Travel – Cornwall – Orchard Cottage Tour

May 31, 2019

Cornwall is one of my favourite places to visit. Its a haven of beaches, harbours, boats, Cornish ice-creams and relaxation. 💛 It will always have a place in my heart and I will never tire of going on holiday there. Last year [around this time to be exact] Jacob and myself took the train down … More Travel – Cornwall – Orchard Cottage Tour

Instagram post 2192239161511413693_1457867557 Polish facemark haul. 🇵🇱 I went mad back in June and filled my suitcase right up. Adding to my already overflowing face mask box back home. I will be doing more skincare posts very soon on the grid. I’ve got lots to talk about and show you lot. ✨ Let’s get our glow on sis.
.
.

Instagram post 2191406142990990228_1457867557 Happy Wednesday bloggers! Did you know you can see more from this brand over on my blog? 🧡 @bangandstrike .
.
Jacob and I were kindly gifted a set each from their luxury collection to give our thoughts 💭 on them. We featured the ‘Strike Pro Emboss Sport Brief’ in colours: Alloy & Forest.
.
.
A great gift idea for that special guy in your life. 📦 🍊 Plus they arrive all smart is a lush orange box. Brilliant! Check my grid to find them.
.
.
I’m off to work today to hold the fort whilst I do some blogging and social media organisation. How’s your week looking! 💛
Instagram post 2189944289903428379_1457867557 Too cute not to share! Mind you everything Jacob and I tasted was awful. 💕 Happy Monday you lot. What are you up to today? 💖 We got these in a store in London, I cannot remember the name of it though! 😗
.
.
New blog posts are live over on my blog! Lots to read, come check it babes! 💞
Instagram post 2189878136418057649_1457867557 Let’s kick off Monday with the opposite of what everyone else is trending. Jacob and I have been looking at holiday for the summer. ☀️ .
.
We are planning a beach 🏖 holiday with some sun, speedos, sand & sea. Eating lots of watermelon 🍉, wearing tonnes of spf and feeling cute.
.
.
We are missing the summer and not a fan of these early dark evenings! Makes it super hard to take any nice photos after work! 😩
.
.
Wearing @shinestythreads ball hammocks and kimono - which were kindly gifted. You can read exactly what we thought of these pieces over on my blog. Just follow me over through the link in my bio. 🧡
Instagram post 2189201574102213979_1457867557 These words are so true. We often forget how far we’ve already overcome something that causes us to struggle, or has impacted our lives. We need to remember what’s to come, will come and understand what has happened, has already happened. Learn to enjoy where you are now, with those who surround you with love.
.
.
I’m in a place that I can truly say, I’m living my life now. I still get stressful days, days of anxiety, but I’m not letting it take a control of each day. Life really is so short. Love who you love [hey baby @beautyantidote 💕], sing each day, smile at the world and cherish the times you have with those who are closest to you!
.
.
Jacob and I remind ourselves each day and share our thanks for having each other in our lives! Even when we have squabbles about silly things. 👏🏼
.
.
Do as well come check out my blog if you are after a good chuckle and something to read today. 📍Link is in my bio!
Instagram post 2188597199063321859_1457867557 New posts live over on my blog! So why you just sitting around then hun?
.
.
Here I am in Poland 🇵🇱 waiting for the bus 🚌. Good fun shooting this with my favourite human @beautyantidote ✌🏼 Go send him some love 💕 - Happy Saturday babes!
.

