Whilst on my mission to find the best restaurants in Manchester, I discovered Asha’s, the Indian restaurant located on Peter Street which I was kindly invited to try out. Most of the Indian restaurants in Manchester serve very similar food and have the same type of atmosphere until the recently opened Indian street food style places. However, Asha’s is unlike all of these places, for its beautifully decorated interior, relaxed ambience and unique take on Indian cuisine offering premium foods such as lobster and truffle naan whilst also serving classic dishes with a contemporary twist. The restaurant does looks a little dark and uninviting from the outside but it gives it an exclusive feel to it and upon stepping into the restaurant you are immediately transported to a plush Aladdin’s cave. This is by far the best Indian restaurant in Manchester, the food is so delicious and tasty and presentation and service is second to none.

I rarely add makeup brushes to my collection as I have been using Bobbi Brown and Real Techniques for years now. However when I discovered these pink bristle brushes by UBU I couldn’t resist but try them out. This complexion tool kit comes with a foundation brush, powder brush and concealer brush, all made using premium synthetic nylon hair. The kit also comes with a foundation sponge which is great when applying a liquid foundation for a smooth flawless finish. I prefer using a foundation brush than a sponge as I find it easier to blend with. I don’t think these brushes will last as long as my full coverage Bobbi Brown complexion brush but they do feel great quality and for £10 the kit really is a bargain! Available to buy at Tesco, Asda and Amazon. I have been using my recently purchased Wonderglow by Charlotte Tilbury, this product acts like a a highlighter and primer and is meant to give you photo ready skin.

I recently experienced a little hair transformation at HOB salon in Hale which you may have read on my blog, (click here to read). Maintaining your hair colour is one thing, but keeping it looking healthy and in good condition is another challenge in itself. Over the last few weeks I have been trying out some hair styling products by GHD and couldn’t wait to review them. Lets just say this range has pushed all my other hair styling products to one side for a while! This range is not only beautifully packaged but the products really do give instant results.

Who doesn’t feel better about themselves when working out in stylish gym clothes! I recently discovered the womenswear sports brand, Pink Soda and my initial reaction to the brand was ‘another sportswear brand’ but after trying it out, I was really impressed with the quality and fit of the collection. After weeks of not wanting to go to the gym I finally felt motivated and got myself back to working out 2-3 times a week. The collection includes the ultimate sports bras, extremely comfy performance leggings and lots of graphic prints.
