Happy Valentine's

I have a little secret to share. I wrote this over the Valentine's weekend! As with a lot of things I blame this on my mother, for as long as I can remember she used to bounce into my bedroom on Valentine's Day with 'Happy Valentine's day, and now it's time to get up to celebrate the day'. This was my first experience as a little girl to St Valentine's. As I grew older Valentine's seemed to be more for couples showing their love by sending flowers, cards, balloons and saucy lingerie! and for all unintentional purposes to make single people feel intensely jealous that they're alone.
Valentine's day for me is about loving a person, family, friend, lover, husband or wife. So don't overcompensate for just one day, show love every day all year round with no need for extra expense. Commercialism, I am not a fan! So this us what I'm doing this year, having a lie in, pjs on , relaxing and I'm changing the rules this year. I'm buying him flowers, because men too deserve flowers #happyvalentines whatever you decide to do and wherever you are 💞😘

Reagan was patient as she explained the various products she was using on me. I tend to stick with the same brand and am always nervous about trying out something new. Now, I can honestly say that I tend to stick with that particular brand after I have found what works for me and am reluctant to try new products, especially foundations. This experience gave me opportunity to see and feel what the products they looked like on my skin without feeling ob...

Uptown Girl

Uptown Girl If you were to ask me where to go for a cocktail in Belfast, my first choice would have to be The Merchant Hotel, Waring Street Belfast.  I have been going to The Merchant ever since it first opened in 2007. I remember our first visit to The Great Room (2AA Rosettes), where we dined out from the very decadent a la carte menu.  There was a strict dress code at that time, men were not allowed in jeans, shorts or trainers, ladies also had o be suitably attired.  There was a sign posted on entry advising diners not to use their mobile phones to allow for complete intimacy to savour the delicious food.   The dress code is pretty relaxed now and the food is just as excellent as the first visit and there is a choice of different affordable menu options. For me going to the Merchant is an excuse to dress up because they have a knack of making you feel so special. M personal favourite is enjoying either an Apéritifs  or Digestifs in the cocktail...
