    Clarks Anniston Vale Outfit – Competition

    White shirt and ripped jeans

    Recently I’ve been talking a lot about how I’ve been wanting to downsize my wardrobe and invest in good quality items that I can get plenty of wear out of – less is more as they say.

    These jeans were a recent purchase and so far I’ve been getting plenty of wear out of them but the star of the show with this outfit were definitely my Clarks Anniston Vale loafers.

    I’m no stranger to Clarks shoes and over this past year I’ve accumulated a number of different styles, each which I am glad to say I’ve been getting plenty of wear out of. I think there is often a misconception with Clarks, as many people are often surprised after they compliment my shoes and I tell them where they are from. Yes Clarks are known for their comfort and quality but they should be known for their style too. Whoever said you can’t have style and comfort.

    I’d been eyeing up these particular loafers since I spotted them at Clarks A/W press day earlier this year. I’d spotted them in black and a gorgeous burgundy shade and knew I’d have to have a pair. I was over the moon when I was given the opportunity not to only have a pair but to choose my own unique colourway for them too! I’d spotted the brushed animal print on another pair of shoes, so chose that to go on the top part and there’s something so classic about patent black, so that made up my mind for the rest of the shoe. I excitedly ripped open the box when they arrived and I could not be more pleased with them.

  • My Relaxation Mantra & The Chance To Win A Spa Break

    My Relaxation Mantra & The Chance To Win A Spa Break

    Ideally when I need to relax, I’d like to travel to a remote exotic beach somewhere, or to a picturesque part of the countryside for a weekend but unfortunately that isn’t always doable and so, often other outlets need to be found in order to help me chill out.

    For me, when my mind is at peace, I am at peace and there are a few things that I like to regularly do that help me to feel relaxed.

    Blog
    I get such a satisfaction from writing my blog and when I’m in the zone, working on a post that I’m really enjoying writing, it helps me to de-stress and relax.

    Switch off from the Internet & social media
    As much as I love (and am addicted) to social media and the Internet, I often find it’s my main distraction from relaxing and if I’m already overthinking, this just helps add to the problem… Although without the internet my blog would not exist, I find that when I switch myself off from it for a short while, I can solely focus on writing without distractions.

    Watch a film
    At the end of a long day, if I’m too tired to blog and I don’t want to focus on any of life’s distractions, I find that watching a good movie is the ultimate way to prevent me from thinking about any stresses and allow myself to relax.

    Listen to music
    There are some songs/albums that I can listen to and instantly be transported in my mind to a different place. Usually if I have a long train journey and I want to zone out, I’ll plug in my earphones and let the music take me some place else.

    Each of these simple things help me to follow my relaxation mantra – Take your mind somewhere else and just relax. I do at least one of these things on a daily basis to help myself relax, as I think it’s important to have a good balance and to give yourself time to unwind…

    But how about winning a spa break to help you really unwind?

    Of course nothings beats a trip away and if you’re a blogger and you’d like to share your relaxation mantra then you can be in with a chance to win an awesome spa break for you and a friend with Spa Seekers. All you have to do is share your relaxation mantra in a blog post of your own accompanied by your own image (I created my image using Canva, which is simple and easy to use). Once you’ve created your post, you can then share it on Twitter tagging @SpaSeekers and using the hashtag #MyRelaxationMantra to submit your blog post into the Spa Seekers competition.
