Hilton Strathclyde stay | TeilzC

Hello everyone, 

Myself and Andrew were lucky enough to receive some vouchers to use at the Hilton spa for our Christmas, so much stuff going on between little days away here and there we were only able to use them last weekend! 

We each received a stress care package which consisted of a 30 minute back, neck and shoulder massage and a 45 minute facial. We'd both never had either so were a bit nervous on what to expect. We were first shown to a lovely waiting room- that was relaxing in itself, the pastel colours, comfy couches and free coffee. What more could a girl want? 

Andrew was called in first, then myself 15 minutes later. The lady I got was called Natalie who was very kind as she knew it was my first time. She left the room to let me undress and get myself under the blanket. When she came back in she dimmed the lights and put on some relaxing music; when she began the massage she started telling me what she was going to do and asked if the pressure was alright. The 30 minutes flew by! I swear I must have fallen asleep I was that relaxed.  The facial was also brilliant! She started off asking how my skin was and chose out the products that would work best for me. Lots of lotions and potions were applied and afterwards my skin felt the softest it had felt in months! Would highly recommend this package and at only £55 for both the treatments and £10 each off the menu at the space restuarant, I would say it's quite the bargain! 

We decided to stay the night at the hotel also, having stayed here a few times before and loved it we used our treatments as an excuse to stay again. As it's not right in the center of Glasgow there are usually some great deals going about. We booked maybe a month and a half prior to the day of arrival and the deal we got was fantastic! £80 for the night which included access to the pool and other facilities such as the gym, sauana and steam room, breakfast which is a buffett style with everything you could imagine and dinner- which we were a little worried it was going to be a set menu and us both being quite fussy wouldn't go well. We were pleasantly surprised when the waitress explained that we each got £23.95 to spend on the menu this only excludes drinks. We each got a three-course meal and our total bill was £8 for the few drinks we had each. Could not fault that at all. Our room was right beside the lift, which we had never had before so we were slightly worried about the noise but the Hilton has thought of everything, between the hall and bedroom space there was another door to cancel out any noise- we never heard a thing! 

I would highly, highly recommend the Hilton Stathclyde- the staff are all lovely and we had a brilliant stay!   

Here are some of the photos I took on the night: 


Thanks for reading! Leave a comment of any hotels you thought were brilliant!

Zoella Beauty review | TeilzC


Recently I was given a few things from Zoe Suggs new beauty and bath collection from my lovely Andrew as I was feeling a little down in the dumps. It was the most perfect surprise; can't beat a good bath when you're not feeling the best. As you can see from the photo I got the fizz bar and the blissful mistful body mist. 

First impressions: The packaging is just beautiful, what more can I say? It's so girly and the detailing is just too cute. The pop of pink just adds something extra- it draws you in. I have always thought packaging is very important if you are trying to bring out new products and Zoe has done an excellent job! 

Blissful Mistful: This is the perfect size to throw in my handbag, doesn't take up too much room yet you don't have to rummage through everything to find it. The scent itself isn't what I was expecting, I was thinking of a very fruity and quite strong scent targeted towards a slightly younger person but boy was I wrong? It is a light floral scent, not too overpowering- it's just lovely. I also like that it is in a perfume bottle as usually with body mists I could just carry on spraying until everyone around me is choking on it but with this a couple of sprays does the trick.

Fizz Bar: I've used this twice now and both times my skin has felt so so soft afterwards! This is a fizz bar so just like a bath bomb it doesn't create bubbles it only makes your skin feel and smell lovely. It has the same scent as the body mist and makes the whole bathroom smell divine. What is great about this is you only need one or two square per bath so can be used 4-8 times which is brilliant! One tip I'll give you is to break the squares over the bath, first time I used this I had tiny pieces of fizz bar all over the bathroom floor but overall a fantastic product. 

We'll done Zoe! 

What do you guys think of the products?
