I have already been to this novel cat themed cafe a couple of years ago. You can read that blog post <a href="http://serenesundayy.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/lady-dinahs-cat-emporium.html">here</a> if you like. But the lovely food, hot drinks and of course feline company keep me wanting to go back. The decievingly small looking cafe is located just off of the trendy Brick Lane in Shoreditch, London. It houses 13 cats (i'm that much of a saddo that I know all of their names, but I won't bore you with that now) that live there permanently. The entry fee is £6.50 for an hour and a half, which I think is very reasonable.<br />
<br />
We were sat in the downstairs bit which has been revamped since I was last there. It has a theme which I can only describe as a cross between the films Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest and Alice In Wonderland. It even has a kitty climbing tree and fairy lights which made for a relaxing atmosphere. My favourite part is the large cat exercise wheel which Alice kept getting onto and amusing the patrons with. There's nothing more dumbfounding than watching a cat voluntarily run on a giant hamster wheel! For food, I ordered a chicken and rocket bagel and a white hot chocolate. I didn't feel like a cake afterwards sadly, but I would love to try one from the dessert menu next time.<br />

It was during the heatwave where it got to a lovely 25 degrees and also unfortunately the half term, so you can imagine how busy it was. In my mind, I pictured us strolling around the beautiful garden, watching the giant Koy fish in the pond. However it was more like a long queue in the blazing sun, waiting to go up on the bridge to snap a photo for instagram before swiftly moving on to find some shade. The signs at the gate state that it is a memorial to the tragic bombing of Hiroshima, and to please use the garden to reflect and not play Pokemon Go. (A few people clearly neglected to read the sign, as there was a lot of Pokemon being caught). I would definitely recommend going on a quiet day, during work hours! Also, as I didn't want to lug my big camera around London with me, I had to settle for IPhone photos. I hope you can still appreciate the beauty of this hidden gem in London.<br />

<br />
An essential oil is the natural fragrant essence taken from flowers, leaves, bark, roots, fruit peel and mandarins. For example, the burst of fragrance you get when peeling an orange is an essential oil. These are extracted via different methods for their various benefits to your mood or well being.<br />
<br />
If you're thinking this all sounds a bit airy-fairy, there is actually science to back it up. Research has revealed that we respond strongly to smell in the limbic brain, the part that contains emotions and memories. This is why a certain smell can take you back to a specific moment in your life. The more you know.<br />
<br />
Different oils have different benefits, and these can be mixed to create aromatherapy blends, however you should never use essential oils neat on the skin, as they can irritate. Here's some ways in which essential oils play a part in my every day life and why.<br />
<br />
<h3>
De-Stressing After Work</h3>
<div>
I struggle to slow my brain down after a busy shift at work, so i'll sometimes pop some lavendar oil in my electric diffuser to fill the room and chill me out. Lavendar is also one of my favourite scents so that's an added bonus.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
To Create Your Very Own Bath Blend</h3>
<div>
For an amazingly detoxing bath, mix 1 cup of epsom salt and 2 drops of lavendar, peppermint and lemon. Treat yourself!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
For A Restful Sleep</h3>
<div>
I often struggle to sleep, so if i'm having one of those nights I blend 3 drops of lavendar and 3 drops of cedarwood in my diffuser.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
During Your Period</h3>
<div>
I like to use Women's Balance by Neal's Yard Remedies when I'm due or on my period. It's very balancing, so great when your emotions are a bit out of whack.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
To Uplift Your Mood</h3>
<div>
Lemon is an extremely uplifting scent and another one of my favourites, so this one is definitely handy when you're having a down day and need a pick me up. Try adding a few drops to a bowl of hot water and inhaling for a few minutes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
To Soothe Sore Joints</h3>
<div>
Joint pain is a regular thing for me. Eucalyptus and ginger oils are anti-inflammatory and soothing when mixed in a carrier oil and massaged into the skin. I use it for my repetitive strain injury on a weekly basis.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Will you try any of these methods?</div>

