Me, the 'stripes addict' that I am, spotted this top at River Island and fell in love instantly. Stripes and sequins, now what better combo could a girl wish for?My friend and I met up at one of our regular brunch places in South Kensington; Le Pain Quotidien When we go here we always order a large bowl of honey banana porridge, it's the best!My Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses (link)

Cor Silver Soap

The lovely people at COR recently sent me a sample of their Silver Soap to try. I’d read bits and pieces about this soap because many celebs like Jessica Biel, Nicole Sherzinger, Sarah Jessica Parker and Reese Witherspoon have raved about it and it sold out in the US when it launched last year.
Until recently it wasn't available in the UK but now it is here for all of us to enjoy!

But what is this soap and what’s so special about it?

“Cor's silver soap is a great multi-taker product because it can be used to transform stressed out skin suffering from acne, eczema, pigmentation and even fine lines and wrinkles to leave you with a glowing, clear and youthful complexion at the same time!”

The star ingredient of this soap is that it contains the patented formula of nano-silver with silica and they are derived from natural sources.

Silver: is one of the best antibacterial agents. It blocks the bactera’s ability to transfer oxygen through its cell walls. Silver also has healing properties and has been used by doctors to speed cell repair.
Silica: prepares the skin to accept the ingredients of Cor. The sponge-like nature of Silica draws the Silver and other active ingredients into its particles so that it can richly nourish the skin.

Other ingredients include:
Glycerin: derived from natural palm oil which is a renewable source of glycerin most often used in high end soaps.
Marine Collagen from Japan: Cor’s collagen can add a more youthful apperance to one’s face.
Sericin: is a natural, soluble protein made from silk. Highly moisture-binding and film-forming.
Chitosan: is a natural fibre that acts to even out skin tone, and helps to balance out the skin’s oil levels.
Pomegranate Extract: helps to reduce the effect of aging and fight free radicals.
The soap is amber coloured and comes in cased in a stylish box to preserve the soap and has a fresh slightly citrusy fragrance.

I have been using this soap for a few weeks now and my skin is certainly not complaining. I have to say I am blessed with pretty good skin so I am not someone that suffers from a lot of breakouts or anything so I can’t really judge that aspect of the soap. The soap lathers and foams with use and leaves my skin ‘squeeky’ clean – I am serious, my skin actually makes that noise with this soap! It removes all my make up without stripping any natural oils and thereore and my skin feels fresh and glowing. I like that Cor Silver Soap contains no parabens or preservatives and that it is suitable for sensitive skin.
Cor Silver Soap’s are available now from Corsilver.co.uk with prices starting from £15.

Hola Guapas, I am back!

Hola guapa(s) means hello beautiful in Spanish! Sorry for my lack of blogging recently but I was away on holiday and really needed the break. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break. I got back from Barcelona late on Monday night and have to say I had the BEST weekend. Everyone told me I was going to love Barcelona and they were right…….it was amazing!!

Here some (ok quite a few....sorry!) photos of my lovely long weekend…. 


Casa Batlló by Gaudi

Churros con Chocolate....OMG delicious!

Casa Mila or 'La Padrera'
Exploring the city....
The very impressive Sagrada Familia
Parc Guell
Our usual breakfast in the sun; croissants, coffee and fresh fruit..
I loved visiting the 'La Boqueria' market. The fresh amount of fruit, meat and produce was amazing!
We definitely consumed a LOT of amazing food during our Spanish weekend....
Paella and Sangria!
Sugary donuts 'Rosquillas'
Lots and lots of Tapas!
Chocolate covered Churros ♥
My gorgeous friend at the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe
Cava in the sunshine by the beach!

We were very sad when we had to say 'Adios' to Barcelona again to head back to London. I definitely want to visit Barcelona again soon, think it's one of my favourite places in Europe.
I saw this in one of the streets in Barcelona and think it summed up our weekend rather well.....

Happy Hump Day everyone :) xoxo Roz
