Summer's here


Hello my lovelies, as the weather has been hot in England recently i took the opportunity to make some ice-lollies rather than going out and buying them, spending lots of money. The two in the middle were simply lemonade in one mold and coca cola in the other for the classic ice-lolly flavours then to switch it up i took inspiration from BethanysLife youtube video on fruit ice-lollies which you can see here. Now i didn't really have a variety of fruits but i'd just been strawberry picking so i thought of just using strawberries and adding some water though if you wanted more flavour you can add more fruits or change the water for fruit juice. 
What's your favourite flavour ice-lolly?

Beach bag essentials


Hey lovelies! Since the weather is getting hot in England and seems like summer is here i thought i'd share with you my beach bag essentials.During the summer i tend to go to the beach a lot either with family or friends, since the beach is just a 30 minute car/train journey away. My beach bag changes but since i've had my Cath Kidston tote bag i've been using that since it's water resistant which is a plus, it usually fits in all my things... sometimes at a push but i love it! I always take a towel, my sunglasses and sunscreen, i like to use a moisturising face sunscreen with a high SPF as my face tends to burn quickly then just a regular body sunscreen. I then have my phone with headphones so i can listen to my music and a book (i'm currently reading Billy and Me by Giovanna Fletcher and it's incredible) watermelon gum, my makeup bag with just a tinted lip balm, collections creampuff moisturising lip cream, anti bacterial hand gel and a mirror. I also have my purse for if i wanted to buy a snack; usually with my family we take a picnic to the beach and just buy an ice cream or something which is always good.

What are your beach bag essentials?
