Kemasan jar-nya dikelilingi stiker dengan info produk yang lebih singkat seperti ingredients produknya dan uniknya, penjelasan yang ada di kemasan box dan jar masker ini semuanya menggunakan Bahasa Inggris.

Sedangkan pada bagian luar kemasan box nya hadir dengan dominasi warna putih dan pink serta memiliki penjelasan dan detail produk yang kamu perlukan.

Tekstur Scarlett Whitening Seriously Soothing & Hydrating Gel Mask :

Masker Scarlett ini memiliki teksturnya gel yang tidak terlalu kental ataupun cair dan ada bulir bulirnya seperti petal gitu, mudah banget diaplikasikan ke wajah bisa dibantu dengan menggunakan kuas.

Aroma Scarlett Whitening Seriously Soothing & Hydrating Gel Mask :

Masker ini punya aroma yang menenangkan yang ringan! Aku bisa mencium perpaduan aroma khas Niacinamide dan Centella Asiatica dari masker ini. Aroma Rose-waternya juga cukup ringan dan tidak mengganggu.

This is my favorite gel mask! Selama ini aku lebih sering pake sheet dan clay mask, dan aku baru mencoba beberapa gel mask. Tapi aku bisa bilang kalau Scarlett Whitening Seriously Soothing & Hydrating Gel Mask merupakan salah satu gel mask terbaik yang pernah aku coba! Untuk dry dan sensitif skin kayak aku, formulanya membantu melembabkan dan menyegarkan kulit muka ku dan tentunya yang bikin aku senang lagi selama pemakaian setiap hari ga ada iritasi atau efek samping. Aku biasa pakai sebelum tidur dan untuk maskernya sendiri aku menyimpan di kulkas.

review Scarlett Seriously Soothing Hydrating Cooling Mask

Sesuai ekspektasi banget waktu pertama kali lihat produk Scarlett Whitening Seriously Soothing & Hydrating Gel Mask, aku langsung suka banget sama teksturnya yang lembut, ada sensasi dingin di kulit, dan waktu di aplikasikan ke kulit wajah rasanya nyaman banget, apalagi waktu keadaan kulit sedang kering, kusam, dan capek.

Consider these features to find the right balance of sporty style that will be the most versatile in your wardrobe. 

  • Materials play a big role. Sporty backpacks are often lightweight, waterproof, and durable. These features are a great perk for all active lifestyles and give a sporty vibe to your look. Go more functional materials if you plan to make your backpack work for you.

  • Clean, modern lines with minimal branding makes a sporty backpack versatile when blending with a street style wardrobe. For a more athletic look, pick one with more statement accessories such as bold zippers and mesh pockets. 
  • Features like laptop sleeves, a variety of organization pockets, hidden compartments, and padded shoulder straps are essentials for a commute. Choose a travel-friendly fashion backpack with these features if the cement jungle is your place of play.

  • Sporty adidas Backpacks for gym and yoga to street style – Since partnering with adidas back in 2024, I’ve discovered a whole new range of their pieces with surprising sophistication. You can grab a sporty backpack from their new arrivals in bright sporty hues or neutral basics that works great as a transitional piece from gym and yoga to casual street style.

  • Dagne Dover for office to gym – I own a Dagne Dover backpack and it is durable and stylish. Made from sporty neoprene and big utility zippers— it’s on the sporty side but is still sleek enough to pair with high end fashion. Think of this athleisure backpack like Prada, but less edgy and on a budget. PS. It also makes a great diaper bag for all my moms out there.

  • Sportier options like adidas or Patagonia work seamlessly with streetwear or gym attire and have plenty of space to be hyper functional.

Untuk mengaplikasikan maskernya juga tidak sulit, kamu bisa menggunakan kuas. Scarlett Herbalism Mugwort Mask memiliki sedikit aroma seperti daun Mugwort tapi tidak terlalu menyengat.

My Review of the Space NK Edit Travel Edition

My Review of Space NK Beauty Edits 2025 – Travel Editions
My Review of Space NK Beauty Edits 2025 – Travel Editions

I absolutely love this edit. Apart from the fact that it comes in a choice of colours in the super cute beauty bags, I actually really love so many of the products it contains. Plus it really does offer up brilliant value for money.

