Seeing as everyone seems to writing seasonal content (don't get me wrong, I am definitely not complaining; I've got some great Spring outfit inspiration for some of these blogs); I thought it would be fun to do a 'blogs worth bookmarking' based around Springtime posts. Sitting in our airport waiting to board your flights can be somewhat dull - especially when you've looked around all the duty-free shops and your arm is about to fall off because your hand luggage is super heavy. So, whilst I spent half my time watching Lilo & Stitch and getting super over-excited about the fact that I was waiting to board a flight to DisneyWORLD, Florida; I delved into BlogLovin' and found some rather interesting reads and blogs worth a bookmark...
This was a recommended blog that I found on another blog, when I was working my way through BlogLovin, one blog at a time. Definitely a new favourite and one that I am certainly keeping in my bookmark folder.

Every person needs a 'go-to' lifestyle blog and this is mine...
Pack Your Passport
This lifestyle yet travelling blog is great but it is kind of super bad for me to keep reading; I mean, not in a bad way; on one hand it is an incredible read and there is some great advice within these posts but it is just encouraging reminding me that I should go out and travel/see the world, whilst I'm still young - #travelenvy
Nettle and Blackberry
How cute is the name of this blog? Seriously? With incredible product reviews and lifestyle tips and guidance; this blog is a must-read on a weekly basis.
Until the next bookmarking session, Au Revoir!

Just to give you a sneak preview of what's happening in my life currently; whilst you're reading this imagine two twenty-one year old girls running around DisneyWORLD, with a pair of Minnie Mouse ears on their heads. Such cool kids, right? Anywho, as we are currently loving life in Disney; here a just a few other things (including Disney) that I've been up to lately...
NEW PLACES TO SHOP
Addicted in an understatement. Seriously, I'm surprised my bank haven't got in touch with me yet to about how much I've been purchasing from Oliver Bonas & Esty recently. If you want something there is no doubt that Oliver Bonas and/or Esty has got in stock; I think the problem is I tend to find things on there that I don't really need but actually I just convince myself that I need it and I will find use for it. Recently I've purchased a large number of trinket dishes, make up brush pots and quoted frames; yeah I think I need to take a break. Oops.
THE HOLIDAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!
It's finally arrived and my excitement is about to erupt like a volcano. After waiting three months since booking this holiday, there is nothing more excited than meeting up with one of my best gal pals before heading to Gatwick to fly to Disney, Orlando. Ekkkkk! Whilst you're reading this post, I'll no doubt be running around Disney with a selfie stick in hand and Minnie Mouse ears on my head - yes I'm twenty-one and no I don't care! No doubt you'll hear all about my Disney holiday very soon!
HEALTHY EATING
Since my last 'that's life', I've been really into getting healthy and eating healthy - no doubt that will be straight out of the window, when I get to America - anywho, I've been really good lately; no snacks, unhealthy meals and I've been hitting the gym regularly. Everything I bake has had a healthy/fruity twist to it; seriously cinnamon and berry granola and apple flapjack are now my two go-to bakes for Summer 2016, I just can't seem to get enough.
FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY
- When a client tells you personally that you've done a good job!
- Having fresh flowers in the house.
- Being able to have the windows open all day without the risk of freezing to death.
- Everyone being incredibly happy and friendly because the sun is finally out.
- Finally being able to be in complete holiday mode!
Until the next time, once again that's life; Au Revoir!

Guess who is finally off on their holidays! That's right, me! Whilst you're reading this I am currently sat in Gatwick airport waiting to board my flight to Florida - thank goodness for blog schedulers! Finally after three months (I know three months isn't a long time but it certainly feels like it when you're waiting for a holiday) my best friend and I are jet setting - via Virgin Atlantic - across the pond for ten full-filled, Disney packed and Americanisation days in Orlando, Florida. *Air Grab* It's going to be strange having not seen much sunshine since my last holiday back in June, when I headed off to Portugal with my university chicks for seven whole days of cocktails, sunshine and the high life since we had just finished university. When heading off on holiday, I think the worse possible thing to try and work out is what you're going to wear on the flight; mainly because it's normally freezing in England and boiling wherever you're heading.
Any who, since this is my first long-haul flight across the pond; I instantly turn to our good old friend, Google, to look for what hand luggage essentials are must on a long-haul flight. There were a few essentials that I take with my on every flight; no matter if it's long or short, I go nowhere without the latest technology and painkillers by my side. Oh and no flight would be complete without a tube of Pringles or two - Sour Cream and Onion to be exact.
Here a few things that I will be chucking into my hand luggage, to keep me occupied during my nine hour flight to Florida:
The Beauty Must-Haves
- Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes
- Nivea Pearl & Beauty Anti-Perspirant Roll On
- Carex Aloe Vera Antibacterical Hand Gel
- Hairbands
- Nivea Smooth Nourishing Hand Cream: I love this stuff, it would've have unexpectable for me to leave it behind.
- Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion: Aeroplanes make my skin so dry.
- Vaseline Lip Balm - Rosy Pink: There is nothing worse than having dry skin and lips.
- Garnier BB Cream: Easy to apply, and adds a little colour, so I don't standout as a pale English man.
- Bourjois Paris Healthy Balance Powder - No. 53
- Powder brush
- Toothbrush & Toothpaste: A fresh breath is needed when you've been on a nine hour flight!
The Entertainment and Technology
- 2-in-1 Neck Pillow
- Sony Headphones: Sometimes, in-ear phones get a little comfortable.
- In-Earphones: Suitable for a nap when needed.
- Eyelashes Eye Mask: There always seems to be one person on the aeroplane, who like to have the light on when you're trying to sleep - so I'm coming prepared!
- iPad: Including Pitch Perfect & Tangled - Classic movies, if I do say so myself!
- Books: 'All The Bright Places - Jennifer Nixon' and 'Big Little Lies - Liane Moriarty'
- Fluffy socks: There is nothing worse than cold (especially cold feet) on an aeroplane because it takes forever to warm up again.
The 'Can't Leave Home Without Otherwise You Really Won't Be Going On Holiday' items
- Travel Wallet: (including US Dollars, Passport, Train Tickets, ESTA and Disney & Universal tickets)
- River Island Purse
- iPhone 6: Uploaded with kick-ass tunes and plenty of memory space for selfies.
- Principle Sunglasses: Need to be prepared when I land across the pond; bring on the sunshine!
Until I've landed across the pond, Au Revoir!
Love,
