The Perfume Edit

I wear perfume every day as I cannot get enough of the many scents I have on my shelf. I've got about 20 different perfumes on the go right now, but these three are the ones I always go back to time and time again.

I've got a variety of cheap samples, 'higher end' products, a bunch you can get in drugstores, and a few from Primark!

Primark Gold - £8

Zoella Lets Spritz - £8

Hollister Wave For Her (100ml) - £33

I've been using Primark Gold for about 2 years now, and sadly they no longer stock this it seems - but luckily at Christmas, I bought 2 more large bottles, so that should last me for about another year or so! It's my fave one to use, so I'm sad it's no longer about.

Zoella's Lets Spritz is a lovely summer scent that I normally use on holidays - or when I want to be reminded of summertime during winter! It's a nice cheap scent as well, so I don't feel so bad using copious amounts of it at a time!

Finally, Hollister Wave* is a new fave from Christmas. I was kindly sent this by Debenhams to use in a Christmas gift guide! It came in a set with a body lotion which I used very quickly! This scent is amazing, and with it being £33, it's the more expensive end of the perfumes I own. But it's so worth it as it smells amazing and one I recommend.

What are your fave scents and how many do you own? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Beacon Beefeater, Dartford*

About 8 weeks ago, I was contacted by the lovely Chris from the Beefeater restaurant Head Office, about reviewing their newly refurbished Beacon Beefeater in Dartord. I am a food lover, which should be obvious from the size of me!

Thankfully I was able to say yes, as I was going to be in the area for a shopping trip with Nicola at the end of May, and Chris was kind enough to wait that long for me to visit and review, so thank you! I'm down south in Kent, so about 30 or so minutes away from Dartford, which is on the way home from Lakeside, so that's where we headed to dinner!

'The restaurant, located at, Halcrow Avenue, Dartford has undergone a stunning makeover to create a light and welcoming environment for guests. The venue boasts a fresh look inside and out, with booth seating now available for larger groups. With comfort and style a priority for Beefeater, visitors can now enjoy the modern interior and relax in the new-look bar.

The menu is packed with a wide range of favourites, including tender steaks, mouth-watering burgers and fresh salads. Guests can also tuck into Beer-Battered Cod & Chips, Smothered Chicken and the Beefeater Mixed Grill, each prepared with care and presented with flare.

Beefeater prides itself on affordable quality with not-to-be-missed deals and offers. Steak and chips is up for grabs from just £11.29 with a Daytime Menu also available between Monday and Saturday before 6.30pm.'

My dinner was amazing, and Nicola and I, both enjoyed the atmosphere there and the food! The staff were all really nice and attentive. We were served super quickly - albeit a 15 minutes wait for the bill - but was overall a lovely place to eat, and another Beefeater I can now add to my list of places to go!

If you're in the Dartord area, or want to eat after a day of shopping at Lakeside, this is the perfect place to! Are you a Beefeater fan? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Monthly Favourites #25 - May

Another month is over already! Where is 2017 going?? So much of my month has been spent at work, but I've got a few days off this week, so going to try and have fun with it. Now it's time to dive into my faves of the month!

Song

This song has been a firm fave since I saw Guardians Vol 2! I've got the soundtrack and love all of the songs - they're constantly on in my car - but this one has such a good retro vibe to it! Yes it's a new original song for the film, but it's done in such a great style that I'm obsessed with it!

Picture

My favourite picture from this month is this one from my trip to Lakeside with Nicola last week! We're just done a mass try on of Ann Summers swimwear so took a quick snap once we were both decent again! Had a great day out!

TV Show
I am obsessed with the #OneChicago franchise, and I'm super sad that Chicago Justice has been cancelled after only one season! However, it's flagship show, Chicago Fire has just had the most awesome finale this season - and HOLY SMOKE. There are 5 main cast members in peril in a factory fire and we have no idea who will come out - although from the looks of things, lovely Mouch died from a heart attack in the final minutes. But this is something I hope I misinterpreted and he doesn't! The finale was amazing, can't wait for fall now!

Movie
I adored this movie! This has very quickly risen up into my top 3 fave all time films. The story, soundtrack and characters were all amazing like the first movie, but there was something about this that just made me want to watch it over and over. I loved baby Groot more than I can say, and the ending. OMG THE ENDING. I saw the midnight screening and 90% of the cinema were in tears at the ending.

No bullet journal section this month as I've not taken an pictures of it for a while! Hope you enjoyed these faves for May! What have you loved this month from each category? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe!
