A Weekend Away In Ireland

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here, 

This weeks blog post will be by Jade and today I am going to be talking about my weekend away to Ireland. I visit this glorious country every year around about the same time aswell. Ireland is by far my favourite place/country in the whole world. I find that it's very laid back and also I love the weather, it seems to rain more there and the rain is my favourite type of weather. 

So firstly I set off Friday night to the premier inn hotel at London stanstead airport. We grabbed a cup of hot chocolate and went to be bed because we had to be up and out by 4am. When we got to the airport we went through the body and luggage scanner. After that we did a little bit of Christmas shopping in the duty free store. We then got a cup of tea and waited for our flight to Dublin Ireland. We had a good safe flight and arrived on time. We then got ourselves a full Irish breakfast and watched the rain drizzle through the streets. Of course it was raining.

We dropped the men off at Sinnets which is a traditional Irish bar that sells Guinness so my grandad was happy! We then did some shopping and went into various shops like Penny's, Channel, Brown Thomas and H and M. Majority of the shops in our towns in England was the same In Ireland just in euros. 

All the shops were decorated festively and the outside of the department store Brown Thomas had hedges in that had twinkley fairy light that was just too cute not to stop and take a good Instagram. In Dublin they have two main shopping streets. One is the left side of the famous Dublin bridge and the other side of it is the other main shopping centre. So we went both sides. 

After our shopping trip during the day we stopped for some afternoon tea at a cute little cafe that I can't remember the name of but it was down the street of the photo below. Then we went back to the hotel that was called the central and got ready for the evening.

 

The whole reason we went on our Ireland trip was to go to Shelbourne Park to see the Night Of Stars. This is a night of greyhound racing, where the best of the best dogs take each other on in open races. We went for a 3 course meal during the evening and it was very nice and I really enjoyed speaking to people there who I talk to on social media but haven't spoken in person in ages so it was a great night.

 

After that we went to sleep and the next day traveled to Dublin airport which may I say the shops there were amazing and I loved it. Sadly our airplane was delayed by 2 hours due to the airplane was taking people back from France as it was the weekend of the Paris attacks. 

I had such a great time and I loved every moment of it. Every year I visit Ireland and everytime I come back I always say I want to live there when I'm older. Yet again I'm saying it so hopefully when I'm older I can comply with my wish! Thank you for reading my blog post I hope you enjoyed it. 

Have a lovely day!

Sheffield Haul

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

It's Jade here and as you know a few weeks back I went to Sheffield to see One Direction but also I went to Meadowhall during the daytime to do some shopping. Meadowhall has 280 shops, so you can imagine it's going to be a long haul blog post. 

The first thing I bought was this adorable scalf. I saw it in the Hollister shop window and I really liked it. So I went in and got it and ever since that I can't stop wearing it. I love it so much. 

I then went into lush. If you know me then you will know that I have never not been into a lush store and come out with the 'Comforter' bubble bar. I absolutely love it and it's my favourite lush product ever. So of course I got that. I then got the 'Blackberry Bath Bomb'. I accidentally picked this bath bomb up as I was meant to pick up the  'twighlight' bath bomb but accidentally kept this one, however when I put it in my bath it made my bathroom smell of sweet blackberries and it even had a surprise in the middle. I loved it and might even get it again. Then I got the 'Father Christmas' bath bomb and it smells just like snow fairy and it's so sweet. I haven't yet tried this in my bath but I've opened it up in my bedroom and it's made it smell sweet. So it has the smell factor! 

I then went into the Disney store and I bought the Lotso bear from Toy Story 3 and his tummy smells of strawberries and I love it, that was the main reason as to why I got him. I then got Lady from lady and the tramp. These are to go towards my Disney collection. Yes I collect all things Disney. 

I then went to Primark and picked up two jumpers. I just got a grey one and a mustard colour one. They are a soft material and were super cheap! £6 each. I really like the mustard one it's very autumnal. 

I then got these 5 Seconds Of Summer socks. I don't know why. Maybe because I like them and I can wear them next year when I see them live (12th April) 

I then got this green flannel shirt. I just got this because I wear flannel shirts where I work so I can never have enough of them! This is the long version, I've never had a long one I normally get the standard length but I accidentally picked up one of the long ones. I'm actually not sure if I like it yet. 

