]]> If you’re visiting London, the chances are you will find yourself hungry and wondering where to eat at at least one point during your trip. The capital of the UK is simply rammed with amazing places to eat and drink, but sometimes this level of choice can be overwhelming. Here are three of the best food chains to check out in London. At these establishments, the food is consistently good, plus you’ll find these chains in pretty much every area of London.

Leon

Leon’s ethos is all about healthy fast food. You can pick up rice and lentil dal, Thai chicken curry or baked waffle fries and a salad, and everything should be ready to go in under five minutes. This option is perfect if you’re in a rush but want something fresh, and as there’s a Leon in almost every railway station, you’re sure to never be too far from one.

Itsu

Itsu delivers great, fresh-tasting Asian food every day of the week. You can pick up sushi and gyoza from this high street chain, but if you’re willing to wait a little longer then the speciality is ramen. The food is always big on flavor, but nothing should cost you more than $15.

Greggs

Greggs is a national institution in the UK. The high street bakery specializes in seriously cheap, very tasty baked goods – you can expect pasties, sausage rolls, cakes and donuts. While it may not be the healthiest option, sometimes you just really need a carb-heavy snack to keep your energy high for your London trip.

]]> If you’re lucky enough to be planning a trip to Rome, then you need to start deciding which of the city’s iconic dishes you’re going to try. In Italy’s capital there’s simply so much delicious food on offer, it’s sometimes necessary to narrow your options down to a few distinctly delicious choices. Check out three traditional Roman dishes which you won’t regret adding to your itinerary.

Fried Artichokes

In the Jewish quarter of Rome you will find many trattorias offering this special dish. A deceptively simple offering of deep fried artichokes, often served with a simple sauce or mayonnaise, these make for a truly stunning starter or side dish and are an authentic taste of Rome.

Cacio e Pepe

This famously simple pasta dish, consisting of just four ingredients (pasta, pepper, parmesan and butter) makes for a stunning lunch or an indulgent dinner. Despite its simple ingredients, the flavors of this dish are rich and intense, and it is a meal best enjoyed with a fresh green salad on the side to balance the pasta.

Roman Pizza

Pizza in Rome is truly special. You can expect to find pizza with very thin crusts, topped with a staggering array of ingredients. Cured ham, roasted vegetables, chickpeas, figs and pickled garlic are just some of the toppings you might find adorning a slice from a Roman pizzeria. Try as many as you can to really savor the Roman pizza experience.

]]> Gardens can be beautiful, tranquil places at any time of the year, but the spring and summer months are when many plants really come into their own. If you’re visiting the UK this summer, check out these stunning gardens which are unique and distinctive enough to merit a special trip to visit them.

Brodsworth Hall and Gardens, Yorkshire

Brodsworth Hall is a fantastic example of a Victorian English country home. The interiors of the hall are stunningly beautiful and expertly done, but you’ll find just as much beauty and splendor in the gardens surrounding the house. Take a picnic to eat on the lawn, and make sure you dedicate enough time to the extensive rose gardens.

Winkworth Arboretum, Surrey

This nationally famous arboretum is home to many rare and wonderful species of trees, but during the spring and summer months you can also expect to enjoy a range of wild and cultivated flowers. The walks through the grounds are quite extensive, so set aside a whole afternoon to enjoy this special place.

Rosemoor Garden, Devon

This garden, officially recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society, displays many rare and wonderful plants and flowers. In June, the roses and meadow flowers bloom, while later in the season you can enjoy the sight of apples ripening on the trees in the orchard.

]]> The Paris 2024 Olympics were a show-stopping spectacle of power, speed, strength, and agility. With the closing ceremony already behind us, it may feel like the party is now well and truly over. However, France is a huge country with plenty of amazing things to see and do – here are three ideas of what to do in France now that the Olympics are over.

Sample Champagne In Wine Country

Located to the east of Paris, Champagne is a stunning region of gentle rolling hills, ancient market towns and, of course, plenty of wine to sample. If you book onto a wine tour you will learn about the history and cultivation of this region, while you get to enjoy several tastes of some high quality wines.

