:: Adventure Blog #2 ::

Hello there girls! 

I am back with another #AdventureBlog Post - About two weeks ago I had the opportunity to travel for a day to the beautiful island of Sicily in the Mediterranean. We had to wake up extremely early to board our ship on time. 

Our first stop was Toarmina, arguably Sicily's most beautiful city! On the way there we had the opportunity to stop and take in the beautiful sight of Isola Bella, also known as the The Pearl of the Ionian Sea. There is also a narrow path which often connects the island to the mainland. Definitely in my plans to revisit and swim there! 

Once we got there, we had the opportunity to roam around and shop for a little while, before having lunch. I absolutely loved going around the little antique streets making up the beauty of the city! 

The views from this city are to die for! Not to mention the crystal blue sea surrounding the gorgeous island! 

We also enjoyed looking at the souvenirs which are made by hand by the locals. 

After having lunch, we made our way to the Etna Volcano (which is active) found on the east coast of Sicily in Catania. We hiked up some craters, and also visited the tourist shops open on site. 

I absolutely loved visiting this great island once again! Let me know where you've been lately; I'd love to read about it! 

Thank you so much!

Hey girls!

This is a relatively different post compared to the ones I usually post, but I've been given the opportunity to live a beautiful camping experience and I was intrigued to share it with you! I hope you'll enjoy it! 

I can't say that I'm the adventurous type, however I decided to go on this short camping trip. We left on Saturday afternoon and made it back on Sunday 10th. 

We had to walk quite a bit to get to the place where we set up camp, but the scenery was to die for - I started to appreciate the beauty of nature and the clean air. 

We set up camp very close to the sea, which made the experience that much better! 

After we settled down, we decided to go have a swim and watch the sun set! This was without a doubt one of the most scenic moments of this trip - everyone was very relaxed and calm!

We later returned, had dinner and chatted, and went to 'bed' (we slept on rock!). After a relatively harsh night (a new appreciation for my bed haha!) we went to look for some shore wildlife such as crabs, and we stumbled upon some peculiar creatures! 

After another quick dip in the sea, we packed up everything and started our way back up the hill. This time it was not as pleasant due to the heat and the lack of sleep; but nonetheless we enjoyed every minute of it and I am open for another adventure! 

We did not take much with us, apart from the essentials such as food and water. I personally took some sleeping clothes and the outfit as shown below. My shoes are from a local store in Rabat, my shorts are from New Look, and my plain white tee is from Pimkie. 

I went completely make-up free, so I brought absolutely no make-up with me. The only beauty product that I brought along was the Olay Complete Lightweight Day Fluid for Normal/Dry Skin with SPF 15.  I applied it throughout the trip to keep my skin hydrated and to protect me from the sun. 

I hope you enjoyed this post girls; it is quite different but I loved snapping the pictures for you! I plan to do similar posts more often, so let me know what you think! Have a great day! xx

:: Malta Fashion Week - Milica Trickovic Hunter ::

Hello girls! 

So unfortunately this is the last blog post I have about Malta Fashion Week 2016! It is all about the Milica Trickovic Collection called 'Hunter'. This designer is from Serbia, however she has been acting upon her childhood wish of becoming an international fashion designer. 

Her collection represents the eternal hunger of a woman for splendor and her yearning to catch the tread of glamour and transform into her daily wardrobe. The collection is made from shiny translucent lace adding a distinctive feminine charm! 

Here are a few pictures which were taken on her magical night! 

I hope you enjoyed this post! Stay tuned for the Malta Fashion Awards post which is to be posted soon! Thank you so much for your support throughout Malta Fashion Week 2016!

:: Beauty Travel Essentials ::

Hello there gorgeous!

So, I just returned from a weekend break, also known as the period of time where one does absolutely nothing except enjoy life and be as lazy as possible! However having said that, I still attempted to look presentable, so I decided I'd share with you the few beauty products I took with me; the ones I simply can't live without when away from home! 
The first essentials I wanted to share with you are my two favourite eyeshadow palettes. These are the Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadow Palette and the Essence All About Bronze Eyeshadow Palette. Sticking to neutrals allows you to easily apply bolder lip colours - which is what I usually go for! 

When it comes to make-up brushes, I carry with me the following three everywhere I go. The first is a wooden brush I got off eBay which I use to apply blusher. It genuinely works wonders, and I haven't yet found a better one! The next one is a brush called Smudger from The Body Shop, which I use daily on my eyebrows. Lastly, I use another brush called the Smudge Brush which I also got off eBay, (which came in a set) to apply my eyeshadow.

The next set of essentials have to do with skincare. Being away from home is no excuse to abandon your skin! I have posted a 'Favourite Skincare Products' post a while ago, where these products have also been featured - they are the holy grail for me! A quick 5-minute routine before bed will solve an amazing amount of skin problems, believe me! The products I used were the Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturizer, the Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Facial Scrub, and the Simple Kind to Skin Deep Cleansing Face Wash.  

The following products are what I call the basics (hence the look!) These are the four products which in my opinion, are a must! The first is the Essence Plump no Clump Mascara. My eyeliner is the Sibella Make up Milano. The blush varies between the Rimmel Rose  and Wynie Blush. The latter definitely wins on pigment though! Lastly, for foundation I use Essence Stay all Day Long-Lasting.

Now the lips- This is where I go crazy! I'm quite aware that I only have one pair of lips, but I still feel the need to bring seven lip colours with me! I feel that the lips complete the look! My favourite product is the Revlon Colour Burst in Standout . I love how moisturising it is, and also the smell! Another product which I love is the Essence in Barely There  (06)& On the Catwalk (04) Lipsticks. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, and you've found it helpful! Very exciting things are coming up which I can't wait to share with you!
