Its finally summer and that means my travel plans can begin. I'm taking a few trips this summer some to different countries but others are gonna be just around the uk. My biggest fear is over packing for today im gonna show you some tips for that. Tip One : Limit yourself to a bag that's not gonna be to bulky or too big. When weekend trips come around  I tend to use a backpack as it's really easy to use and you dont have to bring a massive suitcase with you. Using a normal backpack that you can buy in a shop on the high street. But for week trips using both is fine. One as a carry on which I split the clothes in half and check my smaller bag so liquids can go in there (that's a different blogpost) Tip 2 : Using little bags for my underwear and sometimes  putting my tops that aren't so bulky at the bottom in a ziplock bag as it keeps them fresh and if something explode in your bag it isnt gonna get on your stuff.

Its summer finally and im so excited to share my local spots that i like to go when the sun is shining and it's just perfect places that really come to life. Grab a picnic and your in for a treat. this image isn't mine its from wales online A small town called Caerphilly hosts an event at the end of july called The Big Cheese which is the 24th,25th and 26th July .The castle that it's close to is a very historic one and it's a very old castle and it shows you how much time has changed since the times back then. The event it is a chance for companies to show off what they do and local business that most people dont know about. There is a funfair for young people and of course kids. There is a cheese race every year on a friday where teams compete to win prizes for their teams and just have fun. Its a three day event so friday is fireworks and the cheese race and then saturday and sunday everyone arrives to have a look around. On saturday and sunday a reenact

This past weekend the weather was beautiful so it made me want to start wearing pastel colours on my nails ready for summer. Rita ora is my fave women idol and I love her style.When I stumbled across the collection in my local superdrug i so had to try it as I love rimmel london as a brand. The first colour I picked out was this one called 300 Glastonberry. Its a beautiful coral pink colour and you can get away with two coats of this on your nails and you're ready to go. I got alot of compliments when i wore this polish at work and i was proud because everyone was wanting to buy it. I wanted to check out more of the collection. The second colour that caught the eye was this beautiful peachy nude colour called 408 peachella. its the beautiful nude but its also has a little pinky tone. It's not sheer at all and you only need two coats and it's completely matte. it lasts a long time aswell I have the polish on for about 10 days and it hardly chipped. It