As a firm Anglophile, I've had the quaint little village of Lacock at the top of my to do list for a while. As I already live in Wiltshire, Lacock was only a half an hour drive from us, so as soon as the wind died down and the weather looked a bit more reasonable, we set aside a day to visit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lacock is an English village owned and maintained by the National Trust and has been a filming location for Harry Potter and Downtown Abbey. Fun fact, YouTuber Zoella was also raised here! Another lovely thing about Lacock are the random things and produce people sell on their doorsteps, so while you stroll around the cobbled streets you can do a bit of shopping! I will definitely be going back in warmer weather for a pint in the Red Lion pub garden and will try and catch the annual Scarecrow Festival as well. I hope you enjoy the photos.</div>

They are the answer to the sometimes excessive buying in the beauty world. It's only natural to want the latest palette from Too Faced that has been hyped and revealed shade by shade for weeks. But what is more satisfying than acquiring a sparkly new make up palette can be falling in love with a trusty old palette that has been sitting in the back of a makeup drawer that you once scrimped and saved to buy. I have been putting this new philosophy into practise as I peruse the brand new offerings that have appeared on the shelves.<br />

<h4>
Smashbox Cover Shot Palette in Ablaze</h4>
As soon as I saw the red clay and terracotta shades of this palette I was instantly reminded of two other palettes that were instant sell outs. Lime Crime's Venus palette was the pioneer of unconventional rust red and warm brown shades, then closely followed by Hourglass Renaissance which gave the option to buy the same beautiful colour range from a less problematic brand. Unsurprisingly, this palette has sold out in Boots, but I won't be springing for this one as I simply already have all these shades in my trusty Venus palette that has gotten a lot of love over the years. Alternatively, this could be a smart buy for those who don't want to pay £40+ for the Renaissance but don't want to support the Lime Crime brand and for £24 for 6 shades, your bank balance won't be too upset.<br />

<h4>
Pixi + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse</h4>
At the risk of upsetting the many Caroline Hirons fans out there, as soon as i saw this product I felt it was a little gimmicky. Pixi is a wonderful brand and I've been known to double cleanse every now and then when I want my skin to feel squeaky clean or after a heavy make up day, but I don't feel I need a split product to do that.<br />

<h4>
Real Techniques Bold Metals Miracle Diamond Complexion Sponge</h4>
This might be unfair to pinpoint this particular product, but with all the beauty sponges coming out in all variations of shapes and even shapes I don't believe even existed before (see RT Miracle Sculpting Sponge) this was the straw that broke the beauty lover's back. The beauty sponges have been flooding in with the promise of a new and improved ergonomic shape, but no matter which sponge you choose out of the thousands on offer, it will still need to be chucked in the bin in a couple of months. I still feel buyer's regret at having to throw out my £16 Beauty Blender after it had become an unrecognisable colour and picked up every bit of dust imagineable from the make up drawer. So I will be forgoing this new attractive diamond shaped sponge and sticking with my trusty brushes whilst sounding rather jaded.<br />

Clinique + Crayola Chubby Sticks</h4>
This has got to be the most unappealing colab I have come across. Why would Clinique want buyers to associate their lip colours with an 1885 stationary brand? I may be missing the point completely, but I will not be picking these up any time soon.<br />

There is always something to see and do in Berlin. I feel like we barely scratched the surface of this unique and beautiful city. Here's what I did that made the trip and would recommend to anyone venturing to the German capital.<br />

Stroll around the old town of Nikolaviertel</h3>
In the heart of this historical district is the St Nicholas church built 1230 and some lovely independent shops which lead to the river Spree. After running around the busy tourist spots in Berlin, it's a lovely break to pace the cobbled streets of the square and stop for a large glass of Weisse beer before going back to the bustle of the modern city.</div>

Eat A Really Good Burger Under The U Bahn Tracks At Burgermeister</h3>
What was once a century old toilet is now a bustling burger joint where you can get a delicious lunch on the trot for under five euros.

