Brighton Colour Walk

Posted on by Pam
I recently went on a colour walk through In Colourful Company.

What is a colour walk?  Well, it’s a planned route, where you’ll go past street art, bright houses, and colourfully painted shops, and the plan is for you to take photos, and videos.

It’s a really interesting way to see somewhere, and the colour walk I went on was in Brighton.

We all met at the train station, and if you imagine a colour walk being colourful, you’ve not thought of what the people who will go on one of these will be dressed like!

I’m not sure which was more colourful, the walk or the people on it!



The planners of the event were The Pigeon’s Nest and Hello Dodo, and they did an awesome job!

I’ll show you some of the sights!










I love how this looks like the ivy is her hair!






It was a pretty chilly day, but such a nice walk, as Cassy can attest.  



And of course we needed a group photo or two! But, I didn’t take any, so you get the photo that I took of them taking photos of us!
















We stopped in at the Brighton Royal Pavilion, and I need to go back some time to see that properly! It looks like such an amazing place!

We finished up at the pier, which has a fun fair at the end! Watching some of the rides going out over the water was a bit stomach churning!

The first 50 people to turn up were given a goody bag, and here’s mine!  There were goodies from Hello Dodo, Spoonful of Sugar, Deb the Lady Snail,  We are mountain, Charli Tait Creative, The Grunge Monkey, Woah there pickle,  Nylon toast, and Little Toy lost!



Glow Tonic from Pixi review

Posted on by Pam

When we got married last year, I had my makeup done professionally, which was very nice, but it was heavier makeup than I’m used to and so when I looked in the mirror, I suddenly noticed a lot more lines around my eyes than I’m used to.

So, I did a stupid thing, and the week before the wedding, I tried out some different skincare things, one of which I was allergic to.  And when I say allergic, I mean red face and very irritated bits.  I went to ask a pharmacist what was wrong, who took one look, and said allergic reaction, and suggested Benadryl, 3 times a day.


Anyway, that’s all a precursor to say that I became more interested in skincare (and no, I didn’t try anything else new until after the wedding!).  


I found Caroline Hirons, who posts on youtube and instagram, and is hilarious and very down to earth, and she lead me to Pixi’s Glow Tonic, which is really what I wanted to talk about!
Here’s a close up of my skin from November 2017

I had a facial (my first one ever) before the wedding, and the beauty therapist pointed out all of the little bumps I had over my face (and neck), and suggested I book in for a more serious facial to help with those.  I didn’t, but that was because I decided it was too late to try that, and I didn’t want anything else messing up my skin.   

If you have a look at the photo, you can see how bumpy my skin was.










It did make me think, though, and I decided I’d try something to see if it would work, and I remembered Caroline Hirons had mentioned Glow Tonic as being good.


And I have to say, she was right!  I started off with a small bottle of the Glow Tonic, just to see what it was like (slight flashbacks to having a red puffy face), and started using it twice a day.  


And a close up of my skin in April 2017
After a week or so, the skin on my face felt smooth for the first time, and it was that moment of ‘oh, this is how it should feel!’
You can actually see the difference in the photo from April!  I’m a very happy convert to using Glow Tonic, and this is something that I can’t see me stopping using any time soon!

If you have a similar problem, then I can highly recommend Pixi Glow Tonic!  You can see what a fan I am for how big a pot I’ve gotten recently!
