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!!

LIFESTYLE: MY BUCKET LIST


I would consider myself to be a live my life kind of person, I believe that this is our life and we should live it to the full. I like to travel to places and experience things. If I have a week off work it's very rare that I would do absolutely nothing. I got to go to Orlando, Florida last year and that was very high on my bucket list. I'm so glad we went and although we couldn't really afford it, we made it happen because it's an experience and we knew we may not get the chance any time soon. It was amazing we had such a brilliant time. We also went to Dublin and to Ibiza last year and that's because I haven't managed to get onto a teacher training course so i'm working. Since we went to Ibiza we have got our own flat which is another thing that was on my Bucket list because I felt like i'd never be able to afford to move out and now I have and I love it! So i'm having to put other things on hold and we might not be able to afford any amazing trips like we did last year but its worth it.

MY BUCKET LIST 

  1. Personally I would love to travel, i'd love to visit the world and live in some amazing places. I want to see Australia, New Zealand, The Grand Canyon, New York, Las Vegas, Thailand, Paris and many more. This is my dream i'd love to drop everything, have absolutely no commitments and experience the world. 
  2. I want to get that dream job, I always wanted to be a teacher. I'm not sure if that's still my dream but I will do what I have to do to get there and get a job that I love. 
  3. I wouldn't be greedy but i'd love to be financially stable when i'm older so I could decide if I want to work, i'd love to just be able to spend everyday with Clint whether it's just at home or we could go out everyday and experience new things. 
  4. I have been to a festival before but I really want to go to another one, it would be amazing to go to one in a different country. 
  5. I really want to go Skiing, i've actually been looking for next year so that would be so so amazing, i'm slightly accident prone so i'd need to be very careful not to injure myself.
  6. Go Skydiving, i've always wanted to go skydiving. I might have to pop my name down and do it for charity - how amazing would that be! 
  7. Have a nice house, and a happy healthy family. 
I'm sure as I get older I will tick some of these off and i'll also add more to this list. It's really fun to think of things you want to do in your lifetime. I think most of my bucket list is realistic, I think it's wise to be realistic because chances are you won't get to be a millionaire before you die or sing on stage with Beyonce but it's also fun to add it too your list, anything can happen.

LIFESTYLE: IMPOSSIBLE EXPERIENCES



I'm one of 'those people' who always talk about winning the lottery and what i'd do if money wasn't an issue etc so I thought i'd share the main things i'd like to do. I went to Florida in America last year and it was amazing ! I loved Universal and the shopping outlets, it was the best holiday ever. We only visited Orlando, Florida and we drove down to Daytona Beach for the day and it was so relaxing just chilling out at the beach.

 I'd absolutely love to drive across America and travel to all of the different cities and states. I want to go shopping in New York and see the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls, I want to go for coffee in Central Park and go back to Florida and go to Disney World, the next place I really want to visit in America is Las Vegas, I know this isn't really impossible because I wouldn't be able to get the time off work to travel across America and I couldn't afford too.

There's so so many places in the World that i'd love to visit, including Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Paris, Bruges, Amsterdam, South America and many many more. I just wish there was a way I could go a visit all these places. It would be amazing if you could buy an experience day that got you out of work and was super affordable, and with it you could visit so many amazing places in the world and you got to see the wonders of the world.

If money was no object and you didn't have to worry about your commitments what would you do? where would you go ? Imagine that you could create your own experience day and the sky was the limit, what would you choose? Into The Blue have put together a competition and want to hear the best ideas you can come up with, head over to their website to enter

OUTFIT POST : White Leopard Head Vest

 Top : Persunmall *
Shorts: Vintage Levi's
Floral Crown: DIY 






Sorry the blogs been abit quiet this weekend, something is happening in my life thats huge! It's such a massive change and I'm not really ready for the world to know but you will find out sooner or later. For now my blog posts will probably be affected as i've been trying to spend very little time alone and so I haven't been spending much time blogging. I hope you guys will understand and i'm sure everything should be back to normal soon.

I absolutely love this top that I have been sent from Persunmall they have a massive range of clothing, shoes and accessories. I've teamed it with a pair of denim shorts and a floral crown for a festival kind of look but you could wear this with jeans or a skirt its so versatile.

REVIEW : Maybelline Baby Lips


Cherry me // Intense care // Mint Fresh // Hydrate - £2.99 from Boots













I had to jump on the Baby lips bandwagon. I had intended to stay well well away but then I spotted them in boots and daniel offered to buy me some so I got all the ones they had. I still want the other two and may have to get them online. 

First of all if your store doesn't appear to stock the Baby lips then ask someone. Maybelline don't have any official shelving or fixtures for the babylips so some stores are keeping them locked in drawers, my store had them hanging from those plastic things around the maybelline section and i've seen stores having them on random tables. This is the same situation in boots and superdrug. 

Cherry me is a tinted balm and i'm sure a couple of the others are but out of the ones I bought Cherry me is the only one. It's not over-powering cherry which is good because i'm not massive fan of cherry. It's super subtle and so moisturising which is lovely.

Hydrate and intense care are pretty similar but are both equally nice and Mint fresh is similar but with a minty smell. 

The baby lips are a blogger hype but worth it for £2.99 these are amazing little balms to pop in your bag for that added moisture. I love getting these out because they look amazing and so cool. I've had many people ask what they are and when they can buy them. For £2.99 get some now before they disappear!