Marvel at the architecture of the Jewish Museum</h3>
It's worth visiting the Jewish Museum for the design alone. It's a very impressive looking building from the inside, with its many household objects and personal letters on display all with their own stories from the Jews they were seized from in the war. The highlight was the Fallen Leaves art installation found in the Memory Void.</div>

As I had actually visited Copenhagen, Denmark at the beginning of last year, I was instantly drawn to the array of new books appearing on shelves promising to hold all the secrets of the happiest country in the world. 'Hygge', pronounced like 'sugar' is an untranslatable Danish word embodying cosyness, intimacy and finding joy in the simple things. Vague enough for you? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what are they doing right? Things that Danes seem to have as a part of daily life are an excess of candles, fireplaces and making family time a priority. Although, I'm sure that free transport, health care, university, an average 37 hour work week and 5 weeks holiday a year play a big part in the overall happiness levels of Denmark. </div>

I've made a good go of being more 'Hyggelig' in my daily life. Heck, even reading about this book in Starbucks looking out onto a rainy highstreet is pretty damn Hyggelig. I've also found myself getting the candles out, turning the fairy lights on and catching up on some embroidery for a proper Hygge sesh. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But really, these books aren't telling us anything we don't know, but it's nice to be reminded every now and then to put down the iphone, turn the telly off and be present in the moment with the people we care most about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you read any books on Hygge?</div>

We managed to tick Berlin off our list of travel destinations a couple months ago. If you have the faintest interest in history, then Berlin is a must see. Our first stop after grabbing some grub was the East Side Gallery which was conveniently on the way to our hostel. The Berlin wall stood for 28 years and caused 139 deaths and divided families, but the remnants of the wall still standing in East Berlin has been turned into the largest open air mural collection with more than 100 paintings, a lot of them symbolizing peace. You have to dodge a lot of tourists to snap some cool photos but it's definitely worth it.<br />

Berlin has old fashioned photo booths dotted all around the city for tourists and it's mandatory that you get a strip of black and white grainy photos to take home with you. Extra points if the booth is particularly grotty and graffitied. </div>

Berlin isn't your typical 'pretty city' and maintains a lot of it's gritty history and charm. One thing you'll notice on a visit, is how cool everyone seems. Laid back layers and flat shoes are a must in the city. Especially if you're travelling via the U-Bahn.</div>

<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">I've never tried Stila eye shadows before, but I can see why they are marketed as award-winning and the quality shows with how pigmented and easy to blend they are. What I love most is that it comes with a look booklet to get you started which can be so helpful if you struggle finding eye looks. In conclusion I think £25 for ten good sized quality eye shadows in flattering colours and different finishes is pretty damn barganious.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">I saw this amazing idea for little crumble cakes on </span><a href="http://thewallflowerwardrobe.blogspot.co.uk/" style="background-color: white; color: #ca988c; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Wallflower Wardrobe</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> and had to give it a go at home. They were surprisingly easy to make and very popular with the boyfriend and friends and I will definitely be making them again while the blackberry season lasts.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">Cake: 100g Butter, 175g Golden caster sugar, 1 Egg, 280g Self raising flour, 125ml Milk, 200g Raspberries</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">Crumble: 50g Butter, 85g Plain flour, 100g Golden caster sugar</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">Preheat oven to 180 degrees calcius and butter and line a baking tray. Make the crumble topping by rubbing the flour, sugar and butter together into breadcrumbs and set aside.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">For the cake, beat the golden caster sugar and butter in a large bowl, gradually adding the egg. Tip in the flour and egg and mix together until smooth. Pour into the baking tray, then dot around the blackberries.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">Sprinkle over the crumble on top and bake for 35-45 minutes until the crumble turns golden and the blackberries burst through. Leave to cool, then remove from tray and cut into even squares. I think they taste best fresh from the oven or after a day in the fridge where the blackberries have soaked into the sponge a bit. Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">In my blogging past I have never really blogged about being a blogger. I love to read tips and tutorials myself, but for me personally, it would be like showing the man behind the curtain and perhaps take away some of the mystique if that makes sense.That was until I realised just how much I rely on my IPhone and it's apps as a blogger and thought I would share my favourites and why.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">

<b>Buffer </b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
The one thing I'm really crap at is promoting my blog on social media. I go into all the effort to research, photograph and write up the blog post and no time shouting about it! Buffer helps so much in that as soon as a new post goes live, it automatically posts a status to my Twitter and Facebook. I also schedule one off posts during high traffic times when I'm running a giveaway or simply reminding people to come visit.</div>

<b>Blogger</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
This seems an obvious one, and while the app still has a few annoying kinks that need working out, being able to publish on the go is invaluable. Especially when inspiration strikes when you're away from the computer. </div>

