Night out

Two weeks ago I went out and I had to share these pictures with you as my flatmate,amazing Kristina (who is also a make up artist for Lancome ) made my make up!

I was wearing Zara: high waist trousers,MissGuided : bodysuit,Gianvitto Rossi : high heels and fur coat/Clutch : Bottega Venetta

As for the make up Im not sure what brands did she used as I didn’t pay attention however, I do have my favourite foundation on me which is Guerlain.

For the hair I decided to go for a wet look 🙂

Did you say eclairs??

Yes!! What better way to start Tuesday morning that popping into Maitre Choux in South Kensington for a dose of eclair?

The newly opened Maître Choux (maitrechoux.com) is a choux specialist. Located in South Kensington, it’s presided over by Joakim Prat, formerly of Joël Robuchon, who has been working with choux pastry for 15 years.

“Traditionally, éclairs are made using chocolate and coffee flavours,” says Prat. “We add a large range of flavours to a basic pastry product. We try to play with it by adding colour, texture and flavour. From a very simple base you can get a complex product.”

Maitre Choux produces eight éclairs and six choux pastries. Flavours include Tahitian vanilla with pecans, a multi-origin dark chocolate éclair, a pistachio pastry, a Spanish raspberry éclair, and tiramisu and lemon cream flavours (prices vary from £4.90 to £5.20). The lemon cream is “very light and tangy,” says Prat, enthusiastically. “None of the creams are the same — the raspberry flavour is actually more of a mousse.”

THANK YOU LOUIS VUITTON for an amazing experience!

September favourites

Starting this month, I will make a post specially for my monthly favourite products that I would recommend to you as well and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to drop me a comment or send me a msg on my Facebook page.

As you all feel it probably(depending where you are in the world) rain and cold weather is back again.

This time, I thought of making a post of some of my favourite products that I love using in autumn.The products are very basic and its what I use the most.

12002222_10207397077866961_6750747564056477117_n

Face : I love Origins Drink Up Overnight Mask – Its a very good mask that you only apply before bed(its feels like a face cream) and in the morning you wash your face like usual making it hydrated.

Another product that I start using recently its the Elemis Pro collagen cream.Its great during the day and nourishes the skin. 12038424_10207397077386949_1164881926515358893_n

Body : One of the brands I discovered a while back when I was in France,its SanoFlore.Organic and all natural, their products have an amazing smell and the body cream Im using is super rich and hydrates dry skin. 12042730_10207397076986939_4310121110198613723_n

Hair : A must have in cold days and not only, you need to take care of your hair!!I recommend the Kerastase Elixir Ultime mask,which you leave in for 15min then rinse off and you’re hair is amazingly silky and soft.I usually use the mask once a week.

Another favourite is the John Freida Oil Elixir!As I have frizzy hair almost all the time, I make sure I put the oil on dry hair.One pump and everything is under control! 🙂

12009714_10207397076866936_8554845946318392063_n

Perfume and Candle : Tom Ford Velvet Orchid remains my favourite perfume for colder days(I recommend you try the new Tom Ford Noir-smells amazing if you like vanilla).

Candle : As you probably know, I work for Diptyque which is a brand that sells home fragrances therefore, I always have a candle in my room! For colder days my favourite is Amber!

12027530_10207397077466951_8511550535890680098_n

Last but not least, for home decorations I love this bronzy photophore where you can put the candle in,and have the reflection on it. It makes everything so cosy and nice.

My cup of tea

????????????????????????????????????

Today Im going to teach you how to make green tea! I think it’s so refreshing and calming and its good after every meal to help you digest and make you feel better!Either in summer enjoying a refreshing cold mint tea or in winter snuggling in bed with a hot cup, it fits for every season!

I sometimes don’t drink enough water so when I find recipes of tea I try them on and add some flavour to what my body is missing.

I know it maybe sounds easy how to make mint green tea but trust me there’s always a trick that adds a little extra to your flavour!

DIRECTIONS

  1. Boil the water and pour a small amount in the teapot, swishing it around to warm the pot.
  2. Combine the mint and green tea and sugar in the teapot, then fill it with the rest of the hot water.
  3. Let the tea brew for three minutes.
  4. Set out glasses for the tea.
  5. A shot-glass is close to the slender glasses used in Morocco.
  6. Fill just one glass with the tea, then pour it back in the pot.
  7. Repeat.
  8. This helps to dissolve and distribute the sugar.
  9. Pour the tea.
  10. You want a nice foam on the tea so always pour with the teapot a high distance above the glasses.
  11. If you do not have at least a little foam on the top of the first glass, then pour it back into the teapot and try again until the tea starts to foam up nicely.
  12. Garnish with the remaining sprigs of mint.

Dinner date at Burj Al Arab

While I was in Dubai I really wanted to visit the Burj Al Arab hotel.However,if you don’t have restaurant/bar reservations unfortunately you can’t get in,not even to look at the hotel.

Therefore,on one of the nights,my boyfriend wanted to surprise me and he took me for dinner at Burj Al Arab.The restaurant we went to is called Al Mahara, and is 20m underneath the water with spectacular view of a massive aquarium and hundreds of pieces.

The food was excellent, and the hotel is very impressive. burj-al-arab-exterior-hero burj-al-arab-restaurants-al-mahara-04-hero burj-al-arab-restaurants-al-mahara-01-hero burj-al-arab-lobby 11896101_10207316524493177_2197538830978438287_n 11204414_10207316525213195_6825027074682508010_n 12004728_10207316524933188_3532706510041136231_n 12003863_10207322400520074_4357591134198069803_n 12003157_10207322400720079_3560546548925595320_n 12002885_10207322400920084_5939525524884431359_n

Dolphin adventure

Going to Dubai meant one thing for me : swimming with dolphins!I wanted this for so long and it finally happened!My boyfriend made me a surprise and got me the adventure package where I can actually dance and swim with the dolphin.

You can find this experience in the Atlantis hotel where they have different packages to suit all ages and budgets.

Dolphin encounter AED 795 – First is where you get into shallow water and just have contact with the dolphin like kissing and hugging.

Dolphin adventure AED 960 –  is where you get into the deep water(aprox  3 m) and you must be a confident swimmer – you get the chance to experience the fun of  spinning around as the dolphin pushes your hand,take a thrilling belly ride from the centre of the lagoon,connect to your dolphin through deep water hugs, kisses and dancing and find out more about dolphins.

My dolphin name was Hilma and I want to thank her for being so patient with me and giving me an amazing experience!

If you ask me which of the packages is worth it I would definitely say if you know how to swim,go for the adventure one is definitely worth it!After all you don’t do that everyday..
