Hit the road Jack

When I was asked to be a security and safety expert for Tesco compare, the first thought that came into my head was to test it out to discover a new gem to have a hearty punch lunch. Always thinking about my stomach! As much I'm a London lover, I love all the quaint chocolate-box villages Essex has to offer and you can find some cracking little pubs that offer some amazing food. What could be better than chatting nonsense with friends in front of a cozy open fire stuffing your face?



The Old Windmill in South Hanningfield is an amazing find. With generous portions, friendly staff and an amazing dessert offering, you really can't go wrong. It's the sort of place where you can chat for hours and not even realise the time. With a menu of tasty pub classics such as fish finger sandwiches, juicy steak burgers, deep fried haddock and stodgy steak and ale pies it's the perfect comfort food. It's not too far from Chelmsford so you can easily pop into town for a spot of shopping to walk off the food.




The sat nav itself was a godsend. It was very simple to use and it found our location straight away. The directing voice was loud and clear so it couldn't be easier to follow. You didn't have to keep glancing down to check you were going in the right direction. The five inch screen was perfect for us to see the all important details as you don't want to be squinting as you're driving along! My boyfriend was very impressed with how it sticks to the windscreen - no sticky residue left behind! Boys and their cars eh?

Do you have any recommendations of tasty pubs in the West of Essex we can go for our next adventure?

Liz Earle Radiance Glow Bronzer




Liz Earle Radiance Glow Bronzer c/o
 
I'm a bronzer girl through and through. I think it's the Essex girl in me and I very rarely venture over to blusher. If truth be told, the pink slightly scares me. When I was kindly gifted this Liz Earle bronzer I did a little happy dance.
 
As with the nail polishes, the bronzer is part of the limited edition that drops this Spring. With a subtle shimmer, it can be used to help to highlight the cheekbones for that killer look. The great thing is it can be used on the eyes too so you're getting two products in one.
 
It's such a shame that it's not as noticeable on my face as it really is so pretty in real life. As it does have a shimmer, I didn't want to pile it on and end up looking like a disco ball. It's a bit too much to be popping to the shops! It looks perfect on the apples of your cheeks adding a bit of glamour. I can imagine it'll look even better once I've managed to get a tan. It's quite pigmented so I found using a little at a time to build up the colour worked best. That way it can work for both day and night. It would be easy to go a bit heavy handed and end up looking orange. The lasting power is fab and you can get away for a most of the day without having to apply more.
