10 Happy Things (Holiday Edition)
Hiya, it's me again. I feel untouchable at the moment because I'm on an absolute blogging roll, let's see how long this lasts eh?
So like, holiday season is coming up as I'm sure you're all aware and for the first time in 2? 3? years I'm GOING ON HOLIDAY. In celebration of me going away in precisely two months time I wanted to put together a lil somethin' somethin' 'cos I'm dead excited, if you can't tell. Like screw the fact it's my 21st next month, just get me on a plane and out of this country as soon as please. No offence England, you're cool and all but I'm sick of seeing the same places, we need a break from each other.
Without further ado, here's a list of the ten things that make me super happy on holiday!
1. Duty Free. Need I say more?
2. Everyone knowing you've just arrived to the resort. Because you're looking like Caspar the Friendly Ghost for approx. 10 minutes until you go a lovely shade of beetroot.
3. The breakfast buffet. There's no such thing as calories or too many carbs on holiday, pass me the croissants.
4. Lemon Fanta. You can only seem to get it abroad, and even if they do sell it here, it tastes better on holiday - am I right?
5. Getting a tan, duh. You can instantly fool everyone into thinking you've spent two weeks in the Maldives... But probably not because you'll be Instagramming your surroundings every 5 mins.
6. Summer Clothes. Finally being able to wear the bargain jumpsuit you got in last year's sale before putting it away for another year.
7. Being make up free. Unless you're super organised (or rich) and have darker shades of every face product you own, the only make up you'll be doing on holiday is your contour and your brows. Heaven.
8. Coconut scented everything. Coconut conditioner, Coconut body butter. The smell of coconut and cocoa butter literally scream holiday at me.
9. Swimming. The only time I am willing to exercise, and by that I mean doing a few laps of the pool whilst catching a fab tan.
10. Late night kebabs. There's nothing better than walking round Hisaronu (where I'm going) late at night with a chicken kebab in hand, damn they're good.
Whilst writing this, I realised there are a lot of things I find irritating about being on holiday, ironically. But it's all good, because that means I can do another post about the things that get on my nerves so stay tuned for that!
What are the things that you look forward to when going on your hols?

Ooooh yes I totally agree with the coconut scent. I use it over the brighter months so that even if I'm not on holiday, I can *smell* like I'm on holiday :') There's def no such thing as too many carbs yas croissants

Me too haha! Mm croissants. x
DeleteI am going away soon too and I am so excited! I live for the coconut dreamy scent of holidays, but unfortunately I don't tan! But it will be great to get away and relax!

Ooh where are you going?! I hope you have a lovely time! x
DeleteI'm always a fan of reading happiness posts and definitely want to read more in the future! I've recently bought a coconut face mask that smells divine so I definitely agree about that x

DeleteI hope you have the best time (even if it isn't for a while!). I'm going to Rome in September and I'm so excited, but it definitely isn't a relaxing holiday, you can't beat a beach break :) xx

Aw thanks Han! I'll pack you in my suitcase and sneak you away with me :) xx
DeleteFirstly, your header is just the most adorable thing I have ever seen. Secondly, I was literally sitting nodding my head in agreement with every single one of these!
ReplyDeleteLemon Fanta is the ultimate holiday drink. Just the thought of it gets me in a good mood! And there is little better than coconut scented hair products and lotions when you're in the sunshine.

Thank you hehe, I'm so obsessed with my header!
DeleteI'm glad you could relate to this post - lemon Fanta is literally the best drink hands down. x
Oh how you make me want to travel and go on a holiday for the summer. Whereas I'm stuck in UK. But these points you have mentioned are so correct!
ReplyDeleteAmour Vita
I'm sorry haha! I've been itching to go away for so long. x
Deletehaha this post made me so happy! i cant wait to go away on vacation !

Aw thank you lovely! :) x
DeleteWell those nail polishes look super pretty, especially that pale blue.
ReplyDeletewww.themakeupaficionado.com
I also love the smell of suntan lotion, is that weird?! haha nice post :)
ReplyDeletesophee.co.uk
Nope, not weird at all - I do too! There's some fab smelling ones out there at the moment haha. x
DeleteI totally agree about Lemon Fanta! I'm also the same way about Orange Fanta, they both taste way better in the crazy heat than in the rainy UK haha. I love getting to go bare-faced during the day, although I do add a bit more to my face at the evening time. And YES for summer clothing. It's so good getting to wear a pair of shorts, finally!
ReplyDeleteAmanda Jayne | beauty, style, life
I totally agree - they're so refreshing. I tend to just stick to the lemon one now (or Fanta Fruit Twist) as the orange one sent me hyper when I was younger haha!
DeleteI'm so excited to get all my holiday clothes out again too! x
I agree with pretty much all of these! I'm off on holiday in two week's time so I have all of this to look forward to as well!
ReplyDeletehttp://insertmyblognamehere.blogspot.com
Aw I'm so excited for you! Have a wonderful time wherever you're off. x
DeleteLoved this! Duty Free is EVERYTHING, all the chocolate and makeup and booze haha x
ReplyDeletebritishmermaid.blogspot.co.uk
OMG yes, lemme at all the make up counters and share bags of chocolate please. x
DeleteCoconut is my absolute favourite thing ever! I love it so much!

DeleteHope you have an amazing holiday! I always go holidaying in England so I get jealous of people who get to use duty free!! Xx
ReplyDeleteThrifty vintage fashion
Aw thanks lovely. I've never actually had a holiday in England but I think I'd like to one day, just to see what it's like! x
DeleteDuty free is literally the best <3 x

ReplyDeleteWhere is Hisaronu? Cyprus is an amazing destination for summer holidays! We have lovely beaches and great nightlife here, I started going to the beach a week ago but the weather is still a little bit cold! I am travelling to Greece in two months (again) and I could not be more excited!!!

It's in Turkey! Cyprus looks amazing, somewhere I've always wanted to visit. Hope you have a lovely time in Greece. x
DeleteI've just been to Venice myself and most of your favourites applied to me there! You've got me excited to start thinking about planning my next holiday away now though :P I want some sunshine and a pool next! hehe.
ReplyDeleteAmber - ambambe.com x
Venice looks so beautiful, I'd love to visit one day! x
DeleteBreakfast buffets on holidays just get me really excited, even if they are kinda bad, it is always the build up to it which I love and trying some new food.

I absolutely agree haha! I usually stick to the same boring foods but I gotta make the most of my money haha. x
DeleteI love coconut scented everything! I wish I could relate to the getting tan thing but I just burn and just go back to pale :(

Oh no, I feel for you! x
DeleteOmg lemon Fanta is my most favourite thing ever on holiday, why does it taste so much better?? I hate being Casper when I first get there, there's always that group of people that are mahogany and look like they've lay there for weeks! Jel you're going away! xx
ReplyDeleteTamz | http://www.throughneweyesx.com
