and we know I wasn’t a fan of that but this product, however…it is a strong favourite of mine. Certainly approaching skin hero status, I just want to finish the bottle before I make up my mind. But yes, the bottle is still going strong for something that I purchased at the end of March this year. This is obviously helped by the fact that you’re not using it every day but I’d still say this was great value for money as 2-3 times a week is still a considerable amount of product.<br />
<br />
This product has helped with my complexion a lot, I always used to complain about how dull my skin was but this skin has made those complaints redundant. My skin isn’t the brightest it could be (I still need to eat the right foods) but it certainly is benefitting from the antioxidant and exfoliating benefits of this product. This product is also so easy to use and no faff. I put this on after I’ve spritzed my face with my La Roche Pozay Serozinc, and if I’m being good I let it sink in for 30mins before putting anything else on top, otherwise, it’s 5mins and then I slap whatever on top and go to bed. The product does absorb into your skin after 2-3 minutes though so you never need to worry that it will take a long time. I think this product works so well because of the high concentration and for me personally, I like that I don’t have to use it every day.<br />
<br />
I personally haven’t noticed a difference in my skin tone using this product but I haven’t been watching that closely for it and it’s not what I want from the product. Personally I know evening out my skin tone/texture is gonna happen with a dermatologist so I am working on that. But in the meantime this dinky bottle is a great addition to my routine and is helping me out so much. I no longer feel like my skin is grim and dingy, honestly it does feel refreshed and the day after my skin just looks brighter.<br />
<br />
So a definite yes from me on this product and with the price I can say I’ll be using it for a long long time. Have you tried this product?<br />

<br />
Outfit is kind of the hardest part because it’s the thing that people first notice when you walk into the room. You can either show up wearing something that vaguely resembles a potato sack and makes you look like a shapeless mess, or you can walk those sexy legs of yours in something cute. Don’t worry though, you don’t really need to sacrifice comfort to look good, high heels are entirely optional.<br />
<br />
What you can do is get your sexiest, darkest skinny jeans, a simple dark shirt, and a black leather jacket. Where does the glam come in? Easy – over-the-knee boots, slim belt, and gold, rose gold, or silver jewellery. A pair of hoops, a ring, maybe a slim bracelet. There: sleek, polished, and cool.<br />
<br />
Want something a little flashier? No problem, how does a bodycon dress sound? <a href="http://the-wardrobe-stylist.com/2017/10/29/stylish-clothes-for-women/">Something stylish</a> that hugs your curves, and then that same leather jacket, or a blazer over it. Heels, tall boots, and ankle boots work great or even chucks if your dress has more of a sporty cut. But a cute headband in your hair and you’re done.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Skincare for a natural radiance</h2>
<div>
Before your big event, indulge in a nice little <a href="http://skincare%20and%20%20beauty%20ritual/">skincare and beauty ritual</a>: wash and exfoliate your face with a good scrub, dab some soothing rose water on it with a cotton pad, and then put on a sheet mask. It can all be done in under half an hour and it’s the perfect way to make your skin look smooth and bright and to remove signs of weariness.<br />
<br /></div>
<h2>
Makeup for a dose of sexy</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSgIZPxgF41ZnlTQ_bEYCAEF3dS-PcNv-NHVfj14vdUqwxwFXB3mbXSQxGWIwjZH8qZk9sx-tv9aRSWki3vMp7mJ9iVR-yi8T0Lurdc6YXXY11QUHtpRy_LZPyeVqFMX2pU70AotXhji1/s1600/caroline-veronez-165944.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSgIZPxgF41ZnlTQ_bEYCAEF3dS-PcNv-NHVfj14vdUqwxwFXB3mbXSQxGWIwjZH8qZk9sx-tv9aRSWki3vMp7mJ9iVR-yi8T0Lurdc6YXXY11QUHtpRy_LZPyeVqFMX2pU70AotXhji1/s640/caroline-veronez-165944.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
We know, we know, makeup can be complicated if you don’t have the required skills like all those beauty gurus who are able to create masterpieces with a few swishes of their eyeshadow brush. Well, you don’t need elaborate makeup to look great. Pick a foundation with a dewy finish and apply it with a dampened beauty blender.</div>
<br />
Once you have your base down, it’s easy to work. A dab of brown in your crease and some mascara will give your eyes beautiful depth in under a minute, and you definitely don’t want to forget <a href="https://napoleonperdis.com/aus/makeup/cheek/blush.html">a nice powder blush</a> in peachy or coral tones to give yourself that natural-looking flush. Use a highlighter on your cheekbones for a glam glow if you like, and then the last step if lipstick. Red and berry shades are appropriately festive, especially since dark lipstick tends to make you look like you have put in an effort even though it takes about two minutes to apply.<br />

Go big or go home, girl. Wild curls are very in this year, but you don’t actually have to go to a stylist to get that sexy mane of hair. Overnight heatless curls can easily be accomplished by doing rag rolls, and you can check out <a href="https://www.xojane.com/beauty/rag-roll-tutorial"><span style="color: #1155cc;">this tutorial</span></a> to see what you’ll need.</div>

French attitude </h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even if you show up somewhere in your pyjamas, just give a lazy grin and act like it’s what you intended to do all along. Success rests in attitude, and that effortlessly French chic glamour can be accomplished by smirking knowingly. You’re gorgeous and you know it. Your hair is tousled, your mascara slightly smudged, your outfit casual. And yet you look like the most interesting person in the room because you’re confident, <a href="http://www.frommanilawithloveblog.com/2017/10/a-busy-womans-guide-to-looking.html"><span style="color: #1155cc;">mesmerizing</span></a>, you’re irresistible.

