Sunny Spain Break. Day Three (Final Day)

Hey Jelly Beans.

Today is my last day. I really really don't want to go home. I have had far to much fun over the last couple days and I don't want to leave it here. I feel I have much more to explore and see here. Oh well I guess that means Spain? I Will Be Back!!

Today has been fantastic. For those of you who don't know me, I have a little sister who is obsessed with Bonsai trees. Well when eating breakfast I came across a little advert, advertising a bonsai tree centre which was just scream for me to go check it out. So off I went, and I wasn't disappointed!

 
 
 

For those of you who don't know what Bonsai trees are, they are miniature trees (shown above) which are popular gifts in the UK at the moment. The pictures above are just a few of the tree's that they have in this magical place. If you are interested in trees and small trees, this is the place for you to visit. I spent a good couple of hours looking around all the trees. They range from the size of a ten pence piece up to the size of a football in lots of different varieties'. I would seriously highly recommend paying this place a visit. Truly fascinating to see them all, and a free day out as there is not entry price.

Overall Experience.

My overall experience here is going to be one that I am never going to forget. From the shock of seeing how what other half live in Puerto Banus Marina, to the tiny tree farm. If you are planning a visit to Spain anytime, I could consider either staying or paying a visit to both these places I had the pleasure of visiting. Especially the Muses Del Bonsai Farm.

Vincci Seleccion Estrella del Mar Hotel.

The staff were fantastic and attentive. The room itself was exceptionally clean,  modern and spacious, overlooking  sea was a mega bonus. The hotel decor and upkeep was very nice and stylish. The restaurant food was of a high standard. I had a room service dinner one of the nights which was excellent and I was not disappointed when we went to the restaurant itself. The hotel breakfast offer a wide selection of great tasting ways to start to the day.

The hotel is situated in a quiet part of the Costa Del Sol and you will need to get a taxi into the centre of town, around 15-20 Euro's. But for a few days stay there was more than enough to enjoy and places to relax. Highly recommend staying with this hotel. I will be returning again.


Well friends, that's me done for another travel blog. I hope you have enjoyed reading what adventures I have been getting up too. I had best go finish packing now as its nearly 10pm and I have a flight to catch in the morning.  Speak to you again very very soon.

Take Care

Sugar and Crumb Icing Sugar Review

Good Morning Everyone. I love to cook, I love to bake and love to try new things. Hence why I started a cake and bakes business. There is one thing I love more than anything and that's trying new flavours. This is where the amazing brand Sugar and Crumbs come in. Sugar and Crumb have an amazing range of natural icing sugar and cocoa powder  that I just couldn’t refuse trying out. Not only that, it was the perfect excuse to bake cake!  Sugar and Crumb have a large number of icing sugars so I took the plunge and purchased a couple. Jaffa Twist, Bubble Gum, Coconut & Lime and White Chocolate and Raspberry. The package is stylish and  eye catching when it arrived. It contains recipes for simple cupcakes and also butter cream icing using the product. What I was also pleasantly surprised to find they can also be used to make fudge, meringues, marshmallows and other delicious treats. Obviously, I will be giving these a go at a later stage. A...

Mini Shopping Haul!

Hey Jelly Beans. As promised today is the start of Hixxie Pixie Mania!!!! So today, after work I went on a little shopping spree. Safe to say Christmas was on my mind and I had been telling myself all day that I was not to come home without something Christmassy for my room. 2 shops, 3 items all Christmas which I was super happy about. Let me show you what I have purchased shall I? So first I purchased this cute little number. A white glass vanilla candle with a red reindeer pattern on. I haven't yet burnt it, but they had one going in the store and it smelt divine. The store was a little gift shop that had so many nice Christmas items in I could have bought everything. The price I paid was a whole £1! Next up was this almost to cute for words bottle opener. Now I know I shouldn't be promoting alcohol drinking but when I saw this little guy with his little scarf I couldn't resist. As most of you may know I have the biggest obsession with owls. Well around Ch...
