Hey Guys!!

It was a very busy week, what with Chloes' Birthday party on the weekend so it felt like I was here, there and everywhere. I did manage to pamper myself the one evening with a nice face mask, which I really need to re-order, and a hot bubble bath. Otherwise I had a hair appointment, colouring my hair, baking and trying new make up looks, it was mental!!

Hope you enjoy this little round up!!

See You Soon!! 

New Hair

Hey Guys!!

If you follow me on Instagram you will have already seen my new hair cut and colour, but for a while now I had been debating on whether to have my hair cut short again or just have a trim, I have also been debating on what colour I want my hair. I am a very fussy person when it comes to my hair and I'm very indecisive as to what to do.

So on Tuesday we went to my Nans' and I decided to have it cut short. My hairdresser thought I was crazy as it was rather long beforehand.

After

I absolutely love the length now and I'm going to find it so much easier to maintain for days off work and even for days I'm in work.

As I said above I was also wondering what colour I'd like to go as I wanted to go grey/silver but my hairdresser said because of how dark my hair is it would take a lot of work and would possibly ruin my hair. Of course I don't want to ruin my hair so have opted to go lighter especially as the summer shall be arriving soon. I have gone a light brown for now and then gradually hoping to go lighter to the point of being blonde.

I seriously am in love with my hair now, the length is just perfect and I love the colour as it is nice and light, perfect for summer. I think this little hair overhaul was indeed needed as I haven't had my hair done since possibly before my wedding and that was 3 years ago!! 

Hope you enjoyed this little hair update!!

See You Soon!!

The Jungle Book

Hey Guys!!

You might already know this but I am a huge Disney fan and of course when I heard that they were making a live action version of The Jungle Book, I had to see it.

So last Tuesday me and the other half went to the cinema in Friars Walk to see it. I won't say to much but I am sure you all know the story of Mowgli but it was an absolutely fantastic film.

I loved every minute of it and apart from a few little changes the story was exactly the same and I loved the fact that it was (I am very picky when it comes to re-makes). I do think some parts might be a bit dark or scary for children but I think they would love it also. Definitely a 5/5 from me!!

What did you think of it if you have seen it?

See You Soon!!

I haven't been up to to much, the cinema, a beach trip and dog sitting the cutest dog ever. Have also been enjoying my last week with long hair as I am having the chop tomorrow, then having it coloured as I want a new fresh look.

Planet Vikki Recommends: The Ship, Barry

Hey Guys!!

I haven't done a Planet Vikki Recommends in such a while so thought I would do one for you today. I must admit I haven't really gone anywhere new for a while either so was nice trying somewhere new.

A few Sundays back me and the husband decided to go for a little walk and to have some food, trying to think of somewhere to go we decided Barry as we haven't been in ages and its somewhere different. Llewellyn knew of a restaurant called The Ship and we decided to eat in there.

It was so cosy in there and was pretty busy as there was a Birthday gathering in there when we went. It's quite spacious when it comes to the way the tables are set up so you're not on top of everyone else eating which is nice. The booth we sat in also had a little tv, which you can see in the picture above, not that there was any volume and that we wanted to watch it.

To be honest it took me ages to decide on what to eat as I can be quite fussy and I wanted to try something different, usually I say that then have the same. I did know what dessert I was going to have though!!

I ended up having a Korma as I absolutely love it and haven't had a curry in ages. It was beautiful, I didn't eat it all as it came with chips, onion bahjis, naan bread, poppadoms, mint dip and mango chutney. What was really good was that the curry had actually a decent amount of chicken in as a few places I have been to haven't really had a lot of chicken in them.

I then had for a dessert a Salted Caramel Chocolate cake, now I am obsessed with salted caramel and if it's on the menu I will eat it. To be honest though I wasn't to impressed, for me I didn't think the caramel had a strong enough taste compared to the chocolate. I know you have to have the right balance as you don't want the caramel to overwhelm the rest of the dessert, I just like a strong caramel.

After our food then we took a lovely little stroll along the beach and watched the gorgeous sunset. We can be a romantic couple sometimes!

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Let me know in the comments if there are any restaurants you love that I could try!!

See You Soon!!

Hey Guys!!

I am back from my little break and I am glad to be getting the creative juices flowing so to speak. I wasn't having the greatest of times just before I took the break but have now turned that around and I'm happier than ever. I have done quite a bit the past few weeks, like going for walks, going bowling and the cinema. I have also started a Bullet Journal and must say I have never been more organised in my life! I may do a post on it in the future, if that is something you would like to see. Anyway I am back and keep your eyes peeled for some lovely posts coming your way this month.

Top L-R A beautiful sunset at Barry Island, Our little walk down Barry Island, Finally washed my make-up brushes

Bottom L-R My favourite place to be is looking out at the water in the Wetlands, Had a lovely little picnic then took a walk to the little lighthouse, Found my Disney ears and favourite sunglasses.

See You Soon!! 

April Break

Hey Guys!!

As you may have seen I have kind of neglected my blog the past few weeks. I have kind of taken a bit of an impromptu break as I felt like everything was getting on top of me the past few weeks. I also had to get a new laptop, which is why I am able to post today, because my old one completely conked out :( Luckily can still play Sims on it still.

I will be continuing this break up until the end of April so that I can relax and then I will be coming back swinging with amazing posts of things I have got up to during this break. I also have a lot of things planned over the next few months that I can't wait to share with you.

Chloe's Birthday Party

Lukas Graham in Birmingham

Swansea

Bristol Zoo

Chester Zoo

Monkeyworld

Porthcawl

All these things are only up until August so there are a lot of exciting things happening this year. Just bare with me while I take this little break and get back into the swing of things.

Thank you for understanding!!

See You Soon!!
