Day Trip to Bournemouth.!.!.!

I just had to write my Blog name initials!

What better way to make the most of a Bank Holiday Monday than to go to the beach?!

Okay most people in London went to Notting Hill Carnival but I've been there done that and quite frankly just wanted to chill. So of course I decided to go chill on the Sandy Beaches of Bournemouth.!.

Yes.! I made the most of the Summer Fever offer!! Nails: Revlon - Cloudy
We got the train there and OMG it's two hours away.!. Luckily we were equipped with snacks and hot chocolate & coffee.!.!.

Sorry! (for the people whose faces are seen!)
Thankfully it was a glorious sunny day and I got to bask on the sun and too up my tan.!.!. (Bless my mum she got seriously burnt and when we got home we had to use Aloe Vera Gel)
Can't believe this is England!
My goodness the distance from the station to the beach is just....forever.!.!. And the Hills.! I can't imagine walking up and down everyday.!.....though I would end up having amazing legs...anyway.
Just had to take a selfie! and OMG the water was freeezing!!! Nails: Revlon - Royal

Also the SAND.!.!.! It's a sandy beach.!.!. After having been to Barbados a couple of years back all of the beaches I had seen had been to after that had just fallen sooo short of my expectations but Bournemouth had SAND.!.!.!. 

Unfortunately I couldn't make a sandcastle but instead I attempted to make a Octopus out of the sand.!.! I think I did okay...you can be the judge of it.!.!.
So have you guys been to Bournemouth??

Clacton-On-Sea (Mini Holiday)

Yes....I am one of those gals who go on holiday and take cheesy selfies.!.!.!

Okay I have been an awful blogger.!.! I've not posted anything recently, mainly because I was off on a little holiday with ma bestie from Summers Beauty on a Budget.!.!.

We stayed at a beach home (literally the sandy beach & sea was the back garden.!.!.!!.) down at Point Clear. I must say the peace and quite I experienced was almost scary... But very welcoming. I'm a city girl through and through, I'll always be used to hearing police sirens, cars and annoying neighbours.... So just having to hear the waves of the sea was refreshing.!.

Sunset!!
This was literally the view from the living room (the back garden ;) doesn't it look phenomenal? The house was amazing. I totally want a beach house.!.!.

Day 1


Traveling day, which I might add is very very boring unless you have food and music.! (Don't worry I was fully prepared)
Summer was already there as she and her family had arrived the day before, so we met at the station and we set of to the Pier to chill and then off to the Beach "Home".!.

Day 2

We mainly had a lazy morning, sitting outside basking in the sun, stocking up on that Vitamin D, and just wandering around locally. 
In the afternoon we hired those 4-Seater Bikes and rode around in them.!. My gosh they were so much fun.!.!....though definitely a huge workout.!.
And In the evening went in the fair and rode on as many rides we could and enjoyed killing each other on the Bumper Cars/Dodgems.!.!.


After we went into this really cute restaurant called Charnallies and OMG its just like a typical American Diner. I loved it.!.!. I was soooo nice and cosy...and cute. The food was sooooooooooo good. Of course I got the New York Style Chicken & Bacon Burger.!.!


Day 3


Much to my sad dismay I had to go pack to get back to London.!.!.and soo the morning was just spent enjoying my last minute sun soaking and silent peaceful atmosphere.

So now that I'm back and have no other engagements I'll try and post regularly again.!.! YAY.!.
