Below is my instagram grid, its very important for your feed to look cohesive and your profile photo should match your overall theme: What is your passion? Post what you love and think about daily - for example I absolutely love drinks (coffee, champagne, smoothies) + travel and I also love taking part in instagram giveaways - and have won some amazing prizes in the past.  So on my account I post a lot of super cool giveaways. I started with my own beauty and self care giveaway, all provided and sent by me and now I work with various brands who provide the prize and send it out to the winner. I only work with brands I love and use myself.  During the lockdown I have been focusing more on my instagram and also learning about instagram.

Mountain Restaurants Ideal 1850 Stunning terrace in the sunshine or cosy inside by the fire on a snowy day. I highly recommend the pizza with melanosporum black truffle & baby rocket leaves (€56). I also love the poké bowl with salmon & avocado (€29) and the sea bass (€42). Cafe Woody Le Super Megeve I love the detox salad . L'Alpette La Folie Douce Expect live music & cabaret shows, dancing on tables & drinking rose with this lively après-ski scene. Champagne & ex...

I went to Courchevel after Christmas for 12 nights and I had such a wonderful time. Richard Orlinski - Wild Kong We drove from Chiswick, London to Courchevel, Les Trois Vallees, which took around 12 hours, door to door (there was horrendous traffic from London to the Eurotunnel - it was Boxing Day, so everyone was on the road (visiting relatives they dislike - according to one of my travel partners). For Le Shuttle, we had a Frequent traveller Flexiplus pass, which means you can get on any train, and you don't have to worry about making it for a certain time, which can be tricky (when traffic is unreliable etc). There is an exclusive lounge for  FlexiPlus  pass members, where you can get complimentary refreshments and WiFi, but as we were travelling in a high vehicle, we didn't access the lounge and we also didn't have time. When we arrived, it was midnight and very snowy and magical, it felt like being in Narnia.     I hadn't been skiing...
