Zoella Beauty - Exciting new beauty

Ahh the beauty event we've all been waiting for - well if you are a youtube & blogger addict like me, its ZOELLA BEAUTY.

Since 2009 when I started watching the then Zoella280390 I knew I loved her and her videos, I remember some of her very first videos that I still love now, with a few of them being in my favourites playlist. I think I can safely say on behalf of everyone that blogs, youtubes or is just a Zoe Sugg subscriber that this beauty launch is not only exceptionally lovely but it has a special significance, as for many of us Zoe was on of the first youtubers we watched, igniting our love for all things youtube and beauty. I find Zoe such a huge inspiration, she has such a great career doing something she loves doing, and so many of us (6 million to be precise) love watching and reading Zoella. She brings such happiness to so many people, a true role model.

On September the 25th Zoe held a launch party for her Zoella Beauty range, I knew there would be a whole loads of vlogs going up on the 26th September giving us a insight into the party and the range itself, I am not going to beat around the bush I was frantically (maybe a little dramatic, but I was very excitedly) refreshing my subscription box on youtube waiting for the vlogs, trust me they were worth the wait.

The products launched on the 25th September online at Feelunique.com and 29th in Superdrug stores nationwide. I am so glad that Zoe brought out a bath and body range, every girl (or boy) needs some pampering time, nothing can make you feel more relaxed after a manic Monday than a hot bath filled and followed with lovely products, it can turn anyone's day around. I had a mooch around on the feelunique site, as you can imagine all the products are incredibly cute, fun and yet still remain sophisticated, so both adults and young'uns can enjoy them. I adore the lovely coral colour that runs throughout the range. The Fizz Bar caught my eye more than anything because like Zoe I am a massive bath person, I love nothing more than a good pampering bath.

Later in the week after the products launched and me drooling over the products, one of my best friends Jess surprised me with some goodies from Zoe's beauty range. She kindly got me the Zoe's eyes makeup bag/pencil case and my favourite thing from the range, the Fizz Bar Bath Fizzers.

I could't wait to use the products, as soon as I got home a re housed all of my favourite makeup items into my new makeup bag. I started to run a bath, as I was going out in the evening, to make me feel extra special I used the Fizz Bar. 

I run a nice hot bath, I poured little but of bubble bath, following that I broke off two squares of the beautiful smelling bar, then dropping them into the bath. I adore the concept of the Fizz Bar looking like a chocolate bar. The smell is so simply refreshing, yet girly and uplifting, perfect for a bath before a girls night out. 

All in all I absolutely love the Zoella Beauty line from what I have tried so far, now I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the line, next up will definitely be the Lets Glow Candle and The Blissful Mist. 

You can purchase the Zoella Beauty Range in selected Superdrug stores and online at Feelunique.com

On a side note... 

I was working away when I saw the Zoella YouTube advert on the TV in the Reception, How exciting, its like watching the Christmas Coca Cola advert! 

Until next time...

We all went down to the woods today..

Hello my lovelies,

Due to my boyfriend turning 25 (the wrong side of 30 as he calls it) we gathered the team and we ventured out into the English countryside for 5 relaxing days of long walks, log fires and all things nature!

After doing lots of research we decided, to stay in tree house in Sherwood Forrest just like Robin Hood, due to Robin Hood being the boys favourite tale. We booked our tree house through Forrest Holidays, there was 9 of us in total so we decided on the luxury Golden Oak Tree House for the duration of our stay. The main cabin sleeps 8, with a small yet beautiful tree house attached that sleeps the extra 2 people.

The main cabin was everything the website said it would be. Log fires and hot tubs galore. Also opting for the full entertainment package, meant we could get lots of films, sky sports for the boys and some great music channels so we could dance the night away. Along with all of that the package also included unlimited wifi for the entire stay, we did have a few teething problems with the wifi but we did sort this out in the end, after a few visits to the Forrest Retreat, the onsite shop/reception helpdesk/cafe/bar.
We had a fully functional kitchen with everything we could possibly need, pots, pans and even baking trays. This came in very handy as we decided to do a come dine with me type of week, with 4 couples hosting their own dinner parties each night.

Although the cabin was amazing, set in the most beautiful Forrest, the real gem of the week was mine and the boys mini tree house.  It was across a rickety bridge along from the main cabin. Upon entering the tree house we had our own little hall way area, to the left was a gorgeous en-suite. However the main attraction was the bed room, with all off set walls, the windows and pictures were wonky, giving it a magical storybook feeling, I felt like I was in the Shire (for all you Hobbit fans out there). The pictures on the wall above the bed in middle were all Alice in Wonderland themed, which is one of my favourite stories. At every turn and behind every cupboard there was a surprise, behind one of the wardrobe doors there was a hidden dressing table built in, behind another were robes and slippers for us both, along with luxury towels. I am trying to explain how gorgeous this place really is but I am not doing it much justice I will let the pictures speak for me...

Myself & The Boy

Our rubber ducky friend that let us know the hot tub was clean and ready to use.

All in all we had an amazing autumnal getaway in Sherwood Forrest, I certainly had the best time with some of my best friends. I can safely speak for all of us we would highly recommend Forrest Holidays to anyone looking to experience the true English country side, or even have your own come dine with me week with your best friends.
