The Sanderson has everything you need to up your social media game. From a garden filled with fake flamingos to a floral covered ceiling over its bar; take a tumble down the rabbit hole with their Alice in Wonderland inspired afternoon tea. Wet your whistle with a glass of Laurent Perrier Cuvée Rosé or try one of their many Alice inspired teas. From smoked salmon scotch quail eggs to mouth-watering Queen of Hearts rose and strawberry jammy dodgers, there's no excuse not to be late for this very important date. Be sure to snap a photo on their rose-covered swing in the garden!</div>

Take your seat amidst the floral-filled backdrop and enjoy a taste of Honey Bee Afternoon Tea from possibly <i>the</i> most Instagrammable place in London. Highlighting the importance of bees in our society, the menu's sweet treats focus on four key habitats which help keep bees alive, from forest to garden, field, and mountain. It's actually impossible to not get a photo good enough for the gram here, and afternoon tea isn't the only thing they make look good, they also serve breakfast.</div>

A pink lovers haven, Sketch is known as the place to be in London for picture perfect interiors. With the staff donning pink clothing to pink walls, ceilings and even chairs, you'll be served the finest food including croque d'york and eggs truffle gougère. Don't leave without a trip to the bathroom. For bladder purposes after all the champers and also the fact that they're even Instagrammable too. Oh, and their chinaware and artwork are to die for.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I've always kinda had a love/hate relationship with concealers. I just can never decide on one I like and stick to it - but I've now somehow managed to find two so I thought I'd share them!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This concealer is just the right coverage.I'd say its between medium to high coverage, and comes out best when you apply with a damp beauty blender. The thing I love about this is although it does cover your dark circles and blemishes, it is also very lightweight, so it doesn't feel like you've got 100 layers on under your eyes every morning. My one complaint about this is the lack of shades they do, as they only have a fair colour and a light colour, and I'm kind of in the middle. When you first apply the product it does come out quite sticky, so it definitely needs powder over the top. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I LOVE this concealer. I use the lightest shade, porcelain and it matches my face so well. I'd say its a medium coverage, so I tend to use this when I don't need as much of a coverage, and this definitely needs setting with powder too. This is definitely such a bargain product, and if I didn't know it was from Primark, I would definitely say that it was in the £15-£20 bracket. It stays on my face ALL day and doesn't sit in my creases or anything.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This little foundation is a dream and not only is it cruelty free, but its also vegan AND oil free!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'd say that coverage wise, this is light to medium, however definitely build-able as its such a liquid based formula so very easy to blend. The look once its on reminds me so much of Too Faced's Born This Way!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">SHADES</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was slightly skeptical when I first purchased this as I brought it online on ASOS therefore couldn't physically colour match it to my skin, but I went onto their website <a href="http://theordinary.com/shadeguid" target="_blank">here</a> and basically matched my skin colour to my phone. To my surprise I actually picked THE perfect colour.. and it helps sooo much that they do have so many shades to choose from, and each one of their colors comes in Y,N,P, NS, R or YG - Y is for those with a yellow undertone, N is for neutral, P is for pink and NS is for neutral with silver highlights, R is for red and YG is for yellow gold. I literally didn't have a clue what undertone I was so I kinda guessed, but the colour I have is 1.2 N. On their website it also says that each person can pretty much get away with three shades, meaning that the foundation will blend in with your skin tone even if you get it a shade lighter or darker by mistake. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">APPLICATION</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Before applying foundation I always use a primer, partly to keep it on on my t-zone for longer but also to minimise my huge pores, however, this actually has pore refining properties inside, so naturally makes your pores look smaller (winning!) I then shake it before using, to thicken it up a bit, I can confidentially say that 4 pumps does my whole face and obviously because its not heavy coverage, I wear concealer under my eyes and on blemishes. To finish I always set my foundation with powder, normally a banana powder because they are my fave!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">QUALITIES</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't even know where to start with this foundation because it has so many good qualities. One of the things I hate the most is when foundation sits on your skin and feels and looks heavy, and this definitely doesn', infact it doesn't even feel like you have any foundation on your face because its so lightweight. When you pump it out of the bottle it's quite watery but when you actually apply it, it leaves like a semi-matte finish, and gives a really natural effect. For those of you that have freckles like me, It still lets them come peeping through whilst covering blemishes, redness etc! Also, this has an SPF 15 in, which makes it even better because it's got all the qualities you need in a perfect holiday foundation!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As some of you may know, I have quite oily skin however don't like to use matte moisturizers because they dry me out, but I really cant believe that this keeps me matte for a good 5-6 hours! I've also read a few reviews online from people who have dry skin, and they've said they love it too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I actually don't know what I was doing before I tried this foundation because it ticks all of the boxes for me! Cruelty free, vegan, lightweight, oil free and SO many shades to choose from, I just wish they sold bigger bottles so I could have more!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can purchase this foundation from <a href="http://www.asos.com/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-serum-foundation-spf15/prd/8347604?clr=33nverydeep&cid=25860&pgesize=8&pge=0&totalstyles=8&gridsize=3&gridrow=2&gridcolumn=1" target="_blank">ASOS</a> for only £6.00!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm definitely going to try the Coverage foundation soon and I'll report back on that too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I've heard a LOT of things about Primark makeup recently, and after looking up whether its cruelty free or not and seeing this...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to take a trip to my local store and have a little look. The store I went to didn't have a huge range of their makeup so I didn't end up getting as much as anticipated, but I brought a few things I was willing to try, and didn't go crazy just in case they were bad, and it turned out to be a waste of money!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boy I wish I did buy lots! This is 100% THE most affordable, cruelty free makeup brand I've ever used. Their products are super super affordable, and it definitely does not reflect in the quality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grabbed myself a new eyeliner for a pound, as I normally use <a href="http://www.kikocosmetics.com/en-gb/make-up/eyes/eyeliners/Precision-Eyeliner/p-KM0030200900144" target="_blank">Kiko's</a> one, but I've recently decided to start wearing thinner liner, and with Kiko's one its quite hard to do because the brush is thick. This Primark one is probably, (no exaggeration), THE best eyeliner I've ever used in my life. I recommend it to literally everyone I meet/chat with about makeup.. its a god send! The brush is very thin, which means you can make your liner as thick or thin as you want, and also I've found that it is quite hard to mess it up. I've found that with other eyeliners, sometimes if you mess it up or press on your lid too hard, it makes the line un-even. This actually doesn't happen with this eyeliner (not sure why, but I'm not going to complain) and it makes my life so much easier on those tired mornings!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This <a href="https://www.primark.com/en/product/ps-peach-matte-lipstick,R35397119237188" target="_blank">lipstick </a>was something I was in desperate need of. I lost my nude lipstick a few weeks ago so was just wearing liquid lipsticks, but I like to put normal lipsticks on top. This one is ridiculously good and only £1.50! Because its called 'matte long last' it obviously does emphasise if your lips are dry. I also picked up another lipstick which is just one of their normal ones, in a nudy/pinky shade called 'Bordeaux' and can literally wear it everyday. It's a perfect balance between matte and glossy. I really should've brought more colours, and I am definitely going to go back and purchase basically all of the colours - whoopsie! But seriously.. for 90p, It would be silly not to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to pick up one of their liquid lipsticks as well, because everyone had been talking about them, but I know there's a few types they do. The one I grabbed is their "kiss proof" one, and It's in the colour 'Dark In Tension' and I LOVE it! I'm trying to work darker lipsticks into my normal makeup routine more as I just feel like they can make a plain look, look 10x better. This is definitely a little bit more darker on than it seems in the bottle though (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!'. I was actually really surprised when I wore it and after I drank whole glass of prosecco, there was no sign of smudging! I also didn't exfoliate my lips before putting it on because I didn't have any lip exfoliator to hand at the time, and it still managed to not dry out my lips - god send! I definitely want to buy this in more colours, especially a nude and a brown! I also want to try to get my hands on the other liquid matte lipsticks they do, which I've heard amazing things about!! (let me know if you've tried them in the comments below!).<br />
<br />
Another thing I thought I would give a go is their nail polishes. I'm not really a keen nail person, I kind of paint my nails when I'm either extremely bored, or procrastinating, I basically disown my nails the rest of the time (awful, I know). I wanted to grab some cheap nail polishes to try and these ones actually looked pretty decent packaging wise so I thought - why not? (And they were £1.50!!- rude not to). I tried their satin matte one in the shade 'Rose Mauve' and I liked it! I wouldn't rave about it too much, as It's just an average nail polish in my point of view. I always find the majority of nail varnishes chip on my nails after about 1 days wear, so I wasn't upset that this happened with this one! However, I also grabbed their precious metals nail polish in the colour 'Groupie' and I literally feel like this is probably going to be my favourite nail polish for the next year. It has so far stayed on for 2 days!! It's also a really nice colour, and actually does give a metal effect, and even other people have asked about it and cannot believe it's from Primark!<br />
<br />
I actually need a new foundation as my skin is turning into a bit of a pain at the moment as It kind of changes with the weather. One day It'll be oily and the next It'll be combination so, annoying times. For £3 I picked up their 2 in 1 foundation and concealer which gives a dewy finish. It also contains vitamin E, as it says on the packaging. For some reason (don't know if I'm the only one or not), I thought that the foundation and concealer would be kind of mixed together so It would give more of a full coverage. However the foundation is in the squeeze bottle and in the lid there is concealer! madness. The first (and only time, at the moment) that I tried this I was not a fan. My skin was going through a rough phase so I found that it stayed on and looked actually really nice on everywhere but my T-Zone, where It looked like I had literally wiped my makeup off. I'm definitely not going to say no to this foundation yet, as It could have been the brush I used to apply it with, or my primer or even the moisturiser I used, that made it wear off my face so dramatically. So I'm going to give it a good few more tries until Its a no no! If it is any good (hopefully it is), I will definitely write a separate post about it!<br />
<br />
Last, but certainly not least, I am so so unbelievably glad that I purchased their brow gel. I feel like this product actually needs a separate post it is THAT good! All I'm going to say on here is that It can change untameable and unattractive brows, to Cara D brows in minutes! I use this every single day now - without fail and it makes such a difference to my eyebrows. I still use it with my other products I used before, but I cannot even explain to you how good it is. For a pound, you can't really go wrong!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I am yet to find something that I really dislike in Primark's makeup range, and I think it is extremely affordable AND good quality!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really really want to try their PS work out range, which is makeup designed to stay on your face whilst you work out, and also that means if you have oily skin, there's more chance of this staying on! I'm definitely going to make sure I go on a trip to a Primark where they have a bigger makeup range so I can splurge & get some lovely things.</div>

