Embracing my inner country girl.

Hey ladies! Today's post is more of a lifestyle post than we're used so bare with me as I spend most of it with no makeup & frizzy hair.

This weekend I went back home to Antrim for a reunion of sorts with my girlies from school. It's been about 9 months since we were all together so it was great to catch up. On Saturday a few of us went to the Irish Games Fair at Shane's Castle. It's basically comic-con for farmers, not my sort of thing but we'd heard there would be Archery & burgers so we were up for it.

Once we were there we discovered a food & craft fair where I pretty much lusted after all the things. These bags and purses were too cute but I couldn't justify the spending as I'm still recovering from London. We did partake in quite a few free wine & cider samples, however, and came out quite giggly.

We saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Delorean!

And then we played a few games including Dodgems, Archery & "climb in the abandoned mud-stuck tractor" - that one was not an officially sanctioned game to be honest...

Then on Saturday night we donned our glad rags and hit up our local bar. Nothing quite like reminiscing about the times you snuck in to the club when you were 16 eh? Those were the days!

I've had a lovely weekend and enjoyed being home & embracing my inner country girl but after cleaning the muck off my boots I am glad to be back on concrete ground and in the land of wifi. Someone pass me a mochachino!!

The Ordinary by The Abnormal Beauty Company (or how I dipped my toe in to Deciem)

The Ordinary by the Abnormal Beauty Company ; If you haven't heard about this cult brand yet then you might not know they are hot shit right now and with their parent company, Deciem , being bought up by Estée Lauder they're only going to get bigger. The internet has been a buzz for months now with beauty gurus far and wide raving about these high end products for low end prices. I couldn't believe it myself when I saw that there wasn't a product in the range that cost more than 8.00 quid! So I joined the cult. I have to say that I was really impressed by the counter staff in House Of Fraser Belfast , they were friendly, knowledgeable and able to point me in the direction of the products I needed with just a short chat about my skin. I bought the Hyaluronic Acid 2% and the Niacinimide 10% Serums. If you have no idea what these mean then basically the Hyaluronic is for hydration and, whilst The Ordinary say that Niacinimide combats blemishes, I would actua

Faeriwood Eats: Six By Nico Belfast Review

Nico, surveying his diners Six By Nico . A new concept restaurant for Belfast, and a welcome addition to the cathedral quarter, brought to us from Edinburgh and Glasgow. 6 courses rotating every 6 weeks for only 28.00 and you’re going to want to keep up with them because once they’re gone, they’re gone. With themes such as Vietnamese street food and Parisien cuisine, even a Disney theme being featured in their past menus I am looking forward to seeing what Nico and his team will come up with for Belfast. From talking to them though I found out that their first 3 menus will be inspired by Northern Ireland itself and with some of the best produce in the world and one of the most interesting cultures and histories that will be something to see! First up is their debut menu, inspired by the humble chip shop, The Chippie menu takes the old standards and modernises them to levels you may be more used to seeing in Michelin level restaurants but with a very un-Michelin price poi

Alita: Battle Angel

For all the hype about it's animated lead character, and the clashing of titans that is Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron, Alita: Battle Angel is the teen fantasy movie (potential) franchise you didn't know you were getting and I'm not sure you wanted. Alita starts with Christoph Waltz finding her discarded shell in the trash dump of a mysterious floating city that lords over the world on the ground. He then take her back and, with the help of his *mayaswellbemute* assistant, rebuilds her with a teen shaped mech body he just happens to have lying around and gives her the name of his dead daughter. None of this is supposed to be creepy at all. When Alita, Rosa Salazar, starts to realise that she is not just your typical abandoned teendroid but actually a super slick alien android with secret ninja fighting skills she does what any girl would do... she throws herself at, literally, the first boy she meets and takes up roller derby. Oh but she's also a sassy vi
