Our Mid-Month Update In Photos

Our Updates In Photos post was originally a weekly post when we began this blog to keep you updated in a quirky way, however we have not done this post since June! So I (B) thought I would just do a quick upload of our mid-month updates.

 Once we have both got settled back into a routine at College and University hopefully these posts will once again become weekly. That is if our life is interesting enough to keep you guys entertained! 


It is Summer and I (B) managed to get away to Rhodes in Greece for 2 week which was lush. 

On Thursday (15th August) both myself and M got our A-Level results. I got accepted onto my university course and Maisie got accepted into Art College. This academic year is going to be strange for both of us but we are looking forward to it and don't worry, myself and M are still going to be working together on the blog, you cant get rid of us that easily!

Being beauty bloggers myself and M have also made a few purchases both beauty and fashion based that we will upload in review/haul blog posts.

How has your August been so far? 
We would love to know.
Love B

London- Thursday 27th June

Although Wednesday was probably our busiest day in London, Thursday was still pretty tiring- but we battled on, of course. 

We started our day off by catching the tube to St. Paul's. We had a nosey around the outside of the cathedral- which is beautiful, and then headed towards South Bank. 


Next stop- Tate Modern!



After the Tate we then went (across the wrong bridge and had to go across another bridge further down when we'd realised) along by the London Eye where we had a lovely time seeing all the street performers.





We then headed towards The Houses of Parliament and on to Buckingham Palace!



After having a very tourist-y day we decided to head back to the tube. We then went to a graduate art show in the evening, just off Brick Lane, which had work from students from various universities around England- it was fabulous to look at the different forms of art and especially for M who is taking a foundation art degree. We also had a lovely evening meal at a Thai restaurant with B's Uncle and partner, the best aspect of them living in London is that they took us to see the sights of London that not many tourists do get to experience and it is incredible, just seeing the every day London life, it makes us want to move here so much more! 

Today's post is pretty much self explanatory- hence the large amount of photos! We pretty much had a sight seeing day and we loved it- you have to be a tourist in London at some point don't you?!



We hope you enjoyed today's post- sorry it's a few days later than anticipated!

What do you guys think to today's post? Have you been to any of these places? We'd love to hear from you!

Till next time
Love,

London- Tuesday 25th June

So Tuesday was our first full day in London. There were so many things we wanted to do in our week that we thought it would be easiest to plan our days whereby the places we visited were close by to one another so that we could cut wasted time through travelling.

(compulsory quick selfie before we left- B on the left, M on the right)


First stop- Natural History museum!

So we know it may not be deemed to be the coolest thing that two 18 year olds could do, but we thought why not?! (And M really wanted to see the dinosaurs). 

We didn't spend too long in the Museum- our main aim really was just to visit the dinosaurs. The Museum is great though and we'd recommend it to anyone interested in Natural history- and with free entry you can't go wrong!
When we had finished our visit around that particular exhibit, we headed to our next stop- Hyde Park!

We couldn't have picked a better day for visiting here as the weather was beautiful! Hyde Park is such a lovely place to visit so we decided we'd have a wander round and find somewhere to have a bit of lunch.

The place we found was called The Lido Bar and Cafe and it overlooked the Serpentine. We both had pizza and it was lovely
We also stopped for a quick ice cream whilst in Hyde Park and then headed to Oxford Street.



 
We had a quick look around the shops- we couldn't believe how big Topshop and Primark were!- but then we had to get a tube back to B's uncle's as his students had an end of year art show (which was actually very good). 
Although we would have like to have spent longer checking out the shops, we'll definitely be going back so we'll be able to have a proper look next time! 

Sorry for the late post again guys but we hope you enjoyed our quick update!
Have you ever been to the places we visited Tuesday? If so did you like them? 
We'd love to hear from you!

Till next time,
Love
