4 ROMANTIC GETAWAYS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

January 22, 2019 in TRAVEL
heart sunset view

It’s not long until Valentine’s Day, and if you are in a relationship, these are five holiday ideas that you could gift your partner, or useas inspiration to set up a last-minute romantic getaway.cruise ship on oceanCouple’s Caribbean Cruise (check out Princess Cruises for ideas)

If you want to go all out with your Valentine’s Day gift, book a Caribbean cruise to surprise your partner. Enjoy all the quality food and entertainment you can handle on board, enjoy those ocean views, sunbathe by the pool, and hop off at interesting stops to explore the Caribbean. You’ll never get bored on a cruise as there is always something to do – from cookery lessons, to fitness classes. You can also just plank yourselves by the pool with an unlimited supply of cocktails too.private villa swimming poolSelf-Catering Villa in Spain (check out Villa Plus for ideas)

Why not take advantage of the warm weather in mainland Spain or the Canary Islands, and book a self-catering villa. Lots of them come with pools too, so your sunbathing spots are all set up and secured for you right at your door. A self-catering villa gives you the flexibility to be able to eat out or cook your own meals. Visit a local market or shop and pick up some Spanish supplies that will give you a taste of the region, or seek out the best local restaurants and brunch spots. Another good thing about having your own villa is that it’s a lot more private than a hotel – perfect for those PDAs by the pool.luxury hotel suiteUK Luxury Hotel Suite for Two (check out Small Luxury Hotels of the World for ideas)

There are so many stunning places to visit in our own country, so why not take a break for a night or two in the UK? If you want the best of the best hotels with first-class service, book a smaller, luxury boutique hotel as there are fewer guests and the service is more personal. You can also find some amazing Michelin star-worthy food in the restaurants in these boutique hotels. There’s always the option to just stay in bed all day and order room service too. Why not wrap up warm and go on a romantic country walk, or take your partner out shopping and buy them a Valentine’s Day treat?new york skyline at nightUS City Break (check out American Sky for ideas)

Why not head over to the US for a bustling city break full of shopping and good food. Shop, brunch and be a tourist during the day, then head out for a candlelit dinner, followed by a cosy bar afterwards for some cocktails. If you prefer to always be doing something on your vacations, instead of just lying by a pool, places like New York or Chicago are the ultimate city break locations. Trips like these are really memorable adventures too.

PR samples — It’s time for #friyayfaves again PR samples — It’s time for #friyayfaves again (# by @the__glow__girl)! I’ve been loving testing out some French pharmacy skincare products over the last 4 months, so that I can put together a blog post on my favourite French pharmacy brands. The post will be live on my blog alifewithfrills.co.uk next week and it features @esthedermuk @biodermauk @caudalie @typologyparis & @decleorparis - what do you love from these brands?

It’s #texturetuesday! I wanted to share with you It’s #texturetuesday! I wanted to share with you 5 of my favourite cream eyeshadows, in pot form. A few of these I’ve had for ages, but they last so long and as long as you use them with a clean brush I think there’s nothing wrong with continuing to use them. Clockwise from the top they are @ctilburymakeup Star Gold, the now extinct @glossierplay Glitter Gelee Gold, the equally as extinct @diormakeup Fusion Mono in Hypnotique, @tomfordbeauty Cream Colour for Eyes in Burnished Copper & Midnight Violet. Swipe for swatches.

Serious question - does anyone out there actual li Serious question - does anyone out there actual like these ‘slice’ sheet masks that several K-beauty brands produce? I  tried them before and dismissed them as pointless; then I came across these and thought I’d give them another go. Same conclusion - utterly useless & they dry out SO quickly! They look cute but that’s the beginning and the end of it. Or am I missing a trick?

PR sample — I’m featuring this @esthedermuk se PR sample — I’m featuring this @esthedermuk serum in an upcoming blog post, but I wanted to post it on my grid so that I can then add it to my IG Guide on my favourite beauty products of 2020!
🥰
This serum is dreamy. It’s such a light, translucent, runny serum that sinks into the skin, leaving you with the softest and plumpest skin imaginable!
🥰
The science this Institut Esthederm E.V.E Serum (£77) behind it is that it has been designed to strengthen and protect maturing skin that’s tired and stressed; to restore vitality & firmness and improve texture & diminish visibility of lines. Huda Kattan @huda is a real fan and I can see why! I wanted to try it because it has my hero Niacinamide in it, but it does so much more than just refine my pores. I use it as a first serum and then top with a retinol at night.

PR sample — This has been my favourite sheet mas PR sample — This has been my favourite sheet mask lately! It’s a new release from @zitsticka and whilst it’s designed for those with breakout-prone skin, it’s also amazing at pore minimising & hydrating - which is why I use it. It has my texture hero ingredient Niacinamide in it. 
💚
There’s also Salicylic Acid, exfoliating AHAs, Hyaluronic Acid & Allantoin. It’s a 2-piece hydrogel mask so it fits beautifully to the contours of the face. I’ll definitely be getting some more of these!
