On Sunday me and Sean went to Cadbury World in Bournville with my family. I'd been before years and years ago and I was really looking forward to taking Sean as he had never been. I love our days out and I just wanted to show you guys a few pictures from our fun day trip!
Beanville can be found by taking a go on the Cadabra ride

We basically spent the day eating free chocolate, learning where it comes from and being shown how its made. There's loads of fun bits like the Cadabra ride and having your photo taken in front of a green screen.
As you can see me and Sean took full advantage of the the green screen and ended up with the last photo! I'm sure I used to get a lot more free chocolate when I visited back in the early 2000's however, but I can't complain, I'm just sad because I absolutely LOVE Cadburys chocolate!

Of Course we had to have a photo in front of the green screen! Who knew we would be so good at riding chocolate waves?!
Cadbury World is amazing and I would advise anyone, chocolate lover or not, to take a trip. Now I'm quite lucky and Cadbury world is literally a 10 minute drive from my house but it's definitely worth going even if you don't live in the Midlands! It's a great day out for families, and couples alike and they even do deals on tickets if you're lucky!
Have you ever been to Cadbury World in Birmingham? Did you love it?

It's that time of the month again - time for a round up of my favourite things. This month I'm going to be talking about Jewelry, Makeup, and general beauty products!
So here are my favourite things this month...
Elephant earrings from Topshop // Red Collection 2000 Lipstick
Favorite piece of jewelry : Elephants earrings from Topshop. If you read my blog you will know how much I love elephants! When I saw these little beauts in the Topshop sale for £2.50 I knew they had to be mine! I've worn these almost every day I've had them and I don't think i'll stop loving them anytime soon.
Favorite makeup item : Collection 2000 #1 Prohibition. I had been looking for a new darker lipstick for a while and I saw this gorgeous colour in Superdrug for £3.99. The photo makes this shade look a lot brighter but it's actually a fairly deep pinky/red. It's a lovely colour and it was a good price so that's why it's my favorite.
Glitter nail varnish from Technic // Mango hand cream from L'Occitane
Favorite beauty product : L'Occitane Mango flower hand cream. I had this bought for me for Christmas and I love it. It smells beautiful and sorts out my dry hands. As I've said before, I suffer with very dry skin and I'm always looking for things that help and although it could be better, nothing beats how this smells!
Favorite Nail varnish : Technic 'mad Alice'. I wore this nail varnish for New Years and loved it so much I've worn it a few times since. It was only 99p and you know I love a good bargain!
So those were some of my favourite things from this month!
What have you been loving lately?

Just a snippet of my amazing year
I've decided to enter the 'Moments that mattered' competition to win an Ipad mini. I saw the competition over at awaywiththefairiesblog.com and wanted to show you guys the moments that mattered to me the most in 2013.
By far the most important thing to me this year was all my holidays and spending time with the people closest to me. This year I went to Paris for the first time and it was completely amazing. I did all the general touristy things like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Along with a day trip to Paris I also spent a couple of days in Disneyland - the happiest place on earth!
I also went to Kavos for a week long girls holiday. We basically just got drunk and sunbathed but it was so so fun and I can't wait for this years girls trip! Though hopefully we won't flood the bathroom in the next hotel!
Me and Sean went away on our first ever holiday this year too. We went to sunny Spain for a week of relaxing and all inclusive food! We spent a day in the gorgeous city of Barcelona (which we navigated all by ourselves!) and watched some of the best cabaret acts I've ever seen. It was just such a lovely week.
In October I also managed to get a couple of days off work to go to Cornwall. Me, Sean, Mom and Dad booked a last minute holiday to Newquay and had a fabulous time. I'd never been before but I wasn't disappointed. We also got to spend a day in the beautiful town of St Ives which is my favorite place in the UK.
So Those were the Moments that mattered to me most in 2013, what are yours?
Thanks for reading!

So I'm a bit late with the New Year resolutions but here they are anyway...
Inside Park Guell in Barcelona - I hope I can travel more this year!
Get organised!
This year I'm really going to get my head down and sort things out. I'm going to clear my desk and organise everything. I'm going to put so much more effort into this blog and everything else I do. I really want to make this year a good year for me and I'm going to do it by using a date diary and keeping on top of everything.
Get my camera fixed!
I've been meaning to do this for months now. I mean how can I be a proper blogger without a good camera? Its been broken since May and it's time to get it sorted. I will get the money together and my camera will be saved!
Get healthy!
Notice this says healthy not thin. I'm fairly happy with my weight and being skinny looks like way too much work, but I do need to eat better. I've been eating really badly lately and that needs to change. I'm going to start eating better and exercising regularly and hopefully I'll start feeling better!
Travel more!
Okay I go on a lot of holidays but I still want to see more of the world. Nothing makes me happier than spending time in a different place and I need to do that a lot more this year. I'm going to write a list of all the places I want to go to and make sure I actually go!
Blog more!
I love blogging but I don't post as much as I should. I'm going to designate more time to writing posts and taking photos and just really put a lot more time in than I do. I love my blog and I want it to be the best it can be!
Save money!
It's so hard to save when there is so much I want to do. I always end up buying little things and make it harder to save for the bigger things I want. This year I need to stop. I'm going to save for driving lessons, holidays, and of course my camera. I will start driving this year!
And that's it! Hopefully I can stick to all that and achieve my goals. These are things I really want to do so I'm going to put a lot of effort in to doing them.
What are your New Year's resolutions/goals for the future?
The Soap And Glory Scrub Of Your Life - RRP £7 for 200ml
This is out of a gift set I got for Christmas. I generally like Soap and Glory products so when I received a whole gift set I was a very happy girl. I had never tried the Scrub Of Your Life before though, so I was excited to try something new.
I suffer with fairly dry skin so I'm constantly trying out all sorts of things to smooth it out and I thought this might help. I followed the instructions and scrubbed away at my arms and legs in the shower. I love the feeling of using exfoliating face wash and this scrub is fairly similar. It seemed to scrub away at my dead skin pretty easily and it also smells unreal.
After moisturizing I felt my skin and although it was a lot smoother I don't think it was that much better than using bog standard exfoliating gloves. Although the product was average I did love the feel and the scent on my skin.
I would give the Soap And Glory Scrub Of Your Life - 7/10
Have you tried the Scrub Of Your Life before? Let me know what you thought!
Thanks for reading!
