When it comes to blogging there are so many amazing opportunities that can come your way. From the smallest thing like receiving a free lipstick in the post to being taken to amazing adventures and experiences from brands. And I for one, am so grateful for every little opportunity that I am given.
Last week Social Network Solutions took me and a few other bloggers to the ultimate girls night in. It was really nice to have the chance to relax and unwind in our home town as that's something we don't really get to do. As I've mentioned in a few of my London hotel reviews before, before I started blogging I would never think about exploring London more and seeing what it's got to offer.
We started our day meeting at River Island and using the River Island studio to pick out some outfits. All four of us ended up picking up a few pairs of sandals as their summer collection was so dreamy! I also picked up a pair of black denim shorts and the geometric print knitted dress.
After shopping followed one of my favourite activities; afternoon tea. We headed to The Arch London for a delicious champaign filled afternoon tea. I must admit, I've sampled a lot of afternoon teas. even the Beauty and the Beast one (if you didn't see on my instagram stories you really missed out) but the scones at Arch London were one of my favourites I've ever had.
Shortly followed we headed to white city to K-West Hotel & Spa for an evening of girly fun filled pampering. Once we checked in to our hotel rooms we were greeted with these huge hampers filled with such amazing goodies. From jewellery to skin care and make up, there was such a great selection of products for us all to try.
The K-West spa is such a cool venue. It used to be a bbc recording studio so there are these incredibly long corridors and have this whole rock'n'roll themed sections in the hotel such as dj's until 3am (but due to the long corridors guests aren't disturbed. Also, there had a midnight tea, a rock'n'roll take on the classic Afternoon tea (next on my must try list).
The K Spa has some awesome facilities including a Snow Paradise (a room filled with snow) and The Nail Bar where you can also do classes to help improve your own skills. We had the chance to experience the Sun Meadow. I can only describe it as a room version of a sun bed, but without any of the skin damages that comes with using tan beds. The sun meadow gives your body all the vitamins it needs while the light therapy uses a low intensity ultraviolet light that’s gentle enough so that skin can be exposed safely for a short period. It truly made me feel relaxed, as if I was sitting in the sun on a warm summers day.
We then went and spent some well needed time using the rest of the spa facilities. We were having so much fun relaxing that we didn't realise it was time for dinner. In London we are constantly on the go, we all need to take some time out for ourselves and truly relax and let go. After dinner and drinks we had a fabulous girls night in talking all things blogging and beauty.
The next morning we woke up to a delicious breakfast and headed off for our last stop, Boutique Spa for a mani pedi. The nail shop is not like your average, it's such a lovely relaxing environment and the staff were so friendly.
I would just like to say thank you to Social Network Solutions, Luxe Pr, The Arch London, K-West Hotel & Spa, Boutique Spa and all the brands involved in the hamper for such an amazing girls night in!
