The best cafes to go to in Madeira.

Hello so a few weeks ago I went on holiday to the pestana Carlton hotel in Madeira and I absolutely loved it. I decided to do a blog about some of the best cafes I went to because google was good for some places but it was quite hard to find some places to try out. I will do one about the restaurants next week.

So the first cafe is called well.com coffee bar and it doesn't look like somewhere I would usually go for but the food is so nice. This cafe mainly sells burgers with traditional bread and traditional chips but I had an omelette which was very nice. There is a lot to choose from here and you can sit outside so it's really nice.

The next cafe is called Barreirnha Bar Cafe. This one has views of the sea when you sit outside and has umbrellas so you don't get too hot. The menu here is really good because you can get sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs paninis etc. I had a vegetarian burger which was very nice and it is quite cheap here too.

Next is A Confeitaria. This cafe is mainly all about the cakes/ dessert. It's so nice I went here twice. They have everything from sausage rolls, sandwiches, traditional Madeiran pastries, cakes, brownies etc. I had sausage rolls, a bueno brownie and a Nutella doughnut which were incredible. This cafe was so cheap too and the staff are nice and helpful. You can also sit out the front.

Finally is Pastelaria e Padaria Momentus which is a cafe at the top of a very steep hill. This is the cheapest out of them all and it has more traditional things therefore not as much choice but it is still really nice. I had a tuna pizza and a bueno brownie. This was only about €5 and you can sit outside too.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Birchbox August 2017.

Hello so today I'm going to be telling you what I got inside this months birchbox.

This is what I got. I really like the box because it looks like a mermaid, the colours are really nice, I like the shiny gold and the boxes are like draws so you can display them and it's really easy to get into them.

The first thing everyone gets inside is a full size spectrum contour brush. You get a choice between two different colours/ designs or you can get a random one. I couldn't decide so I said surprise me. I got this one which looks so nice and it's called glam cam. I love this brush because it's really good for blush, bronzer or contour and it's really soft too.

Next I got a full size LOC eyeshadow stick in the shade out of your shell. This is really nice as a base shade or for the inner corners of your eye.

Then I got a NUXE oil shimmer. You can use this on your face, body or hair and it smells really good. I haven't tried it in my hair but I like it to put on as a highlighter or on your arms to make you look more shimmery.

Next I got a yes to tomatoes detoxifying charcoal paper mask. I haven't had the chance to try this one yet but all you do is put it on your face for 10 minutes and then take it off like a normal face mask.

Finally I got a sugar texturising hair spray. I really like this because you can spray it into wet or dry hair and it makes your hair have a natural wave. My hair is already naturally wavy but it makes it look less frizzy.

Overall I'm really impressed with everything I got in this months birchbox and I would definitely recommend looking into getting one.

Zoella jelly and gelato beauty range.

Hello so the other day when I went shopping I bought some of zoellas new beauty range so I thought I'd do a review of it.

These are the three things I bought. It was 3 for 2 so I got one of them for free.

The first thing I got was the gelat'eau body mist. At first I didn't really like the smell because I thought it smelt a bit like bubble mixture but now I love it. It smells like elderflower so it's really fresh and is nice to spray in your room or on yourself. This was £8 which I think is really good because it stays on all day.

The next thing I got was the shower shake body wash. I love the packaging for this because it looks like an ice cream. This is weird because you can't really see it when you're washing yourself with it but it feels really nice because it also moisturises your skin. This was £6.

The last thing I got was the cream scrub body scrub which was £8. I really like this because it is orange which is one of my favourite colours and it smells good too. This works really well and the smell stays all day.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Random haul.

Hello so today I went shopping and bought a few things so I thought I'd do a blog post about what I got.

So the first thing I got was this white Bardot top from Zara for £5.99. I really like this because it was really cheap and fits really well. Also the material feels really good so I'm looking forward to wearing this.

The next thing I got was purple kinetic sand from the entertainer for £3.20. I've wanted kinetic sand for a while now because I find it really satisfying and I like cutting it with cookie cutters and a knife.

I also got a pack of tools to go with it for £2 from the entertainer so I had more things to do with the sand.

Then I went to boots and got a coconut infusion nail varnish from Barry m in the shade flip flop. I really like the colour orange and this was only £4.99 so I got one.

Finally I got a matte top coat by Barry m for £2.99. I love this because it's just a normal top coat but it makes any nail varnish matte so you don't have to buy matte nail varnishes.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.