I love the DedCool Xtra Milk Eau de Parfum and actually wrote about it earlier in the year. It a gorgeously soft and subtle skin scent with notes of bergamot, white musk and amber, and brilliant for layering with punchier perfumes. Read, DedCool Xtra Milk Eau de Parfum Review for more information.

Sunday Riley Aquamarine Melt Hydrating Cleansing Gel-Balm is their newest launch and I really like it. It has such a lovely texture. I have a full review if you need more details. The full size is pretty bulky, so this travel size will come in really handy.

The Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Cream is a brilliant moisture booster and great to get your skin summer ready. Read my Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Cream Review for more info.

I am really excited to try Amika Midnight Mender Overnight Strength Repair Treatment Mask because I’ve heard great things. Summer is the right time to give your hair a bit more TLC, so this is the perfect product to pack for holidays.

The scent of the Ouai Body Cleanser in Melrose Place is really good. The formula is nice and hydrating too. Perfect for summer.

The set contains the cutest pot of the Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream and it such a gorgeous cream to nourish dehydrated skin, and is great for when you don’t want to wear tonnes of makeup. I love it under my REESON Bronzing Balm and nothing else.

I haven’t tried the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist yet but  I am very excited to. I love the Jet Lag mask

The Patchology Serve Chilled Rosé Eye Gels are great then your eye area needs a bit of extra attention. They are the best prep for makeup as they soothe inflammation and reduce puffiness. 

Ole Henriksen Strawberry Gimmer
Ole Henriksen Strawberry Gimmer

You also get the Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Strawberry Sorbet Glimmer. I really like this formula (read about it here) and this shade is pretty!

The Space NK Summer Society Creaseless Clips are handy for pinning your hair back when you are doing makeup, and are a cute little extra.

And everything comes in a Space NK Medium Travel Bag in Strawberry, Mint or Lemon. Theses bags are brilliant because you can use them for your airport beauty bits, and the whole top opens up so you can access all the products really easily. I can’t decide which one if my favourite, but I did a poll on Instagram (follow me here) and Mint came out top!

The Ultimate Guide to 13 Fashion-Forward Travel Destinations in 2024

by Lina Clémence July 1, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


In the kaleidoscopic world of fashion, where creativity meets culture, and trends transcend boundaries, lies the allure of exploration for the style aficionado. Imagine embarking on a global odyssey, not just to witness the spectacle of the world’s fashion capitals but to immerse yourself in the very essence of style innovation and heritage.

For those with a penchant for fashion, the globe offers an array of destinations where the streets are akin to runways and the air vibrates with the buzz of design revolution. This journey is not merely about observing; it’s about experiencing the pulsating heart of fashion across continents. 

From hidden boutiques brimming with avant-garde pieces to bustling markets that showcase traditional crafts, each destination offers a unique narrative, a story waiting to be worn. Among these narratives, Sneakerzone.dk stands out as a haven for those who appreciate the art of sneakers, blending seamlessly into the fabric of fashion destinations with its cutting-edge selections.

So, pack your most stylish suitcase and prepare your wardrobe for an infusion of inspiration, as we unveil the 13 top destinations in the world every fashion lover must visit. Join us on a sartorial adventure that promises to dazzle your senses and elevate your style quotient to new heights.

13 Top Destinations in The World to Visit for Fashion Lovers

1. Paris, France

Fashion is leading in Paris, and this city requires no introduction. Everywhere one looks in this place of haute couture, one sees style and elegance.

The capital of France stands apart from other destinations with the Champs-Élysées and trendy Marais district, where iconic fashion houses and hidden boutiques await. However, what Paris stands for is its vibrant growth in vintage fashion.

This is due to the fact that its timeless styles have been repeated in the city for many years now and are never replaced. Discover the barely used looks from the ‘90s shops like Thanx God I’m a V.I.P. and Tilt Vintage to find vintage Dior pieces that have their own stories about fashion.

