Hello lovelies,

This past Sunday me and my friends were over-due a meet up and chat so I went ahead and booked afternoon tea at the G hotel for us. Only one of my friends had done the afternoon tea before so we were all so excited to try it out and it did not disappoint-First of all I have to say the service we received was amazing and the staff tending to us were all so helpful and kept our teapots topped up!! 

So what do you get in the afternoon tea deal?? Well what you see in the photos below is what is served to share between two people so we had two of these platters for our group of four and it was plenty-we were all left feeling full and happy on our way home.

On one plate there was all of our little sandwiches which went down a treat with our resounding favourite being the little wraps-small but so flavoursome!! After the sandwiches, we went onto the delicious fresh scones served with butter, cream and jam.... they were just the perfect size. Last but not least were the selection of sweet treats with the favourite being the carrot cake for sure-it was so light and the perfect ending to our tea.... speaking of tea there is a nice selection of teas on the menu-the girls had tea and I had berry tea as recommended by one of our servers and it was yum.

The next into the west blogger network meet-up is on in the G next month and I for one cannot wait,

Hello lovelies-so as some of you may have noticed we are HUGE fans of Nia goodies here on EALoves!! Their products are all natural, smell AMAZING, are affordable and give great results what more could you want????

So when I saw that they were coming out with some new goodies-I was DELIGHTED to find out that we were going to get to try them out so thank you so much to Celia and the Nia team for sending these to us to try #ealtryouts

Both Emily and I suffer from dry skin so Nia products are made for us-the first product I used us the Calendula and Orange blossom 2 step facial cleansing balm available HERE for €19.95!! This is such a great price because one tin will last you ages-the formula is buttery and so easy to spread on the skin you don't need much at al to cover the face and neck so it's great bang for your buck... We all know we need to moisturise our dry skin but also we need to cleanse off any dead skin too and a gentle product is what we want...

Now onto the cleansing process-step one is to dampen your face and neck area and apply a small amount of product using the handy spatula included in the package. As with all Nia goodies-the cleanser smells so beautiful and it so easy to apply. Step two is to rinse the cleansing cloth also included and wring it out before sweeping over the face to remove the cleanser and leaving super soft skin behind!! 

The next product I used after my cleansing is the intensive restoring facial hydrating mist available HERE for 19.95-made with oat and aloe the mist feels so good on the skin and dries in quickly and easily-no sticky residue!! You can use the mist throughout the day to refresh the skin and it can even be used over make-up BONUS!!
