Trip To Paris

Hi everyone, I have missed writing blog posts, so today I am going to share with you all my trip away to Paris.

Some of you know that I play the flute in my schools band, which I love doing so much. I was lucky enough to go to Paris for our schools Music Tour, which contains amazing people who are part of band and choir. 

Monday 17th July 2017: 

We left just after 6:30am, after we packed the coach with all the instrument, suitcases, music technology and of course all of us! We traveled to Dover, to catch the ferry over to Calais. It was great to get of the coach for an hour or so, to stretch our legs and have a walk around. Once we arrived in Calais, we traveled to where we will be staying till Friday. We stayed in a student accommodation. When we arrived we took all of our bags to our rooms and then we had tea, which wasn't the best! 

Tuesday 18th July 2017:

Tuesday morning, we didn't have our hopes up that breakfast was going to be any good! To be honest it was alright but not the best. At around 9, we set of for our first day in Paris. Our first stop was the Montparnasse Tower: 

Our next stop was to our first performance of the trip. We played  on a band stand in the middle of a park, somewhere in Paris. It was so nice, lots of people stopped of and listened to us!

 Our Final stop was to the river Seine for a boat trip. It was 35 degrees at this point, sunny pariee did not disappoint us!

Wednesday 19th July 2017:
Sunny pariee has now turned into windy pariee! Of we go to Notre Dame, to preform. I have to say, this performance was probably the funniest performance in a long time.

A random photo!

After we preformed, we then got back onto the coach to go to aquaboulevard, which is a big swimming park, with so many slides and water sports. It was great fun!
Then here comes the traffic, travelling back to the hotel took longer than expected, Paris traffic is a nightmare!
After tea, we played out in the fields or around the hotel, playing football, pinball, a group of us done henna tattoos!





Thursday 20th July 2017:

The day everyone has been waiting for DISNEY! I'm not a huge fan of rides, but I had an amazing time. It was so fun walking around Disney, shopping (I brought an Olaf bowl, a magnet and some sweets), watching the parade. It so incredible, how much effort goes into Disney!

 

We left Disney around 6:30, to go to the Dream Castle Hotel, for our very last performance altogether before people leave in September to go to university or college.
Performing in such a massive open space, gave us the challenge of trying to stay together when playing as we couldn't here ourselves or each other. But from the video people recorded, it sounded amazing!

Friday 21st July 2017:
Home time! We left our hotel at 9:30am, and got the Euro Tunnel back to England at 4:20pm. I have never been on the euro tunnel, and it was so different to what I thought it was! All the way home we sang songs and had a laugh. We arrived back home at 8:20pm. It was sad, as it was all over and I wish it went on longer as I had so much fun and never laughed or smiled as much as I did in a week before!

I will never forget this amazing time!

Hope you enjoyed reading this 

I will be doing lots more blogpost from now on.

Another Travel To A Different Place In The World // IBIZA 2016

Hola (hello in spanish) 

On Monday 22nd August, me and my family flew out to Ibiza. Ibiza is a little island to the right of Spain. It was around a 2 hour long flight and we landed in Ibiza airport at 6:25. 

And the holiday began...

We stayed in and all inclusive hotel in Cala Pala, a 30 minute walk from St. Eulalia. The hotel was amazing and all the staff and entertainment reps were all lovely and helpful. As it was an all inclusive hotel, it meant we can just go and help our self to food and drinks all through out the day, plus the drinks bar was open 24/7! So if you want to get drunk then you can. 

What I got up to: 

There was fun and games through out the whole day for all ages.

 Me and my brother done the Club Magic Dance everyday in the pool, which was such a laugh especially, we were some of the oldest doing it. We also done water polo, which is so hard if you are small like me, and people can only see your head when you are in the pool.
Also me and my family played a game of golf, which was fun even though I get bored very easily as I an't good at that either.

As a family we went down to the beach, as it was about a 2 minute walk, and we went on a clift walk from Cala Pala beach to Nikki beach, and the closer we got to Nikki beach the clearer and the more blue the sea got. I've never seen sea so blue before, so me being me, I took a lot of photos! 

