Living the Blondelife Dream

It’s going to be one of those posts again, a post full of pretty much everything I love to blog about. Like any good movie, it’s got a bit of everything you could want, except this being a lifestyle post. I certainly had a lot of fun on my latest excursion out in London where I ended up in the prestigious Savoy Hotel for afternoon tea with the best company I could ask for. This is how I was living the blondelife dream…

Being blonde certainly has its perks, and this is why I was invited to an exclusive afternoon tea and meeting with Joico, AJC PR and the one and only Denis De Souza. Myself and four other influencers were greeted by the teams and were there to hear all about Joico’s new Blonde Life collection. I had never been to The Savoy Hotel before, so I was blown away by the stunning salon de thé.

We each had the most exquisite table place set for us as well as a goodie bag filled with exciting treats, including some of the new Blonde Life range.

The best was yet to come, as soon the food arrived. You can guess what happened next…

Ten sandwiches, two scones and four desserts later, I was in a very happy place. All gluten free too, this was some of the best I’ve had. We then had the opportunity to chat with Denis himself about his LA salon ‘Mare’ and his Hollywood clientele. We talked about all different types of blonde hair, and how the new Blonde Life range expertly lifts and brightens for illuminating results.

Since the event, I have tried and tested the Blonde Life hair selection, and my sister even stole it to try out for herself! We are both blondes and couldn’t be happier with the products. It really does make a hell of a difference even though we are completely different shades of blonde.

Give Joico a follow and try out the products for yourself- they certainly have something for every shade- whether you’re living the blondelife dream or not!

SAHARASPLASH visits Bea’s Cakes London

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an English lady cannot resist a good old-fashioned afternoon tea. So here is where Bea’s London comes in! This month I had the pleasure to venture across to the London borough of Marylebone to one of the splendid little cafes in the Bea’s chain.

An afternoon tea is such a great idea at this time of the year. It’s something fun to do in the city if you are hungry but you find yourself not wanting to indulge in a hot meal. Bea’s London provides an amazing atmosphere for a lovely afternoon spent with your best friend or your partner as you natter and nom away. I started things off with an apple and cinnamon tea.

Layer One- The Savoury Sarnies

Okay so they were more of a roll, but these four flavours were delicious! Naturally I ordered the gluten free option, and I had avocado with dukkha spiced yoghurt and pistachio – parma ham, mascarpone cream with honey and fig relish – goats cheese curd with beetroot and toasted walnuts and then smoked salmon with cream fraiche. The beetroot and goats cheese was to die for! Such creativity and not a cucumber in sight!

Layer Two- Scrumptious Scones

It was so wonderful to see a full-sized scone on my second layer. So many times I am left dissapointed by the size of gluten free cakes and pastries, but not at Bea’s! The gluten free scone came with the best serving of clotted cream and a choice of raspberry or strawberry jam. It was delightful.

Layer Three- Cakes, sweets, and more!

I really was not prepared for the amount of goodness on the third layer. This included a gluten free cupcake, the best chocolate brownie ever, a macaron, a homemade marshmallow cube, a meringue and some loaf cake. Needless to say I tried everything but did not finish everything. It was so nice to have a wide selection to browse through and taste. It’s the perfect thing for those indecisive eaters when it comes to choosing your dessert!

I want to thank Bea’s London for the very sophisticated experience, it was such a great way to start September and I hope that you will all go find a Bea’s London close to you if you live in London, or plan an afternoon tea with them on your next visit!

Outfit details: I wore a metallic crop, pleated skirt and zebra print jacket all from Motel Rocks.