Walk Brittany’s Coast Path

The wild northern region of Brittany hosts one of the longest, and most beautiful, coast paths in France. Known as the Sentier des Douaniers (Customs Officers’ Path), this 388 mile long stretch is absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit. There are plenty of small towns and charming villages to stop off at along your way, so you can enjoy a well earned rest on your hike.

Visit Van Gogh’s City In Provence

Arles, a stunning Roman-era city in the southern region of Provence, inspired the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. Many of his most famous works stem from the time he spent living in the city, and Arles is proud to showcase its rich artistic heritage. Take a guided tour or explore the streets yourself, to witness firsthand the architecture and light which inspired one of the world’s great artists.

]]> The country of Scotland has a rich and distinguished history when it comes to culinary creations. Traditional dishes make use of the foods and resources available, whether that’s fresh fish from the coast or oats grown inland. If you’re heading to Glasgow, Scotland’s second city, then here are three delicious and unique dishes which you need to try.

Oatcakes

These simple snacks are brilliant paired with cheese and chutney, or you can enjoy them plain. While oatcakes are available to buy in stores right across the UK, the range in Scotland is better than anywhere else. Tuck into some as a mid-morning snack to fuel you through your sightseeing in Glasgow.

Haggis

Love it or loathe it, haggis is the national dish of Scotland and so can’t be avoided on a trip to Glasgow. Luckily, there are now plenty of vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options available, so if you’re curious about the taste of haggis but don’t fancy the original, you should be able to source a version to suit you.

Morning Roll

A morning roll is a simple snack, consisting of a soft white bread roll filled with meat, eggs or cheese – or a combination of all three! These filling and tasty rolls can be picked up from many cafes and takeaways across Glasgow, and are often incredibly cheap—an ideal option if you need a hearty breakfast or lunch on the go.

]]> If you’re planning a getaway to somewhere hot and sunny, you’ll need to think carefully about what you’re going to pack. Light, breezy fabrics and versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched are the key to a cool and comfortable summer vacation wardrobe. Check out these suggestions of three pieces which will work particularly hard in your vacation wardrobe.

Heeled Mules

Heeled mules are a huge fashion trend this summer, and it’s easy to see why – these shoes are cute, chic and wearable, thanks to their small heels. A pair of heeled mules will look great whether you’re heading for the beach, enjoying an evening meal, or exploring a local market town on your vacation. In fact, you may find that you end up wearing them all vacation!

White Shirt

Is there any item of clothing that’s more hardworking than a classic white shirt? Wear it buttoned up and tucked into shorts in the heat of the day to protect your skin from UV rays, or leave it open and layered over a nice dress for an evening event. It can even double up as a beach covering, too.

Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are chic and stylish, and can be dressed up or down depending on your needs. Layer the aforementioned white shirt over one to go out to dinner, or keep it simple with just the jumpsuit and your heeled mules for the daytime.

]]> Everyone loves to catch a few rays on vacation, but we’re all well aware of the health implications of deliberately burning or tanning. If you’re heading somewhere hot on holiday it’s super important to make sure that your skin is protected from the UV. Check out these vacation essentials which you’ll want to pack to ensure your skin stays out of the sun.

Sun Hat

A sun hat is an absolute essential on holiday, as it will protect your face and neck from the sun and help you to stay cool. Paper or straw-based versions pack down neatly, and a cotton-based cap can be folded in your suitcase.

Sarong or Scarf

Packing a sarong or scarf to wrap around your shoulders during the hottest part of the day is a great idea. It will be light and airy, and so keep you cooler than a top, while offering you protection from the UV rays.

Parasol

While it may not be practical to pack a parasol in your suitcase, it’s a good idea to seek one out if you’re poolside or at the beach. While SPF is a must and will help to protect your skin, during the hottest parts of the day it’s a good idea to seek shade. A large parasol will provide plenty of shade for you to relax under.

]]> As an island nation, the UK boasts some great surfing spots where pros and beginners alike can enjoy some clean swell and big waves. Check out these three destinations, each of which offers fantastic surfing conditions. And if you’re not into surfing, it’s still well worth visiting these beautiful beaches.

Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland

Although reaching the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides may take some time, it’s certainly worth it. You can expect white sand beaches and pristine water, and you will often find that you have huge stretches of beach almost to yourself. While this is great for relaxing and unwinding, you will want to make sure that if you’re a novice surfer there are people around, just in case you get in trouble in the water.

