The Whites and Blues

Sunsets, parties and the blue domes. Mykonos is a dreamy island. From daytime beach parties to evening breezes, there is something for all ages and interests. The cobble stone streets and white buildings add a beautiful touch to the nature of Mykonos and makes everything seem brighter!

I was there with family which was unfortunate as there were many youngsters and party opportunities which I had to miss due to obvious reasons!

Seafood, which isn't one of my most favourable dishes was incredibly popular and despite the fact that it is a touristic hotspot, prices were not too extremely high. I stuck to eating risotto one night, lasagne the other and completed my week with five other Italian favourites - in Greece. Nice.

My favourite time of day in Mykonos was the nighttime. It felt as though this pretty little island came alive at night and everything looked extra special from sunset onwards. It was almost the only thing I looked forward to after waking up and going to the beach to spend my whole day soaking up the rays. Bliss.

It was easy identifying certain boutiques and stalls, nonetheless, getting to them was a big problem as we could never find our way out of the maze - like streets, which all happen to look the same. The warm hearted and friendly locals of Mykonos never held back in telling me how inappropriate my platform wedges were for the cobble stone streets which I felt was incredibly sweet and purely out of spite.

There were various white and red buildings which had the door wide open and looked like a place of prayer. After researching this, we found out that certain families in Mykonos have their own Church which they are responsible for all things in from maintenance to simply being a touristic attraction.

My selfie stick came in extremely handy on this trip, as it does on every trip, and I highly recommend it to those who are still, to this day being influenced by judgmental, ignorant and boring people who cannot understand them. If it was not for my selfie stick, this photo would not have been so detailed and included everything I wanted it to.

The Italian Gelato (ice cream) cafe's were another fantastic factor of popularity for Mykonos as it gave that summer in the mediterranean feel with a hint of Italy and the traditional Greek coffee; which is a lot more bitter and ground compared to other coffee.

Winter Wear: Seasonal Skin Food

It is no secret that we all want good skin. Age, gender or even climate is no exception to that rule so undoubtedly the first thing we can expect to do is jump on Google to find out which cream is the best and why. I would like to start off by talking about what little care I showed towards good skincare. In all honesty, I used to go for the most cost effective option of a range in which I believed to be a good enough brand, and would check on my cheeks to see how they're doing and made sure they felt smooth... Now what is "good" and how do you determine what is and isn't a good brand? Price tag? Reviews? Word of mouth? All seem pretty fair to me but what I have really come to realise is that if something isn't good for your skin type then it may not necessarily be good at all. Our skin is like the most delicate piece of clothing we wear and given how much exposure to pollution and harmful rays it has throughout the day, there has to be maintenance. Just

Perfume: The "P" in Peace

Perfume enhances our senses. Not just smell - but also the sense of being. Freedom. And it just makes sense... It's a subject which I have spoken about since I have been old enough to think and how it shapes so much of what we do and feel is so significant. Airport sprees are especially a highlight as it means testing new fragrances and deciding which one I want next. Finding the one and drowning yourself in the deepness of the bottle and the journey it takes you on is an exciting part of the trip. One of the main factors for me is the memory that you create with just a smell. When you use a perfume at a specific time or place, it helps store that memory and combines the scent with that experience - this is especially why I prefer to go on a perfume hunt when I am travelling! Being on holiday means that I get to relax and think about the perfume (which sticks to my travel hoodie and lingers in the hotel room for the week) and essentially, that scent becomes affiliated

Christmas in Amsterdam

Hey everybody! For the very first time, I decided that a getaway for Christmas would be a fabulous idea because apparently I didn't have enough excuses to travel, anyway! It didn't take me too long to decide that I wanted to go to Amsterdam as I had never been before ( considering its a 45 minute plane journey - a lot shorter than it takes a lot of us to commute from one end of London to the other! ) I found Amsterdam to be very pretty. Very calm. No hustle and bustle and very picturesque - so perfect for those who are passionate about photography! I did a lot of walking around, exploring; going down one street and ending up in a completely different neighbourhood because I don't like planning and if you're a spontaneous one too, Amsterdam may be the place for you! There are a lot of cute little buildings, great history and so much art to take in, in this adorable city! There is a lot more to it than the name and what it is actually known for. I didn't vi
