Florida October 2015 - Universal

So I've finally gone round to showing you all my Florida photos! :) I'm not going to write a lot – I know you're all just want to see all the pretty pictures. What I will say/ do is write my top 5 tips/ advice on Universal.

1. I'd be surprised if you have seen All of Universal in one day! I don't think you can see absolutely everything in one day. There's just so much to see and so much to take in, you really do need to take it all in slowly and just enjoy it!

On my first day we walked through Universal Studios and went towards Islands of Adventure. It was very quiet, probably the quietest it ever was when I was there. I still regret not going on the Jurassic Park ride first when the wait was only 5 minutes! Which leads me onto 2.

2. If the ride leads you getting wet and you’ve only just arrived and the wait is 5 minutes, just go on there! Seriously we had to go back another day on Jurassic Park and waited 40 minutes which wasn't THAT bad but still, that day we went back was incredibly busy and didn't really have the patience to wait all that time so if you see a ride you want to go on that's 5 minutes but you don't want to get wet because you've only just got here, you will dry afterwards! Who cares you're on holiday! Enjoy it!

3. You have to eat at the Hard Rock Café! It was sooo amazing seeing all the clothes and instruments that celebrities wore on big events! There was an Elvis Presley section on the second floor which I found fascinating! There were letters he had written and what looked like song lyrics – it was just so amazing that they were right in front of me. Amazing. And also the service there was just, outstanding!

4. I'm not a Harry Potter fan, never really got into it when I was young so Ive never followed the craze! However, I have to say, The Harry Potter train from Universal Studios to Islands of Adventure was brilliant! From walking to the train station, where you show your Universal ticket and walking through the ‘invisible wall’ and walking up the steps and you see the train.. Oh my word.. It was brilliant! The steam coming from the chimney and the staff dressed for the part – it was all excellent! I'd definitely recommend it. Even the train ride was really cool too, (won't tell you too much, don't want to spoil!) the whole experience was just fantastic and you MUST go on it even if you're not a Harry Potter fan!!

5. You have to go on the Spider-Man ride! It's not a thriller ride, I promise. It's a 3D ride which made me walk out like :O !! Mind you, it was my first ride.. It really put everything into perspective. 

They really don't do anything half over in the States! They go all out and really made the whole entire experience brilliant! Writing this blog post is making me want to go so bad :(

My favourite Exfoliator and Cleanser for Winter 2015

 

I've only used these products for a few days but I have got to write how I feel about them now! They are uh-mazing! Seriously, why haven't I used these two before? What's going on?!

Ok, so first of all I use the GLAMGLOW® Flashmud™ Brightening treatment as an exfoliation rather than a mask because of it's consistency. It does say to apply on dry skin; for me it didn't work as well as I thought so I used it in the shower and wetted my face first before applying it and I found that that worked much better on my skin. So I use that first for my face and I work it in all over especially below my ears and on my neck because that's where my driest patches are and need more exfoliating attention. I have dry patches on my forehead, my cheeks and my chin and sometimes down the sides of my nose. Once I've done something else like shampoo and condition my hair I'll go back and wet it off. 

I absolutely love how my skin feels after using this. It creates a luminous, balanced skin-tone that appears to be brighter and more even. Seriously. You need to try this!

 

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser – I had heard so many reviews and YouTube videos on this product. I was in Sephora and I couldn't say no to getting this for $15! 

So once I've washed off all the GLAMGLOW® product I lather this all over my face. You don't need to use too much either, it goes a long way! At first I didn't really like the smell (it smells of cucumber which I don't like! )But after a while I got used to it and again, I loved how it made my skin feel.  It does say on the back that it doesn't strip out any of the skins essential moisture. It gently cleanses makeup and impurities. My skin feels very healthy, nourished and soothing. 

As its coming up to the colder season you really need to pay more attention to your skin and listen to what it's telling you. You really need to give your skin a good scrub with a good exfoliator to get rid of all the makeup grit and grime and scrub away the flakiness from your face because at this time of the year skin tends to dry up a lot quicker and creates flakiness which looks uneven after you've applied foundation. 

So there you have it my two ultimate favourite skincare products this season which everybody should consider trying.

Have any of you used these products together or just on their own? Let me know what your thoughts are.

Also, I really want to try out the Josie Maran Argan Oil for my face after using here? Has anybody used this on their face? Is it too heavy? Do you think it would be great over the Winter months? Comment your thoughts below :)