<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/microsite/superdrug-ownbrand" target="_blank">Superdrugs' own brand products are THE BOMB. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, they're <b>all </b>cruelty free certified and hold the leaping bunny logo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Secondly, they're super cheap & affordable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, they all smell amazing! what more could you want?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I buy mostly every single toiletry I need from Superdrug, including; nail varnish remover, shaving foam, deodorant, face wipes, hand sanitiser, toothpaste, mouthwash, shower gel, wax strips, talcum powder, hair remover cream, hand wash, body spray, bath foam and more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I literally cannot fault Superdrug when it comes to their own brand products. I have never ever had a problem with any of them and they all do the job just as anywhere else (that probably isn't cruelty free) would.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you're thinking of going cruelty free then Superdrug is definitely the place to start, its super affordable, easy to get hold of and amazing! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These are a list of all of the haircare brands in Superdrug and what their policies are on animal testing and if they are vegan! Some of them are cruelty free but sell in China, some don't and some do test on animals. Hopefully this list will make things a lot easier when it comes to drugstore makeup shopping for some people!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Quick reminder: The leaping bunny logo (below) certifies that the product has been named 'cruelty free' under the <span style="background-color: white;">internationally recognised Humane Cosmetics/Humane Household Products Standards and means that the product has not been tested on animals in the UK or anywhere else in </span>the world (including sales in China). Other cruelty free logos include PETA, cruelty free international & choose cruelty free.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In my point of view; If a company truly doesn't believe in animal testing, then regardless of profit or any other element, they should not sell their products in China. China have a law in their country that states no products are allowed to be sold there, unless they are tested on animals, however Chinese citizens can purchase from online sites which sell makeup which has not been tested on animals. Just because a product hasn't been tested on an animal does<b> <u>not</u> </b>mean that its not safe. There are many ways now for humans to check if a product is safe other than using an animal to do so - one of these methods being testing products on human skin donated from plastic surgery. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Theres no need to hurt these innocent little animals, so help save them by shopping cruelty free!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the summer when I visited Lake Bled, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to do all the things I wanted to - mostly because I was only there for a few days, but because of funds too. There are so so many activities and things to do around the lake so you are guaranteed to never be bored! Here is a small list of the things I wanted to do around the gorgeous Slovenian lake, and things I will hopefully end up doing at some point in the future, as I hope</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to travel back there very very soon! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.bled.si/en/what-to-do/summer-sports/summer-sledding" target="_blank">1. Toboggan Run</a>.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">Young or adult – all in love with adrenaline! Ride down the summer chute and enjoy the bold ride." </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">F</span>rom spring to autumn, <span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #404040;">Straža is the place to be. Situated on the ski slope, next to the chair lift, it gives a spectacular view of the entire lake, the cathedral, castle and countryside. The track is 530m long and an extremely popular activity around Lake bled. Night Tobogganing is also available from 1st July till 15th August. Per ride is 8 euros which allows a chair lift ride up there and a toboggan ride down!</span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.bled.si/en/what-to-do/summer-sports/rowing" target="_blank">2. Paddle Boarding.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>"</b></span><span style="text-align: start;">Perfect recreation with a long and recognised tradition in Bled.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">"</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paddle boarding on the lake is something I wanted to do so bad but the weather on the day we were planning on doing it just was not on our side! It genuinely looks</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> so peaceful and tranquil though - and also looks incredibly easy but I bet it isn't, I'd be falling off it every 5 seconds. Some companies do paddle boarding tours like </span><a href="https://www.bananaway.si/en/sup-lake-bled/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Bananaway</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and</span><a href="http://www.lifeadventures.si/adventures/stand-up-paddle/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"> Life Adventures</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.lifeadventures.si/adventures/stand-up-paddle/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"> </a><span style="font-family: inherit;">but around the lake there are certain hire places where you can hire rowing boats swell as paddle boards and just do your own thing! This is a must do for a hot beach & chill day around the lake! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is the church in the middle of the lake.

To get onto the island it costs no more than 10 euros for entry. Group tours can also be purchased to go here, as well as group boat trips to get there which are a little more expensive than rowing yourself there - however a tad more relaxing.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"> Around the lake there is a place called </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Grajsko kopališče (Castle Bathing Area) which is Lake Bled's designated beach point. Open from June till late September, this beach offers spectacular views of the lake and is situated under the magnificent rock. There are so many activities to do in here, ranging from trampolines, water slides, climbing walls, table tennis, jump boards, chess and many more. It is up to 7 euros a day for entry per person and an extra 2 euros a day per umbrella and 3 euros for a deck chair. You don't have to purchase deck chairs/ umbrellas, you can find a reasonable amount of shades under the various trees around.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I really really wanted to see this whilst I was in Lake bled but we ran out of time! Vintgar Gorge is 1.6km long and goes through the rocks of the Hom and Bort hills. It is known to be one of the most naturaly beautiful attractions around Bled. The walk leads you through waterfalls, pools and rapids, over bridges and more. It apparently leaves an impression on every visitor as </span><a href="http://www.bled.si/en/what-to-see/natural-sights/the-vintgar-gorge/Presentation" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">Its steep depths, vertical walls, rapid river beneath, vegetation and the largest waterfall in Slovenia are all intended to impress."</span></a> Entry into the Gorge is around 3 euros per person, I also know that some places around the lake offer day trips and excursions to the Gorge!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">The backdrop of Lake Bled is formed by the beautiful woods of </span>Pokljuka, Mežakla and Jelovica. There are several opportunities to go hiking in the woods and mountains surrounding the lake and you will be rewarded with the most amazing view of the whole of Bled at the end. The trip involves hiking up to the mountain Lipanca which is above Pokljuka. There are several agencies around the lake which arrange hiking tours and can put you in touch with hiking equipment. I desperately wanted to do this whilst I was visiting, but this is definitely something which takes up a good whole day of sightseeing, It's an activity which I strongly suggest doing if you are visiting bled for a week or so, as it will give you different perspectives on the place and let you see the real beauty of the lake. </span></div>

