Chocolate and Nail Varnish – what more could a girl want

I love Easter. Who doesn’t love Easter?! If there’s chocolate involved I’m happy.

Yet this year, one of this things that really caught my eye is just how beautiful mini eggs are. Yes they taste divine but they are also so pleasing to look at. The colours reflect some of my favourite pastel shades and they almost look like something nature has produced: perfectly shaped pebbles on a beach; something found in the nest of an eastern bluebird (They lay the most beautiful eggs, you should definitely have a google). Once removed from their packaging they don’t scream commercial chocolate and there is no sign that they were ever mass produced in a factory setting. They are like little pearls. I cannot get enough of the little sprinkling of speckles on each and every egg either. So clean cut and beautiful!

Travel beauty secret!

If you read my first ever blog post, “‘About Time’ to make a change” which you can read here you will know that I recently went to Spain. I went with my uni dance society on Tour so we were competing/attending workshops in the day and partying by night! It was non stop to say the least but I had an incredible time with some incredible people.

Anyway, the trip involved a 27 hour coach journey from Leeds to Lloret de Mar. Having experienced this on Tour the previous year I knew it wasn’t something I wished to repeat. So me and a few others decided to fly. We booked our flights feeling extremely smug that we would arrive fresh faced and ready to go! However, we later realised that it would cost an extra £30 to take 15kg worth of luggage. The cost of flying meant that I had already spent more than I wanted so as much as I hated to admit it, we were looking at travelling by hand luggage alone.