Night time walks into St Eulalia. To get into town and the marina, it was straight up the road that our hotel laid on, so there was no option in getting lost, however this road was miles long, it took us about 30 minutes in the heat to walk, but at least I  may of burnt all the ice-cream I ate off, well some of it!

Swimming in the pool! This was what I got the most excited for every day. I never go swimming at home, so having 4 different pools to choice from, made my excitement rise. 

I don't tend to swim, its more mess around and look stupid, but who cares as no one knows you, and you all, got to have some fun.
Me and my brother done a lot of handstands competitions and throwing each other up in the air, as you are apparently 80% lighter in water.

Some Of The Best Parts Of My Holiday: 

1) Pancakes every morning for breakfast!

2) Getting a tan. If you know me in person you will know how pale I am, but my tan just looks like a normal white British person skin colour, unfortunately 

3) Cinderella (non-alcoholic cocktail), this was made by either pineapple or orange juice with this kiwi juice. It is heaven!

4) Club Magic Dance, as I mentioned before, this is a dance which you do with the entertainment reps about 5 times a day, its so funny and the song is so catchy 

Ibiza was a great holiday, and I would love to go back when I am around 18 to 21, with friends as we all know that Ibiza is a big party island.

Make-Up That I Wore On Holiday

Heyia, I hope you are all well!

I am currently lying on a sun bed trying to get a tan!

Todays post is what make-up I took on holiday with me. 

-Loreal Infallible Primer- 

Priming your face before make-up, gives a layer of protecting on your face, to hopefully stop makeup going into pores and preventing more! I love this primer as it makes my skin so soft and it smells really nice!

- Loreal Infallible Foundation- 

This is my number 1 foundation, so I took this with me, as its so easy to apply and it matches my skin tone perfect! Its a very build-able foundation, so if I want a more coverage look then this is perfect for that use.

-MAC Studio Fix- 

This foundation is currently too dark for my skin colour, yes I am basically as white as a piece of paper! So if I do tan then hopefully this will be ok. I rarely tan on my face and I don't know why. MAC Studio Fix, isn't one of my favourite foundations at the moment of time as I think its too watery and I think it will be better if you have a dry face. However when I am on holiday in the sun my face becomes quite dry, so this is a great foundation for that. 

-Seventeen Stay Time Concealer- 

For the days where I don't want to wear much makeup or if its extremely hot. As who wants to do a nice face of makeup and then for it all to melt of your face! This is great concealer if you don't want much coverage, its light and natural.

-Seventeen Stay Time Pressed Powder- 

We all have that go to powder which keeps running back into your make-up bag and this is mine, it stops the oily glow which you can sometimes get after you apply your foundation and it makes your make-up look amazing! 

-Collection Contour Kit-

Instead of taking a bronzer and highlighter on its own, this duo is perfect! The bronzer is very natural and buildable and the highlight is extremely good for drugstore! You can also use both shades for eye shadow too!

-Seventeen Blush (Nude)- 

For being a couple of pounds, you can not go wrong. This blush stays on so well and it is gorgeous for when you have a tanned face. Seventeen do a whole lot of different shades of blusher and they are all so pretty!

-Loreal Infallible Setting Spray- 

After I done my base, I love to use this and it sets my make-up very well and I have definitely seen a different in how long my makeup have stayed on my face since using this!

-Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara- 

My go to mascara, its easy to apply and lasts all day, its perfect to do a buildable black eye, and looks beautiful with a winged eyeliner! 

-Babylips (Cherry Me)-

Just a basic lip balm for every day use to not get chapped lips

-MAC Lipstick (Angel) -

Lovely pink shade, so easy to apply and looks amazing with a bright pink blush and a lot of highlighter. 

I recommend getting lipsticks from Duty free in airports as they are a lot cheaper!

-Kiko Lipstick (01)-

The perfect nude! Stunning colour for a natural look. 

Kiko lip products are so moisturizing and I love them so, so much. 

Let me know where you have been this Summer, if you have been anywhere or what you have done.

A Rainy Day On A Beach

A rainy day in.. 

(Well technically Poole, just snapchat thought I was in Bournemouth!) 

