It has been a very busy week for me, spending the weekend at home in Kent before heading up to Liverpool for an afternoon before catching a boat over the Irish Sea to visit family on the Isle Of Man (photos below). Also, my beauty blog The Glossy Guide has been nominated for a Cosmopolitan Blog Award in the category of Best New Beauty Blog! Thank you so much to all of my amazing readers who nominated me, you have no idea how much this means to me to see so much of my hard work on my blogs acknowledged like this! I would really appreciate it if you could vote for The Glossy Guide. Also, massive shout outs for some of my friends and amazing bloggers Elodie and Rose who have been nominated in the Established Fashion Blog and Food Blog categories respectively - go check out your blogs because I think they really deserve your vote!
