Happy Pancake Day!

February 17, 2015

Last week saw me attend another fun event down at Debenhams – a Pancake Day celebration! For those who might be reading and don’t know what Pancake Day is all about, it’s also called Shrove Tuesday and marks the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. The idea is to eat plentiful before sacrificing and being more contained during the days before Easter. I am not religious and I don’t have the habit of giving anything up for Lent so I’ll happily scoff down the pancakes, thank you very much.

Upping the Eyebrow game – with Paul & Joe Beauté

January 10, 2015

Before Christmas I attended one of the most interesting events I’ve been to so far, to launch a few new products by Paul & Joe Beauté.

Who hasn’t at least heard of this brand? Between the amazing packaging design they’ve been consistently putting out (remember the cat shaped lipsticks?) and the good quality of their products, it’s no wonder that it’s so popular. This was an unusual event because we had not only the chance to see the new SS15 collection first hand but also saw Paul & Joe‘s Artistic Beauty Director & Global Make-up Artist Craig-Ryan French perform his art and teach us about eyebrow styling.

L’Erbolario – London Launch

January 2, 2015

Around a week before Christmas, I attended the launch of a new beauty brand here in London, more specifically in Islington. The L’Erbolario shop over at 106A Upper Street, is the first in the UK for this well established Italian brand. It is still a fairly unknown name here in England but ask anyone from Italy and they will tell you. That’s what I did and yes, even a guy developer knew about them!

The Power of Summer

July 18, 2014

A couple of days ago I met up with Sarah of The Prosecco Diaries, Jesse of Hecticophilia and Angela of the Awkward Blog for a couple of drinks and a spot of outdoor cinema at the Indytute’s event The Power of Summer. I arrived too late for the film but had a really good time taking some photos around the place and just generally having a laugh with the girls. The movie program can be seen at the Everyman Cinema page, check it out for the upcoming films.

I had never been to that part of town before and it was great to have arrived precisely in the Golden Hour, which was great for some nice photos of the Battersea Power Station. This area is currently being developed, so we will have to wait and see what they do with it. For now, events like these are good fun and a nice way to spend a warm Summer evening. You can come round for drinks, delicious food and music until the 31st of August. See you there!
