Five friends, three days

Hello everyone! I am so sorry for the delay, the latter end of last week was just so stressful I just wasn't able to write a post of good enough standard. I'm also back to school now and it's exam season so I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to manage my time effectively but I guess I'll just have to work with it!

So as some of you may know if you follow me on Twitter, just over a week ago I took a three day trip to Denmark. The back story as to 'why Denmark?' Is a long one which I've been through many a time so I'm not going to do that again. Anyway so the long awaited Tuesday 5th of April arrived and I excitedly got up at the crack of dawn to meet three of my best friends whom I'd be travelling to meet up with best(est) friend number four. The journey to the airport was quick enough, we checked in (it was quite strange doing all this for the first time without an adult!) then had breakfast, shopped a bit before it was time to board. I'll skip the plane journey, it was standard, an hour and a half or so was all it took to get us onto Danish soil. Fast forward we met up with my best friend and her mum and started off to her house. The rest of that evening was nice and chilled, we took a walk to the local shop to buy a few things and then spent the night playing cards against humanity.

The next day was by far my favourite, we got the chance to spend a couple of hours doing various (challenging and strenuous) tree climbing activities which is something I'd never experienced before and did enjoy! There were varied heights you could climb at and we worked through them all (although I found I'd developed a minor fear of heights at the 20m mark and dropped out of the very last course). We got to spend the night in a cabin, just us five cooking and cleaning for ourselves- the epitome of freedom right? Highlight of that evening was having a prank pulled on us which resulted in a very loud scream and my life flashing before my eyes. The rest of the night passed without any more terror (thank God) and due to irresponsibly sleeping at 6am we woke up at 11am. Fuelled on five hours sleep we gave the cabin a clean and had pancakes for breakfast. Back 'home' we showered and packed up all our things- I couldn't believe it was almost over already!- and headed off to the mall to ramble and pick up a few things before dinner at Restaurant Flammen which was amazing!! 

The drive to the airport was nice and long, it kind of felt like a mini road trip with that "nothing ahead but the open road" feeling. Obviously the airport getting closer and closer and I realised the trip we'd been planning for months was coming to an end. At the airport, fooseball and trying to get to the front of the boarding queue was what the next hour or so consisted of. Then it was the plane journey back where us girls gossiped from take off to landing, taking a few cheeky pictures of the boys which I won't include as I value my life quite a bit. Getting home was nice for one reason only- my bed. Other than that I could honestly have had a few more days over there in Denmark, it was the nicest thing to just come away from school work and spend some time with best friends and making amazing memories.

Beauty

Baby faced

Hello everyone! Here I am with my first review (un-sponsored). My lovely friend took a trip to Korea a while ago and coming back she bought me a few things to try. Sweets, sachets and souvenirs were among the treats I got to play around with but the one thing I was very excited to try was a Shea butter face mask by Aritaum. One lazy Saturday morning I decided it was time I gave it a go, so I scoured the Internet for the instructions (sadly they were in Korean on the packaging) had a quick shower, cleansed my face with a face wash and opened the face mask to reveal, an actual mask. I mean I know it was called a face mask but I expected a cream that you'd smother on your face and it'd dry and you'd peel it off afterwards. Nonetheless I placed it on my face and proceeded to spend the next 20 minutes looking like a character fresh out of a horror movie. In order to keep the mask on my face I was required to talk as little as possible and refrain from laughing- obviously as soon as your brain realises it shouldn't be laughing it decides to find everything in plain sight hilarious. So just imagine my giggling self snap chatting my friends trying to past time *no photo here as I was quite a sight*. The time passed slowly but surely and I took off the mask and rubbed the remaining "residue" (?) into my now soft and supple face. I found that my face was dewy, and had the perfect amount of moisture, something I really needed for my skin! Definitely one of the most weirdest things I've tried but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely love to make it a regular thing. My skin did feel amazing and that was only after one mask! I can't imagine the wonders it would do if you did it regularly. I completely recommend that if you can get your hands on one to try it, the funny side alone makes it totally worth it!

Just a side note- the facial wash I'm using is the Simple Triple Action face wash which I use with it's corresponding moisturiser. It's quite good although I find my skin is left very dry afterwards so I tend to pair the moisturiser with another one.
