So looks like I haven't blogged in 5 months... Whoops!

I was lucky enough to receive a free photo box from Cheerz when I went to the Southampton Bloggers meetup and I am so happy with it!

The Cheerz website is so easy to use and offers a variety of services, such as photo boxes, posters, photo books and wedding 'save the date' cards.
You can upload your photos from your computer, Instagram or Facebook really quickly with no problems.

With my code I could choose up to 30 photos prints which came in the cute box shown above which would normally cost £13.95. There was a choice to add captions, but I decided against it and left them blank :)

Here's a few of the pictures I ordered - enjoy!

(Excuse the dates printed on these, still getting to grips with my new camera!)

Lastly, with my code STEROQ you can get £4 off your own purchase :)

Thanks again to SotonBloggers and Cheerz for my photo box!

So after receiving a £20 gift card, Lush was calling and I got their just in time to try some of their new products which were exclusive to the Oxford Street store!

Here's what I got:



The Yoga Bomb - This one is infused with Sandalwood oils, making it a relaxing but not sickly smell. When used it is described to have orange, purple and turquoise colours slowly released. The name suits the fact that the bath bomb slowly fizzes and turns your bath a variety of colours as yoga is a slow relaxing activity.



The Frozen Bomb - Of course I had to pick one of these up due to being obsessed with the film!
This one contains grapefruit and rose oil making it a refreshing smell. The different shades of blue turn your bath into a shimmery blue lake that just shouts Frozen!

So on the 29th July my brother Will proposed to his girlfriend Kirsty - and she said Yes!!!!

I am over the moon and so pleased for both of them as they are made for each other and are going to live an amazing life together :)

In true Robinson style we had to have a party for them, on Saturday 15th August that's just what we did!

I made some cupcakes and a special engagement cake for them and wanted to share that with you, along with some other pictures from the party!



I then used ready made pink icing in a squeezy bottle and used a flower nozzle to create pretty pink flowers around the edge of the cake.


I then used a finer nozzle to write 'Will and Kirsty' on it and topped it off with a congratulations cake topper. I had planned to use pretty flowers which I put in my trolley in Waitrose but could not find them when I got home - typical me!


I then made some fairy cakes, decorated them in white icing and put raspberry sprinkles on half and cut out red hearts from roll out icing for the others.

These went down a treat with everyone and Will and Kirsty did a proper cutting of the cake - so cute!


Here's a few other pictures from the evening - not including guests as I don't have their permission! :)



How cute our these that my mum made! Olives, cream cheese and carrots - simple!


 This book I got Will thinking it will give practical advice - but it actually does the opposite and is quite rude and gave us a few laughs!
 I got this adorable wedding planner for Kirsty to plan and organise her big day :)

Hope you enjoyed this quick post on their Engagement party!

One of my favourite foods is Avocado and I also love Guacamole and have created a very quick and simple delicious recipe for it!

On Saturday 8th August I was lucky enough to attend the Southampton Bloggers event.
I've only recently started blogging properly and still getting my head around my blog and the blogging world, so when I was asked to attend last minute, I was over the moon and a little nervous. Looking at everyone else's blogs they all look so professional - they are amazing!

I went with my gorgeous friend Poppy who has her own fabulous blog and was one of the people who inspired me to start blogging.


I was so anxious all morning as I've been struggling to get out the house with my anxiety at the moment let alone attend an event and I had no idea what it was going to be like and what you do when you get their, but Poppy took me under her wing and we had a great time.

Alice and Amy did a fabulous job at organising it all and were supported by Hairfinity which provided us with a month supply of hair supplements and ran a 'Blindfolded speed braiding' competiton which I came second in and won another month supply of hair supplements - bonus!




Espa skin care also ran consultations for us all and then provided us with a mini skincare kit with 5 different mini products with instructions on a skin care routine! The girl Jo was so friendly and also gave us a free 30 minute introductory facial voucher which I wasn't expecting!



Out of the wolves were also displaying some of their clothing which looked so beautiful very festival like styles!



They also did an amazing raffle with all money going to the epilepsy society which is close to both of their hearts and mine too so I was more than happy to support this cause and I ended up winning an amazing Avon hamper! Overall £350 was raised for the charity which is great!



They also had an Instagram competition where you could have some fun taking pictures with the Instagram board and props then upload in to Instagram where the winner won a £50 West Quay! I of course chose the princess tiara as I'm definitely a wannabe princess!




Next up food! Oh My Gosh Judes ice cream was incredible! I had the mint choc chip one and it was touch down one of the creamiest ice creams I've ever tasted! They were so lovely to sponsor the event and I will definitely be getting my hands on more of it!
There were also cupcakes from Love Cake Bakery which I didn't try but looked incredible, also mini macaroons which I did try and were so yummy!



The bar also did incredible drinks too! I had a Cucumber and Apple cooler mocktail which was so refreshing and I actually jotted down the recipe to try recreate it at home it was so good! Plus the BBQ fries were so yummy too - even though my tongue was on fire after!

Overall everyone was so lovely and welcoming and although I didn't get to speak to a lot of you as I was lacking in confidence, Poppy and I still had an amazing time exploring what was in store for us and taking in the incredible venue!

So a huge Thank You to Alice and Amy for organizing the fab event and for the amazing goodie bags, I was so overwhelmed when looking through it all and am excited to try the new products and review my favourites :)



Here's a few more pictures from the amazing event :)
