BATH AND BODY WORKS POCKETBAC
Tuesday, 11 November 2014
I has a bit of an obsession with hand gel about half a year ago, and to be fair I kind of got bored with my endless stock of Cuticura Passion Flower and Mango. When I was in Bath & Body works I was overwhelmed with the vast selection of fragrances of their PocketBac and I couldn't resist picking up a few.
My personal favourite is Island Margarita, it smells incredible and fresh. I don't actually know what Margarita's smell like, but, it is what I imagine. Fresh, clean and subtly zesty and tangy. Sweet Pea is basically (as the names suggests) a very sweet fruity-floral scent. Caribbean Escape smells fresh but also with a hint of coconut - the typical holiday scent in a hand gel.
The reason I like these so much is that they keep you germ free but don't smell too chemical like other bog standard hand gels, they smell divine so I basically slap these on as regularly as I can. I wish I had got more if I knew they'd be so darn good, I probably would have ended up with drawers full.

TWO WEEKS IN FLORIDA
Sunday, 26 October 2014
Yesterday I returned from my travels to Orlando, Florida with my family and grandparents from my Mum's side of the family. I had been building up to the trip on here for a few weeks during and prior to the holiday and I am so excited to share the pictures (somewhat random) and stories.
Something I noticed that I really love is how clean it is everywhere, no litter and there are always plants, flowers, and things to look at even when driving down the majority of the motorways. I experienced the Florida Mall (haul coming soon), the drugstores (more hauling), Daytona Beach, the Disney parks as well as the Universal parks. I spent money I'd been saving for weeks and basically had a great time.
My favourite meal was at an Italian that we visited twice called 'Carrabbas' pictured above where I delved into the Grilled Tuskan Skewers and Garlic Mashed Potato (which, if anyone was wondering was barely tasting of garlic, so I really enjoyed it). I also love the Rasperry Soda you can get in a lot of restaurants.
Another highlight was the day at Magic Kingdom where we stopped on Main Street in the evening to enjoy the night parade and fireworks - prior to which they projected clips of new and old Disney movies onto Cinderella's Castle. Something definitely worth taking time to watch if you are at the park.
I also enjoyed going round the World Showcase at the Epcot park which gives you a small insight to cultures of many different countries. My personal favourite is always the Japan area where me and my sister got these adorable Sanrio characters (I do love a bit of Hello Kitty now and then).
So, I've tanned, I've shopped, I've ridden the rides, and now the only thing left to do is beat the jet lag (tips would be helpful)...