Outfit by - @regulationstore 🖤
Instagram post 2188081007798152499_1457867557 [AD] - Let’s get up, close and personal to the luxury brand @bangandstrike 🧡 - huge shoutout to the team for sending Jacob and myself some matching undies. .
.
We both spend a lot of our time at home, whether that is relaxing together, writing ✍🏼, playing video games, or reading. So it’s important for us to be comfortable whilst we are here.
.
.
I’ve done a full review over on my blog about @bangandstrike on what we thought about them. ✌🏼 Follow the link in my bio and come read won’t ya! 🧡
.
.
*Disclaimer - Undies kindly sent by @bangandstrike but thoughts regarding them are our own.
Instagram post 2185548779763307943_1457867557 Hey skin junkies, let’s talk about @stefaniegiesinger MOŃ beauty concentrate capsules. 💛 Super excited to try this as they’ve been sitting in my skincare drawer for ages. Are they cute! ✨
.
.
Picked this up in Prague in the supermarket: DM 🛒 MOŃ by @stefaniegiesinger is affordable luxury. Fun fact, she was the winner of the 9th season of Germany’s Next Top Model.
.
.
I’m interested to see what impact these little capsules make to my complexion and I’ll be sure to let you all know my thoughts on them. They say they intensely moisturise and provide a radiant glow to the skin. 👏🏼My first impression is how premium they look. ✨ The minimal packaging, colour palette and noticeable gold particles that sparkle in the light already have me hooked!
Instagram post 2184911441588676267_1457867557 Summer is only a distant memory, but at least it’s a cute one! We were wearing swim briefs available at @supergayunderwear 💛 - ‘Poolside Boys’ blog post is live on the blog! 📍Follow the link in my bio!
.
.
We spend a lot of energy ensuring our safety whilst we live in LDN. So, for one week on holiday, hidden in the countryside, we didn’t need to worry so much. We travelled to Poland 🇵🇱 to have a break from the big city life.
.
.
We are grateful to live in a time where we aren’t desperately trying to hide ourselves and steal moments together. But we are actively vigilant to ensure we can be able to spend the rest of our lives together. He’s my favourite human! 💞
.
.
*Disclaimer - swim trunks gifted by @supergayunderwear - all thoughts on my blog are entirely my own.
Instagram post 2184182517405801099_1457867557 Happy Sunday babes! 🖤 What’s everyone up to today? ☀️ - Come read my blog post on my @regulationstore set.
.
.
Life’s too short to be waiting at the bus stop. Follow the link in the bio 🖤✨- there are loads of new live posts available to read. I’m looking forward to finishing work and playing some Fallout 4 on my PlayStation!
Instagram post 2184123044305586752_1457867557 Teas from Poland. I’m a bit of a tea fanatic and always love finding unusual fruit teas. Herbata means tea 🌿☕️ - Poland has some brilliant choices of teas to choose from and the best part is that they were so affordable. My favourite is the passion fruit one, it actually tastes as good as it smells. I’d probably say the mandarin black Ceylon tea is my next fave!
.
.
We are heading back to Poland for Christmas this year. So I am going to make sure I’ve got plenty of room for more to travel back with me.
Instagram post 2183362507670186364_1457867557 [AD] - I love you cause you’re weird like me Jacob 💞. Come check out a new blog post that is live now on my blog. Just follow the link in my bio!
.
.
We talk again all things ‘comfortable underwear’ in it and feature our friends over at @shinestythreads 🤙🏼 - go check them out!
.
.
I’ve written honestly about these little blue gems, but they seriously are comfortable. 🍋🍊Even for someone who’s battling IBS, gluten intolerance and bloating. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Giving me life!
.
.
