Exploring Krakow || Walking Tour

The final instalment to the exploring Krakow series is a combination of the final two days so prepare yourself for lots of photos!! Thursday was our free day to do as we pleased. After all our tours we were thinking of doing a relaxing day but we decided to book a walking tour through the jewish quarter of Krakow. It was really easy to book through SeeKrakow recommended by our hotel. We found a local booking office on the Wednesday & on the day we ventured to breakfast, then over to the main square to our meeting point.

Exploring Krakow || Salt Mine Visit

Our second day of tours began on Wednesday afternoon so we had the morning to wander around & explore the local markets (we ended up buying some spices of course) & grabbing a spot of lunch. Once again we had booked via escape to Poland; this time being picked up at a local hotel. This time we travelled a bit further in our tiny mini bus to the Wieliczka salt mine but we also knew some of the other tourist; clearly great minds think alike!! 

Exploring Krakow || Auschwitz Tour

Following on from our day of exploring freely; on Tuesday we had booked our first guided tour. When travelling to Krakow it's inevitable that you'll visit Auschwitz as it's the only a short drive away. It's not the most fun trip to plan but we all have to revisit history at times to learn from past human mistakes. In the words of George Santayana "The one who does not remember history is bound to live through it again" 

Exploring Krakow || Typical Tourist

I'm officially back in England & the weather isn't so bad but the holiday blues have definitely set in. Last week we were venturing around Krakow working our little legs & racking up tonnes of steps. Now I'm sat in bed attempting to organise & edit the gazillion photos we both took, so I can write up these Poland diaries!! Time to end the rambling & kick off the first post; the airport annoyances & the day of being a typical tourist!

The Notion Of Independence || OOTD

It's time to talk about being independent which these days it seems to be a defining feature of someone's character. Is it really that important to be independent & are we ever fully independent anyway? Is it okay to judge someone because they aren't completely reliant on themselves? In my mind no!! Everyone is independent at times & sometimes we just need to rely on someone else.

Giving Youtube A Go || Lifestyle

Over the past few months I've attempted to delve into the world of youtube & see if I can enjoy making videos alongside my blogging. I thought it was a perfect time to give it a go since I was having my breast augmentation & it's quite a good topic to make videos about. I actually managed to complete my videos from pre to post-op so now it's time for a spot of reflection. 

OOTD || Made Of Bricks

Here's yet another outfit I wasn't meaning to shoot but did! Well to be honest I did love this outfit from the moment I put it on. I felt all old school tumblr & it just made me feel sassy for the day. I think this is my most bloggery outfit shoot ever; completely on a whim & ohh so public. It's safe to say I love these photos & they make me feel fabulous!!!

Time For A Pamper || Soap & Glory Review

This is kind of a spare of a moment idea but trust me it's not just a filler post. If you follow me on instagram (hello & thank you for trying to keep insta alive!!) then you would have experienced my glorious pamper morning on Friday. Those lucky few got to see me look oh so beautiful with a bright pink face mask on & since it did a fabulous job of helping my skin I thought it deserved a feature.
