Whenever I think about being a tourist, I think about going abroad. I always forget that there is so much to be seen on my own doorstep. This month, I am heading to London to get a new tattoo (eek, exciting!) and I decided to go down a bit earlier to be a bit of a tourist.

Sports Bras For Bigger Boobs With Simply Be
When I look at myself naked, semi-naked or topless (which I probably do at least a couple of times a day), I don’t think “wow you’ve got big boobs”. In fact, I’d say my boobs were pretty average size for my height and weight. (Side note – is there even any way to find out what the average bra size is for your height and weight?) When I was at school, I would even say I had small boobs. I was a B cup, and for a 5′ 9″ girl, that ain’t too big. But as I’ve got older, my boobs have got bigger. Given they’re mostly made of fat, that’s probably in direct correlation to how much I eat (I was a whippet at school) but even now I’ve lost a stone and maintained my exercise regime, my ta-tas have stayed at a strong 32DD / 32E.
A Weekend Treat at Levoi Champagne Nail Bar
Champagne and getting your nails done. Sounds like the perfect combination, right? Well it is! And you can find them both at Levoi Champagne Nail Bar, on St. Mary’s Place in Newcastle.
Beauty: Trying Out e.l.f. Cosmetics
Since vowing this year to start buying only cruelty free cosmetics, I have been hunting high and low for replacements for some of my favourite products and always looking for new brands to add into my collection. I have heard lots about e.l.f. and was dying for a chance to try them out. They are an American brand and I thought you could only get them over there, but you can now get hold of them in the UK from their UK website. They are a great example of a brand that proves cruelty free doesn’t need to be expensive. So is e.l.f. any good?
Tarte – Tarteist Pro To Go Palette
Eye shadow palettes are my weakness, I just love them and I can’t stop buying them! I seem to be able to come up with *any* excuse for getting one. Case in point, I was in beauty mecca Sephora and was really tempted by the Tarte In Bloom palette, but it was $46 and a lot of the darker colours in it didn’t feel very wearable for someone like me, who doesn’t often bother with a smokey eye. However, I just couldn’t walk away without trying some Tarte eyeshadow and my eye soon strayed to the “to go” palettes.
A Long Weekend in San Francisco
Sometimes things just work out REALLY well. And sometimes you find yourself in San Francisco for three days with the sun shining and a sightseeing list as long as your arm. I had never really thought about San Francisco for a holiday before – it is pretty far away from the UK – and if I’m honest, I don’t usually turn to the USA for holiday inspo. I’ve spent a bit of time in New York, but this was my first trip to the West Coast since I was a wee nipper so I thought I’d share what I got up to in the big city in case you ever find yourself over that way.
Are You a Bear or a Lion? Find Out When You Work Best!
Are a night owl? An early bird? Or a permanently exhausted pigeon? Everyone’s seen that meme right? I love it – it is so accurate! I have always felt like I can never get enough sleep, particularly in winter, and I hate early mornings. My family couldn’t quite believe it when I signed up for 6am gym classes, because when I was at school, it wasn’t unusual for me to sleep until after lunchtime on a weekend. So is there ever a time when I am productive?