Hey guys! I thought I would write this post - not to pick out certain companies and slate them but literally because of the fact that before I decided to go cruelty free, <br>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After going to the supermarket to get snacks and drinks after we headed home to get some sleep before our busy day the next day!</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We woke up and the weather was a bit crappy so we decided we would go for some lunch, then go to one of the thermal bath's for the day and have a chill day as we were half way through our holiday and we're both pretty knackered! We stopped at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vintagegardenbudapest/" target="_blank">The Vintage Garden Bistro</a> for some food which was delicious! Will chose the Salmon ravioli with butter creme and I had the Garganelli with duck and porcini mushroom sauce and basil. Afterwards I then had some chocolate covered strawberries! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We decided to get a taxi from there to <a href="http://www.gellertbath.com/" target="_blank">Gellert bath</a>! It cost around €4. Once we were there we decided we also wanted a massage each too so we booked onto that when we brought our tickets!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These bath's were AMAZING!! There was lots of little thermal baths which were heated, some inside and some out. Then there was also one huge outside swimming pool which had a wave machine which was on every hour, there was also a few ice bath's and a sauna and a steam room. Our favourite was probably the wave machine pool.. the waves went ridiculously high and it was so fun! The bath closed at 8 so we were there around 4 hours and by that time we were knackered. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When we got back we decided to go to our local supermarket and buy some food as we both still had wet hair from the pools and couldn't be bothered to wash and change etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next day we started off by heading towards Parliament building. There are a few coffee shops and restaurants round there so we stopped to have a drink and a little bite to eat. After that we realised that I had forgotten my memory card so we walked all the way to <a href="http://www.westend.hu/" target="_blank">Budapest's mall,</a> which was HUGE! and went to a shop in there to get another! If we had another day in Budapest I definitely would've spent a day here because there was so many shops!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We then headed back to parliament and walked down the river to the Chain bridge. On the way there we walked past the <span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.870588);">Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial which is a memorial made </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525;">to honour the Jews who were killed </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525;">in Budapest during World War II</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525;">. The reason it is shoes on the bank is because these people were made to take off their shoes and then were shot into the river and their bodies were then carried away in the water. T</span>hen we stopped at a place called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pontoonbudapest/" target="_blank">Pontoon</a> to have a drink before walking over the bridge! Will chose a beer and I chose a Mojito!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After walking over the bridge we decided to get the funicular up to the castle and explore. The funicular cost around 4 euros each return! When we got up there there was lots to do, there was a museum, a couple of bar/cafes and some stalls to by some souvenirs! The view is incredible, however its not actually that high up, so we probably could've walked it had we known! We also stopped for some food here, will chose a pizza and I had a panini and we each had a glass of wine to wash it down! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once we got the funicular down we walked back over the bridge and headed to the cathedral which isn't too far away. We stopped in a bar on the way there because Will wanted to watch the rest of the game and then after walked right up to the cathedral. Around there, on the corner there was an ice cream shop called <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g274887-d2085587-Reviews-Gelarto_Rosa-Budapest_Central_Hungary.html" target="_blank">Gelarto Rosa </a>where we both got an ice cream and it was made to look like a pretty rose! We didn't actually get the chance to go in the cathedral as It was shut but we managed to time it so we heard all the bells chiming outside on the hour!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">From here we started walking to <a href="http://en.szimpla.hu/" target="_blank">Szimpla Kert,</a> the oldest ruin pub in the whole of Budapest. With its mismatched items and its huge choice of drinks (and food). There is a cocktail bar, beer bar, wine bar and a grill bar! We stayed here for a while and then called a taxi to go to the 360 bar. This is the highest rooftop bar in the whole of Budapest which shows you a 360 degree of the panoramic skyline. They sell both food and drinks and they have an incredible range of cocktails! They have the normal, sex on the beach, cosmo, and mojito and then they have their own twists! If you're a coconut lover I strongly recommend "I'm in love with the coco"!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Brugge is an absolutely beautiful city which I strongly advise everyone to see at least once in their lifetime! It honestly looks like something from a Disney film, its so fairytale like and picturesque. When I visited It was summer time and it was packed with people sipping on their Belgian beers in the various beer gardens and eating waffles like they were going out of fashion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Accommodation wise I suggest staying somewhere walking distance from everything, something which is definitely</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">in the centre of Brugge. You can find some really lovely places on Air bnb, or if you're looking for something a little more luxurious there are several hotels around. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is a 2 day plan for Brugge, In order to see everything you need to. It is definitely a weekend trip as it is so easily seen in 2 days!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Day 1: </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would personally suggest to go quite full on in day one, especially as if its a nice day you don't want to chance not doing everything and not being able to do things the next day because of bad weather. I'd suggest firstly to make your way into Markt Square, the main square in Brugge, where the famous </span><a href="http://www.the-markt.com/belfry-tower.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Belfry Tower</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is, and from here to walk down to the canal point on Wollestraat and take a canal tour for 8 euros per person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GuiqQ2c2Vw2HcrBhpKoHcSn7LyrzH0KJuwwL2PidVO6gUFK9eFfYRFVg6YSc73zyhQSddOenhtgAZh2D4CIGX-HvRa6nfySFV9uUJ1hMLHJCt5gJeHbHAwI9HGkXD_C2J0RXtXQLAnTH/s1600/belfry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GuiqQ2c2Vw2HcrBhpKoHcSn7LyrzH0KJuwwL2PidVO6gUFK9eFfYRFVg6YSc73zyhQSddOenhtgAZh2D4CIGX-HvRa6nfySFV9uUJ1hMLHJCt5gJeHbHAwI9HGkXD_C2J0RXtXQLAnTH/s1600/belfry.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> After this you could pop for a drink at <a href="http://www.2-be.biz/en/2BeBar.php" target="_blank">The Beer Wall </a>which is just opposite the ticket booth for the canals. In here they offer tasting menu's in which you pay 10 euros and get 4 mini pints of certain beers to try (you can choose which category, light, dark or combi) with some Belgian cheese and salami. After a drink or two at the beer wall you could visit the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which is just around the corner in Burg Square. This is where a piece of cloth is, which apparently contains jesus' blood. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After, you'd probably be feeling a bit peckish by this time, so on your way back to Markt Square </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">you could pop into </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/chezalbert/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Chez Albert</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> for a famous Belgian waffle or the shop directly opposite which sells waffles on sticks with a topping of your choice! If you're not feeling something sweet, try some of the chips in the green food vans outside the Belfry Tower, they also sell some strange sauces to go with it! After filling yourself up, now would be a good time to walk all of that off, by walking up the Belfry Tower. 366 steps later, you will find yourself looking at the most spectacular view of Brugge there is!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Once coming out of the Belfry tower, on your left there should be a street called Steenstraat, where you can shop till you drop! For dinner you could try<a href="http://www.devlaamschepot.be/" target="_blank"> </a><span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.devlaamschepot.be/" target="_blank">De Vlaamsche Pot</a>, a favourite within the locals for mussels and chips, Brugge's specialty dish. After dinner you could head back towards Markt square and go for a quiet drink in one of the restaurants around the square, like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GrandCafeBelfort/?rf=195163147183378" target="_blank">Le Grand Cafe Belfort</a>, with a </span>fabulous view of the whole square and the lit up Belfry Tower.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Day 2:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Day 2 is definitely going to have you on your feet a little more. Lets start with an early morning market visit. You can find the market timetable</span><a href="http://www.discoverbruges.com/freetime_detail.asp?taal=en&id=JPMQCNMPQMC" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"> here</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, whether its a flea market on or flower market or even food market on, I suggest going just to see what its like and mix with the locals! Also try some food from the food stalls for breakfast as they sell delicious hot chocolate and mini waffles! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNDXdbxFEmids4i9vWght7jO-_t3tQKhw6xm-80XJf2KQ2k0o7Birm4iGs0prudxSg3M8S_UUwEwisavipaqzeQ3DxX1UUmVqdazvSdak3OIL7zrygeosbU-jXpSthAVSa7V72fbp8eeI/s1600/market.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNDXdbxFEmids4i9vWght7jO-_t3tQKhw6xm-80XJf2KQ2k0o7Birm4iGs0prudxSg3M8S_UUwEwisavipaqzeQ3DxX1UUmVqdazvSdak3OIL7zrygeosbU-jXpSthAVSa7V72fbp8eeI/s1600/market.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From here I would suggest visiting Minnewater park and exploring around there for a few hours as I know there is quite a lot to see including a museum. You could either stop at a near by shop and get some supplies for a picnic or you could stop in a nearby restaurant near Lago Del Amor (the Lake of Love), like <a href="http://www.toudkanthuys.be/" target="_blank">'t Oud Kanthuys</a>. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">On your way back to Markt Square you could stop at </span><a href="http://www.halvemaan.be/en/home" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">De Halve Maan</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> for a drink or guided tour - or both! This is a family run brewery which brews the famous Brugge beer called Brugge Zot. From here you could begin to wander back to Markt Square and on the way stop at a museum, there are lots around including a Salvador Dali one, Classical Flemish art and even a fries one!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Before heading off for some more exploring you could stop by <a href="http://blog.godivachocolates.eu/en/godiva-the-story" target="_blank">Godiva</a>, a chocolate store, to try some Belgian chocolate, on strawberries, around marshmallows or on its own! For one last bit of shopping you could stop by Geldmuntstraat where there is less well known, Belgian clothes shops, for some different fashion. When deciding where to eat you could choose to either go near the square or back near Minnewater for a more romantic setting. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">For some after dinner drinks popping into</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/le.trappiste/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"> </a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/le.trappiste/" target="_blank">Le Trappiste</a> for a last bit of beer tasting would be a good idea. They sell over 100 beers in there and the majority of them are on tap. They also sell beer which comes in a special horn glass (ask which one). If you're feeling keen to go out there are a few bars/clubs which are lively on </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Geernaartstraat, like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/club13Brugge/" target="_blank">Club 13</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">On arrival to Venice we were both very happy from our scenic train journey from Slovenia and we was ready to explore. The heat hit us both ridiculously as we were dressed for quite windy weather as it was raining in Slovenia when we left. Venice was 32 degrees and unbearable. When we arrived at Venezia St.Lucia station we stopped for a drink in a bar directly outside the station whilst we</span><br>
<a name="more"></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> got up google maps to get to our Air Bnb.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Basically, Venice is a labyrinth. Everywhere looks the same and if you get lost (you definitely will) you'll most probably need to ask at least 10 people to get back to where you need to be. But the beauty of Venice is getting lost, so if you get lost and find a cute little restaurant,</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> try it out because the tiny independent restaurants can sometimes be the best ones!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Personally, I do not think Venice is the place to go whilst travelling, It is probably one of the most of expensive places I've ever been to and bearing in mind it was our last destination, we were very limited money wise, so we had to choose what we wanted to do/see wisely. I would probably suggest to go to Venice on a weekend break, as there is quite a lot to see especially on the surrounding islands. I would also probably suggest going in spring or autumn when the weather is a bit cooler, as whilst we were there its was 32 degrees and unbearable! We actually found ourselves scouting for bars with air con in!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Basically, before we came to Venice we made a plan of everything we wanted to see/do but we did not even do half of it! We went at the worst time - a weekend in summertime and in the worst heat. Also, we didn't actually check before hand how much money it was to buy tickets for entry into some places so we ended up not being able to afford to go into everywhere.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After settling into our Air Bnb we went out to explore! Firstly we made our way to Piazza S.Marco, St Marks square, whilst we were walking we walked over the famous Rialto Bridge which was unfortunately covered in scaffolding (sad times) but we popped into a few of the shops on the top of the bridge and had a little wander. From the Rialto bridge, St Marks square was very well signposted and easy to find, basically everyone will be going the same way because its the most famous square in Venice!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Around Piazzo Di San Marco there is the Basilica di San Marco, Palazzo Ducal, Palace of Doges, and more. There is also a Gondola point here, where you can hire a Gondola but there are also other ones around the island for cheaper. We had a wander around here and took some photos then decided to go for a drink whilst we chose what to do for the rest of the evening. We stopped for (several) drinks and then decided to get a slice of pizza from a pizzeria for dinner, as their pizza slices they sell are HUGE, and to have another drink. We had an amazing piece of pizza from a little shop and then came across a Juice bar called Frulala and stayed there until it closed, drinking. Their drinks were seriously THE best! They were fruit, blended and mixed with alcohol - it doesn't sound that appetizing, but trust me they were! Also they were extremely easy to drink (which is also quite dangerous haha!) After that we got another slice of pizza on our way home whilst we both drunkenly decided to try and read a map. Several hours later, when the birds were chirping, we made it home. As I said, Venice is very confusing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We both had a little bit of a lay in in the morning because of our late night but once we woke up we decided to go to the market on Rialto bridge.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> It sells a little bit of everything; souvenirs, leather, jewellery, glass, toys, food! We each got a fruit juice and then we had a cheeky little ice cream from a shop called white! This is THE best ice cream store I've ever been to! Essentially, you choose the cup size you want, then you fill it with whichever flavour ice cream you want by using the machines (my fave was salted caramel) and then you can add whichever toppings you like, from chocolate to fresh fruit, or even biscuits! Then to finish you add a sauce of your choice and then you pay by weight! We had 3 of these whilst we were here, they were our all time favourite!!</span><br>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After stuffing our faces with gelato we made our way over the Rialto bridge and back to Piazza S.Marco and sat down for a drink in the famous Cafe Florian which is the oldest cafe in the whole of Venice! Will chose a Venezian beer and I had a prosecco and they brought out crisps and snacks with it too! This was very pricey but you are literally paying for location as it is in the square and has a lovely view of the Basilica and Doge's Palace!</span><br>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We then headed to The Bridge of Sighs which is just round the corner to take a few snaps! after we decided to walk this side of the island and see if there was anything to see or do and we got lost.. of course! We got lost for a good 2 hours before working our way back to exactly where we was in the first place! For the whole of Venice we literally lived off pizza and ice cream.. it was bliss. We then decided to have a drink and some olives in a bar and we chilled in there for a whilst deciding what we wanted to do for dinner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For dinner we chose to each get a takeaway pizza and eat it in our Air bnb and have an early (ish) night before our busy day the next day! So we picked up 2 pizzas from a little shop not too far from the ice cream shop and they were lovely!