LIFESTYLE: BEST HOLIDAY MOMENTS



We have been so lucky to have been on some really incredible holidays over the last 4 years. Today i'm sharing two of those holidays with you! These have been my favourite holiday memories! I have been very lucky and have been on a lot of holidays. My parents took us on holiday every year since I was young and since then i've pretty much gone away every year since. I've been all over really, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, Florida and more. 

One of my favourite holiday memories was going to Ibiza, we went during September 2015 and it was one of the best holidays ever!! I had done research before we headed out on different bars and different trips we wanted to do but we were pretty open minded. We arrived mid-morning, early afternoon to our hotel and got settled and then we had a welcome meeting. We were staying in San Antonio so expected the hotel to get pretty loud and we wasn't sure if we would be doing many club nights and things like that. The welcome meeting was great! We booked loads of trips including a paint party, boat trip and club night at Amnesia. We had the best time! The paint party was soo good! I've never done anything like that before, everyone was so nice and it was so chilled. We got to listen to good music, outside in the warm and chuck powder paint everywhere!! We met some cool people, had some drinks and a really good time! The next day we chilled out and had a boat party in the evening, this again was so good! Everyone had a really good time and was just enjoying themselves. It was just the most amazing experience. The views and sunset was beautiful and we got to enjoy ourselves have a dance and meet some really lovely people. I loved Ibiza, the days are chilled and it's just such a beautiful place to be, the sunsets are amazing and the foods great! It's not all about raves and drinking but don't be put off we had such an amazing time!! 

One of my other favourite holiday moments has to be America!! We went to Orlando, Florida and it was incredible! I never went as a kid and as I got older and older I really wanted to go. We went for two weeks and got wristbands for Universal. We didn't do Disney as we felt this would have been too much for just two weeks and it would have been. We will do Disney in the future with our kids when they are older. It was two weeks jam packed with rides, food, waterparks and shopping! It was amazing! I need to go back soon!! We had the best time, it was crazy! It's not a holiday, you literally don't stop theres so much to do! We did all the rides and parks and had such a good time! I loved going shopping at the Florida Mall, the Sephora is massive!! I went abit crazy and brought back so much make up and Clint got loads of American sports clothing! We had such an amazing couple of weeks and we will do it all again! 


We always take sooo many photos when we go on holiday, on my phone and camera to remember the amazing times we have and it will be amazing to show our kids in the future. I always keep my holiday snaps backed up onto an external hard drive so I don't loose them as well as getting my faves printed out for our albums. It's so easy to get them printed out from websites like Truprint, you can upload your snaps from your computer or Facebook and Instagram making it super easy to get your photos printed out, they even have Photobooks which you can personalise, why not create a Photobook for each holiday!!

FLORIDA UPDATE


Sorry the blog has been so quiet over the last month or so...  You may already know that I recently went to Florida. I've been back for just over a week now so i'm still getting back to normality. I've been working loads since I got back so I haven't really had time to blog, I've also had a bit of writers block so i haven't been sure what to blog about.
I've decided to write a little post about some of the things we did in Florida. I'm hoping to do some more chatty / personal blog posts aswell as my beauty reviews and outfit posts.

We got the Flex park ticket which you can use across 5 parks over the two weeks we were there. This ticket includes both Universal parks, Seaworld , wet n wild and Aquatica. This cost us £209 each and we got this online before we travelled to the US. I haven't done Disney World so I did really want to go, but this was another £250 and I wasn't sure if we would have time to do everything so we decided to we would get Disney tickets whilst we were there. We didn't go to the Disney parks in the end because there wasn't enough time but we are planning to visit Florida again. Whilst we were there it was Spring Break so the parks were busy, we has fast track for the rides which is well worth it as the main queues did get very long. I loved both of the Universal Parks, the Harry Potter rides were great and Diagon Alley and Hogsmede are amazing. I bought myself a wand and a chocolate frog!

I'm not really going to rave on about the food because I wasn't that impressed with the food. It was quite greasy and I was ill quite a few times. I really enjoyed breakfast at Dennys and iHop, I think I had pancakes every single day.

We went to the water parks but I  only went on a few of the rides because I wasn't feeling great on the days we visited the parks. These were good days to have a chill on the sun lounger and a break from the shopping and rides.

Shopping! We actually travelled with Clints sister and her family and the main reason for their visit to the US was to go shopping so we went to a few different outlets and also to Florida Mall.
I had wrote a list which I brought along and I pretty much stuck to the list. Theres some photos below of my shopping, I went a bit crazy in Sephora and got some bits and pieces. I did go a little crazy but it's really cheap in comparison to here in the UK.

We also went to Daytona for the day. We spent the day at the beach which was lovely. The weather was great, we stopped by Daytona Speedway aswell. It was such a lovely end to the holiday to go to the beach and relax.

I had such an amazing time it went soo fast! I really want to go back maybe in a few years and want to go to the Universal Parks again! It was such a busy two weeks and you don't really feel like you've been on holiday because theres just so much to do there. I would really recommend it to everyone it was such an amazing thing to do and i'm so glad I got to go!