2. Geneva, Switzerland

Geneva easily belongs to the best skincare category. This Swiss metropolis is the home to the top five luxury skincare brands in the world that actually utilize water from the glaciers of the Swiss Alps. Along with Valmont Cosmetics and La Prairie, these are not the only high-quality brands that combine the purest ingredients with the purest Swiss water.

For instance, the water source used by Valmont is Val d’Herens, and the signature ingredients, including sea buckthorn and calendula flowers, are grown under full Swiss sunlight and without using any pesticides. In case you fancy something to really treat yourself, Geneva is home to the ultimate luxury skincare offers.

3. Milan, Italy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5ugSUIE4VQ

Milan, the city that proudly wears the cap of the fashion capital of Italy, is a storehouse for all the fashion-mongers. High-end fashion houses such as Prada and Gucci are only a part of the city’s image; what Milan is actually known for is cashmere and leather.

For those seeking a touch of olfactory opulence to complement their luxurious vibe, explore the enticing range of the best Gucci perfumes, adding an exquisite fragrance to your Milanese experience.

The likes of Brunello Cucinelli and Loro Piana have established Milan as the selective best for luxurious cashmere products. Visit their stores to see the best cashmere sweaters, scarves, and many other products. And with regards to leather, Milan has every aspect covered.

From jackets to boots to stylish winter gloves, you will be sourcing superior craftsmanship and classic aesthetics. You should also not pass by the Valextra flagship store or Il Bisonte in Santo Spirito for quality fashionable leather and high-end leather goods.

4. New Delhi, India

Travelers enjoy captivating New Delhi’s kaleidoscope of colors and textures, which seem to never cease. In terms of jewelry, New Delhi is an open cupboard. Walk through some of the well-established gemstone and diamond stores in the area and enjoy the silver and jewel-encrusted creations.

So, there were a couple of well-renowned shops, such as Khanna Jewellers and Hazoorilal Jewellers, where you could find rare jewelry with message patterns. And if you are looking for silk and other fabrics, then the Chandni Chowk is a wonderful place.

This amazing market showcases innumerable materials that you will hardly come across anywhere else. While New Delhi has a lot to offer in terms of jewelry and silk items, take a dive in the culturally varied elements of the city and shop for exquisite jewelry and silk items.

5. Johannesburg, South Africa

Johannesburg, South Africa

Johannesburg, however, could be described as a city that is more in love with creativity and street style than any other place in the world. Visit the old industrial complexes turned into shopping malls, for example, Stanley 44 and Victoria Yards, where you can witness the merger of streetwear and high-fashion talent. Such special places attract nature and those who boast the energetic character of Jo’burg, with green spaces and striking stores.

For lovers of leather, Chiefs of Angels (formerly Dry Bone Co.) and Colony Design should both be top spots on one’s ‘to-see’ list. There are art galleries, luxury shopping, the art scene, and even streetwear in Johannesburg.

6. Los Angeles, California

There is more to Los Angeles than Rodeo Drive and the famous luxury fashion house. This city is a safe haven for boutique shopping where the ‘small bodies’ have an opportunity to show off their products, mostly their cutting-edge designs.

Uncover your new go–to wardrobe basics at Fred Segal, The Odells, and LVIR boutiques, giving you a range of rare and selective collections. Be it a time-honored linen skirt or the trendiest midi-boots, LA’s boutiques have got you worry-free. The Row DTLA is a destination for the indo-informed shopper seeking out the effortlessly cool LA fashion and scene.

7. Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo, Japan Street Fashion

Tokyo is a city that works as a fashion trendsetter and is a source of fashion innovations. Be amazed at the city’s most exclusive shopping area, Ginza, or get engrossed in the hypes and whirlwinds of streetwear and vintage culture in the areas of Shimokitazawa and Harajuku.

The cuts in Tokyo’s art scene are next-gen, with every new design being almost a history of the past. Do not miss Matsuya, the biggest Muji store in the world, which is the place where the world of fashion and lifestyles meet.

8. Bali, Indonesia

Though Bali is not so popular as a place for big design houses or fashion events, it has become a home for bohemian chic and leisurewear. Particularly, Seminyak gave birth to a fashion movement that illustrates the combination of bohemian style and comfort.