To be honest I had this cool still life, serious mood, fruit concept idea. 🍋🍊 Call it a fruit shoot (no affiliation) if you would. But I haven’t got a clue what happened... we just ended up using all of the out takes.
Instagram post 2182687102093040053_1457867557 Looking forward to heading back to @afterbeautyofficial next week! 💕 Going to have a facial treatment which I’ll put up in the stories and do a little bit of shopping with my Jacob @beautyantidote 💞 .
.
With 3 floors to shop and get cuter on, it’s worth a visit!! The atmosphere is warm, fun and comfortable. 💛Perfect for any shoppers who get anxious! .
.
Located in Picaddily, LDN. It’s the new beauty playground everyone needs the visit. ☝🏼 Let’s chat skincare, what brands are you obsessed with?
Instagram post 2182240619238091210_1457867557 I took Jacob during the summer down a side street in Covent Garden [easy you lot! 👀]. To try and find this little shop that I had once stumbled across during my break at work. It’s a real gem! 💎 .
.
@bloomperfumery is an oasis in central LDN. 📍They specialise in the unusual perfumes and scents that honestly, last for days. They don’t hold the conventional names, but those that are independent, bespoke and truly unique. I’m talking the smell of storm drains and fog. You can buy and even create your own perfume.
.
.
I’ve decided that I am going to treat myself to one, once I’ve gotten through my current selection. My favourite currently is my ‘Nettle’ 🌿perfume by Jo Malone. What’s yours favourite scent?
Instagram post 2182157400211313957_1457867557 “Where is this bus?” 🚌 - New blog post is LIVE. Anyone else sitting and wondering where the hell the last few months have gone? I could swear it was summer like 3 weeks ago. .
.
Here is a little throwback to when Jacob helped me with a photoshoot in Poland. 🤙🏼 For my rubber bands that follow my gram and this content. I wanted to use a bus stop as the location for my shoot. So we headed out to find one. Was great fun and hilarious seeing people’s reactions. “Don’t mind me babes, I’m just waiting for the bus to take me to Pride!” It was also super fucking hot that day☀️
.
.
Come read my blog post as I featured this rubber/latex set by @regulationstore in LDN. 🖤 Looking at getting the red trimmed set next.
Instagram post 2181546617878138827_1457867557 Hey babes ✌🏼 💛 Happy Wednesday! Firstly how fucking great is this elevator! 🐻💞
.
.
So yesterday I attended the new @afterbeautyofficial store in Piccadilly, LDN. 📍 I was there on some work related business, but it was so good to get up to see this incredible new beauty playground.
.
.
OMG 🧡 All I can say is how welcoming and warm the whole store is. From the shop itself and to the lovely team inside. 🛍 Every part of the shop is so photogenic and the aesthetics are so cool. Not to mention how many beauty/cosmetic products line those shelves ever so neatly. 🧴 It’s a total 180’C from other established beauty stores that have that hostile atmosphere.
.
.
I’m heading back next week to visit again and looking forward to picking up my pink basket to go shopping! 💛✌🏼 Hoping to be able to bring Jacob along with me this time around.
.
.
All I can say is watch my gram you guys! Because there is a tonne of skincare related content coming up!
.
.
For outfit details tap the picture! 👆🏼
Instagram post 2179746949212988399_1457867557 [AD] - Here we are living our best life eating watermelon and thinking of where we want to holiday next year. 🏖 We are thinking beach vacation this time hun!
.
.
Of course this is totally staged Linda and the watermelon 🍉 had gone all chalky! How ghastly. But we wanted to share our undies by @shinestythreads .
.
We’ve featured the Ball Hammocks before but in a different print. There is however a full blog post reviewing these on my blog, should you want to find out more. Just jump on over to the main page and follow the link in my bio. I’d love for you guys to all read it! ✌🏼🌈 - Happy Monday you lot too!

