Indulged in a bit of a pamper sesh yesterday: I'm thrilled with the brow work I've had done at Vanity Rooms over the last few months!
My brows now have a nice natural tint and shape, providing framing qualities such as naturally highlighting the high points of my face and giving definition to my features. The difference some professional brow work makes to a face is incredible...ππ My brow technician filled the brows in with my fave Billion Dollar Brows IRL 'Brows On Point Micro Brow pencil' and I was good to go.π
I'm converted thanks to Vanity Rooms in Stepaside whom I highly recommend you check out for ALL things beauty, skincare, grooming and tanning. https://www.vanityrooms.ie/
P.S. Pro Tip! There's a hair salon in the same building as the Beauty salon that the girls in Vanity Rooms themselves use, (so you know it's good) if you need a complete head to toe glam situation, in the one venue.π
Brow experience: however, as always all views are my own.π―

πMy coverage of the Belfast Christmas Markets! π
Last week I hit the road with my bestie for a roadtripπ to Belfast for a relaxing festive mid week break. We took in the Christmas markets at City Hall, ate at incredible restaurants, hung out in swanky cocktail bars sipping on delish cocktailsπΈ and stayed in one of my favourite hotels in Belfast. We took the opportunity to shop for gifts...indulging in some self gifting too!ππβΊ It was such a fun trip of a little work, lots of rest and play (I did a couple of Fashion photo shoots whilst up there for the blog - coming soon.)

I'm lucky. I was taught this from a young age because I saw my Mom do it with her friends and such. I do it a lot but rarely it is reciprocated. It's nice to be nice so if you admire something about someone or like their hair or what they're wearing, tell them! Why be embarrassed or mean about it. Share the love.β€