From bespoke local boutiques along the city’s streets, find standout labels like Auguste Label, Magali Pascal, Little Joe Women by supermodel Gail Elliott, and Paulina Katarina. Plunge into the calm and mellow atmosphere of Bali, and stroll through pieces that are unique, but cool at the same time.

9. Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a bastion of trade and commerce, but that’s not to say that its fashion industry is worthy of the same respect. This cosmopolitan city also boasts a diversity of styles, from luxury to street, combining Eastern and Western elements.

Wander around Centrestage to see the streetwear scene, and go see what’s happening in Causeway Bay, and Central. Keep an eye on Chiefs of Angels for outstanding leather treasures that capture the colorful creativity of Hong Kong.

10. Seoul, Korea

Seoul is currently going through its cultural thirst, and fashion is a major contributing factor in creating this identity. Seoul has fashion for everyone, from K-Pop to streetwear, so it is no wonder that it is known as one of the most influential cities in the world.

Visit the elegant Garosu-Gil, one of the fashion streets in Seoul, where you will find hip stores and the Simone Handbag Museum. Shop in the bargain stalls of the Namdaemun Market and enjoy a bit of the night-time shopper hunting in the Dongdaemun.

Seoul Fashion Week and Seoul Girls Collection are K-Pop and fashion-meets-K-Pop extravaganzas for planning your trip during these events.

11. Buenos Aires, Argentina

Fashion in Buenos Aires, Argentina

One city that allows you to live in the past decade with its arms wide open is Buenos Aires. Napoleon Bonaparte, for instance, became the emperor of France in 1804 when he overthrew King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette.

The colorful and energy-filled nature of Buenos Aires Fashion Week is unparalleled, and you will get the chance to see the ingenuity of Argentine fashion designers up close. There are many varied offerings in Buenos Aires, ranging from classy vintage finds to trendy Argentine fashion, a destination that is a one-to-watch for fashionistas.

12. Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen is not as alluring as some of the other haute fashion capitals, but it has found a way to cultivate its own little corner in the world of fashion. El Hygge, a Danish idea that centers on the idea of coziness and satisfaction influences the style depicted in Copenhagen. Travel around the urban area and learn about the city’s boutiques where brands like the Norse Projects, Soulland, and Wood Wood signify the real Danish fashion.

Don’t omit Copenhagen Fashion Week which offers you the best in avant-garde, Nordic minimalism. Take a walk down the lanes of Copenhagen’s fashion district and enjoy the quintessential hygge lifestyle while you may even decide to buy a pair of sneakers.

13. Rome, Italy

Rome, Italy Street Style

Rome may not be as famous as Milan for fashion, but it has a unique blend of fashion and history that makes shopping a specialized allure that customers can enjoy. Explore the luxury of fashion at Via Condotti and Via Cola di Rienzo, which houses Bulgari, Gucci, Chanel, and many more.

Porta Portese flea market is an undisputed favorite hotspot for vintage fashion lovers. Travel through the aisles and discover the hordes of second-hand boho, mid-century clothing treasures.

And even if you’re looking for expensive department stores, Rome is ready to satisfy you. Plunge into the majesty of department stores such as La Rinascente and find yourself drawn to the harmonious character of Rome’s distinctiveness of history and style.

Conclusion

As we draw this sartorial voyage to a close, we’ve traversed the globe, from the avant-garde streets of Paris to the vibrant markets of New Delhi, each destination a testament to the boundless creativity and cultural heritage that fashion embodies.

This ultimate guide has not only showcased the world’s fashion-forward locales but also ignited a wanderlust for stylish exploration. May your travels be as chic as the destinations we’ve journeyed through, leaving you with unforgettable memories and a wardrobe enriched by the world’s finest.

TRAVEL | Explore Carolina Beach & Kure Beach

by Lina Clémence June 26, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


*Thanks to the Wilmington and Beaches Convention & Visitors Bureau for sponsoring this post*

My 9-5 life has been crazy busy and there isn’t much time for a weeklong vacation, so I’ve been intentional about exploring my own backyard for fall getaways. The NC coast is full of fun, history, wildlife, and good eats so it was a no brainer to head there to relax, decompress and rest. I chose to spend a weekend in Carolina Beach & Kure Beach. Although they share the same island, they have such different vibes. Also, the area is very lowkey, so it has a very authentic feel that’s not diminished by tons of tourists.

