La Chapelle || Winter sunshine in the French Alps

So, we were last together at après weren't we downing shots and bottles of fizz (remind yourself here) after arriving and surprising Emily and I promised I'd show the chalet that we holidayed in and tell you a little more about the area. 

A trip to the French Alps to surprise our Chalet girl

A couple of weeks ago we flew to Geneva on a surprise mission. Our daughter Emily is currently working in the French Alps as a chalet host and having the time of her life. She kept on asking us to go visit her but for one reason or another we just couldn't do it. I won't bore you with the details but things changed, we booked our flights and off we went. We decided not to tell Emily and just turn up. We'd spoken to Matt, the owner of the chalet where she was working and arranged to stay there and he sorted our transfers from Geneva, which is about 90 minutes, on a good day. We arrived at the chalet around 6pm and the look on her face was priceless. Shocked but so pleased and excited. 

My trial of Silidyn is over so let me tell you what I think

    

My 8 weeks are up so let's talk about Silidyn* again shall we? This tiny bottle of liquid silicon is said to provide benefits to hair, skin, nails, connective tissue and bones. You can read my last post here and that kinda tells you a bit about Silicon itself and why a supplement like this is good to take. 

Review of The Queen's Head in Belton Leicestershire

Friday night I was invited along to review the food at The Queen's Head in Belton, Loughborough, a quaint village pub in the heart of The Midlands. Having recently undergone a refurbishment the interior decor is incredibly stylish with a contemporary twist, but with a homely, warm feeling too and it's all been done to a very high standard. The dining areas are extremely spacious, there's no sitting on top of each other in this pub!!

TILI beauty box from QVC (Number 3)

I'm back again with the next TILI box to show you. Another one I couldn't resist. As you know I don't purchase any subscription boxes and NEVER will, I decide when I want to buy one. This is the third TILI box they've produced (through QVC) and I've genuinely been really impressed with each one. I can honestly say I've found at least one product from each box that I have/will repurchase again. That's why I love these because if you like the look of the products in a box for that month you just buy and try. Simples. There's a couple of items in here that were already on my 'To-Try' list so happy days!

Bedroom makeover || Pretty vintage chic interiors

Last year I shared our master bedroom makeover (post here- please excuse slightly dodgy photography though!) and now I bring you Emily's bedroom makeover. Prior to the makeover her room was that of a typical teenager and the revamp was long overdue to be fair. She wanted something along the vintage lines, feminine with pastel shades but really light and bright, she only has a small window in her bedroom so we wanted to make it as bright as possible.
