The Gleneagles Hotel overnight - an experience!

Image
The Gleneagles hotel was an experience and a half, this overnight wasn't just an overnight an hour up the road, it was a special little (massive) piece of heaven that made me feel like a princess for the duration of my stay.  From the minute we walked in the door we were treated like royalty and no request was too big or too small.  CHECKING IN We checked in with no hassle at all, when we checked in it was noted my birthday had just been and they wished me a happy birthday - a nice touch. We were also advised a £100 charge would be taken from my card regardless of if we wanted to use this or not, the £100 wasn't a hold on the card it was taken immediately.  Our arrangements were also made for breakfast to be brought to our room along with double checking our dinner plans (we booked a table well in advance as we were advised the restaurants would fill up fast). We were given our keys and a map of the hotel grounds...

Vale do Lobo & Villamoura (Portugal)

Portugal... ahhhhhhhh even the word Portugal excites me!  We have visited Portugal twice and have stayed in same villa in Vale do Lobo next too the Dunas Douradas beach club area also known as the Golden Triangle (we are booked up and ready to return this year too!)  WHERE WE STAYED Where we stayed...  So, I’ve went a good few holidays in my life but NEVER have I had luxury like this!  This area is a little slice of classy boujee heaven 💛   The villa gives off Kardashian palace vibes and is perfect for all occasions, we loved having so many options when staying in the villa.  If we wanted to go out and get glammed up?!  Yes gal you go for it!  Sitting on the balcony getting the lashes on and sipping a rosé that was perfectly chilled from the wine fridge (so boujee)  Or, we had the option to have BBQ’s and take aways while chilling out. We had the added luxury of having cars whilst staying at the villa, this allowe...

STAYING IN IS THE NEW GOING OUT

So, with all of the goings on in the  world currently our new normal is to stay in on a Saturday night instead of glamming up and heading out!  Here are some ways you can still enjoy some luxury during our time in!  Cant head out for some pizza and wine... Make it yourself!  Making your own is the best of both world - it gives you something to do AND tastes amazing, what more could you ask for?! M&S are currently selling fresh sourdough pizza bases as well as Margherita pizza base sauce and from there add any ingredients you feel like, Buffello Mozzarella seems to work much better than grated!  It doesn't have to be savoury it can be sweet treats too! Strawberries with some edible glitter work a treat as well!  Order in and treat yourself!  There's so many amazing companies just now that offer different at home delivery services, there's nothing better than premium foods being delivered to your door.  I've used "PINOT 2 YOU" (instagram an...

Introducing Me...

Image
Hola lovely people,  Its your new favourite gal here Pinot Blushing Belle! Theres not much more to know about me other than the title of this blog - I love all things Pinot wether it be a freezing cold Pinot Grigio white wine or a smooth Pinot Blush Rose as well a deep love for all things travel. I have done my fair share of travelling and love to fit as many holidays in that I can, from luxury hotels and villas by the pool in Greece and Portugal to wrapping up cosy warm to wander down the streets of Amsterdam and Dublin.  If its a break away - I'm your gal!  As well as this I have a deep love for make-up, I have can't live without products which are firmly placed on my repeat offender re-purchase list and items I have dropped serious dolla dolla on that have left me sobbing (a nice glass of wine is vital to get over the make up sadness)  If you add all of these things together you will create my favourite style of day - being on holiday having a nice glass of freezi...
