Featured Items
Vivre Active Power Grip Yoga Towel
My favourite yoga towel thus far! My hands and knees can get pretty sweaty during my practice so the quick dry microfiber surface really helps to manage the moisture, keeping me focused. The silicon beads underneath keep the yoga towel firmly grounded especially for jumpbacks and lifted movements. The towel comes in 7 different colours. Mine is in Medieval Blue! Get it here.
Lookfantastic Indulge Me Box
This was Lookfantastic’s tenth Beauty Box of 2017 . Every box comes with a nice pick-me-up quote or saying on the inside of the cover. This one said “Nourish to Flourish” which really resonates with me. I truly believe that taking care of yourself both physically, mentally and spiritually will allow you to thrive. I absolutely love how uplifting each of these boxes are. Every box also comes with an ELLE magazine and products worth over £60 - talk about value!
Ciaté London's WONDERWAND Mascara
This mascara can be used for both a daytime and nighttime look. The formula for this is not clumpy at all, even when I load on a little extra for a night out. The brush works well in giving my natural lashes a nice lift and separates them evenly. I also love that it comes in a travel size which is perfect for carrying around in a purse. The design features a reflective silver surface with little stars that will add a festive feel to any makeup routine!
ModelCo Instant Radiance Concealer
This concealer comes in a twist pen applicator format. I found the formula of this concealer pretty thick so it’s important to control how much is applied. A little definitely goes a long way. I preferred using it as a highlighter since it was a little light for my skin tone but those who have a lighter skin tone could probably use this as underage concealer to brighten up dark circles. I would definitely recommend setting it with some loose powder.
ZoomZ Sidecar Tours
Jaipur is known as the Pink City. A look at the buildings within the historic centre would explain this. The walls feature a terracotta “pink” colour with few exceptions. The bustling streets are beautifully juxtaposed against this uniform colour scheme. Having visited this city four times now, I find the perfect way to explore Jaipur is by with ZoomZ vintage sidecar tours! Find out more here.
Jaigarh Fort
Jaigarh Fort is situated on the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) peninsula of the Aravalli range. It overlooks the Amber Fort and the Maota Lake in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The fort was built by Jai Singh II in 1726 to protect the Amber Fort and its accompanying palace. ZoomZ sidecar tours offers affordable add-ons to include visiting the fort in your adventure!

Masala Chai
We had the best Masala Chai at Tapri, a famous chain of quaint cafes serving food inspired by local street delights. Tapri is a term used locally to describe a shanty tea stall located at the corner of a street. Here's how you can try making this special spiced milk tea at home:
- Grind cardamom, cinnamon stick, fennel seeds and peppercorns together with mortar and pestle or coffee/spice grinder.
- Bring milk just to a simmer in a saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, spice mixture from step 1, ginger, and a sprinkle of salt to taste. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Make black tea of your choice and pour tea through a fine mesh sieve into the milk mixture from step 2.
