Cue Aberdeen | Review

Hello Again!

This Sunday past I attended a Blogger Exclusive event at the new restaurant in Aberdeen, Cue Barbecue. I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised at my experience, so much so that this post is going to be all about it! Before I delve into all the amazing interiors and fantastic food I will give you a little bit about how Cue came about. 

'It all started over a plate of food on a road trip south of the border.'

'Meat juice dribbling down chins, ordering more than we could eat, we needed this mouth-watering taste and the smell of wood smoke in our lives. Our mission; bring the dedication of the pit master to you with soul, and explore the diverse culture of barbecue in the southern US and Latin American styles. Watering mouth and you know you have ordered more than you can eat, you relive the mantra: Rub me, Smoke me, Sauce me, Eat me.'

My Favourite Posts by some great Bloggers | Bit of a Schedule Change

Do you know what really get’s my goat? Myself! In the little ‘about me’ part on the right side of my blog I have said that I post on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays but you know what? I’ve been slacking! So I am making a vow right here, right now to whoever is reading this (Hi mum) I am taking that back. I am going to post when I can and when I want to. I don’t have a never ending bank balance that let’s me buy all the new makeup and the entire H&M Home ware range. I wish I did, but I don’t. Recently I’ve been feeling very pressurised (by myself might I add) to churn out a post just because Tuesday is the next day and that’s been taking away the fun of my blog. To me, I enjoy it when I have a good post out even if I only get 30 views or whatever (the views don’t bother me at all, of course I get excited when a post has over a certain amount but show me a blogger who doesn’t). 

This is one of the very lovely stock photos from ashleyelladesign.com as it's pitch black right now and I have no stock photos of my own.

The point I’m trying to come out with is I’m only going to be posting when I feel genuinely happy when doing so. If there’s not a post on a Thursday but there is on a Friday that’s fine with me, continuity isn’t everything in life, that’s just the way it is! 

So blah blah blah, after that rant, I have decided dedicate this post to a few of the great posts I've read recently and honestly, I have been so impressed with the content! So here are a few bloggers and their post's that I've been so impressed by:

Vix Meldrew - this girl doesn't take any shit and doesn't care about writing post's that may push the boundaries and I love her for that! I am such a fan of lists and if you are like me then you should definitely check her out! Her most recent post made me actually almost choke on a minstrel in the middle of my office, it's all about her do's and don'ts about sexting!!

Lady Writes - I have been speaking to Chloe from Lady Writes for a while now and I commend her so much as she is a very hectic lady but is also a single mum! I don't know what that feels like, but it's hard for me and I have Sam by my side! I always find myself going over to her blog every few days to catch up and one of my favourite posts of hers is all about living in Modern Day Motherhood. Why do I like it so much? Because she tells the truth!

JuicyyyJess - I bloody love this girl and I haven't actually spoken that much to her (I swear I'm not a stalker) but I will admit I did attempt to make her rainbow cupcakes but failed miserably and they were not fit for human consumption. Jess's recipe was spot on - it just so happens that I can't bake for shit! Anyway, I am a massive fan of PLL and I loved Jess's Most Loved PLL Moments post (Hannah dancing just makes me so happy).

Product of the Week | In Collaboration with Hannahheartss

Hello Again!

Hope you have all been well! You're maybe thinking, 'Sarah, it's Monday, what are you doing posting on a Monday?' (or maybe you don't care very much about the fact I'm posting on a Monday - there are two kinds of people in the world), well today is a little bonus post as the lovely Hannah from HannahHeartss and I have decided to do a product of the week post on the 15th of every month so if you missed our post's from last month you can read Hannah's here and mine here.

At the end of last month I went and did a little shopping as there was so many things just released that I wanted to try and this was the main one I wanted to get my hands on. It's the Maybelline Super Stay 24h Setting Spray. Now I have been a massive fan of the MAC Fix + but that doesn't really keep my makeup on for long it just gives me a nice dewy look (which don't get me wrong, I bloody love it for that reason) But when I saw this I knew I wanted to try it and see if it did help my makeup last longer, and guess what?! It does!

I spray this about 5 times (although it says you only need 2-4) after I have applied my foundation, blush, bronzer etc but I apply it before my liner and my mascara because I have found when applying this once everything is on, it keeps the liner and mascara wet for a while which helps it smudge half way down my face (that may be your look but it's not the one I'm going for). That is however the only downside of this product! I am on the go from very early in the morning, I can normally be found applying my make up at 6 in the morning and since I've been using this, my make up has been lasting till I take it off at night which is normally at 10pm - So that is a big yes please from me! Another thing I like about this product is that it doesn't really have a scent. I know there are some setting sprays out there that come with a very strong whiff which isn't really what you want all over your face! 

I highly recommend this product as it does what it says on the bottle. It locks in your make up and it lasts for a long time - ok I haven't tried to see if my make up lasts for 24hours but I'm not normally on the go for 24 consecutive hours, but you if are please give this a try and let me know! It's also really affordable as it retails at a nice £6.99 in boots.

Thank you for reading about my Product of the Week, please don't forget to head over to Hannah's post all about her product of the week - it's a good one!!

'Till next time ...
