5 essential tips for first time travellers

Travelling is a very exciting time and regardless of where you are going and who you are going with, you are bound to make some excellent memories along the way. If it is your first time travelling, it is only natural not to know what to expect, and inevitably, at the end of your trip you are bound to look back on things that you could have done differently. Below are five essential tips that anyone that is new to travelling should stick to. All of them have been designed to make your trip as stress free and enjoyable as possible. 

1) Take the right bag

living in the moment

Living in the moment. Sounds very simple but I think it is one of the hardest things to do in the world that we live in. Why? We all spend too much time on dwelling on the past, what went wrong or thinking about the future and how we will survive. We are missing out on what is happening right now, right at this moment. 

Una Brennan Salicylic Acid Purifying Cleansing Wash Review

Hello, welcome to another episode of fixing Parie's skin. It has been a constant battle, that includes a lot of crying, healthy eating and the occasional chocolate bar because why not. In today's blog post, I am going to be reviewing the (amazing) Super Facialist by Una Brennan, Salicylic Acid Purifying Cleansing Face Wash. Phew, that was a mouthful. This wash has been my skin saviour the past few weeks and has worked like magic.

Krisp Wishlist

Another fashion post? I'm on a roll. As I keep saying my wardrobe needs a major update, I went shopping at the weekend but nothing seems to either fit or look nice on me. Enter Krisp, an online store that brings you all the latest trends for a affordable price. Sounds a bit like heaven doesn't it? I wanted to buy everything when I went on their site but the bank says noooo. Here is a wishlist of items that I love!

Firmoo Glasses Review

I have worn glasses since I was 8 years old, so a good 10 years now! At first I wasn't really bothered about what they looked like but as time as gone on my glasses have become the most important accessory. I have learnt to love them and that wearing them really isn't a bad thing, it hides my awful bags and means I don't always have to wear eye makeup. In today's post I am talking all about my new glasses from Firmoo. 

Spring into Spring

Spring is finally here and I couldn't be more excited! All the pretty flowers, pastels and of course brighter days and longer nights! It is also time to update my wardrobe, put all the wooly jumpers in a box to hide and bring out the patterned tops and of course dresses. Don't quite think my legs are ready for it though oops. This post is going to be all about my ideal spring outfit featuring gorgeous pieces from Farfetch.com, as part of a competition! I also went for a bit of a theme as well as it been focused on spring, I thought something for a date night with your other half or your best friends! Not too fancy but very glamorous.  

Makeup of the Moment #3

How proud are you all, that I have remembered to do this post for the third time running? If you are new (hello!) this is my makeup of the moment series where I talk about what has been going on my face for the last month of so. If you want to read the previous two, you can catch up here. 

 

Boutique of Molly Naomi Jumper

I love everything from Boutique of Molly and have featured outfits from them several times on here, today is another post featuring something very different yet gorgeous. It is their Namoi Top that has some gorgeous features. 

Coconut Lane Review

Stay focused and extra sparkly, what a great quote to live by. If you are anything like me, you love a good quote and this printed one makes the perfect wall art for your office or bedroom and gives you that little bit of motivation that you need to speed on! This post is a little haul from Coconut Lane, I only picked up two things but both are amazing! 

OLIVIA PALERMO SATIN KISS LIPSTICK TRUFFLE REVIEW

I popped into TK Maxx the other week, not really expecting much. Well, I was on the hunt for Too Faced but no luck :( But I did find this little beauty from Ciaté x Olivia Palermo for under £10.
