Week Three- Southend Pier & Centre Parcs

Arriving back from London, we spent the week with friends and my Nan, having a relaxing time, meeting up with one of met primary school friends for lunch and then anther one for dinner.

Southend on Sea Seafront, over looking Adventure Island

On a rather beautiful thursday, I met up with my aunty and her grandson, and we headed out to Southend seafront for the day. We had lunch at Varsity, and took a wonder down the high street to Southend Pier, which we caught the train to the end, (its a mile long, so with a 5 year old, he wasn’t having it!) Once we got to the end, we explored the Royal Life Saving shop, brought him a little turtle toy, and a sourviener for my nan. After having a look at Kent through the binoculars we headed back on the train to get ice cream, YUM!

__________

The next day we went to a place called Centre Parcs with my 2 aunties, 3 cousins and 2 second cousins. As a child I used to go to Centre Parcs all the time with my mum, dad and brother, so I have so many memories there, so I was looking forward to it! We had such a good time looking at the wildlife animals, having a tally of squirrels on our chalk board in the villa, enjoy the big swimming pool centre, it was such fun. If you live in the UK, its a must I think, for once in your life anyway.

Week Two - In London

Mother and I travelled up to London for the weekend. On the first day we went to Camden Market. I have not been there before so it was exciting to go! I loved it!! Talking lots of photos, and thankfully the weather was beautiful. That night it was party night, with it being mums friends 50th, it was at a restaurant called GEM located in Islington, it was lovely being with her friends, who are basically all aunties to me, just having fun dancing and drinking! The next day mother and I went to Oxford street to do a ‘little’ bit of shopping then it was back to southend for a roast dinner round my aunties.

Week One

Arriving safe and sound into Heathrow airport. Greeted by my aunty and uncle. Driving into Southend, not feeling to great, but we won’t talk about that !!

The first week was full up of seeing the family, and my nan! Getting settled in and all organised with our phones and cash. I went to see one of my school friends, who I have known since I was 4, so I was lovely to see her and talk about what has happened in the past 7 years. We went onto London, travelling on the train and then onto the underground. I forget how busy and how fast everything is, but I loved it!

Making an effort...

Do you ever wake up and feel like you can not be bothered making an effort with you hair, makeup or clothes?

 I just can't seem to get myself into that routine of getting up and doing my hair, then make up and then taking that final look in the mirror and making sure that there are not faults. Basically I have become very lazy, and I don't want to be like that. so Im making a turn in my life, half way through the year to change it.

So on holiday and after, I WILL make sure that I am up at a reasonable time so I can make an effort in my looks.


________________________________________________________________



To go there I have started by getting my hair done, nails painted, eyebrows waxed, so I am starting off pretty well I reckon, ahah!

June Favourites

Beauty

Indio,  Eye Cream

I got this product in my Bella Box a last month, but I have recently seen a change to my under eyes. I had not heard of this brand before, however I received eye cream & the moisturiser. This product can be brought on the Bella box website here, costing $84.

SugarBaby,  Bronzer and Shimmer powder

I brought this is Melbourne last november , I just saw it and fell in love with it! The Colours of the shimmer are just beautiful, also when you apply it its not too heavy nor shiny, its just right! The bronzer powder is quite good too, you don't need to much of it though, otherwise you will look too orange! I brought this in a little store and I can't remember the name, nor the price, however google SugarBaby, and I'm sure you will find something!

At Home

Yankee Candle,  Home Sweet Home

I have been looking to get this candle for ages, but always putting it off. When I saw that they were on sale, and in the scent I wanted, I couldn't say no! It makes my whole room smell of home. Remindes me of snuggling up on the cold on a cold winters night in the UK, watching old movies and drink tea. I love it!!

_____

Show

Game of Thrones,  Season 4

Wow. Just.. Wow. This show is basically my life for 10 weeks of the year. and its so worth it. Season 4 made me laugh, cry, clap with happiness and weep like I have never weeped before. This whole TV show is just amazing, based on a book by author George .R.R. Martin, there is a set of 7 or 8 books I think, so many, many more season to come. Until then 42 weeks to go until the next!

Mr Selfridge,  Season 1&2

I never though I would enjoy a TV show like this, but I was wrong, and couldn't get enough. My dad brought Season 1 for my mum for her birthday, so we have been sitting down and watching that, and then I found season 2 and zoomed though that, and now that season 3 is being film, well that can't come soon enough! It's about a man called Harry Selfridge, an american who came over to start up a department store in the 1900's, this is a true story and the show really shows how life was, I recommend watching this!!

_____

Music

Lana Del Rey,  Ultraviolene

She is God. I love her, and her music and everything else she has to offer.

This album I have been waiting for for ages. When I saw that my pre-order was available  it was then on repeat for like 4 days. On in the car, tidy up, before I went to sleep, ohh I love it!! 

_____

Game

'Faming Guy,  The Quest for Stuff'

I found this game through a work college, and then the addition started. Opps.

Its a simultaneous, completing quests to unlock areas and charters. Collecting coins and other items to buy more things, so on so fourth. It is available free on the app store and on android, you can play it through Facebook, add your friends and gain coins from them.

Book

'The Wrong Girl'   by Zoë Foster

This is the first novel I have read by Zoë, however she writes a column (well more of a page spread) in Cosmopolitan Australia. I really enjoy her writing type and I like cheesy love stories like this. I am not a big fan of reading, never really been into it, but I am trying out easy reads. I have ordered quite a few books from amazon & picking them up when I'm in England, EXCITING!!
