Corfu Travel Diary: Day One

Oh, Corfu, I think I’ve fallen in love with you.

*that accidentally rhymes*

The Mr and I booked our trip to the gorgeous Greek Island at the beginning of July and ever since, I was looking forward to it.

Greece has always been on my to-see list and I’m so glad that we started with Corfu.

We stayed in Brentanos Apartments in Kaiser Bridge, Perama, Gastouri (25-30 minutes away from the Old Town via bus) which was a lovely and peaceful place.

Kinda forgot to take photos of the interior so that’s my apartment review out of the window.

There are a few things I will say in advance about the apartments:

1. The bed’s are rock hard
2. You have to walk up quite a steep hill in order to get there
3. The outside lights don’t turn off

Personalised Jewellery Holder

I love cute homeware items.

Every time I walk into Primark, New Look, H&M, Debenhams, ASDA, Tesco (and many, many more), I need to go and look at the homeware.

Just in case I want to pick anything up.

Because you know, homeware is cute and it’s essential.

The Sunday Post #38

Guess who is back from sunny Corfu?

Guess who is desperate to book another holiday?

GUYS, I’m really struggling.

We left the UK on Sunday and landed back on Thursday afternoon.

It definitely wasn’t long enough, but I’ll be going into further detail in the multiple blog posts which I’ll hopefully be writing in the upcoming days.

The Sunday Post #37

If you’re reading this on Sunday morning – I’ll be doing last minute packing.

If you’re reading this on Sunday afternoon – I’ll be in the airport.

If you’re reading this on Sunday evening or Monday – I’ll be in Corfu.

Blurb:

On a morning that seems just like any other, Robbie wakes in his bed, his wife Emily asleep beside him, as always. He rises and dresses, makes his coffee, feeds his dogs, just as he usually would. But then he leaves Emily a letter and does something that will break her heart. As the years go back all the way to 1962, Robbie’s actions become clearer as we discover the story of a couple with a terrible secret – one they will do absolutely anything to protect.

Holiday MakeUp

On Sunday, I’ll be on a plane heading to Corfu for a few days.

I can’t flipping wait.

I love travelling around the world, seeing new places, deciding on what to pack and more importantly, what makeup to take.

I haven’t bought any new products in preparation so in reality, its makeup you’ve already seen a million times before but still, I wanted to share with you.

The Sunday Post #36

Oh hey September.

Oh hey one week until I’m jetting off to the sunshine.

Oh hey crisp Autumn mornings.

I’ll stop now.

Learning To Drive At 26

Hi, my name is Emma.

I’m 26 years old and I’m learning to drive.

The norm in the UK is that when you reach the age of 17, you start driving lessons. Usually, you pay for them from your part time job and sometimes, your parents will always help you as well. If you pass by the time you’re 18, you may even get a car.

I remember being 18 and seeing majority of my friends posting photos of their new car and how excited they were that they could finally go to McDonalds at any time.

Driving gives you freedom and independence.

*Before I properly get into this long post, if you’d like to read about my weekly driving lessons, I talk about them over on my Sunday posts. 

Rimmel // Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour

We all know how much I love Rimmel.

There’s no denying that.

Every product which I try, I end up loving (apart from one, but lets gloss over that).

A few weeks ago, I won a bundle of beauty goodies on Twitter and included were two of the new Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour’s.

The Sunday Post #35

TWO WEEKS.

Yup, I’m beginning another Sunday post by letting you all know that I’m going away in fourteen days.

I just want to go now if I’m being totally honest.
