Travelling/ holiday essentials -H

Hi all,
Seeing as Jess and I are going on holiday again, it seemed a fitting time to share my travelling must haves. Here are just a few of the items I simply couldn't travel without:

• Hand wipes, a small packet of hand or face wipes is brilliant for grubby fingers or removing make up.

• Lip balm, my lips suffer dramatically during a flight so a good lip balm is essential

• Neck pillow, this is only really  needed if your a big sleeper like I am 

• Eye mask, again this is a personal must have for sleeping in all environments

• Jumper, a warm and cosy jumper doubles up as a blanket or pillow if need be.

• Snacks to keep energy levels up on long journeys

• Water, no explanation needed staying hydrated is vital

• Ipod, I wouldn't be able to travel without my music to listen to.

Thank you for reading and I hope this will prove useful next time you have to pack a bag!  -H xox

Washington DC -H

Hannah here!

I have finally returned from a weeks trip to Washington DC. I travelled alone and stayed with a relative living in downtown DC. I had the most incredible time sight seeing and exploring Washington on my own. Here are some pictures from my greatest adventure yet...

This is the area I lived in:

I of course captured the iconic view of the monument from the Lincoln memorial:

I took a stroll down constitution avenue:

Then I visited the Thomas Jefferson memorial:

The Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial was simply breathtaking:

Visiting the white house was definitely a highlight for me. I also met the funniest old woman who not only took my picture, but also gave me her opinion on what my best side was and how I should wear my hair. I have found a new bestfriend, sorry Jess.

I simply couldn't leave America without buying the infamous "cronut", a cross between a croissant and a donut can never go wrong in my eyes.

Thank you for reading, Hannah xox

Staying at my sisters

Jess here,

I have two older sisters, one that lives very close, the other lives far away, so I do not usually get to visit one of my sisters however a couple of weeks ago I spent 4 nights at her house and I had such a lovely time so I thought I would share some of the things we did. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

We visited the beach, a country park, the cinema to see 'The Fault in our Stars' and done lots of shopping and playing with my sisters new kitten, Indie. Overall it was a lovely weekend and I just wish I could go there more often,

Thanks for Reading,

Making cakes.

Jess here, 

Yesterday it was my parents 20th wedding anniversary and so I decided to make them a cake, I chose to make a vanilla and chocolate marble cake and not to toot my own horn but it tasted delicious

Here is the recipe I used for the cake: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5557/chocolate-marble-cake 

And for the icing: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/18506/chocolate-fudge-frosting.aspx
This frosting made a big batch and I had to throw most of it away so for this size cake I would recommended halving the recipe.

Once the cake was done we got my parents to stand as though they were at there wedding again and here is the result, 

It was such a simple recipe and it tasted lovely so I would recommend using it, 

Thanks for reading,

Garner Micellar Cleansing Water Mini Review.

Jess here,

I recently purchased the Garner Micellar Cleansing Water, and it is so good that I had to go out and stock up, I really loved this product, I haven't got a clue for sure if it has worked wonders on my skin but every time I use it my face definitely feels hydrated and refreshed. I like to use this morning and night just to refresh my skin and clear out the impurities.
