TRAVEL: Top 5 Secluded Places to Visit


Hello to all my lovely readers!

I hope each and every one of you readers had a fantastic Easter break and enjoyed eating all that chocolate as much as I did!

Travelling abroad (when time and money permits) always adds to my collection of rewarding life experiences. My wish is to travel to more places and explore it for myself. I want to absorb the cultural richness of each place, meet its native people and visit stunning beauty spots and heritage sites.

I love that invigorating feeling of knowing I am in a place far away and entirely different to the place I call home.

Always on the search to discover unusual travel destinations, I have comprised a list of 5 breathtakingly magnificent tourist attractions I one day want to visit. These are located in some of the most secluded places on earth.


TOP 5

SECLUDED PLACES TO VISIT





1

 Grand Canyon National Park,
    Arizona (USA)







2

Guilin, Guangxi (China)








3

Salar de Uyuni  (Bolivia)








4

 Glacier National Park, Montana (USA)










5

 Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland







Have you travelled to any of these places? If you have, please share as I would love to hear your experiences. Are there any other undiscovered or secluded tourist destinations that ought to be on this list? Do share!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Until my next post...

Decor: Bon Bon Jars


Hey!

Hope everyone's week is going well and you are all looking forward to eating some yummy chocolate Easter eggs this weekend!

Speaking of chocolate, today's post is all about those pretty and elegant Bon Bon Jars. The clear glass jars are just perfect for containing all those lovely bonbons! It is exactly what you would find in candy heaven!

These jars are usually used in the kitchen to store sweets and cookies, but why not put it to other good use? You could place it next to the bathroom sink to use as a classy way to store cotton wool or in your bedroom to show-off your entire nail varnish collection.

I love how these Bon Bon Jars have been used as a stylish centre piece to decorate dinner table or to display colourful sweets at fun themed parties. As seen in the pictures, Bon Bon Jars are not just used to store sweets and other things, it is also a great way to decorate your rooms and putting together a very impressive display at fun birthday parties and formal dinner parties.

Until my next post...

Decor: Tufted Headboards


Hey!

Hope your week is going very well.

Tufted headboards is the focus of today's post. Headboards really are key feature to any bed, regardless of size. Tufted headboards need not be outdated (I cringe every time I remember the heavily patterned, usually floral, tufted headboards from the 80's!), so long as you choose a tufted headboard that suits your bedroom, opting for upholstery in a muted colour. If your budget is on the larger side, why not go for one made from pure silk for an added flair, but only if you were going for that opulent look.

Below are some very well chosen tufted headboards that compliments the decor of each room. Notice how there are no (outlandish) patterns and the colours here are very muted, that is white, beige, duck egg, peach, grey and offish white rather than bright, vibrant colours.

Well I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did writing it! I do adore tufted headboards, which is odd considering how much I hated the velvet one I had when I was a child! I hope it has got you thinking about how you could bring a piece of tufted furnishing into your home, be it a tufted headboard like the ones above, or tufted borne settee, tufted ottoman or armchair. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Until my next post...
