Review: Cowshed Spa

I seem to be finding it very difficult to have my full-time job and post at sensible intervals! :( New challenge for myself, I think every Sunday I will try and post something new. Once a week is probably about right and hopefully will get me into a routine :)

Also, exciting news! I am so close to my 100 follower giveaway! This is super exciting for me as this blog was never set up as something that people would read, but rather for me to put my thoughts down and enjoy a little bit of writing. I feel truly blessed that so many people have deemed my blog worthy of following, so thank you everyone :) I reckon my next Sunday I'll be writing my giveaway post, eh? ;) Let's hope so!

So today I wanted to share my experience of going to a Cowshed spa. I'd never heard of them before, but after doing a little research I found that they are a rustic style chain of spas that have locations all around London (see the picture below) as well as some in the USA, Germany and Istanbul. If you live outside of London, they have one in Somerset and one which will soon open in Oxfordshire too. They use their own products at their spas, which are also available to buy in store or on their online shop. Their range is full of "honest, natural and therapeutic plant-based" products that aim to ensure to enjoy a spa like experience even in your own home.

Jewellery Picks

Hello everyone! :)

It's been a little while since my last post, but I've got lots of ideas and material that I need to publish, I just need to get around to writing the posts! This is one that I've been really excited to write!

I'm the sort of person that loves a competition. Especially if they're not too difficult to enter, a quick retweet or hashtag. I especially believe that competitions from smaller companies are really good to enter for both the company and you! Often they are not afraid to give away a really great prize in order to get a bit of publicity & by retweeting/sharing them you are helping them to get noticed, even if you don't win :)

I did exactly that when I retweeted a tweet from This Material Culture, a small company located in Liverpool (UK) that hand make quirky pieces of jewellery. The prize was a super cute cloud necklace & when they told me I'd won I was so happy! Looking through their website there's loads of items that I just love & it got me thinking about cute, quirky jewellery shops that I know of. So here's a few of my favourites!
