Kat von D Monarch Palette

Kat Von D Monarch Palette 1

I picked this palette up in Sephora back in December and it has rapidly become my every day go-to palette. I can do soft day looks to vampy smokey eyes all from the 12 warm toned shadows.

I really think Kat von D’s make up line doesn’t get enough love. I have a few palettes and lip products now and the quality is just outstanding! I wish it was more readily available in the UK.

DFDS Food Showcase

On a bright Monday morning, I found myself port side at the DFDS Ferry Terminal in North Shields after being promised a day of culinary delight. Sounds good right? Not if you are as scared of boats as I am! Nevertheless, I was wearing my big girl pants and sucked it up, donned my hi vis and set foot aboard the King Seaways.

Running to a daily schedule from Newcastle to Amsterdam, the weekend cruises are infamous in the North East as we are proud to call the route our own. I had reservations before I went as I thought it would be all burgers, chips, lager and pre packed food for the drunken masses.

I was wrong. So very wrong.

Love from Italy…

Love from Italy…

In 2012, we visited Rome in Italy in the mid August high season for Paul’s 30th birthday. We love the Italian way of life, from chic fashion to informal dining and good coffee.

Visiting in the hottest point of the year made sightseeing hard work. Dusty streets and the sheer volume of people had us hunting out quiet bars and piazzas to rest in the shade.

Do Valetines Day differently with Retro Sweet

When it comes to Valentines Day or any other occasion that requires chocolates to be bought, I always feel a bit left out as I don’t particularly like it.

I do however like retro sweets from my childhood and I love it when I find new places to stock up or I am given a 20p mix up! I am easily pleased!

I Love You Sweet Words
