Pedicures in Hisaronu | Turkey Day 12

Pedicures in Hisaronu | Turkey Day 12

Comment   

Another day relaxing by the pool went by and again we were welcomed by two lovely towel swans back to our room. It completely fascinates me how they decorate our bed so lovely; the flowers are my favourite. Also, the maid came into our room to say 'hello' and gifted us with two cute roses - how sweet!

Attire of the evening was more casual tonight as I knew we were going to take a trip to town to have a girly pedicure night. My outfit involved a white off the shoulder crop with my denim dungarees (big mistake when the salon had no air con :'(!) Jess kindly let me borrow her black triangle necklace and I applied some of my Maybelline Colour Drama Lip Crayon in BERRY MUCH to match; I battled for perfect thick&dramatic winged liner too and that went semi-okay.

Hisaronu is our local town, closest to our hotel; luckily it is only a 5 minute walk away so that was advantageous, especially for the evening (everything seems so much better at night?!) Jess, her mum and myself had a pedicure at one of the salons in the town. Our feet were in need of some TLC due to walking around a lot and having to wear gross, tight shoes on Day 9. After some filing, cutting, washing and scrubbing we each chose a colour and had our toenails painted. I went for a pastel blue, Jess went for sparkles (as always) and her mum went for a deep maroon. 

I hope you are all having a fantastic summer <3

Until tomorrow...

A Spontaneous Day Trip To Fethiye Town | Turkey Day 11

A Spontaneous Day Trip To Fethiye Town | Turkey Day 11

It was midday and Jess' parents thought - "hey, why don't we take a look at Fethiye town today?" So that is where we spent the rest of the day and evening. 

After hopping on a random bus in the middle of the road, we soon arrived in the beautiful town of Fethiye. Humidity was an understatement, the heat was intense and walking was a huge struggle - I thought I was close to dying! The only was to try and cool down was to find a shop to get a little air conditioning in our lives - the temperature was over 40 degrees celcius so hopefully you can empathize. 

Strolling through all the little allyways and eyeing up every cute trinket shop was a fabulous start to the day. I love how artsy the Turkish are, their carpet designs really fascinated me as well as all of the pots and designs they create. In the first photo above, you can see that one of the shop allys had a canopy made of multi-coloured umbrellas. This was beyond incredible and I noticed that this was quite a common creation in Turkey, who'd have known? To be honest, it is quite ironic really because who needs an umbrella in the blazing 45 degree heat?!

Gazing as the gorgeous views of the harbour got to our stomachs - we found a restaurant called Limon to have our dinner; I then became easily pleased when I was given a purple Coca Cola can complete with a co-ordinated straw - how fancy!! My meal was absolutely devine - I ordered a chicken pizza topped with tomatos, pepper and a spice. YUUUUUM!

The evening crept up on us very quickly and we head back towards the shops; the scenes were even more picturesque at night time so I snapped a few shots - the glowing lanterns being a highlight. I ended up purchasing a few new makeup items, one being the Comfort Zone palette by Wet N Wild! I've been wanting that baby for ages now.. I also picked up a few gifts for those at home and a deep red ruby ring. The last photo taken was when we departed the lovely town of Fethiye and returned back to the hotel - I was again easily pleased at how my outfit complimented the flowers..I need to get a life (Y)!

Until tomorrow...

Visiting the town this night was the highlight of my day; it was very refreshing to leave the hotel after spending the first few days in our resort. In a way, I would say that the experience was very overwhelming - the streets were packed with hundreds of people, multiple pubs/restaurants around every corner, loud music overlapping each other from the different night clubs and vibrant colours lighting the warm summer night.

Inhaling the towns active atmosphere, Jess, her parents and I sat down at a bar to take everything in; Jess and I opted for a cosmopolitan which was absolutely delicious. We explored the town by strolling down the lighted streets and having a good ol' laugh at some of the shop names (eg. British Hairways).

On returning to our room earlier on in the day, me and Jess were surprised to see two cute little swans sculpted by our freshly cleaned towels. The cleaners are so lovely and decorated our bed with flowers as well! Hospitality and service has been phenomenal ever since we arrived at the hotel.

My outfit of the evening was a nude, tight-fitted skirt, a plain black cami top with a kimono. I felt a dark lip colour would work really well to create a sultry look, paired with a light smokey eye. Also, I'm loving what the water is doing to my hair here - every time I leave the water, the sun dries my hair in seconds leaving soft loose curls.  

Until tomorrow...
