Perfect Date Nights on the South Coast

Looking to woo a love interest? Or do you just to treat your significant other to a special evening? Perhaps the pair of you could just do with some time off. Whatever the reason, if you live on the South Coast, there’s plenty of romantic activities to choose from

With this in mind, we’ve listed the best options for date nights in the area. 
Brighton - From The Lanes to the sea front, Brighton is highly instagrammable – and it’s a particularly good town for dates. If you’re up for a bit of fun, why don’t you head to the pier? You’ll each be able to enjoy games galore if you do. For something more refined, you could always visit a fancy restaurant in the centre afterwards. Or if you’re after a cheap and cosy date, how about a walk along the beach, followed by fresh fish and chips? 
Portsmouth - OK, so romance may not be the first word that springs to mind when you hear the name Portsmouth. But despite what you might expect, Portsmouth is brimming with date night opportunities. When it comes to visual appeal, there’s no place better in the port city than The Rose Gardens. As its name suggests, this haven is dedicated to the sweet-smelling flower. Here, you and your date can explore its beauty at your own pace. Alternatively, for a more modern excursion, why don’t you climb the iconic Spinnaker tower? For a simpler day or evening out, stroll along one of its many beaches. 
The beauty of choosing Portsmouth as a date destination is that you can easily reach it from any major city within the UK. You and your special someone could head by train from Southampton Central to Portsmouth or journey to the city from London. 
Worthing - Worthing is a tourist hot spot – and it’s easy to see why. While its pier offers a fun day out, its friendly atmosphere helps visitors to feel welcome. Even better, it tends to be great for date nights. Take High Down gardens, for example. This sprawling green space is the perfect setting for a romantic afternoon. Boasting a variety of plants and flowers, it invites you to witness nature in all its glory. When you’ve finished, why not unwind at its Tea Rooms? A movie at the historic Dome cinema – the second oldest working film theatre in the UK – could be the perfect way to conclude the date. 

For the ideal date night, look no further than the South Coast. It doesn’t just offer fresh sea air and friendly faces, it pretty much guarantees a thoroughly romantic evening.

Make P:rem Radiance Me. Mild Essential Peeling Review

Through my love of K-Beauty products I have been lucky enough to come across some amazing brands and everything I have tried and reviewed can be found in my K-Beauty Section. The latest addition to my collection is the Make P:rem Radiance Me. Mild Essential Peeling which I was kindly sent to try from Tonic-15.
Make P:rem Radiance Me. Mild Essential Peeling Review
Described as being a gentle exfoliator that reveals radiant and glowing skin without irritating. The unique essence-like texture also helps to soothe and hydrate the skin, transforming the skin to be bright and smooth. Like many K-Beauty products, this one has some amazing ingredients included within it and they are:
  • Wintergreen leaf extract which naturally contains Salicylic Acid to gently exfoliates
  • Squalane lightly hydrates the skin without any heaviness
  • Moringa oil which is rich in antioxidants

My skin absolutely loves all things Salicylic Acid and what I really have loved about this product is that the texture of the cream is not at all thick, it has the feeling of a gel cleanser and when you apply it to the skin, it feels soothing but the magic happens as you massage it onto the skin, you can see the results almost immediately when those dead skin cells are broken down. it is quite grim to begin with but as soon as you splash your face with warm water to remove all the residue, the after feeling of soft, smooth skin is incredible.  

Priced at £24 here, this has been quite the discovery and for anyone who has sensitive skin, this is definitely worth trying because not once has it irritated, stung or left my skin feeling taut and dry.

L’Occitane Classic Beauty Advent Calendar 2019 Contents Reveal!

L'Occitane is one of my favourite brands, so much so I go through refill pouches of the Almond Shower Oil and I always look forward to the Christmas offerings. When it comes to Advent Calendars, L'Occitane once again has two offerings depending on your budget and today I am sharing the Classic Beauty Advent Calendar which retails at just £49.

L’Occitane Classic Beauty Advent Calendar 2019 Contents Reveal!
For the past few years, I have been lucky enough to feature the L’Occitane advent calendar here on my blog (here is the 2018 version) and they are such a brilliant way to stock up on your favourites, discover new products and never worry about having to buy products for your travel case again.  Whenever I go away for a few days, L'Occitane is very much the brand that features most heavily within my stash.
L’OCCITANE’s much-loved Classic Beauty Advent Calendar is back for 2019. This Christmas, our Classic Beauty Advent Calendar takes the form of a book, telling one of our true stories about the almond tree. Did you know? In the 1950’s, almond trees completely disappeared from the Provence landscape.

The Classic Beauty Advent Calendar from L'Occitane has contents worth £79 and it really does give you the chance to try what L'Occitane has to offer. Again the cute design opens out like a book and it features 24 doors to open.

As you can see the calendar does look just stunning and if you don't want to know what is inside the Calendar then stop scrolling now.

I am a huge fan of L'Occitane Hand Creams and I love the options available within the Calendar as well as the addition of the Almond Shower Gel being included in a really good travel-sized option.

You can find every Advent Calendar available for 2019 right here all under one blog post.  I would love to know if you have found any favourites.
