Beauty: Loreal/Dior and Make up brushes Review

Have you ever felt like you have been round and round in circles trying to find a decent primer which isn't to expensive? So here are my initial thoughts on my super finder L'oreal lumi magique primer. The concept of the primer is to give you luminous glowing skin. it comes in a white tube like bottle with rose gold details and pump. what wasn't to like? it was definitely an eye catcher!. the consistency of the product is very very light! and adding 1 to 2 pumps on your buffing brush will go along way. the colour is like a shimmer white equally like the bottle itself funnily enough? not like your average clear primers. but once added on your skin is smooths out any imperfections and gives you the most gorgeous sheen. After adding my primer I would then spray my brush with the Dior Air Flash foundation and blending it into my face. 
(what a transformation) tanned, super glowing flawless skin. They are my must haves of all times!. Another mention i must add is my brushes.. my obsession! it would upset me how much I would spend on buying real techniques brushes.. even though there was no fault to them and they were amazing quality I wanted an alternative too. And I found them! on Amazon, a whole bunch of beautiful soft make up brushes equally as good quality as real techniques
Here are the links below for the Amazon brush sets!

Lifestyle: How to make healthy pancakes

I wanted to create something i truly love which is pancakes. We all love pancakes smothered in chocolate and lots of strawberries!. But having pancakes always made me feel sluggish and reacted with my IBS. so i thought i would make a healthy version of it.. and I was damn right surprised on how yummy it truly was!. Obviously its not going to taste just like pancakes and the texture of it will be different but that will be the same with any alternative healthy recipe. So here is my recipe! why not give it a go and tell me what you think?

Ingredients:
  •  3 ripe bananas
  •  1 cup of oats ( I use gluten free)
  •  1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
  •  2 whole fresh eggs
  •  coconut oil to grease the pan
  •  1 tablespoon of flax seed (optional) 

 Topping ingredients:
  • Buckwud 100% pure maple syrup
  •  4 Strawberrys cut into slices 
  • 1/4 cup of walnuts

Method:slice all your bananas and put them into a mixing bowl mashing them until a smooth consistency. once all smooth add in your 1 cup of oats mixing them all together and throwing your 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon, and flax seed mixing them all together again. once all smooth add your eggs into a cup whisking them and pouring it into the mixing bowl.  once all mixed thoroughly grease your pan and add the mixture in. It should take about 3 minutes or longer on each side depending on how thick you want your pancakes! once there golden brown place them onto your plate and add your toppings! :).

Lifestyle: Greek Wedding

On Friday I headed down to London in the afternoon for the weekend. After a tiring 5 hour drive and many service stops we finally arrived at Theobalds park based in Cheshunt. When i had recently viewed tripadvisor for the reviews on the hotel i was quite unsure what to expect, scared, anxious as most of the reviews were dreadful. But what a surprise the hotel for the price at £25 each for bed and breakfast i could not fault it. The rooms were standard but modern, food was exceptional and the views and the hotel it self was beautiful. As we arrived so late on the Friday we headed down to Enfield to check out where the wedding was going to be held and get some food. a little taverna on the corner of enfields busy market streets was a hidden little gem called 'spitikos' What a fantastic restaurant.. from the food to the bouzouki and the lovely owners that gave us free drinks most of the night. The following day was ovcourse the big day! heading down to the Greek orthodox church and watching the most beautiful ceremony of Andy and Sophia's wedding vows. Later on that day around half 3 we then drove to the venue and what a surprise! it was outstandingly beautiful from the chandeliers to  the beautiful drapes, the bouquet of flowers on each individual table. everything about the venue had so much beautiful detail to it. I must mention the best thing about attending this wedding was not only witnessing such an amazing ceremony but the Greek bouzouki! i loved how all the family and friends would come together and take part in all the traditional Greek dancing.
I cannot wait to be back down in London, such lovely people, and i must mention so many Greeks!, the food, the lifestyle.

What do you guys think is good down in London?, any recommendations where to visit?
p.s Anyone down in London you must visit spitikos ! :)
