LA Wishlist

Hello, my LA trip is under a month away which is totally crazy and its is creeping up on me. Because we've had such a naff summer in the UK I will have to get a couple of bits so I am prepared for the weather over there. Here are a few things I have been eyeing up.

Quay Sunglasses - such a statement pair of sunglasses I am pretty much in love with them.

Birkenstocks - I know I will be walking around a lot so comfort is paramount, and I am one of those people who like the Birks look.

Tie Up Body - I can just see this and my Denim shorts for an effortless look.

Thanks for popping by!

Exploring St Ives

Hello! This is my last holiday post I've decided. St Ives is bustling town on the Cornish coast with two golden beaches, a harbour, plenty of cobbles, adorable little shops, oh and a Cath Kidston that I couldn't help visiting.

I can't help but thinking it would so much better without the modern cars hanging about in the streets, I wish somehow we could've gone back in time but taken our modern camera's with us haha!

Chocolate, Jelly bean and popping candy plus white 
chocolate brownie ice cream, so yummy!

Standing on the Island, which I'm pretty sure isn't actually an Island!

For those of you like me who have results day tomorrow, good luck :)

Adrenaline Junkie

Hello! This post is about possibly my favourite day of the holiday!


We spent the first part of the afternoon at Adrenalin Quarry, to have a go on the Zip Wire, which goes over a massive flooded quarry the slogan is 'Jump off a 50m cliff...at 40 mph', I originally found out about this when it was featured on the Gadget Show way back in 2009, when Suzi and Jason had a race and since then I've always wanted to go on it, plus my minor obsession with Zip Wires :) I loved it, I have a minor fear of heights despite my love for zip wires which makes no sense I know, so I nearly wimped out at the last minute but I am so glad I didn't, and I'd do it again at a drop of a hat!! For the first jump it costs £12 and for your second £7, there are better rates for groups of 10+. I highly recommend this :D Here are some clips form youtube!



After pumping my adrenaline up, I didn't think part 2 of the afternoon would live up to it, my brother and I went go karting at Kart World - when can I go again!!! All dressed up in my highly sexual orange overall feeling like an inmate at an American prison


We went for two ten minute sessions, our lil karts could reach 40mph, which doesn't sound that fast, but when you're really close to the ground it feels really fast, and my average speed was only 29mph! My highlight had to be taking over my brother, who doesn't enjoy beating your sibling at something haha .

Legless but Smiling

Hello, yes another blogpost about Cornwall, just wondering if I've gotten a bit carried away!?!


 On one not so nice morning my Daddy and I headed out to Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm, which was set up by the guy who used to run Austin Healey's that car company you might have heard of, who made cars like this, so there's a fun fact for you today! If you want to know more than I can ever tell you go and pop over to their website - link .


The farm has an on site shop, which I'm not gonna lie was the main reason we went to get a tiny bit of alcohol, I bought for myself the cutest little bottle (40ml) of Cornish Scrumpy, which was totally over priced but the bottle is so darn cute! We also bought Strawberry Wine 'a sweet full-bodied wine. Made with the finest strawberries pressed on our farm, this wine is just bursting with fruit and refreshing personality'; and Limited Edition Summer Special 'This Summer Cider is infused with a delicious blend of Citrus fruits including Oranges & Lemons...Enjoy chilled or mixed with added fruit and ice' .

Over the Hills and faraway

Hello, this post is about the area we stayed in, there were loads of public footpaths which were just enchanting, and I felt as if I had been transported into a fairytale, I could just imagine fairies appearing and that kinda thing; the views down to Perranporth were beautiful, in my opinion which I have seen with my own eyes!

Bath Time!

Hello, this is my first post Holiday post so please excuse me if I'm a wee bit rusty at this blogging thangg!

Our time in bath was short and sweet, but long enough to see quite a few of the sights, and have a nice walk around! It was a lovely sunny afternoon, and I'd like to go again to do some shopping get a proper feel for the place. Here are some pictures, hopefully showing off the beautiful architecture and the bath stone.
