Eurovison

A bit too late but these were my favourite songs from Eurovision 2017:

1. Hungary I didn't actually like it the first time in the semi-finals mostly because of the rap part but then the refrain just really got stuck in my head and I now find that this song is brilliant! (still not a big fan of the rap but what can I do)

2. Armenia - Also found from the final - the camera movement in the first part is amazing and then the dancers! Loved them! The song is good too :D



3. UK - One of the best songs I think and did you notice she was singing ALONE! no backup singers! it was solely her voice which is ahmazingggg! Yes the faces were a bit funny but she put her heart and soul into it 



Honorable mentions are Moldova,  Azerbaijan and Cyprus

MLB Spring

Can you tell I haven't been too excited about these this time? Looking at photos (because my memory is shocking) I blame the last May box.

Starting with March which was really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                    
#nofilter

I freaking loved practically everything in it!

Best thing: the brush - which I actually use daily now! It's sooo soft :) how did I manage without it before? I did have a similar brush before but it broke :D and I just wasn't that keen about it...

Secondly the cosmetic bag! I've been looking for one that's cute and the perfect size for ever and voila here it is!


Other things in it:
  • A little notepad (can't get enough of them)
  • Phone ring - I do like it but have not yet used it because once you put it on can you take it off and put on again? It's really useful but I don't want it on the phone all the time...
  • Baby pink nail polish
  • Blemish free primer - good to take on trips
  • Make up forever Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder - supposed to give your skin a perfect radiant and smooth look
April

Not as good as the previous but still good :)


Best thing: Water bottle fruit infuser


Other things included:
  • A full size body lotion
  • Vitamin shot face scrub
  • Early morning moisturizer
  • monthly fruit and veg calendar 
  • magnetic shopping list pad
  • Bandana scarf
  • Coconut bites
Not the best box but certainly not the worst

And then the May one which was just bad...

It did arrive quite late as well so I had the "pleasure" of reading comments on their FB page that said the box sucks :(



The theme looks promising but the insides....

Coasters - not even cute ones...
A bow for a bra??????? What even is that? Why?
A big gold triangular hair pin - might be handy
Kohl eye pencil
Nail polish
Cocktail recipes
Body cream (again)


If anyone wants to try body creams I have loads :D

Salty Churros

My final, long-awaited post about just random things that I want to note down about our trip to Barcelona in April :D

Firstly, I'd forgotten that we had a pool in the hotel! And not just a pool but one on a freaking sun deck. Could anything be cooler than that - no! And when my companion wanted to go to the sun-deck  on the first two nights I wasn't too keen - wot the point? I can just chill in bed :D Then on the third day she finally piped up and said there's a pool there!!!!!!!!!!! OMG if I'd known we could've spent the hours that we had on the first day between Sagrada and Parc Güell in that freaking pool instead of wasting time by torturing ourselves in the heat with nothing apparent to do!


The second night we made a snap decision of going to see a Flamenco show. Luckily for us there was one quite near us as well that started late enough for us to make it. Unknown to us though we had chosen a very emotional show (there were three types at different times during the day). The dancer were very into their dance and pulled some quite funny faces at times. It was quite an experience. There was 3 women and 3 men, mostly solo dances with a few group dance. There were also musicians there so the music was live, which I wasn't really expecting to be honest.



Our last day was mainly plan free. Wandering through the little narrow streets of the Barri Gotic (I could've spent the whole day there). There was a pianist playing beautiful music on the main square, later we stumbled upon some sort of demonstration where loud bangs could be heard.

Next we made our to way to La Rambla - desperately holding onto our bags, as it is supposed to be a hotspot for pickpockets. And then she's extra polite and holds a conversation with the "Hey pretty girl, where are you from" guys -.- !!!!!!!





 The beach was full of people offering you something. Practically every minute either a massage, mojito, big scarves to lie on, henna? tattoos and god knows what else... Not the most relaxing of experiences.




 And finally after days of finding the right moment it presented itself - we had churros at a cafe and they were ... absolutely horrible :D Why oh why are they salty? Why have I never heard that their salty before? Obvs I ate it all but... they're salty man!!! What?
