#LincsBlogMeet – The goodies!

July 4, 2014

  You may have noticed in my first Lincoln Blog Meet post I held back from talking about the goodie bags, and this is because they are so overwhelming they deserved a post all of there own!  Amy and Bel did such a great job working with the brands and of course the brands themselves were so generous!  So without further adieu, lets get stuck in! First of all I got this beautiful scarf from Scarlett fashion, it's light, colourful and so soft!  I've never owned a scarf like this and I READ the POST

London Gay Pride 2014

July 1, 2014

source This Saturday marked the 3rd year I have volunteered for London Pride, my first year I was parade steward, last year I was part of the stage team at Leicester Square and this time I went back to parade steward, as this is by far my favourite part.  It's a long hard day, you deal with some rude and angry people but for the most part it's great.  You get the best view of the parade, get to work with lovely people, most of the public are fantastic and you get to dance, clap, make noise READ the POST

#LincsBlogMeet – The Event

June 27, 2014

Source So last weekend I did something that has been on my to do list for a while, but I wasn't sure I would ever have the nerve to do, attend my first blog meet! It was in my university city of Lincoln and was hosted by one of my best friends Amy and Bee.  It was such an amazing day, I've defiantly got the blog meet bug!  We met at Lincoln train station before being split into groups and sent on a picture hunt!  Here are our pictures (go team red!) courtesy of Siobhan and Nat We READ the POST

Join my Postcard Swap

June 26, 2014

This is an idea shamelessly stolen from Lauren of The Emerald Dove, she is moving away to university soon and suggested a postcard swap as a fun idea to brighten up the walls in her new university accommodation.  Similarly my work walls are looking pretty bare so I thought this was a great way to brighten up my days at work! The concept is pretty strait forward, just drop me an email at shystrangemanic@gmail.com or leave me a comment with your email, then send me something a READ the POST

Quickmax eyelash enhancer review

June 24, 2014

  My eyelashes are the bane of my existence!  Ok, that might be a little extreme but they are really annoying!  They're really short and strait and you can't even tell they are there!.  I actually stopped wearing mascara because it was pointless.  Even the holy grail that is Benefit's They're Real couldn't deliver the goods, sure they looked better but it still wasn't enough for my disastrous lashes.  So of course when given the opportunity to try an eyelash enhancing serum I wasn't READ the POST

Booking a food tour with Get Your Guide is quickly becoming a staple of my trips!  I love that I can get so many local foods tried as well as learning about the history and culture and the food is always excellent.  It’s especially great when I’m doing a city break and short on time!  Let me know your Italian faves!