Whether you’re traveling solo, with your girlfriends, or with your family, you’ll find there’s something for you to do in Carolina Beach & Kure Beach!

Things to Do:

Sunrise Yoga – If there’s a vacation experience, I believe every person should have its sunrise yoga with Salty Dog Yoga & Surf in Kure Beach, NC. This class takes place right on the beach and encourages you to slow down and get in tune with nature. If you’re lucky you may see a pair of dolphins! 

The Fat Pelican – I’m a sucker for all things nostalgic! The Fat Pelican reminds me of the late 90’s arcade scene, there are lots of video games to play and plenty of space to kickback with your friends or make new ones on “Pelican Beach” which is right behind the bar! If you enjoy beer, you must add The Fat Pelican to your Carolina Beach bucket list. They have a walk-in cooler with more than 300 types of beer and wine! 

Eat Local – There are so many local eateries in Carolina Beach and Kure Beach that it was hard for me to narrow down which restaurants were a MUST to try. So, I decided to share all of them that I tried! Kickstart you day with breakfast at Malama Cafe.Whether you’re in the mood for a sweet breakfast or something savory, Malama Cafe has a healthy and tasty option for you. For lunch, Jack Mackerels Island Grill aka Jack Macks is spot for the freshest and most filling shrimp po’ boy on the island. Don’t forget to add the house made Old Bay chips! Enjoy dinner and a brew with a view at Carolina Smokehouse on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk. The smoked wings covered in their house made BBQ is top tier! After dinner, walk over to Havana’s for the most decadent chocolate cake in the Carolinas!

Carolina Beach State Park – The highlight of my weekend getaway in Carolina Beach was hiking through Carolina Beach State Park. The hike was led by Stephanie, a park ranger and environmental enthusiast! She led us through the Venus Flytrap trail that is home to over 5 different habitats. We were able to get up close and personal with several carnivorous flytraps and I realized they are 100000x smaller than they’re portrayed on TV. This hiking trail is wheelchair accessible and only 0.5 miles long so it’s great for beginners.    

North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher – Have you ever seen baby otters? There is a family of Asian otters at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher in Kure Beach, and their otter pups are the cutest things I ever seen! Sharks, rays, starfish, sea turtles, an albino alligator and many other marine animals call this aquarium home, and the staff is very knowledgeable about every single one.

Where to Stay:

When choosing accommodations for your stay, there’s one choice I’d recommend over and over again: The Beach Dragon. The Beach Dragon is a newly built luxury beach home managed by Carolina Beach Realty only 3 blocks from the heart of downtown Kure Beach and offers stunning views of the ocean. Honestly, you don’t need to leave the house for anything. There’s a heated pool, private access to the beach, a game room, and large living room stocked with Roku TV’s, board games, books, and plenty of Blu-Ray movies for you to choose from! The home is equipped with luxury amenities including a full-sized kitchen, family style dining table, and large windows that fill the entire house with lots natural light. The hosts of this vacation home went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable.

Carolina Beach and Kure Beach have become two of my favorite places to explore in North Carolina because of their authentic vibes, natural beauty, food scene and rich history. I look forward to hearing all about your NC coast travels in the Fat Girls Travel, Too! Facebook group.

Wales Road Trip – Accessible Travel In Wales

by Lina Clémence June 24, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


When looking for somewhere to celebrate Alfie’s 31st birthday, we really had no idea where we wanted to go. We had it in our minds that we wanted to do a road trip and even considered driving to Germany but then a friend said how beautiful North Wales was and that was it! As soon as I started looking, I couldn’t stop.

There was so much to see and do, and the fact it was only a 2 hour drive away to get to Wales was really appealing. We decided we’d do a little Wales road trip around the north of Wales and it was so beautiful. As an ambulatory wheelchair user, we found some great places for accessibility, and others that were only doable because I can walk short distances.

