Finding Colorful Penguins at Waddle-On-Sea

Posted on August 11, 2025August 25, 2025 by Jupiter

The weather has been fantastic lately, so we have been by the seaside! We went with our whole family on Friday, but our focus was collecting sea glass, having a picnic, and exploring arcades. While there, Dann and I spotted a few colorful penguins, so decided to come back on our own at the weekend so that we could find some more. We came along with one of our friends, as there was a Pokemon event on, so we could collect some seaside Pokemon and spot some penguins! This penguin trail was Waddle-On-Sea, a yearly event that takes place from the start of July until the start of September, providing a trail of Penguins throughout Southend-on-Sea and Leigh-on-Sea!

Lightweight Korean skincare to prep for warmer days

Posted on August 10, 2025August 27, 2025 by Contributor

During colder months, it makes perfect sense to layer on richer moisturisers, balms, and occlusive creams. They help lock in moisture when central heating and cold air strip it away. But as the weather warms up, those same products can start to feel claggy, clogging your pores and sitting heavily on the skin.

That’s when you know it’s time to switch from protecting your skin from dryness to supporting it through increased oil production and environmental stress, like sweat, humidity, and UV exposure. Thick products can trap heat, disrupt your skin’s natural balance, and make existing breakouts or inflammation worse.

This is the perfect moment to turn to Korean skincare. Known for its light textures, layered hydration, and skin-soothing ingredients, it’s incredibly well-suited to warmer months. Rather than relying on one thick cream, Korean routines focus on building moisture gradually, with watery toners, gel creams, and lightweight emulsions that absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue.
