Holiday to Benidorm!

Hey everyone, hope you're all okay :) 

So last week I went on a trip to Benidorm for a week with my family. I thought i'd let you all know what went down...

I think the coldest it was for the week was probably 27 degrees and that was on a night! It was so hot - but with me going to Turkey not so long before the trip, I was used to the heat. And we had air con so it was all good.

We stayed at the Presidente which was okay. The pool area was lovely and we couldn't fault the food - but the hotel room itself was very basic. We just had three single beds, a bedside, a wardrobe and a bathroom. There wasn't really much room for storage and we were quite dissapointed with the lack of kettle (But don't worry - we went out and bought a kettle for 10 euros and it saved our lives haha!
But the food was lovely - and one night they served a beef dinner which I was so happy with. Nothing better than some beef, gravy and yorkshire puddings :)


We were in the centre really so we were right next door to a venue called Jokers. This was very loud on a night and our bedroom/balcony was right on the edge so when it came to peak alcohol time - we had to learn to block out the noise. We did get used to it further on in the week though.

One place I loved to visit was the 'Why Not?' it was really fun! It was a small family bar which had karaoke and cheap alcohol (which is always a bonus). I don't really know how to describe this place as it was basic but such a lovely atmosphere and great staff. I recommend it if you're looking for a quiet night.

Another day we took a trip to the beach. But this happened to be on the hottest day of the week and we only stayed 40 minutes because the sun was that hot you could feel yourself burning. Plus you had to pay for sun beds and parasols - no thank you! 
But I did go and swim in the sea and it was so refreshing. It was crazy with the water being so clear and when I had goggles on to look under the water you could see fish swimming around your feet - so surreal!

Another amazing thing we visited on the trip was Aqualandia. This place was crazy! Apart from the huge hill we had to walk up in the blazing heat - the rest of the day was great! We got in and got sunbeds to sit on to dry off and sun bathe. But the rest of the time was spent in the pools. 

I especially enjoyed a certain pool that went round in a circle that you could walk round to cool down. We kept nipping in that to cool off as it was so warm. 

I'm not big on rides but one I did go on was the rapids. They were so funny - although you do get packed on the ride with loads of other people so when you're waiting to go down to next level, there's about 10 people floating and you get packed like sardines. It was very funny though and I enjoyed being in the large rubber ring haha! I didn't take my phone on that trip though because it would be my luck to drop it with being surrounded by water :(

Also I'd like to thank Aqualandia for employing some beautiful life guards. They made the trip a lot better...

One night we went out to go see the comedian Crissy Rock and she had me almost crying with laughter. She was absolutely hilarious and said lots of jokes that you could relate too - which really helps so you aren't sat clueless! I would definitely recommend going to see her if she is ever in a place that you are or if you go to Benidorm.

I'm very pleased with myself for capturing a photo just as she looked over at us!

One of the days we went to the market where there was lots of stalls selling many items. Obviously the bags and purses weren't real - but we bought them anyway because they're cheap and who is going to see the different really unless someone approaches you and wants to check out the stitching...
We did compare the market to Scooby-Doo as once you've walked down a couple of isles the stalls begin to repeat themselves and you seem to have a lot of deja-vu. 
Here my mam kindly bought me a Michael Kors (but no Michael Kors) purse in blue and navy.
I didn't really see much else on the market so later on in the week I also got some pretty sandals and a bag to match my MK purse.

The final day we needed to kill some time so we decided to walk a lot of miles to go and visit Old Town. This place blew my mind with how beautiful it was!

It was old but looked gorgeous like something you see in a movie. And it was surrounded by beaches and the sea around it had people snorkling. It just blew my mind.

It was an amazing trip and I love my family to pieces - I love Benidorm it's so beautiful.

Here's some random pictures that I got randomly :)

Me and my uncle Col :)

Who loves a good snapchat banner by the pool? Me!

We got our feet eaten by fish! Such a crazy feeling - but surprisingly nice?

Starting Something New!

Hey guys, I hope you're all well...

So I have some exciting news!

I'm officially a contributor to the website VloggerGossip.

Considering I spend a lot my time watching YouTube and a lot of my time writing blog posts - how amazing is it that I've been given the opportunity to put the both together!

