Recipe: The Insanity Burger

I think it’s safe to say that if you’ve read my blog before, you’ll know that I’m a bit of a burger fan. Ok, not just a bit, I am basically obsessed.

So when I flicked through the Jamie Oliver ‘Comfort Foods’ cook book and saw something called the ‘Insanity Burger’ you can imagine my excitement. I mentally flicked through my calendar to work out when I would next be able to attempt the Insanity Burger, contemplating whether I could cancel any of my dinner plans just to stay at home and make it (ok, I’m kidding, but I just wanted to demonstrate my sheer excitement).

Thoughtful Thursday: A ban on Whatsapp?

I'm ashamed to admit it, but often I find out the latest news and scandals from my social media feeds. This week was no exception, and to my horror I was browsing my Facebook news feed yesterday lunchtime, and came across an article that someone had 'shared' suggesting that David Cameron is proposing a ban on smart phone apps such as Whatsapp, Imessage, Snapchat and Facetime. Sorry, what?

Prague: Part One

Every year my group of friends from Uni take a trip together around Christmas time. Unfortunately in previous years the timing has never worked out for me, but in 2014 I was determined to go. And instead of doing the usual UK staycation, we decided on Prague. 

The Thursday evening we boarded a Whizz Air flight (don't EVER do it, trust me) after Kumayl arrived late and brought a bag double the size of the one allowed for hand luggage, and Shamil nearly lost his iphone 6. Good start. 

Skin Saviour: Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

My skin has been a little lacklustre lately.

I blame it on the cold weather which has finally arrived in London, and which appears to be staying for the foreseeable future (boo). Cold weather always makes my skin much dryer (it's already incredibly dry) and I genuinely feel as soon as I put some moisturizer on my face, my skin rejoices and drinks it up faster than I can down a shot in Infernos.

Charlotte Tilbury: Dolce Vita

Charlotte Tilbury has got to be the one counter that I have to visit every time I go to the Selfridges beauty hall. I'm like a moth to a flame. The girls on the counter are stunning (and their make up is beautiful, most importantly) and the displays and products just scream luxury. Unfortunately, so does the price tag.

 

However, I was lucky enough to have been gifted a Selfridges voucher for my birthday, and I knew immediately I had to buy something from CT. The only question was what.

Likya

My Mum's company have recently opened up a new pharmacy in Golders Green, and recently they had an event where high end make up products were heavily discounted (more on those at a later date). We went along to the event after work, and then had to find somewhere to grab a bite to eat having spent ALL our money at the pharmacy (we were like children in a sweet shop).

Smack Lobster

 When I heard that a sister restaurant to the infamous Burger and Lobster was opening up in London I planned my trip faster than you can say lobster.
