In an age where anyone can do pretty much anything to enhance themselves, it’s only natural that you’d want to look your best. Of course there are those that sit well planted in the “grow old gracefully” camp and all credit to them, but I’m who heartedly glamping in the “I want as much help as I can get” camp.

On Sunday, myself and the boy’s family managed to enjoy one of our favourite past times, chilling in the sun at the polo. We’re members of Guards Polo and whilst the season starts in April, I’m very much a fair weather supporter and so often this means that I don’t enjoy my first match until June, making the season feel rather short! When we arrived, we checked ourselves into the Club House for a spot of lunch and champagne before heading out to enjoy the ponies up close.

When I started my own blog, there was always one monthly review I'd eagerly await for from my favourite bloggers.
Beauty box reviews were, and still are, everywhere. I signed up to a few different boxes and each month I was either really impressed, or really disappointed, resulting in a few subscription cancellations. I stuck with a couple of favourites, and those are still my favourite beauty boxes now. Through subscribing to beauty boxes, I started finding other monthly boxes available in the UK and came across everything from food to lifestyle and drink related monthly subscription services available.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Vodafone to help some European influencers experience a variety of things for the first time as part of their #first campaign over at www.firsts.com. Getting to act as Santa to many, wasn’t such a hard task! We made a variety of different experiences happen across Germany, Spain and Italy including canyoning (yikes), sailing, opera and wild horse riding. We chose an adventurous bunch! One of our favourite #first experiences came from German blogger “Frollein Liebelei” who is currently off travelling in Bali – alright for some! She used this campaign as the perfect opportunity to whiten her knuckles and chose to go rafting! Having been rafting for the first time earlier this year and vowing never to do it again, we have the upmost respect for Julia.
