Spring Skin Care Essentials… For me it is all about keeping my skin hydrated, fresh and oil-free. I’ve thrown in a recommendation for hayfever tablets as hayfever often makes my skin go red and puffy. Hope this is useful for some of you.

• No. 1 - Garnier Skin Naturals Moisture Match Shine Be Gone Mattifying Fresh Cream 50ml

I recently discovered the Garnier Skin Naturals Moisture Match Shine Be Gone moisturiser. Let me tell you, it is fantastic! Now, I am not a beauty blogger but in my opinion it feels more lightweight, refreshing and smooth than some higher-end beauty products.

• No. 2 Superdrug Non-Drowsy Hayfever Tablets x 14

These are Superdrug’s own hayfever pills. They work fine for me. I only have to take one in the morning and am ready to walk past freshly cut grass without having to blow my nose on repeat.

• No. 3 Johnson’s Daily Essentials Oil Balancing Facial Cleansing Wipes, for Combination Skin

I find that these go hand in hand with the Garnier moisturiser. My skin feels calm and refreshed after the removing my make up using only one wipe.

I haven’t actually been to FREE STATE KITCHEN – a new restaurant on Maryland Street, yet, but it looks really promising. We got a flyer through our door today offering 20% off on the first visit. And since I wanted to go for a walk tonight anyway, I decided to go there and take some pictures. It’s located just off Hope Street, close to John Moores on Maryland Street in what looks like an old Georgian mews house. I’m now planning on going there for my pre-birthday dinner on Wednesday night.

The flyer promises

Burgers / Deli Sandwiches / Brunch & Coffee / Homemade Desserts / Hot Dogs / Daily Specials / Seafood / Steaks / Cocktails / Wine + Craft Beers. A contemporary twist on classic American dishes and a secret garden.

Interesting & Yummy – with a capital Y. If you sign up for their mailing list, you can get 20% off on your first visit, too.

Free State Kitchen, No 1 Maryland Street, Liverpool L1 9DE