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next morning we had planned to visit Murano, the glass making island! We originally wanted to visit Murano, Burano (lace) and Lido (beach) but we couldn't fit it all in/afford all the water bus tickets! We walked to the water bus station, despite getting extremely lost, which was near the train station and brought a ticket from the machine for 7 euros each and it was valid to go anywhere for 90 minutes (along as you stamped it to validate it before using!). We worked out that for us to go to all of the islands we would have to buy 4 tickets each and we definitely didn't have enough money for that so agreed to visit Murano.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I actually kind of wish we had visited Lido. Mostly because its supposed to be really lovely and it was soooo hot on this day we both could've done with a beach day! Nonetheless, Murano was a delight! We managed to get into see glass blowing for free, not really sure how, but we did! It was really something else! I was so amazed and never actually thought about how glass is made, but watching someone make it in front of your eyes into amazing things like glass horse statues or little glass insects was really spectacular! We also brought a little glass sweet in the shop as a souvenir.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We then decided to explore the island a bit more and find somewhere to have some food (pizza, obviously). We decided to stop in a little pizzeria, as there's not really much in Murano, as we discovered, but we each had a pizza wrap, so basically half a pizza rolled up as a wrap! It was YUM! After eating we decided we should definitely walk it off so we walked around the island a bit more to find somewhere to have a drink! and then after this we decided to (try) and get back to Venice!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">When we arrived back in Venice we decided to get off the water bus at a different stop, one closest to St Marks square! We had already decided we wanted to go on a gondola and we had been told from so many different people that you can barter with them! Average price for them is around 80 euros and they ALL say they won't drop the price but if you say someone else has offered it to you for 60 they will take it! We got ours for 60 euros and It was definitely my favourite thing we done in Venice! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would definitely make sure you ask them before going on the trip if you'll be taken under The Bridge of Sighs as we thought we were going to be, but weren't :(. This was so lovely and I would suggest every single person that goes to Venice to do this as it lets you explore parts of Venice you cannot see whilst on foot! You'll be taken down the little windy canals and onto the grand canal and it is so peaceful. This was probably the only thing I would go back to Venice to do as In my experience Venice wasn't my favourite place! The gondola ride lasted for 30 minutes and we were taken back to where we picked it up from! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We then decided we wanted to go for a nice dinner as it was our last night of our whole trip and it was time to say goodbye to travelling (sad times). We found a lovely little restaurant down the back streets which wasn't busy when we arrived but began to get popular, especially with locals which was a good sign. We spoke to the chef personally and he asked us both what dishes we were feeling like eating and suggested some! Will chose squid ink pasta and I chose pasta with ragu! I didn't manage to get any snaps as my camera ran out of battery, but our food was delicious, they also brought out some aperitifs on the house afterwards!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Things to avoid in Venice:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#1 Restaurants/bars in tourist hotspots (Rialto bridge, St Marks square) who charge 15 euros for a glass of wine!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#2 Water taxi's, these can be VERY expensive - its cheaper to get a bus.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#4 Some of the expensive and not worth it tourist attractions - definitely do your research before you visit and make sure you know where you DEFINITELY want to go and see!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">#5 Staying in a hotel off of Venice island- they are definitely not worth it as the amount of money it will be to get on the island every day and the amount of time it takes is silly!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We were both so so sad to be going home, as we both enjoyed our holiday so much and felt like it flew by too quick! But I'm sure I will be booking my next adventure as soon as I possibly can!!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First things first; Lake Bled is officially the most beautiful place I've ever seen and is DEFINITELY my favourite holiday destination right now!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It took around 40 minutes on the train to get here from Ljubljana, and when we arrived at the tranquil 'Lesce Bled' railway station we both knew what was to come. It was a tiny, cosy town which makes you feel</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We jumped in a cab from the station and it cost around 15 euros to get to where we were staying, which was just outside of the lake. We stayed in a hotel here, as we couldn't find any hostels we particularly liked, and the reason we stayed a bit far away from the lake was mostly because of the price. As we were travelling, we had to be realistic with price so couldn't afford to stay in a hotel a stones throw from the lake. To be honest I quite enjoyed our walks to and from the lake every day as It was just nice to see whats around apart from touristy areas of places! The hotel we stayed in is called <a href="http://www.hotel-pibernik-bled.com/" target="_blank">Hotel Pension Pibernik Bled</a>, and I honestly cannot recommend it enough! If, actually when... I go back and visit this amazing place I wouldn't think twice about staying here, we also had a really comfy hammock on our balcony which was great!! I recommend it 100% for families, as its actually a family friendly hotel and I can imagine </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">it being amazing during the hottest summer months. I could really have done with a few more days here though as it was just so relaxing and peaceful in comparison to everywhere else we visited! It took us about 15-20 minutes to walk to the lake every day, I probably wouldn't recommend walking it if you have young children as it is partially up hill and a bit remote in some parts but there are cab services available!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once we had settled in to our hotel, we decided to walk to the lake and see what was going on! As soon as we got there we stopped for a (well needed) drink in Park cafe, and some lunch. For food Will chose the burger and I chose the chicken Caesar salad and we both enjoyed it! Then we decided to try some of Bled's home made cake! I honestly wish I could have taken this home for my family as this was AMAZING!! I had probably 3-4 slices in 2 days and kept telling my boyfriend to share it with me, then when it came I just ate it all to myself.. whoops! This cafe was lovely as it is right on the lake and if you get a balcony seat you are definitely winning! After this we decided to go on a little wander around some of the lake just to see what else was around!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It honestly felt like the more I walked around it the prettier this place got! I never believed that places this beautiful actually existed! Especially in Europe, I always thought to see paradise you had to travel to somewhere like the Maldives or Bora Bora, but I was definitely wrong! I had seen photos of the lake before but I just assumed they had been photoshopped or something! We kept walking until we got to the boat hiring place next to Grajska Plaza restaurant and we decided to rent out a boat for an hour which was 15 euros. I personally don't think that's bad for boat hire, especially as we were there in June which is when It's normally getting hot! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Will then rowed us around the lake circling the cathedral and back again! This was probably the most memorable and favourite moment of my trip because it was just so peaceful! We didn't actually over estimate how long would take to row back and ended up being about 15-20 minutes late but luckily the man didn't notice or he would've charged us for another hour! I definitely could have done this all day and packed a picnic to have on the boat and some Prosecco!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After rowing us around Will was absolutely knackered so we stopped for a drink in Grajska Plaza restaurant! Will had a local beer and I chose a sex on the beach! Just below this restaurant was a beach part of the lake which you could pay something like 7 euros for the whole day to sit on and it had a park in for kids and you could swim in part of the lake which I really wish I had gone in! If the weather was nicer I definitely would've done this but I guess I'll just have to do it next time! After we had a few more drinks we decided to walk around the lake a bit further and find somewhere to eat dinner. We walked around another probably half of the lake until we realised there wasn't going to be any restaurants or anything for a while so decided to turn back and go to one we saw on the way to the boat hire place which was a Mexican restaurant called <a href="http://www.chillibled.com/" target="_blank">Chilli!</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a big fan of Mexican food, however Will isn't! We decided to go here because we were both really hungry and well, it was basically the only place we saw haha. We decided to sit inside, there is a summer terrace but it was a but nippy and neither of us had brought jackets with us. It was really nice inside and the food was amazing! I would go back here next time I visit because its probably one of the nicest Mexican meals I've had ever. We chose a shared platter of mixed fajitas which came with courgettes in, all the dips and rice and some other things which we didn't have a clue what they were! We also each had a few glasses of wine to wash it down with! I can't remember exactly how much this was but I think it was around 30-40 euros for the both of us! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After this it was starting to get dark so we decided to walk back to our hotel and get some sleep before a busy day the next day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When we woke up the next day the weather wasn't looking promising and it was raining a bit so we waited for the rain to die down before heading off to the lake. We had already pre-booked lunch in the castle in a restaurant called <a href="http://www.jezersek.si/en/locations/bled-castle/bled-castle-restaurant" target="_blank">Sezersek</a> which serves "Local and Regional dishes served in a contemporary and sophisticated way". We were booked in for around 12:00 so we headed there with time to walk up there and some time to spare to look around before eating. There isn't really much up there apart from a little cafe and the restaurant we went to but the view is insane!! The main reason we decided to go here for lunch was because we was toying with where to spend our last day in Lake bled, we chose between going to the cathedral in the middle of the lake or going up the castle and lucky for us we chose the castle! We worked out that it was 15 euros entry each just to get in the castle OR, if you're eating lunch there you get in for free!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It took around 30 minutes to walk up there for us because were both pretty unfit and I kept stopping to take photos every 10 seconds but once we got up there it was all worth it! This is quite a bold statement for me but I think this may be the nicest meal I've ever had. I felt like I was a princess whilst in this restaurant and we were treated like royals! We had a table quite far away from everyone else and it was right up against the wall so we could see over to the lake.. it was beautiful! We firstly ordered a bottle of white wine with our meal and some water, and whilst we were deciding what to eat they brought us out an appetiser on the house which was these bread cups filled with a creamy paste and caviar. We both had a starter of soup, I chose asparagus and will chose truffle and they were both so yummy! I actually preferred wills to mine, as asparagus soup is pretty mainstream, and truffle was amazing! For main Will chose Stag </span><span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.870588); text-align: left;">Chateaubriand</span> which was wrapped in pastry and served with green beans and a chutney and I chose chicken wings which came with mash potato and a sauce. Both of our main courses were absolutely incredible and we were both stuffed by the end we couldn't squeeze in a dessert, not even some Bled creme cake! They did however, bring us some macaroons on the house which were lovely! I'm not normally a lover of macaroons as I'm not too keen on the texture but the taste of these was spot on! This was probably the most expensive meal we had whilst on our trip but it was definitely worth it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After we had basically stuffed our faces we had another wander around the castle, took some photos and headed back down again to choose what we wanted to do/see next! On our way down we wandered into the beautiful church (Župnijska cerkev sv. Martina) which was about 2/3s of the way down and had a look around and lit some candles. When we finally got down we were toying between going to Vintgar Gorge, a famous gorge not too far away too look around.. hiring out a paddle board or bike riding around the whole lake and looking at what else there was around. We decided to hire out bikes, mostly because the weather wasn't nice enough to get a paddle board and we decided that next time we come we will travel a bit further to see the gorge! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We hired bikes from the same company we hired boats from the day before and headed off around the lake. It takes roughly an hour and a half to walk around the whole lake and it took around 25 minutes to cycle, so we stopped for a drink half way in a place near Zaka bus station, just next to the public swimming pool. It was bliss. I had a mojito and will had a beer and we just sat there for about 30 minutes just taking in the view. No matter where you're looking at this place from it is still beautiful! If we were there in July/august I definitely would've spent a day here, swimming by the lake and sunbathing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We then got back on our bikes and rode around the other half of the lake to make it back in time to give our bikes back! We stopped one more time and just sat with our feet in the water for a while and chilled. After giving our bikes back we went back to an ice cream shop we saw earlier and each got an ice cream! These were so good, they tasted like proper Italian gelato! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Theres a photo point around the lake with a love heart in meaning for couples or families or anyone in love to take a photo in so we did that after. We saw it the day before but it was really busy so thought we'd wait until a time when it was empty. There is also a bit of fence/wire where people have started hanging locks on there where we tied a bit of string on (We didn't have a lock haha!). After snapping a few photos here we decided to find somewhere to eat. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We both fancied pizza so we looked around on our phone maps for a pizzeria and found one a few minutes walk away. We only saw this when we were looking for the pizzeria but there's like a mini complex which has a bar in, a rent a car, a clothing shop, a vegan cafe, a supermarket and some other restaurants in! This is probably a cheaper alternative than eating somewhere around/basically on the lake so If you're thinking of travelling here on a budget, here is definitely the place to go to eat!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The pizzeria we went to was called <a href="http://pizzeriagallus.si/" target="_blank">Pizzeria Gallus</a> and was divine! They were proper stone baked pizzas and they were less than 10 euros each! After eating here we headed back to our hotel as we needed to pack for our extremely early train to Venice the next morning! We both definitely over estimated how hungry we were so we brought the rest of our pizzas back in a pizza box and had them when we were feeling peckish a bit later on! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">These are a list of all of the makeup brands in Boots and what their policies are on animal testing and if they are vegan or not! Some of them are cruelty free but sell in China, some don't and some do just test on animals. Hopefully this list will make things a lot easier when it comes to drugstore makeup shopping in the UK for some people!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In my point of view; If a company truly doesn't believe in animal testing then regardless of profit or any other element then it should not sell to China. China have a law in their country that no products are allowed to be sold there unless they are tested on animals, however Chinese citizens can purchase from online sites which sell makeup which has not been tested on animals. Just because a product hasn't been tested on an animal does </span><u style="font-family: inherit;">not</u><span style="font-family: inherit;"> mean that its not safe. There are many ways now for humans to check if a product is safe other than using an animal to do so- one of these methods being testing products on human skin donated from plastic surgery.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Smashbox is committed to the elimination of animal testing. We are equally committed to consumer health and safety, and bringing to market products that comply with applicable regulations in every country in which our products are sold." However they are owned by Estee Lauder who are confirmed to do tests on animals by PETA. Estee Lauder also own other companies who test on animals like; MAC, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Bumble and Bumble, Jo Malone, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Tom Ford, to name a few. </span>Smash box<span style="font-family: inherit;"> in my opinion isn't 100% cruelty free because who their owners are and also the fact they will test on animals when required by law.</span></div>

