Hello Lovelies,
As I have already mentioned, Paul and I spent the day before our wedding anniversary in the spa at Rockliffe Hall, a luxury 5* hotel in Darlington, in fact the North Easts only 5* hotel.
Fed and watered and very happy |

As we live in the wilds of Durham and have a lot of country hobbies, 4×4 driving is pretty par for the course. I own a big 4×4, my Mam has a Land Rover and hub has a 4wd Impreza (surprisingly good in the snow y’know!). When you own your own 4×4, you always know what they CAN do, but when it is your sole mode of transport, always prey you don’t find yourself in a position where you need to wade up to your bonnet or descend a 20 degree hill. This is where the fantastic All Out Adventures comes in. Based in the countryside grounds of Slaley Hall Hotel, a mere 30-40 minute drive from both Newcastle and Durham, you can roll your sleeves up and attack their custom built extreme 4×4 course. And boy did we attack it with flourish.
Hello Lovelies,
After my recent blog post encouraging all my absolutely gorgeous readers to enter the Grosvenor Casino search for a model, I bring you all a new challenge and yet more encouragement to enter!
For the 1st time, Elite Model Look UK have partnered with Capital Shopping Centres as their Official Location Partner, LOOK Magazine and LOOK Beauty to tour key cities in the UK and the Elite London team will be hitting the Metrocentre, Gateshead, on Saturday 12th May.
The prestigious model search launched the careers of modelling royalty including Cindy Crawford, Stephanie Seymour, Gisele Bundchen, Constance Jablonski and more recently model of the moment Nyasha Mathondoze.
The competition will be located in Town Square from 10am-5pm searching the centre for fashion’s new face. All entrants are invited to meet the Elite Model London team, get a makeover courtesy of Look Magazine and Look Beauty, then strike a pose for the cameras. Up to ten chosen applicants will get the chance to take part in a mini-catwalk show alongside actual Elite models at 5pm.
Elite Model Look UK scouts will pick 24 UK finalists, 12 girls and 12 boys who will be whisked off for an intensive week-long model bootcamp. Local guys and girls will go from shopping in the Metrocentre straight into catwalk training, hair and make-up tutorials, health and fitness advice and confidence coaching.
A national finale will take place in July, attended by top UK fashion industry experts and celebrity guests where judges will pick one female and one male winner on the night. The female winner will take part in the Elite Model Look World Final. The male winner will be sent on an all-expenses paid trip to Milan to walk in Men’s Fashion Week with some of the world’s most renowned designers.
Additionally, one lucky female finalist will be chosen to be the face of LOOK Beauty, Look magazine’s new make-up range. The winner’s campaign will feature in Superdrug stores nationwide plus advertising. The girl will also receive an Elite Model contract and editorial spread in Look.
If you can’t make it to the North East casting you can still take part. Go to www.elitemodellook.co.uk for more details.
Right, come on ladies who is going to enter? I want to see hands in the air and your sexy behinds gracing that catwalk, whether it is in the north east or at a venue closer to home!
I will hopefully be there, checking out the backstage action and make overs as they happen so I hope to see some of you there!
Hello Lovelies,
Have you all had a good week? I’ve been busy as usual, no rest for the wicked they say! I’ve taken on a couple of new clients this week so it means i’ll be busier for the short term but it’s all good isn’t it!
Friday saw myself and Kathryn of Miss Kathryns Miss takes being whisked over to be VIP guests of Jacamo at their store launch in Gateshead where we got to meet the ever so lovely Freddie Flintoff and Steve Harmison who are both top notch cricket players. As usual with these kind of events we had a great opportunity to view the store and meet the wonderful staff who work behind the scenes and of course the branch staff who were all so sweet. Of course it wouldn’t have been a trip to a shop without spending some pennies and this time the very lucky Mr Tramp for a bag full of new shirts. Mr Tramp probably isn’t in the Jacamo main demographic but he is long in the body so I am very pleased to be able to buy him M/L shirts in longer length!
Saturday then saw me zooming down the motorway to Middlesbrough with Daniella to visit the girls at the new Benefit counter in Debenhams and be their guest for the day. We had a grand old time with them all, it was a great concession stand and I hope they did well in trying to beat their world record of most waxes done in one day across the whole Benefit company.
Not only did we go on a little car adventure to see Benefit, we were also lucky enough to have our brows tackled. My pathetic blonde eyebrows were waxed, tweezed and dyed to within an inch of their life and after having our make up re-done we left the store feeling like the best looking ladies in the Boro!
Nice quiet week ahead of me thankfully. Just as well as i’m smashing on with my C25K journey and it’s going well!
On with the pictures!
If you missed it this week, I reviewed a Taillissime Blazer, I changed the ways you can follow me, reviewed some lovely Hairtrade Hair Extensions as well as MUA’s fantastic new Lip Booms.
Have a lovely week ahead of you and I will catch you all next Sunday.
