A Luxurious Take on the Mallorcan Getaway

No Comments

Having never been to Palma de Mallorca before, I was pretty excited to be going to the south of Spain with my girls for 6 whole days. I am huge fan of the Spanish lifestyle, its weather, food and friendly locals are my kind of getaway and Palma did not let me down, so I wanted to share my experience and some top tips. Mallorca is one of Spain’s Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. It’s known for beach resorts, sheltered coves, limestone mountains and Roman and Moorish remains. Capital Palma has nightlife, the Moorish Almudaina royal palace and 13th-century Santa María Cathedral. It’s a beautiful island, and has a really laid back vibe. We spent half of our trip in the centre and the other half on an epic yacht! Apart from being so much fun, the yacht gave us a chance to see the island from another view, and…

Sqixi the new place for influencers

No Comments

Recently I have started seeing the name “Sqixi” more and more and decided to do a little bit of research. Sqixi has been built to enable influencers to create more engaging content, build bugger audience and importantly share in all revenue generated by their followings on Sqixi. All you need to do is to announce this on your platforms like Instagram and ask your followers to download Sqixi and follow you. It is very simple. So what is Sqixi, let me explain it a little bit further. Sqixi is like an online magazine, where all the platforms are connected. You see all the images in full size, with all the full details, lighting etc. So it is visually very very pleasing. Just like Instagram there is a culture of hashtags, and you can search with using words. You can post articles on it, and due to the nature of the…

Understanding My Body Better

No Comments

I’ve suffered from PMS since I can remember, seriously the most horrible time of the month for women, I naively thought. I could also see the similar symptoms among my friends, which made it normal to suffer? Throughout the years I used various apps to track my periods but little did I know that PMS is all related to our hormones and that if we could understand it better, we can tackle it better too! Then I found AVA bracelet and it transformed my life. So, what makes the Ava Bracelet different than others? You can use Ava bracelet for 3 different reasons (which I will mention below), however, mine was to understand my body better by tracking my cycles. Unlike the apps we tend to use, Ava bracelet checks the important parameters during night (skin temperature, resting pulse rate, breathing rate, HRV ratio, and the amount of sleep you…

‘Tis the season to be festive!

No Comments

London is incredibly pretty and sparkly this Christmas. So I wanted to make it even more special and memorable this year, and experience a fine dining during festive season. While I was checking restaurants at Bookatable, I have come across this amazing offer: free champagne! I was actually surprised to see how many restaurants there are with this offer and how easy Booktable made it for us to see the restaurants with this offer! You can have a look at the restaurants here. It probably took me couple of hours to to choose though, as there are just too many restaurants that I am looking forward to visit, but in the end having heard great reviews about this specific restaurant, we decided to go ahead with Ormer Restaurant. Shaun Rankin has opened the restaurant, who has received a Michelin star in 2005 for his first restaurant. He held this for…

Afternoon Tea at Sketch

No Comments

Christmas time in London is very special, but I think this year London has outdone itself. I’ve never seen this city as Christmassy, it’s almost all the restaurants and stores decorated themselves making sure they are all ready for the sparkliest time of the year. Sketch is one of the most well-known restaurants in London, not only because of the quality of its cuisine but also because its gorgeous decor and of course famous egg shaped toilets. This year, however, they took one step further and redecorated their famous toilets for Christmas. Having seen this all over social media, and wanting to check out their Afternoon Tea for a very long time, I decided to visit the gorgeous pink room, aka The Gallery, and see what’s it all about! David Shrigley’s mind blowing art pieces decorates the walls of the famous pink room, hence the name. Once you step in,…

New York State of Mind

No Comments

I was so beyond the moon when I heard that The Blogger Programme is taking us to New York! Having studied there couple of years ago, I had nothing but good memories there and couldn’t wait to add even better ones! On the day of our travel, we met at the lounge of United Airlines in Heathrow, once I see my influencer family, I already knew it was going to be an incredible trip! United airlines’ lounge was actually great, and some of us had already started drinking mimosas! I remember looking at the amount of food choices and getting even hungrier. And considering we had a 7 hour flight, meant that I could eat as much as I want! Once we got on the plane, we found that me and Massiel were actually sitting next to each other. I wasn’t feeling tired at all and knowing she can never sleep…

4 Easy Ways to Achieve Your Skin Goals

No Comments

Of course there are many organic and “non-organic” ways of achieving a glowing skin. The below article is just couple of easy ways that I know and do to achieve a younger looking, glowing skin. Healthy Eating – Eat your greens, kids! Because you become what you eat, and if you want to glow from within this has to be through the food you eat. Here in the UK, people mostly just pay attention to what it says on the food label and could easily eat a microwaveable soup if it is 2 of your five a day. What they don’t realise is while they are heating that soup in that plastic, they are consuming all the chemicals as well, also I don’t even want to talk about the sugar and sodium inside those already made food options. Hence, don’t just check the label. Cook it at home, and buy…

A Balanced Jetlag Diet

No Comments

How do I keep a balanced and healthy lifestyle? Being a blogger and almost every month travelling to another country, flying 10-12 hours a month, may look good on insta, but is horrible for the health & skin.While doing my job, the most frequently asked question I get is. How do I keep my glow and still look youthful. The answer is below: Healthy eating Luckily we millennials are very lucky. We have access to healthy food wherever/ (almost) which ever country we go. The thing is: it’s not the abundance of it, the habitual factors are what stop us. That’s why from a very early age, I unplugged the “oh I’m so sad” and “food can make me feel happier”relevancy in my brain. Yes of course I eat bad stuff, we all do. But it’s always controlled. I love my body and want to keep it healthy. Being healthy…

Afternoon Tea at Bermondsey Square Hotel

No Comments

Afternoon tea in London probably rates quite high on the to-do list of anyone visiting England’s capital. There’s just nothing like the traditional British afternoon tea. . So when I was going to an afternoon tea at Bermondsey Square hotel with my friend, obviously I was over the moon! And I think this has to be some of the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had as we were treated like absolute royalty by the Hotel staff and the tea and cakes really just spoke for themselves…oh and the clotted cream and scones. Yum! We were given a selection of traditional British finger sandwiches, warm plain and fruit scones served with delicious Cornish clotted cream and a selection of rich fruity jams. Completing the afternoon indulgence, the Afternoon Tea was served with a selection of the Chef’s daily home-made cakes. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty. We were licking our fingers at the end,…
