Holiday Henna

I never realised that I didn't blog about my hand henna tattoo. A friend of mine Sofia at work did this for me a day before I went on holiday to Turkey. It was done 100% free hand and took about 25 minutes. I had previously looked at different designs on the internet and choose to mix it up. This is what I decided to go with. 

I haven't had a henna tattoo on my hand before but after seeing them all over my instagram feed I developed a huge love for them. The henna that was used was the natural henna so it dries to a dark brown and when either washed or picked off, which became very addictive came out in a pale terracotta colour. I think I would have prefered the black henna but I was told the black henna does have a lot of chemicals where as this one is 100% natural. When I was in turkey I was asked probably more than 10 times by tourists and turkish residents who did my henna tattoo, where I got it done and if it was permenant.

Al wasn't that much of a fan but I absolutely adored it, I was actually quite disappointed when it started to fade and then disappeared completely. When I glanced at my hand it the mirror on holiday it just looked so beautiful, It became more of an accessory. I like the idea of a permanent tattoo however 1 I am a wimp and 2 work would not approve.

Holiday Vlog | Paragliding | Kayaking | Horse Riding

I have been so naughty recently with my blog posts, there is a good reason for it though. If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you will know I draw and and paint, so the reason I haven't posted in a while is because I am in the middle of working on a collection so I can get a store up online and start selling my artwork. I have created a Facebook Page, Instagram Account and Twitter Account to share my work and the process I take. My first online speed drawing is now on a new Youtube Page.

You can visit them all by clicking on the links below.

These account are in the very early stages and I am still working on them to gain more attention, but if Blogging and Youtubing has taught me anything. It takes time and hard work. I think some people try it for the money potential but what you need to keep in mind is its not near as easy as that.

The other reason for being a mute is I was on holiday in Turkey with Al and my Mum and Nan was in on a holiday there as well, so it was like a family affair. The holiday was so nice, it was early May so it was nice and quiet, a warm heat but not too hot as sometimes it can easily get like that in Turkey. This is my first Vlog on my channel after over a year of being on Youtube. I hope you like it and if you are thinking of going to turkey then definitely press play to see some of the sights of Olu Deniz. As Al didn't know what he wanted for christmas I bought him this holiday as his main present. It was so nice just to get away as work and life does start to take over so a break away from everything was just what we needed. We went horse riding in the mountains, on a boat trip around the bays, I went paragliding with my Nan as she was all for it. So it was a lovely time well spent.

Press play to see what we got upto and how nice it is in Olu Deniz, Turkey.

I hope you are enjoying the English Sun!

Cobalt Blue

This was an outfit I wore out to dinner with Alex on Holiday in Turkey. This Midi dress was such a bargain, I bought it last year for a wedding when I realised I had nothing to wear and was in a major rush to find something. It is cobalt blue with a mesh strip around the bottom of the dress. It can be worn casual with some flip flop or smart with heels, which is the option I went for.

I teamed it with this long yet light pale grey cardigan, some black block heels and a black clutch bag. Elegant and sophisticated. 

The dress was an amazing price at £9.99, it was a great day when I found this especially as I had nothing to wear to a wedding the next day. Organisation was not on key that week.

I wore my hair natural with a bit of water and hairspray and natural makeup, a hint of green under the waterline and a pale pink lip-gloss.

I do apologise about the poor quality images as they were taken on my mobile phone as was running late and Alex was trying to boot me out of the door! GIRL PROBLEMS!! I really liked this look so I felt I needed to share it with you guys.

Chat Soon!

Holiday Smart

First of all let me apologise for not posting for a while, I've been a little busy with work. I am now on holiday in Turkey, so I am currently laid in sun by the pool, sorry if it's rubbish weather in England :/ 

Last night was our first meal out and I've got to say I wasn't best pleased with my lasagne, however me and Alex grouped with my Nana and Mum who are on holiday as well. Drunk Nana is always an amusing experience. 

I thought I would go for more of a smart casual look for my first outfit of the holiday. It's a little chilly in the evenings so this long cardigan kept me warm but is very light weight. Even though it's grey the colours complimented each other very well, allowing the orange crop top to contrast against the outfit of choice. For accessories these black block sandals and this black glitter clutch just pulled it all together.

I hope you like this outfit, it's a nice and summery but it could easily work in any season. I bought these white jeans in the winter so it's all about personal preference.