Don’t forget to have a good time! Nothing looks quite as attractive as someone who’s laughing and enjoying themselves, so don’t fuss much about your outfit and simply have fun. <o:p></o:p></div>

We ended up taking the ferry to another part of Amsterdam and I cannot for the life of me remember where it was but we stumbled across the coolest place ever! This huge massive crane that was being used as a pop-up shop for Skrillex, a hotel and as a bungee jump location. The place was holding a dance event for a couple of days in Amsterdam and they had the DJ's practising their bungee jumping because at the end of their sets on the night they would actually have to bungee jump - how fucking crazy.<br />
<br />
We were able to go up to a certain level, which was just before the hotel so we got to speak to some of the DJs and take some pictures.<br />

We then ended up sitting by the water and it was so peaceful. I still remember how it felt, it was just so quiet here and it was so nice to know that just a couple of ft away was all these exciting things. The area was also just filled with people chilling out and it was just lovely - it really felt like the best place in the world, I'm not sure I can even put it into words. I just felt such a great sense of tranquility and balance. I'm so glad we discovered this place :) </div>

The museum was such a sobering experience and you get to find out so many more things that you're ever told. You can't take pictures there which I think is incredibly respectful but also allows you to give the exhibition your full attention. It's crazy to be in the room where Anne and her family lived with other people, the room was just so small. The one thing that stuck with me was hearing her Dad say (after reading her diary) "you never really know your children at all." I'm a firm believer that you never really know people at all because we don't know ourselves all that well, but it was such a sad thing to hear from him after all he'd been through. I didn't get the chance to go to the museum last time I was in Amsterdam and I'm SO glad I was able to do it this time.<br />

After the museum, we headed to dinner at <a href="http://www.jacksondubois.com/en/">Jackson Dubois</a>. The place had the loveliest interior although the food was just okay. One lovely thing was watching how relaxed the Dutch are, I did a fair bit of people watching here! </div>

We had a couple of drinks before heading back to the hotel. The next day we had breakfast around the corner at a place called <a href="http://teds-place.nl/">Teds</a> before going back to the hotel to pack and then catch our flight. Again it was so interesting to people watch there, I feel like the Dutch are so entirely different and just so relaxed.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Amsterdam was such a lovely trip and I'd love to visit the rest of The Netherlands even if it's nothing like Amsterdam. I'm already itching to have something booked in for next year! </span><br />

Day 2 of my time in Amsterdam, I really wanted to combine day 2 and 3 but there are just so many pictures that I didn't feel okay with spamming my one post with them! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were in Amsterdam when the red sun was all over England but it seemed it hit Amsterdam the next day and it was also super chilly. Whereas we were fortunate with the weather the day before, Tuesday was cold because there was so much wind - however that didn't stop us going out to explore. </div>

So, after a few more pictures on the terrace, we headed out for brunch! The night before involved too many beers for my friend and I'm morning lounge about type of person, so we probably didn't leave the hotel until about 11. We took a lovely walk to <a href="http://www.bakersandroasters.com/">Bakers & Roasters</a> and had the best brunch ever, well one of the best, I've eaten way too many good brunches this year but this is up there! The one thing I loved is that they had creamy mushrooms - mmm! We had a wonderful waitress who told us that she'd gone back to Manchester after spending a while in Amsterdam and then came back to Amsterdam perm pretty much straight away because she loved it so much!<br />

After devouring our breakfast and getting our energy back we wandered over to the Rijksmuseum but only to the free bit, neither of us are into art but we did stop to snap pictures of the building because it's absolutely beautiful! We drove past it the night before and it's even more stunning in the dark.<br />

We then headed a bit further out of Amsterdam as I had a chakra cleansing appointment. My friend had this done and before the holiday I'd been feeling all out of sorts, and looked up getting it done and really with the time I had left I could only get in done in Amsterdam so I decided to try it out. I found a healing place online and went over to get some healing done! I can't say it changed my life but look at the pictures we managed to get from her building - the view was SO lovely!<br />

We headed back to our hotel to rest after that and to get ready for dinner, we chose <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g188590-d10145720-Reviews-Indonesian_Kitchen-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html">Indonesian Kitchen</a> and I would recommend this to everyone! It was such an intimate dinner and such a lovely experience. The restaurant is super tiny and feels really authentic, although I've never been to Indonesia so I have no idea if it is. The staff were <b>so</b> nice, I have never experienced service like it, they were super attentive and kind. When we walked in it was very full but then thinned out as we finished our dinner. If you visit Amsterdam please visit here to just experience the vibe - the food is delicious too and all proper Indonesian food! I had a friend from Indonesia message me on Instagram, when I posted what I thought was a spring roll, asking if it was an Indonesian meal called loempia and it was. It's similar to a spring roll but it's not, either way, super frikkin tasty.<br />

After our lovely dinner we had a couple more drinks at <a href="http://beertemple.nl/">Beer Temple</a> and then came back to enjoy the view on the terrace and get an early night as the night before was quite late. My next post will be the last day in Amsterdam - sad times :(<br />