Boots don't have as many cruelty free brands available as other places such as Superdrug, which is why I like to shop in Superdrug more. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Animal testing methods are unnecessary as some of these brands have proved!</span></div>

After travelling from Budapest for several hours we finally arrived in my favourite destination, Slovenia! Whilst we were staying in Slovenia our plan was to stay for one night in Ljubljana to explore the city and then for 2 nights in Lake Bled, to explore around there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we arrived in Ljubljana train station, finding our hostel was extremely easy. We realised quickly that this place was <br />
<a name='more'></a>very well sign posted - everywhere. We jumped on a bus to the stop nearest to our hostel and arrived within around 15 minutes! If you are planning on using buses in Ljubljana (not sure if its the same in the whole of Slovenia) but you basically have to buy your tickets at the station and they give you a card that you top up each time, kind of similar to an oyster card and you beep it every time you get on/off a bus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After arriving in our hostel we freshened up and then decided to head to the city to explore. We got the bus back and got off at the stop called " Zmajski Most", walked over the famous dragon bridge and from there walked to the castle. We decided to get the funicular up the castle (I don't actually know if you can walk it, I didn't see any paths or steps or anything) but it was around 4 euro each for a return!</div>

When we got up the castle there was some sort of event happening later on in the evening which they were preparing for so there was a dance floor and several tables being put up in preparation! We walked around the castle, looking at what we could for around 45 minutes. There was even a mini library up there which you could just pick books out of and read outside with the view of the castle surrounding you. There was 2 places to eat/drink up there also, we didn't decide to try either of them as we wanted to eat in a more local place, so when we were getting peckish we decided to head back down the funicular and see everything else Ljubljana had to offer!</div>

We came off the funicular and turned left at the end of the street which lead us straight into the high street. I never actually knew this before visiting, but the shopping in Ljubljana is quite amazing. This is where I purchased the majority of my gifts for people at home as I found a shop called Zakladi Slovenije (they also have one in Lake Bled) which sold the most beautiful gifts which have been handmade in Slovenia! They also have a departmental store called Ikona, (http://www.ikonaljubljana.si) where they sell lots of different designer brands, clothes, shoes, bags at quite a good price, definitely worth a look in!</div>

We walked around the shops for a while and past the cathedral, the Robba Fountain and The Town hall and from there on decided to find somewhere to eat! We wanted to eat in a central location and try some traditional dishes so we ate in a place just off the square, with the view of the fountain and town hall! It was lovely and extremely reasonable for what we both ate!</div>

After eating we then did a little more shopping as it was a late night shopping night and then stopped for a drink in one of the places near the Town Hall. It was dark and getting late at this point so we decided to head back to the bus stop to get home! I am really bummed we didn't have enough time to see everything that Ljubljana had to offer but this is definitely on my travel list for next summer as well as Lake Bled!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
See you next time to speak about the beautiful Lake Bled in Part 2 of this post!<br />

We were staying in an Air BnB around 20 minutes walk away to old town square! When we got to our room the owners kindly gave us a USE-IT map of Prague! These maps are probably the most helpful maps I've ever used. They're maps made for young travellers so<br />
<a name='more'></a>on them they have marked where's good to see, drink, eat, party and more. Chosen by previous young travellers themselves, and what's even better is that you can download them on your phone too by the app and it works offline and will even show your location to you too!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
First things first - Prague is cheap as chips. It's literally cheaper to drink beer here than water! Our first night we spent in Prague we went straight out to eat "Vietnamese cuisine In a sexier way" in a restaurant called Remember, (on the SEE-IT map) kind of near old town! It was sooooo good and sooo cheap! We were both really confused about the money so downloaded an offline money converter to give us some sort of idea if things were cheap/expensive. We each had a starter, main course and 3 drinks and it came to around £20! After this we made our way home to sleep cause we were knackered from travelling!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next day we woke up ready to explore! I was so so excited to go around this town and see what was going on! Firstly we headed into old town square, and on our way stopped at a restaurant called USupa and had an early lunch! Will chose a Czech dish which consists of a sausage soaked In dark beer, which came with bread to dip in, and I chose a chicken Caesar! They also sold cherry beer here too, bonus!!</div>

This is literally a stones throw into the square so after stuffing our faces we walked around there! There was quite a lot going on here, it was lovely! There was various stalls selling souvenirs, foods and more and there was street acts playing music, a man making giant bubbles and horse and carts! There's lots of different cafes round here too, we didn't actually get the chance to eat my any of them but they were always fairly busy! Just off the square is the famous astromonomical clock which is one of the cities most popular sights and it is the oldest astronomical clock in the world that is still working!! </div>

We then decided to find a place to get a drink and decided to go by the river to another place marked on the map as a beer garden! This was so so so nice! There was a lovely singer there playing his guitar and it's right near the lake! At one point it did rain so they put all the umbrellas up so we didn't get wet and we waited there until the rain died off!</div>

We then left there and headed over the bridge and back round to old town square. On our way we came across a seafood festival on the island between the bridge and stopped there for a while! We didn't actually know this was going on, we just decided to spontaneously stop here as it smelt lush! Will got himself an octopus burger and I had a Calamari wrap with guacamole, and then we both of course had prosseco!</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Whilst trying to find some where to eat we stumbled accords hooters bar, so after dinner we went back there for a few drinks and watched the football game. We then decided we were going to (try and) make our way home as we knew we had to get up early the next day to go to the zoo!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We both woke up SO excited the next day to go to the zoo as its named the best zoo in continental Europe and the 4th best in the world! To get to the zoo we had to get a train to <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Nádraží Holešovic </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Station, get off and get on bus 112 which says zoo in it! One ticket works for both the train and busses so it cost less than £1 to get there. When we got there as well, there was a sign saying happy Monday's and that entry was only 50 CZK so we literally got into the zoo for about £1.50!!! This zoo is literally Huge! There's a chair lift which takes you up to the other half of it, it's that big!! Obviously we went to Berlin zoo a few days before so we wasn't that bothered about seeing everything we just tried to see things which we didn't see there! Which were, polar bears, crocodiles, Galapagos turtles, lions, camels, fruit bats, Lemurs and a few more! </span></div>

Lunch here is also really cheap too! We each has a panini and a slush puppy and it came to about £5 for the both of us! There's an option to pre pay to feed the giraffes, I highly reccomend doing this as it looked SO good! Unfortunately we didn't realise that you could do it until we saw people doing it, in which time we was too late! I, not sure if you can feed anything else, but it's definitely worth a look!</div>

We was In the zoo for a good few hours (going up and down the fun chair lift mostly!) and after seeing everything we wanted we decided to head back so we could go and see Prague castle. We got off the train a stop earlier and walked to it from there. The walk up is quite long (and were both really unfit) so we stopped half way In a little cafe and had a drink! When we got up there the view was incredible! You could see so much! I literally just couldn't stop taking photos because the view was so good!</div>

Once we were finished exploring we started heading back down the castle where got some more fried cheese (it's literally the best thing!) and began to walk on the lake to get back to go over the bridge! As we walked back we saw a wedding going on and decided to just sit on the rocks by the lake for a while!</div>

After dinner we wanted to walk our food off a bit before we headed back so we wandered around the square, brought some souvenirs and then decided to get a tredelzmik to take home! These are basically cinnamon puff pastry! You can get some with Nutella inside and ice cream, or fruit and even savoury ones with ham and cheese! We didn't realise and brought one from somewhere where they don't have fillings, but it was nice none the less! We then decided to walk home and pack for our train to Budapest! </div>