Day 1 Wales Road Trip

Stop 1: Gwrych Castle

Wales Road Trip - Accessible Travel in Wales, Gwrych Castle

We nearly turned around when we saw how difficult the terrain was here, but if you head into the ticket office and let them know you’re using a mobility aid and you can park further up on flatter, less rocky grounds! It is the most beautiful castle I’ve ever seen and being able to explore it was so magical. I would highly recommend a power chair as it’s all mostly uphill, but there is a large area where you park that you can see a lot of the castle. At £11 for two of us, I think it’s a great price and they do a great job at making it accessible so more people can enjoy it.

@georginagrogan_ Gwrych Castle Wales wheelchair accessibility was super surprising! @Gwrych Castle Head into the office and let them know you’re using a mobility aid and you can park further up on flatter, less rocky grounds! We loved exploring Gwrych Castle, it is truly beautiful! #wales #visitwales #GwrychCastle #wheelchairuser #accessibletravel ♬ original sound – Georgina Grogan

Stop 2: Llandudno

Llandudno, wales road trip

This is an absolutely beautiful seaside town that is really flat and easy to get around. We headed to the pier which was so busy (we visited on a Sunday) before heading for lunch a little further down where it was quieter. I quickly googled for seafood recommendations and Dylan’s Restaurant came up as a great spot. It’s a fully wheelchair accessible restaurant with a great accessible toilet, and everything really impressed us. We absolutely loved our food and really recommend it. They have several branches around North Wales and even have some shops and bakeries!

Stop 3: Conwy Castle

Conwy Castle

Conwy Castle is absolutely incredible, it’s so grand and you can see it for miles around. It isn’t wheelchair accessible though but they do let you know that straight away and give you a lot of information. They actually don’t even charge wheelchair users to go in, or their companions, because they realise you might not be able to see much! You will have to be able to navigate up a very steep hill, and then walk up 15 steps, with more random steps throughout, as well as lots of towers. I managed to get into the great hall and then let Alfie go and explore more. There are such stunning views here and I’m so glad we went in!

@georginagrogan_ Conwy Castle Wales is not wheelchair accessible, but they let you know at the ticket office and don’t charge you to go in! It’s up a steep incline and then 15 steps, with more steps inside. If you’re ambulatory and can manage it’s so beautiful with stunning views! #visitwales #wales #ambulatorywheelchairuser #conwy #conwycastle #walestravel ♬ original sound – Georgina Grogan

Stop 4: Conwy

The Smallest House In Great Britain, conwy, wales

Conwy is such a beautiful little town, I actually found it quite easy to get around although most shops and restaurants would have been a struggle. We went to visit The Smallest House In Great Britain, which I didn’t realise if you get there within opening times, you can actually go in! We just had a photo outside and carried on exploring Conwy.

Stop 5: Ixora hotel

Ixora Hotel

I picked the Ixora Hotel for us to stay at as it seemed quite central to where we wanted to explore and it’s a really beautiful hotel. If you’re doing a Wales road trip, I would definitely suggest this to be a place you stop! The accessible rooms were really impressive too but I have a full blog review on them.

Stop 6: Fairy Falls (failed)

fairy falls wales

We were so in love with Wales that we decided to try and visit a waterfall that wasn’t too far away. We followed the instructions of where to park, and then followed the route up an extremely steep hill, I felt like I was going to fall back out of my chair. That’s when the torrential rain started and we had to run back to the car, on full speed for me! Fairy Falls does sound like a lovely place to visit but I wouldn’t say wheelchair friendly based off the parking situation and just gaining access to the route.

Stop 7: The Old Ship

the old ship wales

This was a very random pick but oh my goodness, some of the best food we’ve ever had. We still drool thinking about it! We headed into this little pub just before they stopped taking food orders (they were closing earlier that day), and we were so grateful that they let us order. We didn’t have chance to read the menu properly and both ordered the lamb, but it ended up being half a lamb shoulder and it was flipping huge. The best lamb ever though, and we kept complimenting them! If you’re in the area, we’d both highly recommend.

