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.

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!

Graduation Day!

It's been another busy week! I graduated on Monday, had an interview on Tuesday, got a job offer on Wednesday, went on a spontaneous camping trip to visit my brother and his girlfriend until Friday, met up with some old college friends Friday night and then have been getting the flat ready for Alex's return from New York over the weekend! Phew, I feel tired just writing that! I want to tell you all about my graduation in this post, but a quick update first!

Firstly, I am lucky enough to say that last Wednesday I was offered a job and now will be starting my career this Wednesday! I'll be working at Mindshare, a media agency based in London, as an Account Executive. I'm super excited and can't thank everyone enough for being so supportive throughout my time at university, since finishing and through interviews and everything! I feel super lucky to have found a job within the industry I studied and doing something that I know I will really enjoy :)

Also, my blog hit 75 followers today! That might seem like a small achievement to some, but to me it is huge and I can not be grateful enough to everyone that takes the time to read this and follow my rambling! If you head up to my giveaway page you will find that once I hit 100 followers I am going to start a giveaway for a set of personalised handmade jar tea light holders :) Just a little thank you to everyone that follows!

Ok, enough side notes! Back to graduation! To me, your graduation ceremony is a day that marks all the hard work you have done and all the achievements you have made during your time at university. It is a day to share with family and friends and will be treasured for the rest of your life. I think it's important to mark such a special occasion and ensure you are feeling your best, so I want to share a few things that I did to make my own day memorable to me.

Review: East Street

A few weeks back I visited East Street, a pan Asian restaurant in London, to catch up with a few of Alex's university friends. I love going to places that our friends recommend and taking their advice as to what to order, it's a great way of discovering new places. Imagine if each one of your friends recommended one restaurant to you, you'd have loads more places to eat! Plus you know that your friends will be honest with you, so it's gonna be good!
