For my Summer holiday me and my family went to Spain for a few weeks and while we were there I took a few pictures. I love Spain because it stores so many memories for me and my family as we have been most years since I was allowed to go on a plane. We went to beautiful beaches and ate lots of frozen yoghurt which by the way if you haven't tried your seriously missing out!





If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen some of these pictures. The photos of the animals are from when we went to a small parrot zoo, it had butterflies, kangaroos and tortoises and of course lots of parrots. And if you went on holiday this year where did you go to or where are you going to?

Today I thought I would show you some hairstyles that I think look really nice. There are 4 all together and I really love them.
1.  The first hairstyle is a half up, half down bun.
First you want to take the section of hair at the top of your head, then tie it with a hair bobble. Next twist the hair that is tied up and spin it into a bun on the top of your head, secure it with a bobble and add in some bobby pins to adjust the shape until your happy with it.
2. Secondly is two Dutch Braids, I love this hairstyle and have been wearing it a lot recently.
Split you hair down the middle so you have a middle parting. Then take a small section and start braiding it but every braid you do add a small section of hair. Keep doing it till you have no more hair to braid and then braid normally.
3. Next is a hairstyle my mum used to do for me when I was younger, Space Buns.
First put your hair in a middle parting and then bring both sides up into high or low bunchies. Then twist each of the bunchies into  a bun and add some bobby pins. I then pulled out a few sections of hairs at the front.
4. Last is a hairstyle that I love, it is two Dutch Braids to the back of the head.
Again put your hair into a middle parting and then take a small section of hair at the front of your head, then Dutch braid it but going directly backwards, stop when you get to the back. Then join both the braids together and tie them.

So that was 4 hairstyles, let me know if you try any of these.

As I'm on holiday from the 3rd to the 21st of August I thought it would be a good time to do a 'What's in my travel bag?'

First of all my bag is the Adidas Tricot bag in Navy Blue. I absolutely love this bag, it fits everything I need in and I really like the way it looks. For the airport I much prefer something on my back than on my shoulder as it's just way easier.

In the front pocket I keep all my electronics that I want to take so I have my iPhone, my iPod just for in case I want to go on it and my DS which takes up time in the car and on the plane. I also have a case with all mine and my brothers DS games in.

In the main section there is a pocket so in there I have a note book, my book which is the Abundance of Katherine's by John Green which looks really good and then my sunglasses from Spain a couple of years ago.

Still in the main section I have a mini pencil case from a old school bag from Roxy which fits quite a lot in, then I have my headphones from Pioneer. I also I have some Strawberry laces for the plane.

Next I have my Zoella collar bag and I keep hair things in, so hair bobbles, pins and a flower crown from New Look. I also I have a little red box which contains jewellery. I have my Ted Baker body spray which smells incredible and my hair brush.

 Last but not least is my makeup, I keep it in my Zoella 'Just Say Yes' makeup bag. So first I have my Makeup Revolution Iconic 2 Eyeshadow palette which is gorgeous, I also have my Colorsport eyeliner and my Kiko 401 liner. For mascara I'm taking my favourite at the moment L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes and my Technic clear mascara. I'm taking my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent and my Seventeen Instant Glow highlighter in Pink Bronze which is stunning. For lips I have the Tanya Burr I Found Nemo lipgloss and some Technic Juicy Sticks in light pink, bright pink and red.

So that is everything I'm taking on my holiday. Where are you going on holiday?

Last month I didn't really love too much things, but the things that I did I'm going to share with you today.

The first item is a mascara this is the L'Oreal Million Lashes. This is amazing, it really lengthens your lashes and makes them really volumized without making them clumpy, which is exactly what I look for in a mascara.

Next is a lip liner which I have been wearing on its own. It is the Rimmel lip liner in Eastend Snob. This lip liner is not the easiest to put on but with a little bit of lip balm it goes on so easy, it can also be quite drying but I don't mind it too much as the colour is a beautiful pink. Also if you aren't a fan of matte lip products try a lipstick over the top or a clear lip gloss.

Thirdly is the game everyone is playing, Pokémon Go. I have been really enjoying this game. If you haven't played it defiantly go and check it out. If you don't know what it is, you have to walk around and try to catch Pokémon, you can also crack eggs and take over gyms.

My last favourite is a Dorothy Perkins chocker. This one is gold with a golden circle in the middle. It is simple but looks really nice with most outfits.

What have you been loving recently?
