  • Oh hey little bump! We had the best time in Almuñécar last week and I definitely made the most of my mini digital detox. I’ll be 20 weeks pregnant on Wednesday which means I’ll also be officially be halfway through my pregnancy!😱 It feels like this milestone has come around so fast and the weeks are flying by. In the past few days I’ve also felt the first tiny flutters of our baby moving which is just the most surreal and reassuring feeling. This Thursday we will find also out if we’re having a boy or a girl! @scottwh9 and I are both so excited and I’m just trying to appreciate every moment of this special time. Place your bets now guys! Do you think it’s going to be a boy or a girl? Comment with one of these emojis 💗💙 P.S There’s a Weeks 14-19 pregnancy update over on the blog! Link in bio
  • Hey guys! I’m currently in Almuñécar on my official holiday of the year. So, this week is all about digitally unplugging for me. I’ve been enjoying minimal time on my phone but I’m just jumping on to let you know about my experience with @sanctuaryspa .I’ve always loved Sanctuary’s face masks and last week I started using their 1 Minute Daily Glow Face Mask (available at Boots, Superdrug and Feel Unique). You apply it to a clean face, activate it with a splash of water and leave it on for 60 seconds, before washing it off. It’s packed with kakadu plum (vitamin C) and acts as a gentle exfoliant. I loved the refreshing orangey scent, which is totally natural. Pregnancy hormones can wreak havoc on your skin but I’ve been lucky to avoid any major breakouts so far. The mask feels really gentle and I love the way it mays my skin feel. What are the skin care products you swear by? 🧖🏼‍♀️🌿 #ItsFaceTime #sanctuaryspa #ad
  • The out of office is officially on! Today I fly to Malaga for a week’s holiday with my girlfriends. We’ll be staying in a villa on the pretty coastal town of Almuñécar on the Costa Tropical. It’s my only trip this year that’s totally free from work commitments so I’m intending to totally unplug from the digital world and spend minimal time on my phone. I’ve got a feeling it could be exactly what I need right now! I’m feeling so much better now I’m #18WeeksPregnant and in the second trimester, so hoping to enjoy it to the full (minus the Sangria). It’s time to bare the bump in a bikini! Have a great weekend everyone. Over and out for now ✈️✨
  • Do travel bloggers ever really go on holiday? I define a holiday as; a chance to totally switch off and escape from all things work-related and wake up every morning with a free agenda. I’ve pretty much travelled every month for the past 3 years, but I can count on one hand how many actual holidays I’ve had in that time. This isn’t a sob story as I love my job, but as a travel blogger, having a fully fledged holiday isn’t an easy feat. We’ve programmed ourselves document and share every inch of a travel experience, and not doing can feel quite strange (and incredibly liberating!) I take one official holiday a year, which is free from collaborations and content creation commitments, and this years holiday is just around the corner! This Saturday I’m heading back to Almuñécar on the south coast of Spain with my best and oldest friends. We’re staying at my parents villa which is honestly one of my favourite places in the world. I’ll be 19 weeks pregnant and I’m currently trying on all my bikinis with the addition of my little bump! What are your thoughts on travel bloggers taking proper holidays? Can your relate or do you think I’m talking nonsense 😁😂 I’d love to know 💞
  • Happy Friday guys and gals! My Cornwall travel diary is now live on the blog and shares day-to-day diary entries. I’ve covered everywhere we visited (including St Ives and @edenprojectcornwall), where we ate and what we saw. I’m not going to claim to be an expert on Cornwall now as, let’s face it, I’ve only been once! But there are a few handy tips and foodie recommendations in there for anyone heading to Cornwall or Newquay soon (I’ve also linked to some super handy Cornwall guides by @wanderlustchloe). I genuinely fell in love with Cornwall and already can’t wait to return to see more, hopefully with @scottwh9 and our little baby in tow! 👶🏼🌊 Link in bio. Have a great weekend everyone 💞
  • Just want to say a huge thank you to the ladies at @margaret_dabbs_london in Harrogate for such a lovely experience yesterday. I called into the Harrogate foot clinic for my first ever medical pedicure (or ‘medi pedi’). The treatment was in a private room with a qualified podiatrist who assed my feet in detail before buffing, polishing and filing in ways I never even knew were possible! My ticklish feet did get in the way of me fully relaxing into it but I know it’s done my feet a whole lot of good (especially after all that dancing at Leeds Fest). The experience ended with a pedicure polish in the gorgeous salon area, overlooking Montpellier Parade. I brought home some of the Margaret Dabbs products to try too so I’ll definitely be taking more care of my feet from now on. Have you ever booked in to see a podiatrist? It’s so much more than you’re average pedi 👣💞
