@FoodiesFestival London Event
When the sun actually does come out, London is absolutely fantastic in the summer. I took a trip to the west and spent the weekend at Battersea Park for the London Foodies Festival. Now, there may not be a patio hanging out on the streets of London, but it appears you can drink literally anywhere outside, including a bus.
But that’s not all! They even had ice cream chocolate bars. FOR FREE! I’m freaking out. The ice cream Snickers bar gave me a food-gasm.
But beyond all the free food everywhere, you can actually learn a thing or two about making your own food. This guy had some audience members come up and cook with him. Fortunately I didn’t volunteer or we’d be stuck on a toilet for the rest of the night.
Did you know that the English love their sausage? I had no idea how many ways they can be made. The selection on street dog stands seriously need an upgrade.
Oh yeah, one more thing. Forget Strongbow. There’s a massive selection of Magners ciders — my fave is pear! Soooo refreshing.
If you missed it this weekend, check out the website for more locations near you.
Until next time, Cheers! @missamandachen

@PaulMitchellUK Festival Kit For The Summer
It’s the summer and I’m in London, England. What’s there to do? Apparently there’s a music festival every other day and people camp out for days in tents living off booze and crackers. Coachella, you’ve been served.
But let’s not get started about the duffle bag we have to carry all our wardrobe and beauty in. This is a place where band boys are in abundance and some decency applies. Thankfully Paul Mitchell thought of creating a festival kit they like to call Style Survivor.
The kit comes with five classic Paul Mitchell favorites along with a mini brush that fit comfortably in a cute leopard print bag. Check it out:
The Conditioner: Leave-in moisturizer that you can throw on your ends but also use on your legs and skip the body lotion!
Soft Sculpting Spray Gel: This spray-gel does the trick without feeling sticky, especially since you’ll be outside all day.
Awapuhi Moisture Mist: OMG this smells amazing and you can use it on your hair, face, and even on your clothes to smooth out wrinkles!
Hold Me Tight Hairspray: A finishing spray to keep your hair in place for over 24-hours.
Fast Form Cream: Definitely a must-have to tame frizz. Use it wet or dry to smooth out your hair instantly!
Oh yeah, the kit also comes with a set of temporary tattoos for you to brand yourself without getting in too much trouble. I’m #teampaulmitchellhairspray!
But the real kicker is this super cute purple paper boom box! I think it’s absolutely adorable and for only £40 you can’t go wrong! Find the next Paul Mitchell salon near you and happy festival-ing!
Xoxo, @missamandachen

Eeyores Birthday!!!!
Ayy cool world!!! So if your like me, you would have to ask yourself “What the hell is Eeyores birthday? and why do they celebreat the most depressing cartoon character known to man?!?!”. I have lived in Austin for two years now and everytime Eeyores birthday comes around, i ALWAYS miss it somehow and i never understand it anyway :).As you can see from the photos below, that folk just come out dressed in their crazy and always interesting costumes. Some reaaaaaaaaaaal characters :)..
How do th elocals really celebrate it?? Well for the uneducated, this day is usually used to smoke weed legally even in front of police officers. YEP you heard me right, even infront of the police! Makes ya think right??
The soul purpose of the event is to raise money for non profits, not a bad idea considering all the perks that come along with the event :)…Of course Attendant are ALWAYS encouraged to wear thei costumes lol
So the next time your in Austin, be sure to come by for some Very VEry VEry interesting times :)… -
