5 Things to Do in London Bridge

Hey Guys,

Today's post is going to be another one based in my home city, London. I love sharing my London adventures with you and hope to inspire someone's visit! I have previously written about Covent Garden, Afternoon Tea on a London Bus, Self-drive boating and more!

I often find myself gravitating towards London Bridge and the Southbank when choosing places to hang out in London. I have put together this list of activities for those of you who are perhaps staying in a London Bridge hotel and want to find some local things to do and see. Also for you Londoners who are looking for a new area to explore!

New in Homeware at TK Maxx

Hey Guys,

Today's post is all about my recent trip to the brand-spanking new TK Maxx store on London's Oxford Street. I was kindly invited to explore the store and pick up a few items to show you! I am a huge homeware lover, shopping for home accessories at least a couple times a month. I especially enjoy picking up affordable items, and have even started a dedicated Instagram account for my finds!

TK Maxx is the perfect destination for great brands and products but for up to 60% less than the RRP price. I've been shopping here for years and keep coming back as the stock is constantly being replenished with new brands and products every week. So nothing is the same from one visit to another. I also love the selection of seasonal homeware at TK Maxx. They are well known for having an amazing selection at Halloween and Christmas, especially. 

A Cosy Stay at Point a. Kensington

Hey Guys,

Last week, I was kindly invited to stay with Point a. Hotels for the second time! My last stay was at the Shoreditch branch, in East London. This time, it was the brand new Kensington Olympia hotel that I would be staying in. 

Set just a short walk from Earls Court underground station, Point a. Kensington is a small, boutique-esque hotel with a typical "Kensington" facade. As with all Point a. branches, this hotel is friendly and affordable.

25hours Hotel, Paris

Hey Guys,

Today, I am letting you into Paris' best kept secret - the incredible 25hours Hotel, Terminus Nord! I was kindly invited by the press team at 25 Hours, to stay for two days in Paris with my partner. The experience was wonderful and I have nothing but praise for this quirky hotel, situated directly on the doorstep of the Eurostar terminal.

We arrived around midday on a Tuesday afternoon. The Eurostar was affordable and convenient, taking us right from the centre of London, to the front door of our Hotel! We were able to check in straight away, despite arriving earlier than our check-in time and after being whisked up to the second floor via the top-to-bottom, gold mirrored elevator, we arrived at room 226 - our Parisian home.

An Instagram Guide to...Paris!

Hey Guys,

Today's post is yet another edition of my "Instagram Guide to..." series. In the past, i have covered Portsmouth, Southampton, Covent Garden, Los Angeles and England! I recently got back from a wonderful Parisian adventure with my partner. He was such a trooper and doubled as my Paris date and photographer (I took some cute pics of him too!) 

Enjoy getting to know the ins and outs of some of the BEST must-see locations in Paris and take some inspo for pictures for your own trip! Stay tuned til the end for an additional list of places I wish we had time to visit, but did not. Unfortunately, we only stayed for two nights, so had to squeeze everything into three days, for which, I think we did pretty well!

Laser Hair Removal with Pulse Light Clinic

Hey Guys,

This week's post is a little different to my usual blog posts, however, I am excited to share this experience with you. Consider this our friendship initiation - I spill intimate details about me, whilst you listen?... 

This summer, I was invited by the team at Pulse Light Clinic, to choose a treatment to undergo as part of a complimentary press gift. After considering many of their treatments such as coolsculpting and chemical peels, I decided I would opt for laser hair removal. Pulse Light offer a variety of packages for different areas such as the legs, underarms and bikini line. I am currently on the 3rd treatment of my bikini line laser hair removal to help combat ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal is one of the best ways to target your ingrown hairs. My bikini line was something I've always been super aware of. I love spa days and beach days and feeling confident in front of my partner, so this seemed like the best decision for me. 

I know that body hair and body hair removal is extremely personal to each individual. I am someone who will usually shave my legs, armpits and bikini line. For the most part, my body reacts fine to shaving or hair removal cream, however my bikini line tends to become red and irritated due to the ingrown hairs. So not only will this treatment be cosmetically beneficial for me, but also medically.
