I had traveled to Barcelona back in August for my sister's bachelorette party and we had booked a AirBnB in the area called 'Career de Mallorca', Which is just a walk away from the high street/train station.
During our stay we ate loads of tapas and the most amazing Paella at Roma Reial!

I would love to travel back there to Barcelona sometime soon!

I really loved the vibe there! It's very laid back and the weather during August was perfect! It was like i never left Hong Kong! Even better that it wasn't humid at all, which was perfect!
Though the next time if i do revisit Barcelona i would love to do more sightseeing and see if they offer  any outdoor activity!

Here is a few snaps from my travel (More on my Instagram) :

The Body Shop: 1. Moisture Serum / 2. Overnight Serum-In-Oil / 3.Face Mist / 4. Pink Grapefruit Hand cream

Did any of you guys catch the snow the other night?!
I was so excited!! But that was short lived as it only snowed for a few minutes before it slowly diminished and melted all away :(

As the weather is changing and the temperature is dropped i realised the other day when I woke up my skin felt really tight and dry. Although every night in routine i would moisturise how i would usually and i knew that my regular routine wasn't doing the job anymore.
Also to mention when i finish applying my makeup the finishing powder would emphases the dryness on my skin and i would notice visible dry patches!

To find the solution that I am hoping for, i made a visit to The Body Shop and picked up a few items!
Originally i had chosen the Moisture Serum and the Face Mist.. but then the lady at the cashier said it was a 3for2 deal! So i threw in the Overnight Serum-in-oil in conjunction with the previous 2 items and ended up saving £9.50!! (Whooohoo!)

1. Moisture Serum, £13.00
The consistency of this serum wasn't what i had expected when i tested it in-store, it was a lot more watery then what i had expected but once massaged into my skin it dramatically looked and felt very supple and instantly gave it more life!
It has a very light scent which reminds me of a flower which I'm not too keen on.



I haven't used many of The Body Shop products before but i do have high hopes in the items mentioned in this post!
Have you used any of the The Body Shop products before that you would recommend? Let me know! :))

Me and Ash had recently visited Llamberis which is in North Wales to climb Mount Snowdon (which is the highest mountain in Wales!)

We booked our stay at a guest house called Glyn Peris which was about 10-15minutes walk away from the town centre where the bus would take us to the Pen-y-pass route.
On the day of the hike there were around 7 other hikers waiting for the bus with us and a few more boarding on later on the way, a lot more than i would have imagined!

What i wore:
- Trekking shoes (for ankle support!)
- Wind and Waterproof lightweight jacket
- Lightweight waterproof packable backpack
- Trekking socks (extra cushioning and to stop my shoes rubbing on my ankle)
- Leggings
- Sports bra
- Sport tank top
- Fleece jacket

I had also brought a wooly hat and gloves which i only wore when reaching the summit.
My advice is to layer up! And the common knowledge of wearing something comfortable and not restricting!

Things we took:
- Water
- Small first aid pouch
- Map
- Battery pack
- Food (sandwich, fruit, gummy bear and chocolate)
- A bit of cash (To buy food/drinks at the cafe on the summit or if needed to take any sort of transportation back)


The weather was perfect on the day! Clear sky with cloudy intervals later in the afternoon.
I didn't expected the paths would be quite as rocky as it was! Luckily i did purchase trekking shoes as they gave me great support on my ankles as the track was very bumpy.
We decided to take the Pyg track instead of Crib Goch.. It just didn't seemed appealing to me at the time after hearing story's about a lot of death occurring on that route..

Here are some snaps taken from the trek :)

View from the Summit

Route down towards Llanberis

Free roaming sheep!

Reaching the summit of Snowdon was amazing!

Surprisingly there were a lot of people also on the summit with us considering that it was a weekday, also to mention there is an option for people to take a train up to the summit.

Upon arrival to my relief there was a small cafe as i was then able to have my toilet break!!
We stayed on the summit for what seemed like a long while before making our way down the Llamberis route towards the town we were staying at.

Overall we covered about 13miles and boy… my legs felt like it had been knotted and torn.

However i would LOVE to visit Wales again in the future and see what else England has to offer!

Are there any hikes you would recommend or places to visit?

Love,

Kat

I've recently purchased an iPhone6+ as a replacement for my Samsung s4 which i had broken on Day 1 of my trip in Thailand.. Literally, as soon as i got off the plane and walked into immigration i dropped my phone!

Since owning the iPhone i had purchased a few cases, i've realised that iPhones always has the most coolest phone cases, i've seen Starbucks frappuccino silicone cases!
Here is my small collection of cases:

I'm currently using the '100% boys Tears' case, however as I own the 6+ in addition to adding a chunky case.. its even more harder to hold.. Just hope that i don't end up dropping and breaking my phone!

You want to workout but you don’t fancy going to the gym or being outdoors in the heat, then you can consider bouldering!
Great activity to go alone or with a couple of friends, I didn’t get into bouldering until last year some time out of curiosity to see what it’s all about. I don’t go as often as I would love to because the price is something you may have to consider however it is a great way to build strength whilst having fun!

My first day visiting JustClimb I was with 2 of my friends, we had booked an introduction lesson where we were coached for 1 hour, we were taught how to warm up our bodies in preparation before the climb, how to climb, safety and how the labeling system worked. The staffs’ English abilities are basic nonetheless they are very attentive and friendly.
There are classes for children too!

They supplied life jackets (Thank god!) for people like me who aren’t so confident with swimming in the sea. Just a heads up, i believe they have a restricted amount of kayaks to rent so be sure to come earlier then 1-2pm before it starts to become more busier, also to mention remember to wear your swimsuit before you arrive to this beach as there aren’t any public toilet/changing rooms for you to use and if you want to bring snacks or drinks buy them at the stores near the bus terminal.
