Located on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, Elan Cafe has become quite a popular spot for bloggers and influencers alike...as well as those just trying to get the perfect shot for the 'gram. What better location to have lunch with someone I'd never previously met?

If you ever meet me at an event you'll probably be thinking I'm extremely confident and outgoing, when in reality I'm quite a shy person and I keep to myself more often than not. While I have come out of my shell a lot more in the nearly 2 years that I have been blogging, I'm still very much an introvert.

When an invitation for a spa day with yoga and afternoon tea popped into my inbox from <a href="https://www.spaseekers.com/" rel="nofollow">Spa Seekers</a>, I obviously couldn't resist. I'd never been to an actual spa before, unless you count turning my bedroom or bathroom into my own personal spa (like in my <a href="https://alicia-smith.co.uk/perfect-valentines-pamper-evening/">The Perfect Valentines Pamper Evening</a> post).

With only a week until Valentine's day, you can hear the stress of men and women everywhere trying to come up with the perfect present and date idea. Is a posh dinner overdone? Can we really just stay in and relax? Why do I have to get him/her flowers? In all honesty, you don't have to do anything if you don't want to.

So as much I love reading and watching people's monthly favourites, I personally hate writing the posts myself. I've attempted them several times in the past since they're typical "beauty blogger" posts. In honesty their not my cup of tea though. Instead, I'm going to talk about new discoveries I've made every month, but not go into too much detail.

So between Christmas and my birthday, I may have picked up one, two or quite a few new makeup items and I thought I'd put together an edit of some of my favourite things that I've picked up. Most of these are sure to become staples in my everyday makeup, or they already have.
