TWG Tea - Warm Spring Afternoon

TWG Tea - Warm Spring Afternoon

The other day my mum and I have decided to maybe treat ourselves with a nice afternoon tea...? And we just randomly found this gorgeous place called - TWG Tea https://www.twgtea.com/

First off, the place is stunning, it's gold and white theme (I assume nobody can see it as black and blue, haha), with some 'tea' related displays here and there. The whole area is filled with a smell of teas, a load of different kinds of teas, I can't even explain it!

Second of all, their tea is, oh my gosh, so nice, we tried the classic English breakfast and Jasmine. Although when we flicked through the menu, we just see a billion different tea names and prices, that's all. They have seriously a complete tea menu for all over the world, it's an eye full. Anyway, we got two different types of toasts, one with salmon and one with chicken. Oh my world they're delicious! I'm a huge salmon junkie but I actually preferred the chicken one. *hmmm* 

Then we had our sweet treats, a chocolate moose-y kinda cake (?), which was fine, to be honest, it wasn't 'wow' but it sure wasn't bad, and two different macaroons, rose and passion fruit, they both have tea infused in them. *Nomnomnomn*

I hope you enjoyed today's really casual post! Sorry that I didn't include many pictures, it was quite crowded there so it was actually awkward, haha...!

Showing Off - Makeup Collections

Recently I've been watching quite a few makeup collection videos on YouTube, and surprisingly, I've learned something more than just what makeup to buy and how to organise my collection. If you watch beauty gurus on YouTube, you'll know that one of the most requested videos for them is, everyone reading this would probably be yelling, makeup collection! But in most of the case, makeup collections aren't getting the best feedback.

'you're trying too hard to show off lol', 'you're ONLY 14, how did you afford all these?', 'how come you're just showing highends?'

first of all, the comments above are all real, found them on a few different makeup collection videos, I didn't make them up. So why did they address that? is it something discussion-worthy? or is it just hate?

if you ask me, I'll most likely respond - is it that important? To me the only difference between highend and drugstore makeup is - Price. BUT they are categorised as THE SAME category, makeup. So if seeing people showing more expensive makeup rather than more affordable makeup annoys/bugs/makes you uncomfortable, I'd kindly suggest you not to watch those types of videos. 

Yes, 7 billion people have 7 billion different opinions, but here I stated mine. I hope I didn't sounded harsh or mean, if so I apologise!
