Scheduling

Between work, studying and blogging I have very little View Full Post

Instagram is something that I use little and often, there will be a period of days where you will not see me for dust and then other days where I just cannot stop finding things to photograph and want to share with everyone. Some may disagree with the concept of instagram as they may find it unnecessarily intrusive but people only post things on there that they want to share. There are some taboo topics on there but the majority of posts are harmless. Through my blog I have found a number of lovely people to follow and have highlighted five of my favourites below. I hope you enjoy their photos as much as I do and if you have never heard of them then head on over and check out what they have to share. Most have blogs so there are links to those also.

Great right!

Thanks to the lovelies at Penguin and Premier I was given the opportunity to enjoy a night of luxury and pure indulgence at The Ampersand Hotel in South Kensington. From Champagne and Strawberries to a bath filled with sensually fragrant bath salts the mood was set and the time was definitely right to delve into the deep dark lives of Eva & Gideon Cross once again. This event if you have not already figured out was for the launch of Sylvia Day’s next chapter of the Gideon & Eva whirlwind. The hashtag for the night was #CaptivatedByYouSleepover.

Myself and Catherine had a great girly night in whilst reading the awesome book.

 Here are a few pictures to show you how the night went!

FYI: I did not take my big camera with me and there are couple of blurry shots as I had my little camera with no flash – whoops!
Handy blogger tip: TAKE YOUR CAMERA WITH YOU EVERYWHERE AND IF YOU HAVE A COMPACT GET A FLASH!

My review of the book is up now – CHECK IT OUT.

Despite the blurriness you can still see the crisp, modern bathroom that we had the pleasure of using.
Between the two of us we managed to work the bath taps and run a nice ‘warm’ bath!

These delightful smelling bath salts were part of the goody bag we had waiting for us on the bed on arrival.
Unfortunately neither of us managed to open them until the next morning when it was too late.
However on arriving home after work the next day they provided me with paramount relaxation.

All ready to snuggle up and read for the rest of the evening.

What girls night in at a luxurious hotel would be complete without Room Service and another bottle of bubbly.

Catherine got an awesome picture that really captured the fun we had that night – check it out.