Woolacombe, Devon

The north coast of the county of Devon has recently been designated a surfing reserve, in recognition of the fantastic conditions that this coastline provides for surfing. Woolacombe, a sandy beach stretching for over three miles, is one of the most popular destinations. Experts and beginners alike enjoy the big waves on this shore, and once you’re done with surfing you can relax with a coffee and cake from one of the beachside cafes.

Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Yorkshire

This large beach in the county of Yorkshire has been popular with British surfers for decades. It can get busy, although for beginners it can be a relief to know that there are lots of others in the water with you. Once you’ve had enough of surfing, head to the funicular railway which will carry you to the top of the cliff for stunning seaside views.

]]> If you’re planning a hiking trip in the UK, you’ll want to plan ahead for the weather. In the summer months, you can expect everything from balmy sunshine to torrential rain and gales, which is why it pays to be prepared with your packing! If you’re someone who would like to look as chic as possible while climbing a mountain or traversing a coast path, here are some practical yet fashionable suggestions for your suitcase.

Culottes

Hiking in the UK often involves brushing past long grasses. If these are damp, the hems of your pants can often become soaked in next to no time. Wide-legged culottes that fall at the mid-calf are comfortable, cool, and practical enough to take on a hike. You won’t run the risk of damp hems, you’re less at risk of overheating due to the wide legs, and the pockets mean you can stash some energy bars for the hike.

Barbour Jacket

A waxed Barbour jacket is the epitome of British countryside cool. Breathable, waterproof, and oh-so versatile, these jackets are certainly an investment but they should last for years.

Hiking Boots

The amount of rainfall in the UK means that wherever you’re hiking, there’s a risk of mud. Avoid the disappointment of mud-stained, soggy sneakers by investing in some good quality, waterproof hiking boots. Some of the best styles are fashionable enough to be worn off the hike too, so the investment is definitely worth it!

]]> Most of us are keen to seek sunny climes for our summer vacation, but too much heat and humidity can spell trouble if you’re looking to keep your make up look sleek and locked down. This is why it’s a good reason to keep your beauty looks pared back and simple when you’re on vacation – check out these easy tips and tricks for the best summer vacation make up look.

Focus The Eyes

Ditch the mascara (which, unless waterproof, can end up running down your face in high heat and humidity) and bring out your eyes with some simple kohl or kajal pencil. This look is softer than liquid liner but just as effective, making it perfect for a day spent beach-side or by the pool.

Bring Out The Balm

A tinted SPF lip balm is all you need on your lips. Bold lipstick colors can look overdone and too ‘office-appropriate’ for vacation, and serious heat can cause lipstick bullets to melt. Opt for a baby pink toned balm to really celebrate the summer vacation vibes, and remember to re-apply frequently to ensure your lips are protected from the sun.

Fresh Skin

No one wants to slather heavy foundation over their face, only for it to melt off or cake a few hours later. Find yourself a reliable skin tint, so that you can get the ‘your skin but better’ look all vacation long. Don’t skip the SPF, and for maximum glow leave the setting powders and matte products at home.

A pair of heeled mules will look great whether you’re heading for the beach, enjoying an evening meal, or exploring a local market town on your vacation. In fact, you may find that you end up wearing them all vacation!

White Shirt

Is there any item of clothing that’s more hardworking than a classic white shirt? Wear it buttoned up and tucked into shorts in the heat of the day to protect your skin from UV rays, or leave it open and layered over a nice dress for an evening event. It can even double up as a beach covering, too.

Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are chic and stylish, and can be dressed up or down depending on your needs. Layer the aforementioned white shirt over one to go out to dinner, or keep it simple with just the jumpsuit and your heeled mules for the daytime.

]]> Everyone loves to catch a few rays on vacation, but we’re all well aware of the health implications of deliberately burning or tanning. If you’re heading somewhere hot on holiday it’s super important to make sure that your skin is protected from the UV. Check out these vacation essentials which you’ll want to pack to ensure your skin stays out of the sun.

