Wonderful Things: Afternoon Tea, Busted Concert and more!





I was treated to an afternoon tea for two gift experience for Christmas which was super lovely and as I am a big foodie and a big tea and coffee drinker I was super excited to get it booked up. I went with a friend and we had the most amazing afternoon tea; with soup, hot crumpets, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam and of-course lots of teeny tiny delicious sweet treats and hot beverages. Anyone that knows me well knows that anything ditsy and floral print is right up my street and the decor inside was just beautiful. It was such a lovely day, I would definitely recommend Jelly Pickle Jam if you are local to Evesham or are visiting.


I really like Yankee as a brand, but I just buy their sampler votive candles these days as it gives you a chance to see if you like the scent for just £2, rather than investing in a jar costing around £18. If I'm honest I've found that some Yankee scents aren't very strong and have been a bit of a let down, but not this one! Macaron Treats smells gorgeous and brightens my mood when its burning; it reminds me of times from when I was young - its just a lovely, sweet scent.



I love having false nails on my nails, it is probably one of favourite 'pamper me' type things to do. I've never been very good at growing my own nails, and after using false nails so much in the past, my nails are really weak and tend to break. I have given false nails a rest for a while so I can look after my own nails a little bit better. I was challenged recently to try the Renunail 3 Step Kit* out to see if my nails would strengthen in four Weeks. Included is their original Nail Strengthener, Nourishing Oil and their Nail Strengthener in pink. I've been using this kit for probably over five Weeks now, and I've noticed such a difference. You simply apply the Nail Strengthener every day for one Week, remove on the seventh day and then continue this pattern for the next three Weeks. Alhough my nails haven't grown all that much, they haven't broke and they do feel stronger and look in much better condition than before. I will be purchasing these products once they've run out as they have worked really well for me, so these have definitely been wonderful products for me this Month.



I am big Busted fan (13 year old Zoe was completely obsessed with them back in the day) and having seen them for the first time in over ten years last year on their comeback tour, of-course I had to buy tickets to the latest tour too. They were brilliant as always; we were standing this time and I always think its a much better atmosphere compared to seating. I think Busted will always have a big piece of my heart, regardless of what anyone else thinks, their music really makes me happy and reminds me of being young. I didn't take any photos while I was there, I try to enjoy the moment when I go to concerts (plus being a tiny 5'1 I can't really take any decent photos as I cant see the stage too much!) so here's a selfie of me wearing last Years tour t-shirt.

Bon Jovi Because We Can Tour!

Last weekend me and my best friend Kayleigh tootled off to Villa Park to see the fantastic Bon Jovi on their Because We Can tour! I was so excited having being a big fan since I can remember. My boyfriend bought us tickets for my Christmas presents but unfortunately couldn't go as he had other commitments, which meant my friend could come along which was good as we love Bon Jovi, my boyfriend isn't a big fan of them.

We caught two trains to get to Villa Park which was a story in itself, drama! We waited for an hour for the gates to open, then got us some food, drinks and swent and found our seats. We had okay seating really as we were centre to the stage facing towards , but we were far back but it was still amazing!

Their support bands were 'Of Kings and Captains' a band I had never heard of before but they were really good! Their second support act to my surprise were 'The Enemy' I was really shocked to see them there as I really like them, I follow their page on Facebook/Twitter and they never mentioned it! I don't think many people there knew who they were but I was singing my head off haha.

Bon Jovi graced the stage at 8PM sharp and WOW they are possibly the best band I have ever seen live, I love my music and seeing live music is definitely one of my favourite things to do I was amazed! They played some of their new songs, loads of their old classics and they stayed on stage until about 22:50! Almost 3 hours on Bon Jovi, they were fantastic.

Their set up was really cool as they had the front of a car (see picture below) which changed colour throughout different songs.
I would love to see Bon Jovi live again as they were incredible and would recommend to anyone to see them live as it is an experience in itself!



What is the best live performance you have been to?

The Big Reunion Tour, Birmingham!

I went along to see The Big Reunion Tour on Sunday (12th May) which I am sure you have heard all about from the TV programme on ITV2!

Performing live at concert were B*witched, 5ive, 911, The Honeyz, Liberty X and Atomic Kitten and they were all fab! As a child I loved B*witched - there is video evidence somewhere of me singing (veryyy out of tune) Blame It On The Weatherman!
I had also seen Liberty X before a good many years ago now so I was excited to be seeing them again, and also the other bands too!
I went along with my lovely blogging friend Clare and we had a fab time  - and yes we remembered all the words and danced and sang all the way through!
We met in Town then got the train together to Birmingham, then headed off to the NEC.
Clare actually got the tickets and we had pretty good seating too which was fab - although we were convinced we were in the wrong seats all night!








Thanks Clare for a fab night!

Have you got any concerts lined up for this year?
