Mini Fashion, Beauty, Haircare Haul

So this week my Mum and I went down to Norwich and since Norwich is one of my favourite places to shop I couldn't resist picking up a few things.
Here is what I got:



To start I got this New York City tank top from River Island. I will be in this all summer next year but until then, I will be piecing this with layers!


I then picked up this simple black t-shirt as I realised I didn't have one. It's such a basic piece to have in your wardrobe and can be worn many ways. When I started imaging all the outfits I could wear using this, I had to pick it up!



Since dying my hair last year it is in need for some TLC, so after an informative chat with one of the ladies in Lush, I bought the Seanik Shampoo bar which has sea salt and seaweed in for 'soft, shiny hair' which is exactly what I am after. Later on I picked up Tresemme's Keratin Smooth Deep Treatment Masque, to be used once a week when your hair needs a refresher. 



Finally I picked up 4 MAC eyeshadows (the last four on the bottom row) to complete my palette. I got Swiss Chocolate, Sumptuous Olive, Club and Contrast to add a little colour to my palette. I was a very happy girl when I placed the shadows in and saw my palette complete, I know it's sad, don't judge!

John Newman - Tribute Tour

Last night my family and close family friends had the pleasure of seeing John Newman live on his Tribute Tour. John has such an amazing voice and the performance skills to go with it. From dancing, (yep he has some serious moves), to making the audience sing and clap along, he makes sure you are involved and having a great time throughout the whole concert. I had such an amazing night and highly recommend going to see him live.
Here are some photos from last night:

Forgans Restaurant - St Andrews

Last night my family had a meal out at Forgans in St Andrews. I have never had the pleasure to eat in there but as soon as I walked in I really hoped the food was as good as the restaurant looked! The food definitely met my expectation and all four members of my family thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Forgans has a rustic looking interior and has a relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend Forgans to everyone as in my opinion I think everyone would love it.


Forgans is situated in a little alleyway, which is beautifully decorated, coming off Market Street, St Andrews



Now...look inside. I bet you love the interior as much as I do!






The menu has a choice of many delightful dishes and I'm sure everybody will be able to find something to their taste. Here is what my Dad and I ordered


My Beef Bourguignon ie. a fancy beef stew with wine, carrots, mushroom and other wintery vegatables. It was lovely


My Dad's Rib eye steak with onion rings and chips. My Dad had his steak cooked rare and when I asked him if if he enjoyed it he replied with 'Oh, beautiful.'


My Dad's Chocolate Cup dessert


My Macaroon Cheesecake
I have a VERY sweet tooth and desserts are my favourite thing in a meal. This dessert was perfection for me. It was light, creamy and I may or may not now be craving it!

Forgans is a beautiful, elegant restaurant with food to match! I'm sure my family will be returning the next time we have the chance to go out for a meal. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for somewhere for a treat or special occasion. Now I will just get back to day dreaming about that Macaroon Cheesecake.