<b>Notepad</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
This particular app is not available on Apple and is probably the one thing I miss dearly about Android. But if you do have an Android smart phone, this easy app that allows you to create tick-off lists, full paragraphs of notes and even put sticky notes on your home screen is perfect for all your unwritten ideas.</div>

This app is rather like the Cloud where you can store your blog photos and grab them from any device. It comes in handy when you want to Instagram a photo taken with your camera or stored on your computer and saves having to plug in any wires when transferring photos from your phone. Genius!</div>

Originally intended as a prescription reminder, I use this reliable application for alerting me when a blog chat is going on. I have all the chats Monday to Friday stored on it and so I don't forget, a little notification pops up to tell me that my favourite #bbloggers chat is about to start so I never have to miss it. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">I decided to make some home made bracelets over the weekend, with the help of some </span><a href="http://www.endlessleather.com/leather-cords/flat-laces" style="background-color: white; color: #ca988c; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">*Leather Lace</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> and hand blown glass </span><a href="http://www.endlessleather.com/beads-charms/beads/murano/gold-silverfoiled" style="background-color: white; color: #ca988c; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">*Murano Beads</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> provided by Endless Leather. This little diy requires no skill, tools or time and makes some lovely wrap bracelets for yourself or as gifts. I really like the look of the distressed leather against the pretty multi-faceted glass beads and they are comfortable to wear.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">To make these, I wound each cord around my wrist twice with a little give so that I could slip the bracelets on and off. I tied the a secure knot with the remaining cord to secure one bit of the bracelet, slipped three beads onto the loose cord and knotted on the other side to hold the beads. To finish, I put a little dot of super glue under the knot and allowed to dry.</span><br />

My Wes Anderson binge included one of my all time favourite films, Fantastic Mr Fox. There's a lovely scene in the movie where young foxes Ash and Kristofferson break into Mr Bean's kitchen and gobble a fresh plate of Mrs Bean's famous nutmeg ginger apple snaps. Any Anderson fan will know how much we wish we could step into one of his movies, and a quick internet search later, I discovered a recipe brought from the screen so I could bake these for myself.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">What you will need: 250g softened butter / 2 tbsp mollasses / 6 tbsp brown sugar / 100g white sugar / 1 tsp vanilla extract / 1 pinch ground cloves / 1 tsp grated nutmeg / 2 tsp ground cinnamon / 2 tsp ground ginger / 3 tbsp grated fresh ginger / 500g all purpose flour / 2 tsp cornstarch / 1 pinch salt / 4 gala apples / 100g coarse sugar for sprinkling</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">Stila produces the most stunning eyeshadows and palettes on the make up market in my opinion, so I was keen to add the nature-inspired In The Garden palette to my growing collection especially after seeing all the beautiful tutorials floating around on the web. I am not a bold eye shadow girl, so this has slowly introduced more primary, fun colours into my arsenal. 'Nectar' makes a lovely base shade, while 'Honey' looks stunning smudged along the lower lash line and paired with the denim-coloured 'Freesia' wetted and lined along the upper lashes. There's plenty of choice to experiment with but if you're stuck for inspiration, there is a lovely eight page look booklet to refer to. Each shadow gives deep, lasting colour perfect for day or night time.</span></div>

Latvia, one of the three Baltic countries nestled in between Estonia and Lithuania and bordering Russia, is a hidden gem in Eastern Europe. In my quick research of the land, I was amazed at how sparse the population was, with 2 million inhabiting the entire country compared to a whoppingly saturated 8.3 million in London alone. </div>

I love to visit places that are steeped in history and Latvia is perfect in that sense as they have only been independent from Communism for 20 years. However in those two decades they have grown immensely with the most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings and I'm sad to say that they put Brits to shame language-wise as English is widely spoken as well as Latvian and also sometimes Russian and German. Phew. I will stop rambling now and let the photos speak for themselves.</div>