Sun Hat

A sun hat is an absolute essential on holiday, as it will protect your face and neck from the sun and help you to stay cool. Paper or straw-based versions pack down neatly, and a cotton-based cap can be folded in your suitcase.

Sarong or Scarf

Packing a sarong or scarf to wrap around your shoulders during the hottest part of the day is a great idea. It will be light and airy, and so keep you cooler than a top, while offering you protection from the UV rays.

Parasol

While it may not be practical to pack a parasol in your suitcase, it’s a good idea to seek one out if you’re poolside or at the beach. While SPF is a must and will help to protect your skin, during the hottest parts of the day it’s a good idea to seek shade. A large parasol will provide plenty of shade for you to relax under.

]]> As an island nation, the UK boasts some great surfing spots where pros and beginners alike can enjoy some clean swell and big waves. Check out these three destinations, each of which offers fantastic surfing conditions. And if you’re not into surfing, it’s still well worth visiting these beautiful beaches.

Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland

Although reaching the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides may take some time, it’s certainly worth it. You can expect white sand beaches and pristine water, and you will often find that you have huge stretches of beach almost to yourself. While this is great for relaxing and unwinding, you will want to make sure that if you’re a novice surfer there are people around, just in case you get in trouble in the water.

Woolacombe, Devon

The north coast of the county of Devon has recently been designated a surfing reserve, in recognition of the fantastic conditions that this coastline provides for surfing. Woolacombe, a sandy beach stretching for over three miles, is one of the most popular destinations. Experts and beginners alike enjoy the big waves on this shore, and once you’re done with surfing you can relax with a coffee and cake from one of the beachside cafes.

Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Yorkshire

This large beach in the county of Yorkshire has been popular with British surfers for decades. It can get busy, although for beginners it can be a relief to know that there are lots of others in the water with you. Once you’ve had enough of surfing, head to the funicular railway which will carry you to the top of the cliff for stunning seaside views.

]]> If you’re planning a hiking trip in the UK, you’ll want to plan ahead for the weather. In the summer months, you can expect everything from balmy sunshine to torrential rain and gales, which is why it pays to be prepared with your packing! If you’re someone who would like to look as chic as possible while climbing a mountain or traversing a coast path, here are some practical yet fashionable suggestions for your suitcase.

Culottes

Hiking in the UK often involves brushing past long grasses. If these are damp, the hems of your pants can often become soaked in next to no time. Wide-legged culottes that fall at the mid-calf are comfortable, cool, and practical enough to take on a hike. You won’t run the risk of damp hems, you’re less at risk of overheating due to the wide legs, and the pockets mean you can stash some energy bars for the hike.

Barbour Jacket

A waxed Barbour jacket is the epitome of British countryside cool. Breathable, waterproof, and oh-so versatile, these jackets are certainly an investment but they should last for years.

Hiking Boots

The amount of rainfall in the UK means that wherever you’re hiking, there’s a risk of mud. Avoid the disappointment of mud-stained, soggy sneakers by investing in some good quality, waterproof hiking boots. Some of the best styles are fashionable enough to be worn off the hike too, so the investment is definitely worth it!

]]> Most of us are keen to seek sunny climes for our summer vacation, but too much heat and humidity can spell trouble if you’re looking to keep your make up look sleek and locked down. This is why it’s a good reason to keep your beauty looks pared back and simple when you’re on vacation – check out these easy tips and tricks for the best summer vacation make up look.

Focus The Eyes

Ditch the mascara (which, unless waterproof, can end up running down your face in high heat and humidity) and bring out your eyes with some simple kohl or kajal pencil. This look is softer than liquid liner but just as effective, making it perfect for a day spent beach-side or by the pool.

Bring Out The Balm

A tinted SPF lip balm is all you need on your lips. Bold lipstick colors can look overdone and too ‘office-appropriate’ for vacation, and serious heat can cause lipstick bullets to melt. Opt for a baby pink toned balm to really celebrate the summer vacation vibes, and remember to re-apply frequently to ensure your lips are protected from the sun.

Fresh Skin

No one wants to slather heavy foundation over their face, only for it to melt off or cake a few hours later. Find yourself a reliable skin tint, so that you can get the ‘your skin but better’ look all vacation long. Don’t skip the SPF, and for maximum glow leave the setting powders and matte products at home.
