Beauty | Violet Voss Holy Grail Pallet

Recently I purchased a new eyeshadow pallet. I'm a very much die hard fan of the Urban Decay Naked pallets however, I thought I'd be brave and branch out. After much consideration, reading numerous reviews and watching makeup tutorials on youtube I went for the Violet Voss Holy Grail pallet. What a choice it was, I am obsessing over it!

Ennerdale, Lake District

Recently myself and James went on another adventure. This time we set off for the Lake District. We had booked a small campsite in Ennerdale. When James said 'Ennerdale' for the first time I honestly thought he had said Emmerdale. Que me going 'eh??? we're going to Emmerdale?' close, but not quite.

Lifestyle | New Years Resolutions 2017

A New Year which means new goals and resolutions. I thought this year I'd write mine down somewhere so that I actually stick to them!

Silvas Capitalis, Kielder Forest

Myself and my friends have had a few stressful weeks at work with progress reports, observations and the Christmas nativity! So we thought we'd de-stress with a scenic winter walk. About an hour and a half from Sunderland is Keilder Reservoir.

Hadrians Tipi, Newcastle

Just outside of Central Station in Newcastle is a festive pop up bar called Hadrian's Tipi.

Riley's Fish Shack

A stone throw away from Sunderland is a little town called Tynemouth. Hidden away in King Edwards bay, is a fish bar called Riley's Fish Shack. Converted from two shipping containers Riley's Fish Shack serves amazing locally sourced food.

Lifestyle | Wartime Tea at Katies Garden

I feel like a giant muffin the amount of cake and scones I've eaten lately. But this place trumps them all. I've been wanting to try Katies Garden for a while now and what better excuse than to celebrate, one of my good uni friends getting their first teaching post! Congratulations Natalie!
