Bloggers Hub Meet & Greet

Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to go to the Blogger hub meet & greet in Soho London. The event was hosted in an apartment just off Oxford street. It was an opportunity to meet a mix of bloggers, who were new to blogging and those who had been in blogging for a while to meet and network. The meet and greet was hosted by The Bloggers Hub and Bloggers Who Brunch. I went up on my own to the meet up and I was anxious wether this event would actually be for me. But from the minute I arrived outside and met other bloggers I was totally at ease!

The lovely ladies at The Bloggers Hub and Bloggers Who Brunch went to so much effort to make this event as amazing as it was. There were cupcakes from Lola's Cupcakes with little Bloggers hub labels and glasses of pink prosecco. They also had two ladies from WAH! Nails who were doing manicures. The whole afternoon was spent socialising with other bloggers. It was such a great experience and I'm so glad I went! It was a really great opportunity to meet like minded people.

As someone who keeps on dipping in and out of blogging this event has inspired me so much to stick to blogging. I spent the next day just writing up posts. I definitely plan on going to more blogger meet ups because of this meet up!

You should definitely make sure to go visit these amazing bloggers! You wont be disappointed!

Hotel Chocolat Subscription Box

I love monthly subscription boxes. It's like giving yourself a present every month. You never know what you are going to get with each box. So when I saw that Hotel Chocolat did a monthly subscription box you can imagine my excitement. I mean a monthly subscription box of chocolate? What girl wouldn't like that? 

With the subscription box you have so much choice! You can choose how often you want to receive. The options go from weekly to every 12 weeks. They also offer different types of boxes. So if you don't like nuts or alcohol you can opt to have a box that doesn't contain nuts or alcohol. If you love dark chocolate then they have a box with nothing but dark chocolate. And if you like a little bit of everything they have a box for that too. 



I started off with the 'Everything M' box on a weekly subscription which came with 4 different chocolates to try. Which you got two chocolates per flavour. I didn't want to commit to a big box straight away. 



Overall the whole ordering process was pretty easy. There were only two things that actually I would want to have changed. The first being that you don't actually pay for the box until it's arrived. I personally would have preferred payment when I placed the order because I'm the type of person that gets really nervous that I didn't place the order. Second being that you didn't receive any dispatch email letting you know your box is on its way. Which just would have been nice to know when it was coming. 

Now let's get onto the chocolates? I'm going to start with my least favourite first and finish with my favourite. 



FLORENTINE ISABELLE

The Florentine Isabelle contained almonds which I absolutely can't stand but I gave it a go anyway. I didn't hate it but I just felt that there wasn't anything that made it stand out to me. For this chocolate I have given it one star out of five, 

CARAMEL CHEESECAKE

The Caramel Cheesecake was really nice but if anything just a little bit to sweet. So I dont think it is the type or chocolate you could eat a whole box in one go. One at a time is really enough. I think that this chocolate would be a perfect gift for a dinner party.

PINK CHAMPAGNE TRUFFLE

The Pink Champagne Truffle is very close second place. With a hard outter shell and a creamy centre this really was a luxcurious chocolate. There was a hint of strawberry which only added to the flavour. This truffle is the perfect gift for every chocolate and champagne lover.

DIZZY PRALINE
With every box you can choose a 'superstar' chocolate. Dizzy Praline is my superstar of the box. I love praline chocolate. This chocolate is my favourite by far. It tasted very similar to the green triangle chocolate from quality street but so much better, so much more creamier.

I can't wait to get my next box 💕 would you like to read more chocolate related posts?

Until next time

New in Beauty Drawer

Over the past year makeup has become an obsession for me. Recently I have started to transition over from drugstore makeup into more high end. Ever since I have started working full time I have started purchasing high end alternatives to update my makeup collection with. Today I thought I would share with you my recent purchases over the last three months.

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick // Shade: Love Liberty
This lipstick is very quickly becoming my must have autumnal shade. Its a really nice dark red shade which I think it will go amazing with tartan. Although its not a shade I would wear every day because I think it is too dark to wear to work. However I really love the formula of this lipstick and the rose gold packaging is so beautiful.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pour Couture Lipstick // Shade: 09
The second lipstick I purchased is a dark pink shade. This shade is perfect if you want to wear a darker lipstick but you don't want to go to dark, This is definitely a shade I would wear to work when paired with the right outfit. As we transition from Autumn to Winter I will definitely start wearing to work a lot more.

Bobbi Brown Lipstick // Shade: 22 Sandwash Pink
I purchased this lipstick 3 weeks ago and already its my staple lipstick. The lipstick hasn't left my bag since I wear it everyday single day to work. Its a really nice nude pink shade that actually matches my skin tone. I really like the formula of this lipstick and I don' think that it is too drying.
