New York, New Yorkkk.

I do apologise for the lack of posts recently, since flying home from New York (which involved a seriously stressful delayed/transferred flight and our luggage being left in America) I've been super busy and was away for the weekend at a Baking Festival (blog post to come!). I'm trying to get my life back in order now, and thought I'd share with you some (actually quite a few, grab a cuppa!) pictures of our holiday. I hope you enjoy being nosey :)

 

The Boating Lake in Central Park.

Breakfast outside the Rockefeller Center. 

Central Park Boating Lake.

Broadway Show TKT Booth. 

Ridiculously yummy Shake Shack lunch.

Lower Manhattan.

My favourite Bakery ever and the best cheesecake. 

Newsies was amazing!

An amazing Hans Christian Anderson sculpture in Central Park. 

New York was incredible. We had such a wonderful time there, and generally really enjoyed just walking around and happening upon new places. Until this weekend Craig has been living in Bangor, North Wales whilst I live down in London so having a few days to just enjoy together was so lovely and something I've sorely missed when being apart from him. It was SO hot whilst we were there, so we spent a few lovely days in Central Park just generally relaxing in the sun. Hello sunburn! We saw Newsies on Broadway, as we're both huge Musical Theatre fans and it was so so good! Its on its way to the West End soon and I'll definitely be seeing it again. We also ate. Like a lot. But I don't think that's a bad thing, especially when it contains my favourite Magnolia Bakery. The Caramelised Pecan Cheesecake I had was to die for. 

I was really sad to leave New York City behind, but I'm sure I'll be back one day soon. :) I hope you enjoyed looking at some of my pictures!

My Travel Make-Up, Skincare and Hair Essentials.

If you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed my increasing excitement at my imminent holiday to New York City this Thursday! Me and my boyfriend are going on our first proper holiday together and I'm literally bubbling over with excitement. :) So in wake of this I thought I'd share with you my essential beauty bits that I'm taking along with me.

Firstly;

Looking at these pictures makes me think I'm taking a lot...but it really is all essential! I promise! ......

So skincare wise I'm taking my:

* Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes * Simple Oil Balancing Facial Scrub * Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream * Vichy Normaderm Micellar Solution * Soap & Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser * Original Source Lemon Tea Tree Shower Gel * No.7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream *

Hair wise I'm taking:

* Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo & Conditioner * Tresemme Extra Hold Hair Spray * Tresemme Liquid Gold Hair Oil * Lee Stafford Flat Iron Protection Mist *

And a few extra bits and bobs like:

* Aquafresh Toothpaste * Nivea Deoderant * Ted Baker Body Spray * Satin Care Shaving Foam *

Then onto the fun part of Make-Up! :)

I've given myself quite a few options here, but hey you never know how you'll feel on the day so why not!

Skin wise, I've gone with:

* Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 52 * Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer in Medium 52 * Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light 2 * Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light * Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro Primer in 002 *

So there we have it, everything I'm taking with me to NYC. I am going to take a small bag with me onto the plane so I can take my make-up off when we take off, as I know its really bad for your skin to keep it on during a long-haul flight. But, these are the main bits I'm taking.

Let me know if you usually take this amount of products with you when you go on holiday so I don't feel quite so bad?! :) I am going to write some more posts now to schedule for next week, so you shouldn't even notice I'm gone. But expect a long picture heavy post when I'm back, or follow me on Instagram if you fancy being nosy before that! :)

I hope you're all enjoying the lovely bank holiday weather!!
