Excited.com!

So my lovelies, today i decided to do a bit of a rambling post as i feel so excited that i just can't focus on writing a review or anything serious i just want to write about how I'm feeling.

As most of you will know I'm off on my jollies Monday and i don't think i have ever been looking forward to a holiday so much. It's the first family holiday abroad that we have had and these last few years have been really stressful so i just cannot wait :) :)

I have been eating really healthy and calorie counting and managed to get down to my target weight by loosing 9.5 pounds so i am feeling really positive at the moment and my holiday clothes all fit perfectly. It's just deciding what to take that's the problem lol.

 Back in my skinny jeans

Yesterday i had my hair cut and coloured so my evil roots have gone. All i have left to do is a good exfoliation, fake tan and my nails. I love it when my hair is first coloured it always makes it really shiny.

Then of course there is the packing.
Here's what makeup i am taking with me:

OK i know i said i was travelling light but i just cant do it. I need to have choice and although its a bit embarrassing to say but this is a lot less than i usually take.

Hope you are all having a great weekend xx

What i'm packing in my suitcase Part 1!

Morning ladies, if you follow me on twitter you might have seen me babbling about my holiday in a few weeks time. I thought it would be fun to do a few posts showing you a few bits and bobs that i plan on packing in my suitcase.

Maxi Dress from Ark £19.99

This dress arrived this morning in the post and luckily it fits perfectly. I think it will be the most dressy outfit i take as i think evenings will be very casual but its always nice to have something a bit more glam to wear just in case.

Diamante Sandals £5 Primark

I found these sandals in primark and they were just under £5 i cant remember exactly now. They should go with lots of the outfits i am taking and are soooo comfy too. I can see myself wearing these most evenings. ( Excuse the tan strap marks. I forgot to wear SPF on my tootsies last week )



Next thing I'm packing in my suitcase is this adorable little Sun care Set which is a special from Liz Earle which costs just £32.20. It includes:

This cute Tote Bag which is perfect to hold your Suntan cream and sunnies

Mineral Suncream SPF 20 150ml , Sun Shade Botanical after sun gel 200ml

Sheer Pink Lip Shimmer & Sheer Gold Shimmer 15ml tube

I will be using the gold shimmer on my cheek bones and shoulders for sure when i wear my cream maxi dress. I cant wait to use the other products and i will let you know what i thought about them when i get back. I will just say that the after sun gel smells amazing.


So that's my Snippet of things I'm taking away so far. I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what you think? xx

Travelling Light!

Every time i go away i say to myself this time i wont over pack. Pffft i just cant seem to help myself.

Now this on its own isnt too bad but when you then have a 3 year old clothes and a 10 year old clothes ( which are nearly as big as mine ) you start to seriously struggle. So this year i am determined to travel light.
I have only purchased a few bits for myself so far:

Tan dress from Dorothy Perkins

 Cream Maxi dress from ARK

Khaki Shimmer Bikini from Matalan

I have come to the conclusion that i don't need a whole load of new clothes as i have a lot already that have hardly been worn. I am also trying to take more dresses, 1 piece outfits for the evenings which takes up less space.

Oh yes and the biggest thing. Take less shoes and toiletries. Eeek that is my biggest downfall when packing. 

I would love to know your tips on travelling light? I will do a packing post nearer the time.