One of my favourite places was the Apsara Tea House. It's a stunning Chinese style build with floor to ceiling glass windows and a huge selection of loose teas. The inside has a huge spiral staircase that takes you to the first floor where you can sit on pillows and look out onto the park. Heaven!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">Another amazing experience was our visit to the free town Christiana. An ex military-turned commune since the 1970's which is governed by it's own law separate of Denmark. It's open entrance brings you into a different world of self-built houses, gratified walls and a 'green light' district where residents sell marijuana and pre-rolled joints behind a curtain. There is so much to take in as you wander round. I would have loved to snap more photos, but it is clearly prohibited, along with running in case of causing panic (Christiana has been subjected to police raids before). </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">I have heard plenty about this gloss and had to get one when I saw it for a very reasonable fifteen euros in Spain (thank you exchange rate). I am an avid avoider of lip gloss, being far too lazy for touch ups and far too short tempered to deal with the inevitable problem of hair getting stuck in it. Thankfully, Clarins Lip Perfector is a lovely gloss/balm hybrid which softens while it shines.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">It comes in a hygiene-aware, no hassle squeeze tube with a spongy tip and sheer shades that can be worn over lipstick or stain. This can last a good 3-4 hours and the amazing sweet scent is a bonus. A good dupe for this is the No. 7 </span><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/No7-BB-Lips_1325423/" style="background-color: white; color: #ca988c; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">BB Lips</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> which is slightly stickier and less scrummy-smelling. I am loving the entirety of this lip product and am intrigued to try the rest of the Clarins Instant Light range.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">I've recently acquired a stunning little watch from brand new collection </span><a href="http://twistedtime.com/blog/lets-go-beach-introducing-shore-projects/" style="background-color: white; color: #ca988c; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">Shore Projects</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;"> of </span><a href="http://twistedtime.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #ca988c; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">Twisted Time</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">. The designs, individually named after seaside towns like 'Poole' and 'Whitstable' are inspired by the British coast and offer a lovely range from tough leather to pastel mint, like mine. The Portland Mint* watch has an interchangeable strap and a large dial that can withstand water up to 100 meters deep. (Perfect if you're up for braving the sea after your fish and chips!) It also looks rather dainty and chic whether it's dressed up or down with an outfit and the brand plans on bringing out more strap designs which I'm eagerly anticipating.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">As a non watch wearer, I thought that it might get on my nerves, however the strap has a comfy cushion underlining and enough little holes so that it fits nicely on my baby wrists. I have been wearing it for a couple weeks and consider it a daily essential to every outfit now.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">When me and Dale visited London, Lady Dinah's Cat </span><a href="http://ladydinahs.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #ca988c; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;">Café</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;"> was at the top of my list. Lady Dinah's is an eatery housing 9 cats who live together harmoniously and are doted on by the 'cat carers' who double as waitresses. I've read about many contrived animal-themed cafés where usually profit comes first and the care of the animals comes second. This is definitely not like that. If customers badger or wake the kitties they will be asked to leave and the cats are fed a balanced diet and food is readily available to prevent any begging. All cats are either adoptions or rescues including the newest young cat Victor, who was left on their doorstep in a carrier. I booked a standard entry ticket for us both at £6 each and eagerly awaited our trip. The café doesn't open until 12pm, although the website states 11, to give the cats a chance to wake up and be more active. </span></div>

A lovely blue-haired girl wearing cat ears took our food and drink order and we decided on the 'Donnie', a chai latté with a chocolate powder kitty stencil on top and two meatball bagels which were lovely. </span><br />

Most of the felines seemed to be chilling on the floor above so I wandered up and snapped some photos and tried (and failed) to interest the cats in some of the toys available. I chatted a bit with a cat carer about the café and I could easily see the cats were super comfortable with her as she played with Biscuit the tabby.<br />

I made a bee line for the new palette and popped a Velvetine and two Unicorn lipsticks in my cart as well, as they're being phased out and can be snapped up for mere pounds. I eagerly tracked my colourful little package over 6 days all the way from California to the West Country and almost tripped over my own feet trying to let the delivery man through the security gate.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Kreon, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "kreon" , serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">The second coming of the Venus range has thrown some bold colours into the mix. The periwinkle blue Filter and the petrol-like, iridescent Pigeon have a lot of impact. I feel there is a lot more variety for grungey eye looks in this choice of colours. I'll either go mad layering the colours on top of each other (Mustard, Jam then Mud) or just pat Filter all over the lid and finish with a cat eye flick of liner for a full on 60's style eye.</span><br />