# 1 the only thing I can think of is Taxis. They can seriously rip you off if you get them straight from a rank so I advise just calling one instead as it will be a third of the price!</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Arriving in Berlin after a 6 and a half hour train journey from Amsterdam was bliss. Our train unfortunately had to stop at one stop before it was meant to terminate because of a fault on the line, so we ended up getting very very lost. A €120 fine, 2 trains and a tram later, we finally made it to our Air BnB in Friedrichshain.</span></div>

This post is going to be quite brief, as we managed to see most of the sights on the first day we were there, then on the second we went to the zoo<br />
<a name='more'></a>! But any ways.. After a bit of a rocky start to Berlin and realising that their tram/metro/bus systems are extremely confusing we decided to make an extremely detailed itinerary of what we were planning to do for the next few days to make sure we wouldn't get lost!</div>
</div>

One thing to make sure you do in Berlin, is carry change. Train station and tram station ticket machines only take change, no card or notes so this can be a massive pain at times, and also a lot of places charge you to go for the toilet (even some restaurants!) who also only accept coins. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Berlin is so easily accessible by foot, and this is where we went wrong. We assumed that you couldn't walk from place to place because there was so many modes of transport, but if you get off at Brandenburg Tor you can literally walk to the majority of monuments. We got the train to Potsdamer Platz, got off, got lost, wandered round, had lunch (currywurst!!!) and then got back on and went one stop to Brandenburg Tor and then from there explored. The Brandenburg gate is a stones throw away from this station and then Reichstag and the memorial of the murdered Jews of Europe are about a 2 minute maximum walk away from there. All of these sights are a definite must see if you're in Berlin, and are all free entry and some even offer tours! (Apparently the Reichstag tour is good, and the view from up the top is amazing!)</div>

We then headed to Alexanderplatz where there's high street shops and lots going on! Whilst we were here there was an African market going on which sold all sorts of food, clothing, furniture and more! This is also where we got more Curry wurst, (Wills favourite!) which is a Berlin speciality dish made of a</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sliced Sausage with ketchup and curry powder, it's not too bad actually! From around here you can walk to Frenshum tower, Berlin dom (cathedral) and the aquarium! We decided to visit the aquarium here, it was definitely a spontaneous idea, but not a bad one! We did end up going round it in about 25 minutes (mainly because we couldn't read the signs as they were in German haha!). But we had fun In the mirrored maze and after going through it about 5 times decided we were both getting very confused! The last thing we did in the aquarium was the Aqua Dom, This is a HUGE lift which goes up inside a fish tank for you to see all the little fishes! This was probably the coolest part of the aquarium and I actually really enjoyed this! I probably wouldn't recommend going here if you're under the age of 10 as it definitely is only for children really but whatever floats your boat! </div>

We loooooved the zoo! It was HUGE! It took us a good 4 hours to go around it and we also managed to see some animal feedings! If you're in Berlin I'd 100% recommend going here, as it's a fun day to spend my the sun and it's also In a really nice destination. After the zoo we walked through Tiergarten park which was looovely!</div>

Whilst walking through Tiergarten park we came across Cafe am neuen see. This is a cute little cafe by a river where you can rent out boats, eat food and drink alcohol (what could be better?). There's 2 restaurants around Lake Nuen see, one of them being more of a posh sit down dinner place and the other one being the cafe we went to. They sold deeeelicious pizza's which were stonebaked (the only way to have a pizza), sweet treats like cakes and things and then there was a bar!</div>

Once we got to Alexanderplatz, we headed straight for the <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Fernsehturm </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">tower. We knew we wanted to go up there straight away so brought tickets which were €13. The elevator takes 40 seconds to take you up to the highest point In the whole of Germany and the view is amazing! This is must see!!! We chilled up there at the bar for a few drinks, they offer cocktails, wine, beers, soft drinks and more! We both especially liked their flavoured beers! After drinks we went back down the elevator, brought some souvenirs from the shop downstairs and then headed to the cathedral just around the corner.</span></div>

We didn't actually end up going inside this as it was closed when we got there (it was probably too late in the day) but this cathedral is breathtaking! It's probably one of the prettiest and most overwhelming buildings I've seen In a while! I also love the way you can just sit on the grass outside it and chill!</div>

Things to avoid: </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#1 Public transport- If you can. It's quite confusing and they don't really have anyone on the platforms to ask for help! Also ALWAYS make sure you validate your ticket, as even if you buy a ticket, if you don't validate it (get it stamped on a yellow machine) it's deemed invalid so you'll get fined like we did- and they're very strict! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#2 There are some dodgy parts of Berlin - just like there are anywhere I suppose but I would avoid walking alone or In small groups at night, especially if you don't know the area! I'd recommend just just jumping In a cab.</div>

After a 4 hour train journey and a 1 hour delay at Antwerp we finally made it to Amsterdam! One thing to know about Amsterdam that I didn't before we arrived is that it's HUGE. Like really, really, really big. Whilst we was here we stayed at 2 hostels: one in central Amsterdam for one night, and one in the <br />
<a name='more'></a>countryside, about 30 minutes away from centraale station, for 2 nights.</div>

When we arrived at the station we was verrrry confused. We literally just went to the information desk and showed them the address of our hostel and they told us to get on a certain tram! There are trams EVERYWHERE in Amsterdam and they can be very confusing! I advise getting a tram map (from the station) or if you have google maps, to use that as it tells you everything you need to know, what platform, number tram and the stops of the tram you need to take. Also I decided to look up routes when I had wifi and screenshot them to keep on my phone!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When we arrived at our hostel- <a href="http://www.hotelnothotel.com/" target="_blank">Hotel not Hotel</a>, everything was perfect. We booked a 'secret bookcase room' which was just up the stairs on the right. This hostel has so many cool rooms, they have Amsterdam tram cart rooms, crows nest rooms and more. The room was quite small but we expected it, and it was only for one night so all was good! We then just unpacked our bags and went downstairs to the Kevin bacon cafe in the hostel, for a well earned drink!</div>

We then decided to head off into central Amsterdam and got on a number 7 tram. We didn't actually know where to get off I think we just guessed, as everywhere basically looks the same! We spent a few hours just wandering around, trying to find our bearings in Dam Square. We probably walked around in a circle about 3 times before realising - so yeah this city can be extremely confusing! There's a high street off of the square which has shops like Urban Outfitters, Pull and Bear and Forever 21 and souvenir shops and things!</div>

We then got some dinner in a little Italian restaurant around the city (somewhere, don't know where haha!) and it was lovely! After that we just wandered around and tried to find the red light district, we walked around there and then decided to try and find our way home in time to get another drink at the bar in our hostel. </div>

We went on a tram to centraale station and then from there we took the metro to Hollendrecht station and was picked up by the <a href="http://www.luckylake.nl/" target="_blank">lucky lake </a>shuttle bus!</div>

I LOVE this hostel!!! Everything was so lovely for the 2 days we were there, it was a nice break away from the city! However, we actually found it easier to get to central Amsterdam from here, than the last hostel. It was literally the easiest journey ever, just one train from Hollendrecht to Centraale.</div>

After settling in we decided to go and explore the area, so we headed for the lake. The hostel give you a welcome pack which has recommendations of where they think are the best places to go by the lake and the nearest village to the hostel, Abcoude and In Amsterdam city. The lake is so so so amazing! There's different. Parts of it like a beach part, and parts where you can rent boats or go on boat rides. You also have the option to rent a kayak or go paddle boarding with the hostel! I really really wish we had done this, but we just ran out of time, we will 100% do this next time!<br />

After we walked around the lake we then went back to the hostel and decided to rent a bike from there (€1.50 /hour) and cycle to the nearest village, Abcoude. This was probably my favourite part of the trip so far.. We were cycling through the countryside around all types of animals on farms and it was amazing! It took around 15 minutes to cycle there and we stopped at a supermarket to get some pizzas to cook for dinner. We also decided to get some food for lunch to stop and eat on the way back! </div>

Once we cycled back from the lovely village we cooked our pizzas and chilled for the rest of the night! There are so many comfy places to sit around the hostel, my personal faves were the hammocks and the huge bean bags. They also have a cinema where you can rent out any film you want and watch it in the cinema caravan!</div>

The next morning we woke up early to go into Amsterdam City. We made sure to make a very detailed itinerary the night before of things we wanted to do and tram lines we needed to take to get from one place to another so we wouldn't get lost - again! We started off by going to the sex museum just over the road from Centraale station. Entry was $4 each person! This was actually really interesting (and quite funny), I probably wouldn't go again because I've seen it now and it's not big enough to need to go again but if you're in Amsterdam and fancy going - why not?</div>

We then decided we wanted lunch so hopped on the metro to Amsterdam Amstel and then got a tram to c<a href="http://ctamsterdam.nl/" target="_blank">offee and coconuts cafe</a>. This is a suuuuuper cute breakfast/lunch cafe. Will chose the burger and a Thai Thai beer and I chose the scrambled eggs and avo with a lemon water and it was delish!!! They also have really nice places to sit here, it's over 3 stories and you can sit on chairs, benches, bean bags and hanging chairs - your choice!</div>

After stuffing our faces with yummy food we caught a tram to museumplein where the iamsterdam sign is! I didn't actually expect it to be what it was like, it was pretty big! There's lots of little cafes and souvenir shops around here and there's also a tickets and tours shop where you can buy tickets to things for a discounted price like Madame Tussaud's, Van Gogh museum, body works and more. This is where we decided to book tickets to the Ice Bar! </div>

We had a few hours to wait before we needed to be at the ice bar, so we decide to go to Vondelpark and have a wander! You can either get back on a tram and go one stop or you can walk! This park is a definite must see if you're in Amsterdam, it's so pretty and there's lots of different cafés to stop in and have a drink! Whilst you're in there it kinda makes you forget that you're in a busy city like Amsterdam!</div>

We then walked to the ice bar from here, it looks reeeeallly far on the map but it's actually not! This is probably where we realised Amsterdam is walkable and it's not always necessary that you get trams or trains! Also we found that walking made us actually see more of the city, as we kinda felt like the only thing we was seeing was the inside of trams/trains. Ice bar was really good! It was only €15 for entry and 3 free drinks. The drinks inside were either shots of flavoured vodka or beer (which was rather annoying because I don't particularly like either) but it was still a really nice experience! We didn't stay the whole time because we was literally so cold as we had summer clothes on but we stayed long enough to have drinks and wander round. </div>

