Fun Hygiene with Carex + Giveaway

Last week I received a little pack of goodies in the post from the team at Carex who are getting involved in a campaign created by the World Health Organisation. On Thursday 5th May the World Health Organisation are hosting Clean Your Hands Day to promote the importance of hand hygiene and infection prevention. As Carex are constantly expanding their range it seemed like the perfect occasion to try out some of their newer products.

Style Diary | Zara Spring Fashion

As you'll know by now, I'm not very good at sticking to my own no-spend rules. So, when I went for a wander around town after work last week and spotted some bits in Zara, I couldn't help but try them on - and we all know there's no going back after that. I picked up some staple spring/summer items that I wanted to share them with you. Plus, I met up with a new photographer, Matt, and it was the perfect opportunity to shoot a little outfit post.

Cheeky | Holborn

Last week I was lucky enough to spend the day at Cheeky in Holborn as part of an event we were holding at work. I took my camera along, originally to take some pictures for our website, but as they came out really well and I had a great experience there, I'm sharing them with you.

Epernay Champagne Bar | Leeds

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to Épernay Champagne Bar in the centre of Leeds, along with a few other bloggers, to try out the new summer cocktail menu. I'm a huge cocktail fan and am always on the hunt for new places to try, so I was really excited when I received an invite to a bar I hadn't visited before.

Ladies Day at the Races

I'm a huge fan of going to the races whether it's taking a picnic for a day out with my family or, in more recent years, dressing up and spending time with friends. When I was contacted by Natasha at Branded3, to see if I wanted to take part in the Ladbrokes Grand National Ladies Day competition I decided it was worth a shot. I love the excitement of getting ready and being able to wear something you'd never otherwise get a chance to wear. Plus, it's an added bonus to be in with the chance of winning two hospitality package tickets to the Grand National.