The Bournemouth area, is the area I spent most of my childhood up until last year. We spent every minute we could staying in a caravan on a camp site, to have a different scenery. As its the Summer holidays for me, I wanted to go back down, to see all of our friends but turns out no one was down. We don't have the caravan anymore as we done 7 years and thought it would be nice to have a change and go and see the world. 

Me, my Dad and Brother, left our house at 8am and got to Sandbanks beach at around 10:50- 

If you live in England, you know that we don't have a Summer, so to get on a beach this year was a very big step! However the skies decided to open. 

We decided to leave the beach and walk across to the 'harbour side' (its not actually Poole Harbour, its more just an area where people keep their boats, not the big nice ones!) 

On one of the Islands which is called Brownsea Island, is a castle, I think that has something to do with John Lewis called Brownsea Castle. On this island you might be able to spot red squirrels!

My favourite part about Poole is all the nice houses and flats, it will be a dream to live in one of them, click here to see some of the houses!

I am hopefully going back down to see Bournemouth Air Show, so if you would like me to do a blog post about that, then let me know!

Whats In My Carry On?

Whats In My

 Carry On 

 Hi

So its the Summer Holiday for everyone I think now. YAY!

Most families go away in the summer hoilday for a week or two, and as you all know I have been on holiday this year to New York and that was a 6 hour flight which went on for ages, so that was our main big holiday. But mum booked Ibiza for a week at the end of the holiday, which I am excited for. 

To give you all some help on what to put in your carry on, I am going to show you what I took to New York. 

Now I didn't take a lot as I just don't use it.

I used this Superdry backpack for my travel on as its easier to carry around especially you have to pull, lift your suit case too as well as hold you passports, boarding tickets. 

1- My phone- 

Taking your phone on an airplane is most of the time pointless, as once you get into the air, you can not go on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat nor text people and if your flight is an early one, you want to save the battery for when you get there to take photos.

2- Head Phones- 

Depending on where you are going, some planes have movies or T.V shows that you can watch, and sometimes they give you earphones but they are the rubbish ones. Its better of taking comfortable ones, I have a pair of red beats. 

3- Book- 

Now I never read, so its only there if I really need to do something otherwise it stays at the bottom and doesn't come back out. 

Thats all the things I took to New York with me!

Other things you may want to take: 

4- Purse- 

The reasons why I didn't take this with me to New York was because my mum just used a card and New York is a very busy place and I didn't want it to get taken. 

5- Makeup- 

The one bad thing about taking makeup is that all liquids have to be in sealed bags to go through security. Also there's no point in doing your makeup on the plane as everyone looks the same. 

Now your are probably thinking why did I take such a huge bag, that's because if you buy things when you go on holiday, you can put them in your bag!

If you are going away, I hope you have a fab time and let me know where you are going!

New York! ~ May 2016

Hello everyone!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went away to New York with my family for a couple of days in the May half term!

For today's blog, I would like to share with you some of the pictures that I took while I was there. 

In case any of you did not know where New York is, its in America! 

I stayed in Manhattan on 8th avenue, 44th street! 

The hotel we stayed in was amazing and very nice, the down side was that it didn't have free internet however a lot of the parks and cafes had free internet so that was ok!

 10 things I done while I was in New York :

1.Went on a horse and carriage ride around Central Park
2.Went up the Rockefeller and The World Trade Centre
3.Ate at Ellens Dinner
4.Shopped in Macy's and Sephora
5.Went to the island that The Statue Of Liberty is placed
6. Went to Ellis Island
7. Had a ride in a yellow taxi
8. Went on a cruise ride around Manhattan
9. Went to see 9/11 memorial
10. Watched a Basket Ball Game

*All of these pictures were taken with phones, so they are not the good quality the reason for this is because we didn't want the camera I mainly use to get damaged to stolen. 

View from The Rockefeller! 

Brooklyn Bridge 

The Statue Of Liberty 

9/11

View from The World Trade Center 

These are a few of my favorite  pictures from some of the places I went in New York, we did go to a lot more places but the quality isn't that good and I know post are not about the quality of the pictures! But I don't want to make anyone too jealous!

New York was a dream that came true for me and if you ever get the chance to go even if you hate flying, you should definitely go. The flight doesn't feel like 7 hours! 

I hope you enjoyed this little post!