Vloggergossip is a website based on telling the latest news and updates in the Youtube world. It's just starting to be updated so it isn't as up to date as it will be once we get the ball rolling - but still it's all really exciting.

I write about the updates that's happening and I love it.

It offers the opportunity to get possible interviews with the people I admire, and the possibility to get sent their merch to review.

Also the good thing with this website just starting is that there's still opportunities for you to join our team. If you'd like to get involved then feel free to message me on any of my links - and i'll reply really quickly (I live on my phone). You'll be able to write about Youtubers and anything you spot that's happening in that media front.

I'm so excited for this new opportunity.

Although with working to build this website up to its best standard it means that I won't be writing a lot on my own personal blog. But you'll still be able to check out my articles over on the website.

July Favourites! 2016

Heyyyyyy,

Wow it's August already can we just take a minute to wonder where this year has ran off to.

I haven't really got any new beauty favourites as I haven't had the money to go out and buy new pieces. But I have a few random things that I've liked during this month and I thought I may as well share them with you.

Amie Petal Perfect Micellar Water.

I got sent this product off Amie and have just completed a review on their products which I will link here!

I've loved using this product to take off my makeup and with using on mornings and evenings to tone my skin it's made my skin so soft and I haven't had any blemishes appear when its my 'time of the month'.

It's a great product and in a large bottle which makes me happy that it's going to last me a long time.

I recommend if anyone is looking for a new micellar water that is good for their skin and made from all natural ingredients then go and check it out.
I used it to remove the swatch of eye shadow I done for the item below and it removes everything perfectly.

Seventeen Eye-shadow Easy On The Eye Palette in Birthday Suit.

I know this palette has been mentioned quite a lot in my blog and videos on my channel - but I've been doing a new combination of shades in there to create a rose gold which is my new gorgeous obsession.

I've been using the burnt copper(10) which is a metallic cream. I put this on the base of my eye and then I use the pink shimmer shadow called toasted almond(7) and pat this over the top of the cream and blend it in. It leaves a gorgeous rose gold shade. 

I'll show you on my eye what it looks like...

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer.

Because I went on holiday at the beginning of this month and tanned quite nicely, I haven't needed to use foundation (which has saved my skin so much!)

But I have been using my concealer under my eyes just to lighten up underneath them and it's made my face look a lot better.

It's had millions of amazing reviews but this product really is amazing. I use the fair(1) as it helps to lighten up well. I don't actually use this one to conceal any imperfections.

Clay face mask with activated charcoal. 
I got the one I use from Bodycare for under £5 and I've been enjoying using it. Although I wish it got rid of black/white heads as I have a collection on my chin and the sides of my nose :(
But when I use it, it leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. It washes away any impurities and cleanses your skin.
Is it odd that I love the smell? Yes maybe it is.

If someone could recommend a product that gets rid of black/white heads - please let me know!

Now for the random favourites!

The old classic movie - Three Men and a Little Lady.
Well I watched the first one 'three men and a baby' which is a classic. But I have the second film 'Three men and a little lady' on DVD so I put it on the other night and all I've wanted to do since is keep re-watching.
If you haven't seen it then you really need to - it's such a cosy film. Really funny and also has a few sad bits it (but nothing too major, you won't need any tissues I don't think).
I don't really know what to say about it without giving it away but it's based on a little girl who is brought up by 3 men. One is her biological dad and the other 2 are the other men who have helped bring her up. The mother left the baby (Mary) on the dads doorstep in the first movie and it's just a carry on. But watch it! I'm not giving it away.

A new read! - Beautiful Broken Things.
I've done a review on this book - click here!
I can't really say too much as everything to do with my opinion are over on that post.
But it's a really lovely book to read. It keeps you gripped. I read it on my holiday in a matter of a couple of days. 
I got it from WHSmith with the Zoella Book Club so it has a different cover to the original book. 

Lastly...
A thing I'll have to mention is my trip to Turkey. 
I don't really want to do a large post on the trip as I think it will bore you.
But basically the place was gorgeous and the weather was unreal!
I'll insert some pretty pictures here!

Also I'm going to Benidorm on the 20th of August which I'm considering vlogging! But even if I don't I'll take lots of lovely photos and make sure I dedicate a blog specifically to it.

Thanks for reading and I'll see yas soon!