Instagram post 2179182965254659760_1457867557 Pokemon booster packs were a huge part of my childhood and they are still going strong today? I remember the excited of going through your set to see if you found a shiny card. *My lovely friend @nmoyler got me this booster pack ✌🏼
.
.
I’m currently playing Pokemon X on my 3DS for the first time, so I’ve a lot to catch up on. I’m so many generations and regions behind! 💛 It is super fun being able to enjoy everything though. 🤙🏼 Did anyone else get teased for liking Pokemon as a kid?
.
.
I’ve got a question for everyone. What was your favourite Pokemon from each region, up to Pokemon Black & White? Send me a message.

Instagram post 2164703564089728615_1457867557 Hey babes - here’s to the new week ahead of us and I’m now travelling to visit my parents down in the countryside. Leaving my awesome polish family (Jacob and his gorgeous mum) in London whilst I have a flying visit for a couple of days.
.
.
This is my favourite photo of the two of them (Jacob and his mum) 💛 - It was taken at Jacob’s graduation👨🏼‍🎓 and sits proudly in the living room. .
.
I like to look at it when i’m home alone to see the wonderful people who took me into their lives and home. It’s coming up 2 years since we’ve all lived together and it’s been marvellous!
.
.
Candle by @jamespatrick.london 🖤 - check him out because the candles are as fabulous as James himself. 🕯✨ Eco-friendly, vegan and sustainable ♻️🙌🏼
Instagram post 2164501397613358281_1457867557 Hey my little runway model. Isn’t he just lovely! Holding my cup of coffee too! 🙆🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️💕 - Here is us, plus Mamo Hanczyk [who’s left us to find her seat], heading to Poland back in the summer. Anyone else miss the summer months. ☀️ You can check out our adventure in Poland 🇵🇱 over on my blog post. It covers the whole trip with lots of fun photos. Just follow the link in my bio!
.
.
Jacob and I are looking to book our next getaway with each other. ✈️ This time we are after some sun, sand and sea. We are more after a 🏖 beach holiday, than our usual city breaks. Have you got any recommendations? We literally want to do nothing but eat, relax and swim. ✌🏼
Instagram post 2163950525384868210_1457867557 Jacob and I love a good find! Especially when we go thrifting at carboot sales. For those who aren’t familiar, they are like a garage/yard sale. But instead of going to people’s properties, you head to a massive field and everyone sets up a table or mat and sells their wares.
.
.
Jacob and his mum are AVID car-booters and love to go to them weekly. Since being with my lovely Jacob, I have experienced them loads and I LOVE them! I shall be putting together a carboot haul blog post and show you this year’s favourite finds and our experience.
.
.
As for this lovely bowl, Jacob decided a new fruit bowl was in order and stumbled across this lovely and simplistic design. We paid £4 for it. Such a nice find!
Instagram post 2163386540428179148_1457867557 Anyone else a ga(y)mer? I love getting stuck into a great video game. 🎮 Always appreciating the details, the storyline, character developments, environmental visuals and of course the soundtracks.
.
.
I actually write a lot of my content and copywriting jobs to video game soundtracks. It’s peaceful and easy to write too. My mind can string together what it needs to without the distractions of typical chart music with vocals.
.
.
I bought this awesome Nintendo 2DS XL at @gamedigital the beginning of this year. It was my way of saying well done for quitting that job where you were being bullied. I’d wanted one of the longest time and always held out.
I took advantage actually of Game’s ‘Elite Membership’ program to help collect and save points, which I can then spend in the store. Cute right? The bundle I got included the 3 games and the console. I went for the white and orange version.
.
.
I thought to myself how the last @pokemon game I played was Pokémon Black & White. That was years ago and I’ve got so many regions to catch up and explore. Taking my time and playing on and off to enjoy a little more. What is your favourite Pokémon?
Instagram post 2161908343111145930_1457867557 Good evening lovelies! 💛 I’m throwing myself back into the blogging world after taking time off. I didn’t really mean to take so long off. But life caught up with me the past two months and I really didn’t want to come back into it if I’m honest.
.
.
I’m currently working multiple jobs and just finding it hard to juggle them all carefully. Balancing them and my personal life is challenging sometimes and I’ve enjoyed knocking off social media for the time being. But it was blogging that was my dream and I’d be stupid to let that goal disperse into nothing after already putting so much work into it. Anyone else get those moments?
.
.
So here I am contemplating the giant pile of ‘life’ I need to get organised. Let’s get back on it Tommy! What have I missed Instafamily? Fill me in!
.
.
Outfit:
Jumper - Carboot [reclaimed]
Bottoms - @aasssoxx.shop
Instagram post 2161673128799333386_1457867557 At the end of the summer this lovely individual drove all the way over to see me and Jacob for a visit. Cute right!
.
.
We headed out to explore and stumbled into a local summer market with stalls, music and food. The sun was blazing and we spent the day laughing and making memories with Jacob’s instax mini camera. Also went to @nandosuk and had some chicken!
.
.
I love it when a you spend the day with a good friend. So calming and so easy to catch up and also make some memories. Here’s to you Meggy! 💛 We love you! Let’s meet up again soon to arrange a longer stay hun!
Instagram post 2161664932525115748_1457867557 [AD] - Hey you lot! 👋🏼 Just like a beloved ex television soap opera character, I’m back! 🙋🏻‍♂️
.
.
Jumping in with some blog posts you might have missed, whilst I was taking some time away from posting. Here we have our review on these @shinestythreads boxer shorts. Which in a nutshell [excuse the pun hun] are quite lovely to wear. You can read the points on my blog post, just use the link in my bio to get yourself there! 🙋🏻‍♂️
.
.
Jacob and I have both recently caught a horrible cold the last two weeks. It knocked me out hard and I’ve been spending my days resting to fight off the infection. It’s not the nicest of colds out there, fluids and bed rest. 🍋🍯🌿 Lots of lemon, honey and ginger teas please! [and that awful Lemsip Max 😫😖🤢]
.
.
This was such a fun shoot to put together. I had an idea for a cute pillow fight. But the reality is, me having to use my inhaler due to the cloud of dust mites we upended into the room. .
.
*Disclaimer - Boxer shorts kindly gifted by @shinestythreads but all opinions are our own regarding them.
Instagram post 2124832251158326883_1457867557 Happy Tuesday!💛 Just thinking of the coast! 🏝 How is everyone enjoying the last few weeks of summer? I’ve been busy working over the weekend and making that coin. Feeling a little run down, maybe it was travelling on the London tube, or because the weather is shifting?
.
.
So this beach was in between Newlyn and Penzance. Newlyn sits on the hill with the little red and white lighthouse that you should be able to just make out by the docks. The whole ‘Travel - Cornwall’ series is live on my blog you guys and there are so many photos of our adventures. You’ll find:
- Where we stayed
- Some beaches
- A castle in the ocean
- A handmade Cornish tile shop
- Having a squabble at Lands End
There are are a number of blog posts waiting for you lot! Just follow the link in my bio and you’ll find them in the ‘Travel’ Category! 💛
.
.
Does anyone have a favourite spot in Cornwall? I’m lost on which one is mine? Currently, Mousehole I think! Which is just over the other side of the hill Newlyn sits on!
