My trip to Stevenage





                                                   Sunday 14th September




On arrival

       

When we arrived we set out for a place to eat and ended up at a big shopping centre called 'The Galeria.' I highly recommend this shopping centre as it includes so many restaurants and shops, its a good size and also includes a cinema. Its a retail outlet so you can get things for a bit cheaper which is great.


Chiquitos

I had the Santa Fe wrap, and I have to say it wasn't what I expected but it was delicious!
On the menu it describes as chicken in a tomato sauce with rice and sour cream, and when
it came it was more of just chicken and rice in the wrap, which when I saw it I was dissapointed
but when I ate the wrap the rice had so much flavour and it was so good!
I do recommend this but have to say its not what it sounds like on the menu.

Unfortunately I was so hungry and forgot to take a photo but
this is one off of the internet that I found of the
Santa Fe wrap.
  

For desert I had the Churros with strawberry's and chocolate
source for dipping.
These were SO good! I highly recommend these
they were sprinkled with cinnamon which gave it great flavour.
 The only tiny thing I have to say is the fact that the chocolate dipping source was a bit watery
I was expecting more of a thick source however it could've just been my serving. But other than that I loved this
desert and would order it again.



Overview


I did enjoy Chiquitos however this particular one wasn't great. I have been to one in Kent and enjoyed that more. Service was a bit slow but food was yummy and would still go back again! :)





Knebworth house



Knebworth house is home to some beautiful statues and amazing grounds.
There is so many acres of land fills with beautiful things.



This one of a girl reading is particularly my favourite.  





                                              We then went through an arch into a place
                                       where they were growing lots of fruit, veg and plants.



I found this part so cute and it was really nice to see everything growing so well and fresh!




I know this photo may seem random but its in the same place I promise! ahaha
As I said I went with my family which includes my brother (shown in the
picture) but knebworth house includes something for
everyone! They have this trail called the dinosaur trail and
 it was great for children!It includes facts
 about the dinosaurs and animal
 noises and sounds as well.










Photos of the beautiful grounds and knebworth house itself!
it was so breathtaking.



Beautiful tree carvings.

Over view

I really enjoyed Knebworth house and would go back again, it had amazing grounds and was suitable for all ages. Had a good giftshop and a
lovely cafe too!

I recomend!

Products just not worth the hype

Below are some of the famous outbursts in the blogger world that I purchased and really didn’t think they were either, worth the money or, just didn’t work as well as I thought they would.

I must stress this is just my opinion but I thought I’d love to share this with you guys to see if any of you agree or can give me any tips for maybe what I’m doing wrong.  :)


Number two was my Benefit Dandelion blush. Again I had heard loads of people telling me to try this and saying how good it was and such a pe4rfect baby pink but however I don’t think it applied well at all. I would apply and apply and I found it just didn’t show up. I also think Benefit blushes are a bit overpriced so I was disappointed as I could’ve got a better one for the amount of money I paid.
Next was some Topshop nail varnish, I found some of the most beautiful colours which I couldn’t wait to try out and I was very disappointed to find out how watery they were. However many coats you would put on it just ended up looking cheap and tacky. I also found that after not long at all they then became gloopy and sticky which was not nice to apply. Something I don’t think I’ll be buying again.
Then we have the Chanel eyeshadow. As we all know Chanel is mega expensive and I have to say I was disappointed. I love love love the packaging of all Chanel products, I think they are very clean, sheik and glamorous, however, I found the palette very small and the amount of eye shadow they give you I don’t find enough for how much you have to pay. I also find myself having to apply a lot of the eye shadow which isn’t great when you don’t have much, because I find it very chalky, so to get a decent coverage I have to apply quite a bit. I was so disappointed as Chanel is one of my favourite brands.
Finally is the Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder, the original one. One of the main things I hated about this product was how both the bronzer and blush contained glitter in them. I hate glitter and I think it just makes it look cheap and tacky. I also found the bronzer super orange and I would not be able to apply this to my skin tone. I just didn’t find the quality of these that great. However if you like glittery face products then this may be the one for you!

Okay so thank you so much and I hope this helps, again I know this is only my opinion but personally I always love to watch youtube or read other blogs on things people just haven’t really got on with and didn’t think was worth the hype.
Please do say your experiences and share anything that you either agree or disagree with because I know most of these are quite controversial.
Kisses and hugs