I then got this black leather bag. I'm going to use this for when I go out. I usually have a brown shoulder bag but it irritates me so much when it constantly falls of my shoulder and I'm forever putting it back on. So I thought this would solve the problem. 

I got these copper/rose gold fairy lights because they are so cute!! They are stars and the light it self is gold. These were £6 and they hang on my white Chester draws so they look cute. 

I then got this mug and it's from the Gabriella range which is Velvetgh0st from YouTube. Gabby released a Primark homeware collection. The only downfall was the closest Primark that stocked the range was Sheffield. So the only time I got was this time and of course I'm 3 months late from when it was released and it was limited edition. The only thing they had left in the whole store was this mug so I got it. I did want the fleece throw. 

The next item I got was a Yankee candle gift set! It was a tin box with 3 little Christmas scented candles. The first one was berry trifle, which is my favourite it's very sweet smelling and instantly reminds me of Christmas. The second one is sparkling snow and it is a subtle smell and is a good one for the candle lovers who prefer discrete scents. The third one was orange spice and I have that one lit in my bedroom now and it's a warm scent. Very nice, this is a great gift idea for candle lovers. 

The last thing I brought was these 3 items from the Zoella beauty range. I already have the Guinea pig pencil case, the candle and the shower gel so I decided to buy some more items to go with my collection. I firstly got the lace collar purse and I think that's a great item to have in your handbag to put in loose earnings or bracelets. Then I got the lets spritz body mist and that is such a sweet and fresh scent I love it. Then I got the hand cream and it's the original scent and it's great for your handbag too.

I hope you have enjoyed this blog post. I did also buy a grey long coat however it's at my house and I haven't had time to take a photo of it, however I'm sure it will feature in another blog post. So keep your eyes out. Thank your for reading our blog it means so much to us!

A Day In London

Hello everyone 2 Peas In A Pod Blog here it's stephanie here and todays blog post is going to be about what I got up to in London! I had so much fun there! I went there to watch the boat race which takes place on the river themes and between Oxford and Cambridge. I thought it would be great to take a few pictures so I could write a blog post. Hope you enjoy it !

So the day started very early for me! I was up at 6.30 am to catch the train down to London and the first thing I did was find my favourite shop! Dior! I just love window shopping in there and dreaming of what I could wear. It was Very expensive so I couldn't spend any money in there! It's always nice just looking !! 

After that I went to l'occitdne it was just lovely the smell was just sheer blossom and how could I not get my self some lip balm for £12 and soap for £15!! They both smell amazing so I just had to buy them! I'm sure you guys will see them in a favourites blog post soon 😏

Then as we was walking out that shop we walked down to this cafe in Covent gardens where we saw this classical band playing a classical versions of Katy perrys fireworks! Which was amazing and very different to the original! It's was really good and they were so talented, I love seeing people on the sides of the streets showing of their musical talents.

After walking for a while and having an amazing full english breakfast at another little cafe! Just near kings cross I came across my favourite chocolate shop! M & M world. Which the things they come up with is just amazing. Like you can spell out your own name. Amazing. Sadly everything was very expensive so I didn't spend anything in there which is a real shame!

Across the road from M&M world I came across this shop which 3kg of Nutella in a tub in the window! I didn't get to see the shops name and mum refused to buy it for me!! But how amazing is that whoever came up with this idea needs a medal. 

One of my favourite parts of London is coming across the big signs! They are just like what you see in Times Square in New York. It always lets me know I'm in London! This is in Piccadilly square. I love the adverts on them they are so overly large and they move! How cool? 

 For ages now I've wanted a pair of timberlands. They are the most gorgeous pair of shoes in the world . So I made my mum go see them. Again I pestered her for her to buy me them. She didn't but I feel like I might have won her over for my birthday! Fingers Crossed !! 

After that we went for afternoon tea at the RAF place, I had a finger sandwich and a twinings cup of tea. I honestly felt so British. It was such a great time to spend with the family.

So after the boat race we went to catch the train but just before we nipped In to Starbucks which I got  a chocolate frapè! Tasted so good!!! The cream was heavenly.

So after that I ended up home and in my warm bed. I had such a lovely day. I love London the capital of my country. Sadly I didn't bump into the queen but maybe next time. The day was jam packed and was fun. The awesome thing was the same time I was in London Jade was also there staying for the weekend. So look forward to an upcoming post from Jade.  

So I hope you all enjoyed this post.