After this we decided to go back to centraale station and catch the train back to our hostel as we wanted to have dinner in the nearest village, Abcoude. We cycled there with the hostels bikes and stopped at a restaurant they recommended called De Eendracht. The food was so so yum! We shared the charcuterie board to start which came with pickles and various salamis, and then for main we both chose the cote de boeuf with peppercorn sauce and chips and asparagus as sides! We then decided to cycle back before it got dark!</div>

Things to avoid: </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- bikes.. I'm not really sure why people go here and hire a bike in the city, as I'm so sure that if I did I would've been run over by something.. There's so many lanes and cars, trams, bikes and buses all basically use the same lane. So yeah if you're not a pro cyclist I'd probably avoid hiring a bike in central! (In the countryside it's lovely!)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- eating in central places - as with everywhere, eating in central places can get pricey, and also we found that especially in Amsterdam the food is actually nicer the further you go out of the main parts! </div>

Hey guys! Some of you may or may not know that I'm currently travelling around Europe! Travel bug got the best of me so I just decided to take the plunge and book everything! I'm going to 7 destinations and have about 3 days in each place and Brugge is my first destination! </div>

My boyfriend and I woke up at the dreaded time of 5am to get the Eurostar from St Pancreas to Brussels and then Brussels to Brugge and from the moment we got there to the moment we left, we loved it. It is extremely hard not to get lost here, but what's travelling without getting lost?- am I right? We explored <br />
<a name='more'></a>the whole place by foot and managed to see everything we wanted to see In less than 2 days!</div>

The one thing you have to do here is drink- I'm talking beer. I'm not a big beer drinker myself so I tended to go for the more fruity ones and my favourites were peach, raspberry and cherry!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We arrived at our Air BnB a little earlier than expected (even though we got lost for about an hour) so once we found it we decided to get a drink somewhere nearby. We found a pub called Volkscafe St.Jakobs and it sold THE nicest peach beer ever!! The place isn't far from the market square, far enough away for it not to be busy with tourists but close close enough to walk in about 4 minutes. We actually went here a few times more cause we didn't manage to find the peach beer we had anywhere else In Brugge!</div>

After putting our bags down and freshening up we decided to head into market square and see what was going on. It was about 4pm at this point so we was just planning on going for a wander and some food. I would suggest getting a map from a tourist information centre (I know there's one in the train station) as you will definitely be needing it, google maps doesn't really work as well here haha. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you will realise how beautiful this place really is as soon as you walk into the square. It does actually look like a fairytale! With the huge belfry tower and the gothic houses with doorstep roof's everything just looks like something from a dream. After looking around we decided to try some chips from the green food vans outside the tower as they are said to sell extremely nice chips with lots of strange sauces (they were amazing). </div>

From here we decided to find the beer wall (priorities!) we walked past it a good few times without realising, but after finding it we decided to treat ourselves with a lovely beer each. We came back here a few times too, as they literally sold so many different types of beers and also their outside drinking area is one of the most photographed places in Brugge! Their menus are also hanging from the ceiling which was strange but I really liked it (not so good for short people like me). We firstly had just a drink each then we decided to get a taste tray which is €10 for 4 mini beers and 3 snacks. These were fab! You can choose from 3 different combinations: a light combi, a mix combi or a strong combi. We chose the mix as we both like different beers and it came with were one smooth one, one fruity one, a dark on and a triple smooth one that's only brewed during the full moon!for snacks it came with some nuts, a square of Brugge cheese and some mini salamis. We also went and brought another salami afterwards because it tasted so good!</div>

We then decided we should probably start exploring so went to look at some of the shops near the beer wall and found ourselves buying waffles on sticks! These were one of THE best waffles I've ever tasted! Even though they were quite hard to eat (more was on my clothes than me) but basically you pick your chocolate coating and then your topping. I chose milk chocolate with white and milk chocolate ball balls and Will chose white chocolate with marshmallows! </div>

For the rest of the day we pretty much found our bearings of places to prepare us for the next day which we knew was going to be super busy. After stopping for a few more drinks and trying to find somewhere to have some mussels and chips (Brugge signature dish) we asked the owner of our Air BnB and he recommended a restaurant called De Vlaamsche Pot, It wasn't that far away from the city centre, which we liked as it was less busy and more of a locals restaurant. We both had mussels with chips and it was loooovely! One thing that we did find is that the average price for mussels and chips is around €20-€25 euros. Sometimes it doesn't matter how far out you are from the city centre, price wise. Also if you are looking for a cheaper price you can find more restaurants near Minnewater Park! </div>

The next day we both woke up bright and early to catch the markets we were planning on going to! We firstly went to T'Zand and saw the food and flea market and then went over to Beursplein for the flower, fruit and veg market. This was really lovely. You get a chance to mingle with the locals and see how they live and also look at what food and things they offer outside the touristy parts. You can find Brugge market schedule here.</div>

When we got to Minnewater park, we were planning on having a picnic or something on the grass, but the weather wasn't as good as we hoped so instead we just walked around, saw lovers lake and then went to a restaurant and got a drink near by! This is where I tried mixed berries beer which was lush! This is probably one of my favourite places to eat/ drink in Brugge as its so so pretty. There's 4 restaurants and a few little shops next to the lake and horse and carriages go past every few minutes, it really does feel like you're in a fairytale! </div>

On our way back to the square we stopped off at the famous De haalve man for a drink of Brugse Zot which they brew themselves. This is also a beer museum but we decided not to go on that as we wasn't really that interested, however it was very busy! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We then began to conquer the Belfry tower! If you've seen the film In Bruges, this is the tower that Ken throws himself off in the film. it is incredibly high and the view is spectacular. I strongly recommend doing this if you're thinking about visiting Brugge! Even though it is a work out to get up there, it's worth it! Tickets are €8 for under 26's (you need proof of age) and €10 for everyone else. Also we accidentally but thankfully timed it so that when we got up there the clock striked 3pm so the bell chimed and it was amazing! You get to see all of the strings moving and the bell chiming (though, it's quite loud). After walking up all those thousands of steps we decided to reward ourselves with some chips and bitterballen (meat stuffed fried balls) from the carts outside the belfry. </div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We then decided to visit the Basilica of the Holy Blood just outside the square. This is a beautiful church which is said to hold something which contains the blood of Christ. Whilst we were there we didn't actually realise that you could go up and see it And when we did realise it had gone! There is also a trophy room in there which has various things in, it costs €2.50 to enter. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After this we decided to go on a lovely canal tour as we felt like we had seen everything else apart from the canals. For €8 each we hopped onto a boat with around 20 other tourists and did what we do best, take photos of everything. Even if it's nothing, exhibit A...</div>

This canal tour was really beautiful and the driver tells you the history of each building or landmark (in lots of different languages), you see Audrey Hepburn's house and also the hotel room in the film, In Bruges that Ray jumped out of onto the boat. This is especially good if your tired of walking around and want a break but don't want to waste time not seeing the sights!</div>

From here on we decided to find somewhere to eat and we walked back to Minnewater park and decided to eat here. We went to Minnewater Bistro and it was lovely! After this we headed back and had one last peach beer at our fave, Volkscafe St.Jakobs. Then we decided to go to an underground bar called, Le Trappiste where we both decided to do some more beer tasting. It was €10 for 5 choices of their draft beers and we chose: Gulden Draak-strong dark ale, 10.5%, Belle Vue Kriek-Cherry beer, 4.1%, La Chouffe-Special Blond, 8%, Malheur 6-Blond, 6% and Rodenbach-Old Flemish brown, 5%. This is where I realise I don't like blond beer, but Will does so it was all good! Also the strong dark ale was surprisingly very nice! The old Flemish brown was too and of course the cherry one was lovely! </div>

<b>Things to avoid: </b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- there are so many horse and carriages round the city to take tourists round to see things. We didn't actually go on one nor did we want to but people were telling us that they were €50 for half an hour and then you also were asked to "tip the horse" (strange but..) I personally wouldn't go on these because I don't feel it's fair on the horse to be lugging 6 people around in the heat, but also because I think it's a bit of a rip off and that Brugge is one of the places you should definitely explore by foot! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Eating in the square. Some restaurants around the square are reasonably priced however some are ridiculous! I would probably suggest avoiding the majority of restaurants around here, or at least taking a look at the prices before sitting down if you don't want to end up with a hefty bill at the end.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whenever I go shopping in a <a href="http://www.salon-services.com/" target="_blank">Salon Services</a> (Sally's) I literally loose my shiz. They just sell sooo many products and It overwhelms me so much I end up spending about 2 hours in there, just choosing a shampoo and conditioner (my life is exciting). This time when I went to buy some goodies I came across a new (for me) brand that they now do called <a href="http://marianila.com/gb/" target="_blank">Maria Nila.</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maria Nila are a Sweedish company who have their own production plant in Helsingborg, where they develop and manufacture every single one of their products. They offer a huge range of shampoo's and conditioners for all types of hair and have done for the last 40 years. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Their philosophy is to produce the best product possible without compromising the hairs' health or the environment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://marianila.com/gb/about/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">"</span><span style="font-family: ProximaNova; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">We are happy to announce our registration with Leaping Bunny, </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">PETA </span><span style="color: #c27ba0;">and</span><span style="color: #38761d;"> The Vegan Society!</span><span style="color: #c27ba0;"> Our goal is to always strive for more environmentally friendly products."</span></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of these products have SUCH lovely packaging. They are each different colour depending on what they do, for example; the light pink ones are for coloured hair, green are for hair that needs to be repaired etc. The design on the bottle is nice and simple, yet pretty. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"This luminating shampoo for coloured hair that rebuilds and strengthens the hair structure, giving your clients, softer and stronger hair no matter how often it's styled."</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Both of these products are perfect to take on holiday, especially if you have freshly dyed hair and </span>don't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> want it to fade whilst you're in the pool or sea or just generally exposed to the sun. It does a really good job in rehydrating hair colour that needs it either because it has been exposed to too much heat or washed too much or even if its just naturally faded a little. It gives the colour a boost. It also it helps hold hair colour much much more than usual, I find that when I use this less hair dye comes off on the towel after I wash my hair than usual! This product also contains zero sulphates and parabens in! Score :).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is so good in the fact that my hair gets extremely knotty if I wash it and don't condition it, and when I use this I notice a huge difference when it comes to actually brushing it! Obviously like every other conditioner, this does the job of making your hair feel lovely and smoothe after washing, but, this conditioner actually makes a huge difference in comparison to others. It doesn't feel super heavy on your hair or weigh it down, it literally gives you that post-hairdresser hair feeling! You know the one.. perfectly smooth hair which flows lovely, styles lovely and ALWAYS looks brushed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Both of these products, In my opinion, are fab. Its not often you can find a good shampoo and conditioner duo which have no sulphates, parabens, harsh ingredients, is vegan and cruelty free AND is sold in an easily accessible shop AND in travel size. (That was a mouthful). I would 100% re-purchase these, I'm actually going to take them travelling with me this summer, as they're not easy and won't weigh down my backpack, and they aren't crappy for my hair, which will definitely be needing some TLC.</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I actually own some of these products in full size, different types and I am hoping to try </span>these other goodies from their colour care range<span style="font-family: inherit;"> soon; </span></span></div>

