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!!

TRAVEL : IBIZAAAAAA

***PICTURE HEAVY POST !!***


MONDAY - We've just got back from Ibiza, I thought i'd share a few things we did during our week in Ibiza. We got there on the monday morning. we had a little chill by the pool and then got ready for the Holi Garden Festival which is like a powder paint party. The music was amazing and it was so so much fun. The Dj was soo good and we met some lovely people and had such a good night!




TUESDAY - BOAT PARTYYY! we went on the Pukka Up boat party. It was so good, really chilled out. We sailed out into the middle of the sea and then the party started! The music was so good, ibiza is amazing! We met some really fab people and had such an amazing time, we headed back in land as the sun set, it was gorgeous. After the boat party, we had a cheeky burger king and then headed back to the hotel and got ready for Amnesia, Example and Pendulum were performing it was so good! The drinks were so expensive 31 euro for 2 drinks.





WEDNESDAY - OCEAN BEACH CLUB, it's a luxury vip style pool area. It's such a lovely day, we got a couple of sunbeds, and relaxed all day! The music is so good and was really chilled out. The pool is really nice and the drinks are good too! You could literally just chill on your lounger all day and they will bring over anything you need. I really enjoyed ocean beach, i'm so glad we went, as I had heard some mixed reviews.



THURSDAY - chilled by the pool and then went on a bar crawl, my favourite bar was Soulcity! They played some really good r'n'b music and it was a really good atmosphere. After the barcrawl we shared a KFC and went and sat on the beach front. Clint did a birthday shoutout in Soulcity and everyone sang happy birthday to me. 






FRIDAY - ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!
We had a chill day, went for lunch on the beach front. On the night we went to the Ibiza Rocks Hotel to watch What Hannah Wants. It was so good, we got 2 for 1 tickets aswell because it was my birthday. After the show we headed to the Ibiza Rocks bar on the beach as this is quite close to our hotel. We had a few drinks and I had a really nice birthday with Clint. 










SATURDAY - We got a water taxi over to Cala Bassa which is a gorgeous beach. It's really secluded theres nothing around just a small restaurant and the sea! We spent the day sunbathing and chilling out. We went back to the hotel and decided to get ready early so we could have dinner watching the sunset. We went to Kanya which is a restaurant just further along than Cafe Mambo and the sunset strip as this can be really expensive. We had a lovely meal and then had some frozen yoghurt and had some drinks at Cafe Mambo. 




SUNDAY - OUR LAST DAY BOO! We went to San Antonio beach and chilled out by Ibiza Rocks Bar. We had an amazing breakfast with pancakes mmmm and I had the most gorgeous frozen strawberry daiquiri on the beach. We had an amazing last day chilling and trying to top up our tans, We went to Tapas which you may have guessed is a Tapas restaurant. It was amazing. it just up a dark road opposite burger king on the main road by the beach. Its seriously amazing! It was so busy and they were fully booked up for the night. We managed to get a table though, the food was so tasty, it was the perfect end to our perfect week away!

I had such a great week and birthday! I didn't wanna come home and i'd go to Ibiza again, there is so so much to do! We had a great mixture of party and chilling out which was so perfect.




BIRTHDAY WISHLIST


 Smokey Palette : Urban Decay // Watch: Olivia Burton // Heels : Michael Kors  at Daniel Footwear
Bag: New Look // Sunglasses : Quay Australia at Asos // Camera : Go Pro 


My birthday is coming up next month! I'm so so excited because we will actually be in Ibiza for my Birthday. I have a few bits and pieces on my wishlist. First up is the Smokey Palette from Urban Decay, this has recently come out in stores and it looks amazing, I haven't had the money to buy it because of paying for the holiday. but I hope I get it for my birthday because it looks gorgeous. I'm a huge fan of Olivia Burton watches, I love this silver classic style. It would be perfect for everyday and would go with so many different outfits. I love these Michael Kors heels, these would be perfect for any occasion and they are so versatile. I love the pointed toe and the strappy style, they are so perfect. I love this tassel bag from New Look, it's a great summer to autumn staple. Fringe and tassels are perfect for summer / festival season but the brown suede style is a great transition for Autumn. I just want some cat eye sunglasses so bad!! I love these ones from Quay Australia at Asos, they are the most perfect cat eye style and I love the mirrored lenses, they would be perfect for Ibiza. And finally this is the only thing i've actually asked for. I neeeeed a Go Pro, I want one so so bad! I think i'll only get the Hero which is about £90 I want to get a feel for it and see what I think of them and then I might consider maybe getting a more expensive better quality one later on. 


I'm really looking forward to my birthday and going to ibiza, can you recommend any things to do in Ibiza ?  Have you been on holiday for your birthday before.

SUMMER MUST HAVES FROM CLARINS


With my holiday to Ibiza coming up I thought it would be appropriate to share some of the suncare bits i'll be bring along to Ibiza. First up is the Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control for the face, it has spf 30 and it protects against dehydration. This is a really handy size bottle and will be perfect to reapply throughout the day to protect my face. I have this spf 30 oil spray, this is suitable for the skin and the hair, its a dry oil with no greasy feel. This feels so good, i've used it a few times already. Its so perfect for ibiza! It enhances the tan and leaves your skin feeling so soft and smooth. Clarins UV PLUS UV+ This sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays to keep the skin looking young. I think it's important to use the right suncare especially when your on holiday because your skin isn't used to the  stronger rays.



HOLIDAY ESSENTIALS



WERE GOING TO IBIZAAA !! 

Incase you didn't know we've booked another holiday! we're off to Ibiza next month yayy! So I thought i'd put together a summer holiday essentials post! One of my must haves whilst i'm on holiday is dry shampoo, I usually only use batiste as its the best dry shampoo ever, but I kept hearing good things about the Lush one so I thought i'd give it ago! I've only used it a couple of times but its so good! I always give my hair a freshen up in the morning on holiday and then wash it properly on the evening. 
Aloe Vera gel is a must have when going on holiday, if you don't moisturise the skin properly then you will probably peel and get really dry and flaky skin. i love this Aloe gel from Holland and Barrett, I cools down the skin and leaves the skin feeling really soft and moisturised. 
This Clarins *face cream is a really handy size to pop in your bag, the consistency is nice and light making it perfect for the face. I love this salt spray from John Freda, it smells so good and gives the hair those beach waves and summer look. Next up are a couple of my favourite make up bits for the summer, I love the Loreal Paris Infallible matte foundation, it's perfect for my oily/combination skin type and lasts all day long. Its a nice light foundation but has good coverage, it's nice and natural for that no make up look. This bronzer from Clarins *is perfect for the summer, its so easy to create a more bronzed look,  I use a big body brush to apply the bronzer to my chest and shoulders for a tanned look.
The Clarins UV* plus day screen has spf 50 is perfect for the face and will be great for ibiza as it has that added protection thats needed on the face. I love these Firmoo sunglasses*, they have so many different styles and colour options. I always go for tortoise style glasses as they are a classic style and are really flattering.
