Travel: Booking a cheap weekend in Majorca

Photo by Ashton.

Instead of wasting my money on nothing like I usually do, I've decided I would rather spend my pay going and travelling places I haven't been. So far this year I've been to Amsterdam, Turkey and Majorca, and I've still got another Turkey trip and Iceland to go. None of my trips this year have blown a budget and I've kept them all quite sensible so I can go on a few rather than one big blow out one. As I love meeting my blog girls Ashton and Kirsty, we decided to book a nice long weekend in Majorca. I haven't been to Majorca since I was 17 and went to Magaluf, so I was intrigued to go back and see what it was like!

Things to do in Amsterdam

As you probably saw from my 800 Instagram photos, I love Amsterdam! I did have every intention to go back this year but I think I've ran out of time for the rest of the year and probably holiday money. Someone come with me next year pls. So after I've waffled about Amsterdam for months, I thought I would do a little round up post of the things you can do when you visit. We didn't get the chance to do everything, but I'm happy to visit more often and tick a little one off each time! 

I've been to Amsterdam in both Winter and Summer, and although I'm a total Autumn lover I much prefer Amsterdam in the Summer time. It's warm, but not crazily warm, and nice and sunny to look around all the beautiful places in the City.

John Frieda Volume Essentials

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, a good shampoo and condition duo is always the best place to start. I can always feel a difference in my hair if I use a supermarket brand on my hair compared to named brands like John Frieda. It's like when you go to the hairdressers and you hair feels like silk then you wash it with some Herbal Essences and it feels rubbish again, so a good shampoo and conditioner makes a heap of difference.

Joan Collins Compact

I've never owned a compact before, not even a Charlotte Tilbury one, how very non-blogger of me! I love how pretty they are, though I know they just hide in your bag, but can you imagine pulling this out your handbag? Better than me pulling out my 6 year old Mac pressed powder that I've hoarded. Probably about time I recycled that and replaced it with this. Plus it comes with the prettiest lipstick I think I've ever owned! I mean, how can this not be pretty if it's plated in gold?! And red lipsticks win every time anyway. 

My Holiday Essentials

So as you read this I should hopefully be sitting on a beach in Turkey, it's somewhere I've never been before but heard great things. So why not try it out, and hopefully get a tan in the process..! It was quite a last minute booking, so I don't feel as prepared as I usually do. Have that gut feeling I may have left something behind.. but at least I have these babies. These are my essentials when going abroad, otherwise I would be like a prune!