Day 2:

Stop 1: Aber Falls

aber falls wales

This is described online and by others, as an wheelchair accessible route to a beautiful waterfall. I nearly fell out of my chair, feared for my life and I’m surprised my chair didn’t completely break, but it was magical and we absolutely loved it. I’d actually say if you do have a similar chair and you’re ambulatory, or a better chair with a 4 wheel drive, it’s well worth it. But I wouldn’t attempt it as a manual user or transit user, because it’s really rocky, uneven, up steep slopes, and overall quite a difficult trail. They advertise it as ‘accessible for all’ but a couple people on food stopped us to ask how we were getting on (they knew wheelchair users or had disabled children that used chairs) and said how much they were struggling.

Is Aber Falls actually wheelchair accessible? It really does depend on your type of chair and your disability. It’s possible for some people, but it is definitely not an easy trail.

@georginagrogan_ Aber Falls in North Wales is described as an accessible trail to the waterfall, but is it? My chair only really struggling towards the waterfall, most of the trail was doable but quite painful! You definitely need a power chair or power attachment, I wouldn’t recommend for manual wheelchair users or pushing someone sadly! Aber falls is really beautiful though and I’m so glad we experienced it! #aberfalls #wales #northwales #ambulatorywheelchairuser #accessibletravel ♬ original sound – Georgina Grogan

Stop 2: Bodnant Gardens

bodnant gardens wales

If you want something absolutely stunning and that has really great accessibility, the National Trust Bodnant Gardens is a true beauty. There are two paths marked with red for easy, or blue for harder and they take marking those paths very seriously. We had such a gorgeous time here, it was a welcome break for my chair with much easier terrain, so many gorgeous flowers, and we kept seeing people coming away with some, so we had to go buy a few plants for my friend.

There’s an accessible cafe at the entrance (before you pay to go in) and accessible toilet. It costs us £18 for two. (Please note wheelchair users and companions do get different rates for lots of places.)

@georginagrogan_ Bodnant Gardens – North Wales Looking for something wheelchair accessible to do in north wales? It’s a National Trust garden and it’s absolutely beautiful. There’s a red route for wheelchairs and prams and a blue route for a less easy route. With accessible parking, accessible cafe, and wheelchairs to hire, Bodnant Gardens is a gorgeous day out! @National Trust #northwales #wales #visitwales #bodnantgardens #nationaltrust #ambulatorywheelchairuser #accessibletravel ♬ original sound – Georgina Grogan

Stop 3: Tu Hwnt L’r Bont Tearooms

Tu Hwnt L'r Bont TearoomsTu Hwnt L'r Bont Tearooms

How can you go to Wales without visiting the most photographed house in Wales? We were told that the tearooms had scaffolding up, but it’s off now and they’ve just removed the greenery on the roof to do vital repairs so the house can be enjoyed for many more years to come. It’s still so beautiful. We made a point to go in and support them, as I imagine they might have lost custom with the scaffolding so Alfie had the welsh rarebit and I had some coffee cake, that was so nice I took the rest back with me! It’s not wheelchair accessible (obviously, but you know I still have to say) and I didn’t see a toilet so please bear this in mind.

Stop 4: Betws-Y-Coed

Betws-Y-Coed

Honestly everywhere in Wales was absolutely stunning but I knew we had to add this to our Wales road trip plans. It’s such a gorgeous little town, with a waterfall that’s really easy to get to and see (it’s on the bridge.) We pitched up for a while to enjoy the sun, people watch, and have a little drink. There are lots of lovely bars, restaurants, and shops so we also bought some more gifts for our family too.

Stop 5: Groes Inn

Groes Inn wales

Alfie made his own list of places he wanted to try for our Wales road trip and this was on it. The food in Wales really did impress us, I wasn’t expecting it to be such a foodie trip but we were really blown away. With this being our last meal, we really took our time. We sat outside in the sun, attempted to play Uno and ordered some starters to share, which included the best duck spring rolls of my life. They were that good, we ordered more for our mains!

We’d actually go back to Wales just for the food, but the views? The people? Everything is just beautiful there.

For day 3 we spent the morning at the Wave Garden Spa before heading home, but there is so much to do and see, you could easily extend a Wales road trip and see so much more. For us, this was a perfect taste of Wales and left us wanting more!

Have you visited Wales before?
