✿ STRATFORD UPON AVON ✿

For as long as I can remember Stratford-Upon-Avon has always been one of my favourite places to visit. Of course, all of the historical links to Shakespeare is a huge reason to why I absolutely adore the place - but I always think there is just something so magical about the little town.

I always begin my adventure with scoping around the town centre where I do a bit of light shopping and more than likely grab myself a Starbucks (or two!) and then I set off for the place that interests me the most. I have always loved exploring the Royal Shakespeare Company ever since I once visited to watch Hamlet, searching through all the costumes and merchandise that revolved around one of my favourite plays and I still don't get bored of walking the same hallways, looking at the different costumes they have on display, appreciating the amount of work that goes into one small building. I have always been a theatre nerd, I love the theatre - attending and performing myself, and I've spent so many hours with friends and alone within the walls of the RSC.

My boyfriend and I then ventured further, seeing Shakespearean nods all around, like the boats that lay along the river named after characters from Shakespeare plays (my personal favourite being Bottom)...we walked along the length of the river, through all the trees and small holes until we eventually reached the church where Shakespeare is actually buried - I have only been in there once (its the sort of place that once you see it once, you've seen it all) but we sat down just beside the graveyard (morbid, I know) for a few hours, where we talked about this, that and the other and just enjoyed each others company!

I thought I would include a few photographs from the day out for you all to enjoy and perhaps to entice you if you have never visited before! Thank you for reading...

✿ GARNIER REVIEW ✿

I recently finished my second year of Universtity and I'm finally free for two months - meaning I can do whatever I please to do..though it does mostly consist of travelling back and forth from home to Grimsby to see my boyfriend's family! Despite this, I have decided to up my blogging game and treat you all to a blog post every day in July (exept on Sunday's)

So to kick it all off, I thought I would talk about a few new Garnier products that I bought and have been testing for the last month or so...enjoy!

I  noticed in Boots a few weeks back that Garnier have recently released a "honey" range including four products. I love the scent of honey and I was instantly drawn when I saw them on 3 for 2. Though, I didn't purchase the moisturiser, purely because I have used Garnier moisturisers before and they just haven't agreed with my skin and therefore I thought this time, I would give it a miss!

I start off by using the cleansing milk to take off my make-up (in replacement for my Garnier micellar water)...I just apply it to my dry face and it just removes the majority of my make-up when rinsed off with a wet towel, its so soft and smooth and moisturising for my skin. I've never used a cleansing milk before so I was quite sceptical at first but after trialling it for a few weeks I cannot stop using it!

Once I've washed all the product from my face and I'm left with a very dirty cleansing cloth, so, I then move into the Gel Wash, which foams so well on the skin and feels like it really gets into every pore that the cleansing milk didn't quite reach. Once it's lathered and you wash it all off you're left with silky skin and fresh, open pores.

Finally I use the Toner, which closes off everything and gives my skin almost a new layer for the following day - it's surprisingly very nourishing and leaves you with a nice little shine to your face before you either apply makeup or head off to bed.

I'm not the best with reviews, I haven't really had chance to do many - so hopefully, my month of blog posts will help me progress! Thank you so much to all those who read and I will see you tomorrow!