As it's coming to summer I thought I'd do a post letting you all know which suntan lotions are cruelty free. A few weeks ago when I was going on holiday, It didn't even cross my mind that the majority of well known suntan lotions aren't cruelty free.. but heres a list of a few that are easily purchasable!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<h1 style="margin: 0px; text-align: center; width: 450px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> Cheapest:</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Solait/Solait-Tan-Activating-Lotion-SPF15-200ml/p/833860" target="_blank">Solait Tan Activating Lotion </a>:</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: xx-small;">CRUELTY FREE.</span></span></span></h1>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79;"><br></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">This is a really good suntan lotion. It also smells really nice! I know they do this in squeezy bottles online but In store they do it in spray bottles too, which I think are much easier to use. This product is found in factors 10-15 and its waterproof so you can go in and out the water and it will still protect you! Also some of their products are tan activating so they will boost your tan whilst trying to get you one, bonus!! You can buy this in any super drug store! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Average:</b> <a href="http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/jason-sunbrellas-facial-natural-sunblock-spf20-60075789" target="_blank">JASON Sunbrellas Sunblock </a>:<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span><b><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: xx-small;">CRUELTY FREE.</span> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><br></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This comes in all different types including ones for kids, family and one for your face. They range from factors 20-45. This is a grease free lotion, which I love as I just hate being sticky from suncream, especially on the beach as sand just gets<span style="font-family: inherit;"> everywhere! However these aren't waterproof so once you go in the water you'll need to re-apply it again all over, which is one thing I dislike about them as I'm always in and out of the water so its quite a pain! All of these products are also oil-free and </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Hypoallergenic & Non-Comedogenic. These products are sold online and in store in Holland and Barrett!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">I do really love Neals Yard products, however the student life cannot justify the pricesso I only end up getting new products from here on Christmases and Birthdays haha (sad times!) but their products are really really nice. I understand they are expensive but at the same time you know they don't contain any ingredients that are bad for or harsh on your skin/hair and it is all organic, vegetarian and cruelty free. Their sun lotions come in squeezy bottles and come in factors 15-50. Their body ones are all Lemongrass scent and their facial ones are Wild Rose. These are also all water resistant so they won't move all day no mater what you do! also meaning you will in turn, use less product!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The list of good cruelty-free sun lotions will hopefully start growing soon but for now these are the ones I recommend to use this summer, I know I will definitely be re-purchasing some of these!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This smells like a dream!! One of the things I ALWAYS have to carry in my bag is hand sanitiser. This one is literally the most amazing one I've tried (scent wise). One of the things I don't like about normal hand sanitiser is the smell it leaves on your hands- I tend to bite my nails too so when I do I can just taste gross hand sanitiser! I didn't actually know they even made scented hand sanitisers until I saw the body shop ones! They also sell a satsuma one, pink grapefruit one, mango, absinthe and strawberry (I kinda wanna try the pink grapefruit one aswell). This is the perfect little size to just pop in your handbag to give your hands a refresh whenever needed</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After purchasing this lipstick around a year ago I went completely off the colour and just threw it to the bottom of my makeup draw. But recently on holiday I re-discovered it and I am really loving pairing it with a natural look! I don't normally like pinkish lipsticks but this has been my holiday favourite! Kiko are one of my favourite cruelty free brands for lipsticks as I just think their makeup overall is so good yet so affordable, I literally recommend it to everyone! Also these lipsticks are one of the only not-matte lipsticks that I like the consistency of. They're not too creamy, they're literally perfect. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This came in my March Love Lula beauty box and I honestly didn't know what to think. I opened it up and looked inside and I cant say its the most pleasant colour or consistency haha. I then looked at the ingredients, which only said ‘balneological peat’ so I'm literally thinking what is in this? I actually really love this trying it out, It made my skin felt dramatically different. A full blog post on this is going live in a few days! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">They don't actually sell this anymore, It must've been discontinued for some reason. But i've been after a transparent eyebrow gel for a looooong time.

The bristles are just the right size to brush my eyebrow hair through with and remove any excess or unwanted product after I've drawn them on!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is the newest mascara Kiko have brought out which is in their new 'wanderlust' collection. I really like the coral- gold tinged <span style="font-family: inherit;">packaging the whole collection has. "</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The formula’s ingredients instantly create a thick sheath that envelops, adds volume and helps to protect the lashes from base to tip. The thick, creamy texture doesn't clump, applies easily and is adjustable." I also picked up other things from the collection whilst I was shopping so will be doing a full review at a later date!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For some reason they don't sell this colour anymore but they sell various other ones (I've put in the link above). I am literally in love with velvet lipgloss'. My post about the MUA nude colour one I purchased shows how much I love them. They just stay on all day, they feel amazing to apply and are so easy to apply. There's no need for lip liner and the matte effect is just perfect - not too much but just enough.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I received a mini sample of this when I used to subscribe to Birchbox and from then on I've used some sort of detangling spray on my hair every time I've washed it. You can definitely tell this product makes a difference when you use it as it also counteracts as a leave in conditioner so makes your hair feel super soft. It's also paraben and sulphate free so is good for your hair!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is another little gem which came in one of my Love Lula beauty box's. It's supposed to be for nighttime use, as it smells of chamomile which is supposed to send you back to sleep but I like to use it whenever basically. For some reason I just love the shape of it and how it feels like a pencil in your hand, It is also super creamy so when your lips are feeling dry it will sort them right out. </span></div>

It saves you buying all different lip liner colours, you basically just need this one! Also it's so handy for people like me who haven't got a very steady hand when it comes to applying lipstick because you can just go around your lips with this and it doesn't matter how neat you are because its transparent!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">These two primers are both my favourite primers to date- however I find it extremely hard to decide which one to wear underneath my makeup as they're both pretty much awesome. These are both for oily skin peeps as they leave a matte finish, so I strongly avoid you staying away from them if you suffer from dry skin! I would say that the Becca one is for seriously oily skin and the Illamasqua for a little less oily.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a really strange product that needs to be properly applied or it makes your face look like you have dried toothpaste all over it (it happened one time haha). I advise to follow the instructions that come with it which are to squeeze a pea sized amount into your fingers, Veilhen rub them together with your other fingers to heat up the product and make it workable. Then you need to pat it lightly onto the areas of your face you want it and it literally creates a matte film for your foundation to go on! you can use this before or after your foundation or even use it on its own, I like to use it under my foundation and also as an eye primer for my eyeshadow to stick to! One of the things I'm not keen on about this product is that it doesn't actually minimise all of my pores; and my pores are quite bad. I find that it soothes my pores over however it doesn't do anything to make them look like they're not there, especially the ones in the crease of my nose. Which is a bummer :( This is one of THE best primers I've ever tried and using this on my chin and forehead makes natural oils stay in my face for hours instead of coming out and making my foundation come off and look awful. So if you're desperately looking for something to control your excess oil then this is absolutely the product you should try as it will 99.9% work!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This product is a little easier to work with but bit fiddly to actually get out. To use it you need to use the little spoon provided (so cute) and spoon a few spoonfuls onto your hand and apply using a brush or your fingers. I prefer to apply primer using my fingers as I find with mattiftying primers they don't work very well with a brush application. This is a gel formula which feels very liquidy when you first put it on your skin, when I first put it on I didn't think it would matte my skin because of the texture of it but to my surprise it did, instantly. For me, this done a better job of smoothing over my pores and making them look less visible. I'm not sure why but for pore minimising this is a treat! I would say that this primer is aimed at for people with oily/combination skin as it does matte your face in preparation for your foundation but not to the extent where your skin may feel dry. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #494646;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #494646; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Both of these products do an awesome job on oily skin and matte your skin all day meaning you don't have to worry about oil taking over your makeup! These products are also very similar in what they do but differ in other ways. If you're someone who does their makeup in a hurry (me) I would probably suggest the matte veil because you literally have to put a bit on your face, rub it in and it instantly dries. Whereas the Becca primer takes a lot of work to apply as if you don't do it right it can mess up your whole face. If you are thinking of purchasing either one of these I would suggest testing them out before hand and seeing which one suits your face better, as It's quite a lot of money to spend on something which you may not like! Also, ingredient wise the Illamasqua primer has an ingredient in it called 'Alcohol Denat' and this is not the best thing for your skin- the ingredient is second on the list which means there is a high percentage of it in the product. I probably wouldn't use this as an every day primer because of that ingredient, as in high volumes it is really damaging for your skin. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Personally I didn't actually know that half of these companies were owned by Johnson & Johnsons and tested on animals! Ive actually used quite a few of these products before not knowing this information! The brands that shock me the most are Aveeno, Clean and Clear, Johnson's, Listerine, Neutrogena, Piz Buin and Savlon. I really just didn't expect these brands especially to test on animals.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These are a list of all of the makeup brands in Superdrug and what their policies are on animal testing and if they are vegan! Some of them are cruelty free but sell in China, some don't and some do test on animals. Hopefully this list will make things a lot easier when it comes to drugstore makeup shopping for some people!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Quick reminder: The leaping bunny logo (below) certifies that the product has been named 'cruelty free' under the </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">internationally recognised Humane Cosmetics/Humane Household Products Standards and means that the product has not been tested on animals in the UK or anywhere else in </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">the world (including sales in China).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In my point of view; If a company truly doesn't believe in animal testing then regardless of profit or any other element then it should not sell to China. China have a law in their country that no products are allowed to be sold there unless they are tested on animals, however Chinese citizens can purchase from online sites which sell makeup which has not been tested on animals. Just because a product hasn't been tested on an animal does </span><u style="font-family: inherit;">not</u><span style="font-family: inherit;"> mean that its not safe. There are many ways now for humans to check if a product is safe other than using an animal to do so- one of these methods being testing products on human skin donated from plastic surgery.</span></div>
