July Favourites

The end of another month means it's time for another monthly favourites update. Let's get started. Johnson’s Baby Shampoo I was looking for a way to clean my makeup brushes and normally I’d buy a specific makeup brush cleaner. Yet those are always so expensive and I never know if they work properly. I remember ages ago on YouTube someone recommended Johnson’s baby shampoo so I decided to give it a go. All I can say is it worked perfectly. It cleans the brushes so well and because it’s a gentle shampoo I know it will be okay for my skin after cleaning my brushes with it. Plus it was very satisfying seeing the makeup coming off the brushes. Definitely something I’d be using again and again for when I clean my makeup brushes. I highly recommend it.  Bratz Rock Angelz PS2 I have a lot of ps2 games that I’ve kept for nostalgia but also because they bring back so many memories. I also am fortunate to still have my PS2 so from time to time I will play on it. I was looking through my g...

My Writing Journey 3

Image
This month, I'm going to be honest I haven't done an awful lot of writing on my novel. I've had other things going on and my novel writing took a little back seat. I'm hoping to really get back into next month and take it more seriously. I might even set myself a deadline to complete the first draft. Although, I don't know if I want to put too much pressure on myself but maybe setting a realistic deadline will be useful. Anyway, onto the actual progress of my novel.  Current Progress As it stands I've written 11,021 words so I have made some progress in my last update. I ended up writing the epilogue for my novel as it was one I was looking forward to writing. The best bit about writing is people think you have to write from start to finish but the reality is you can work on any chapter you want. You can even work backwards if you have a really strong idea for the climax of your novel. It's especially good to remember you can write any chapter you want, espe...

My Caravan Holiday

Image
Hi everyone! Last friday I just came back from a lovely five day break in Tenby. I went with my mum and we stayed in a caravan at Haven Kiln Park in Tenby. It was so lovely because with a haven holiday you get the entertainment, arcade, lots of options for food plus you're so near the beach. It was really nice. I took a lot of photos on my holiday and I thought I'd share them with you in a photo journal. Let's get started.  The caravan we stayed in was a three bedroom one. We used the spare room as a storage room which was handy as the little bedrooms are small and barely have any space in them. The actual caravan itself was spacious with a L sofa which also turned into a bed and a little dining table. It also has a kitchen with a hob, oven, microwave and fridge which is ideal for self catering. It was like a home from home. This was my bedroom which as you can see wasn't very spacious. It did have shelves and an open wardrobe where you can hang your clothes. Plus a mir...

Caravan Holiday Packing

Image
On Monday I'm going on a caravan holiday at Haven Holiday Park in South Wales. I'm so excited because I haven't been on a caravan holiday for several years now. It's exciting and different to a regular holiday but I just find it so cool. It's a home away from home where you're self catering but you have all the amenities at your fingertips plus a fully fledged kitchen and bathroom, living room and bedrooms. It's great. I thought I would share some packing tips and what I plan to take as I'm going away for five days. I'm hoping this post is useful to any of you going on a caravan holiday or if you're just going on holiday and are struggling with the packing, this might be helpful to you. Let's get started.  1. Plan outfits The one thing I've always struggled with when it comes to packing is clothes because I used to be the person that would pack things just in case. Another thing I'd do is throw random tops or trousers in my suitcase a...

It's the seven month of the year, we are now over the halfway point of 2025. It seems like only yesterday we were saying goodbye to 2024. Now we're finally in Summer. What a year it has been already, I got my first car. I've been on holiday in Majorca. I'm currently writing a novel. Last weekend, I went to Manchester and made lots of other memories. It's been a good year so far. This month is exciting because I'm actually going on a caravan holiday next week. I'm very excited about it because I've been wanting to stay in a caravan for a while. It's just me and my mum in a three bedroom caravan in South Wales. We're staying in a Haven park which is always exciting. There's always good entertainment and it'll be a nice week off. Even though I not long ago had a week off, it's nice to have another. I know with a caravan, it's a self catering holiday but it's exciting, you're still away from home. You're in a new place, yo...
