Au Revoir Turkey | Turkey Day 14





LAST DAY BLUES. We've spent the day packing, relaxing in the bedroom and having a long wait for the coach to pick us up at 9 in the evening. It's so sad how quickly it has gone but at the same time it feels like I've lived here all my life. I'd like to thank Jess and her family for inviting me with them and taking care of me - even if I did get attacked by 50 mosquitos on a daily basis. 

We checked out of our rooms at 11 o'clock, played some pool and took advantage of the free drinks. I'm 100% going to miss the view from our balcony (first photo) as it isn't every day you get to admire the mountains. I also forgot to mention that we won the Movie quiz the previous night - WOOOOO! What a way to end the holiday...

Hopefully you enjoyed my holiday daily blogs and if you did don't forget to comment below. Have a wonderful day.

Where is your favourite place to go on holiday?

Lots of Love


Come Sail With Me | Turkey Day 13











Nothing could beat a day sailing upon the crystal turkish sea, bathing on the boat's balcony, enjoying a bubblegum twister and jumping into the water bays for a good cooling down. I was in a very happy place this day - I loved jumping into the sea from the boat as I've always wanted to! The sea was so so salty so it tasted awful but it was all worth it to complete one of the many things on my wishlist.

Today's boat trip involved visiting 5 different coves, including Tarzan Bay, Samanlik Bay and Aquarium Bay, to stop off at and chill in the sea's waves for an hour or so. It was mesmerizing looking down into the water and being able to see so far beneath you. The turquoise blue of the water was so aesthetically pleasing to look at and to capture photos of.

Unfortunately, I woke up with an eye infection this day so was very cautious to jump in but I'm so glad I did it otherwise I would have totally regretted it. Also, I got the chance to snorkel because the boat offered the equipment to do so; I'd never snorkelled before so it took me a while to get the hang of it. The experience was fabulous - it was incredible being able to look so clearly under the sea (Little Mermaid reference - eek) and snoop at the little fishes lives. Here's to another wonderful turkish adventure today - cheers!

Sorry if you're fed up of my constant Turkey posts, I can assure you I will be back with some more beauty in a few days - BE PATIENT!

Until tomorrow...





Pedicures in Hisaronu | Turkey Day 12












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...

Dinner View, Orange Lips and Night Time Antics |Turkey Day 10










Ever since I've arrived at the Green Forest Hotel, I have not once been disappointed with the food. There is variation at dinner daily and foods from all different cultures so there is something for everyone which is lovely. I was a huge fan of their chicken kebab sticks, their beef and also their grilled chicken (not photographed). How could you not enjoy dinner anyway when you're admiring this beautiful view out of the window?!

Tonight, I decided to whip out my black skort and pair it with a hot red crop top; to further add to the outfit I borrowed Jess' qwerky kimono, which I must say I'm very jealous of! Oh, and what other lipstick could compliment an outfit better than good ol' Mac's Lady Danger! 

After a wonderful night of playing pool, listening to the music and watching the entertainment it was time for bed. All these days of relaxing and doing nothing exhaust me...don't ask me how. Craving oreos has become my thing out here in Turkey so I ended the evening with a nice cuppa and some oreos.

Until tomorrow...

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...

The Most Amazing Day Of My Life | Turkey Day 9













I'm overly excited to write about the many extraordinary encounters of my 9th day in Fethiye, Turkey. Not only would I consider the entire day the best of the holiday, I would hand-on-heart say it was the best day of my life. Throughout the day, I met new people (including a couple of Turkish families), saw the most wonderful views, participated in numerous challenges and travelled from sight to sight in an authentic black jeep.

On our tightly-packed agenda, the first stop was to meet the other jeeps for the safari and load water guns at a petrol station. This was rather surreal as both kids and adults were throwing buckets of ice cold water over each other and shooting from vehicle to vehicle down the motorway?! Like most, I've never experienced being caught in a water fight whilst driving down a busy motorway jam-packed with four families in a single jeep. INSANE!

When travelling to the first sight, we witnessed Tlos which was an ancient building that dates back 2,000 years ago. The ruins were still beautiful despite the leftovers being dilapidated, as it sat in the middle of a large mountain. We arrived at a minute place with a cave to be given a itinerary of what our day behold; we hired some gross shoes that felt horrendous on the feet but were waterproof for our later rainforest antics and filled up the buckets of water for more fighting fun.

The trout farm was our next stop. A little cafe embedded in a minature forest that was surrounded by streams with cute fish in. There were lovely seating areas for us to chill out for half and hour before moving to a different venue for our lunch. I chose chicken for lunch and was extremely impressed (considering the cost for the day was £10 including food). We all ate on top of a cliff that overlooked Fethiye and the view was incredible. 

After lunch, it was time for one of my favourite parts of the day - walking in the rainforest, wading through the water until reaching the waterfall at the end. With 40 degree plus weather, I had no choice but to stand under the water and let is plummet, quite viciously might I say, onto my skin. The water was ice cold, the feeling was refreshing but completely breathtaking - I literally couldn't breath (but in a good way??). 

Later on our journey, we got given the oppurtunity to stroll along the second largest gorge in Europe. Unfortunately, due to utter exhaustion from our rainforest quest, we decided to pass and chill with a few drinks by the river. Relaxing by water is so serene and calming! Time flew by very fast and it was time for the most exhilarating 10 minutes of my life - WATER RAFTING. Being thrown into a river on a ring with a oar in hand, we all set off individually along the icy river. Admiring the mountains was my intention as I floated, at first, slowly down the heavy currented water. However, my admiration was broken as I hit a very shallow part of land in the middle of the water and probably ended up with a bruise the size of my head on my butt! It was soooooo painful but it was soon over as we swiftly picked up the pace and travelled down the rest of the river.

Finally, our day had come to an end and what better way to celebrate that than a good old mud bath?! I'd been wanting to have one for so long and it was super fun. Myself, Jess and her mum covered the entirety of our bodies (including our hair) in the thick, gloopy mud that laid at our feet. The photos taken were so funny and I cannot wait to share them with you - I look like Shrek :). We soon washed off the mud and my face began to tighten and felt softer than usual so I'm hoping it done part of its job. If not, it was still a good laugh nonetheless. 

Sorry for a babbly post but I needed to document the amazing events of my jam-packed, fun-filled day. The memories created on day 9 are some that will remain with me for a lifetime and I cannot wait to share them with the world, it is hard to put into words the time I had today. Thank you for reading and comment below if you've ever been to turkey. Did you go on any excursions? Have you had a mud bath before?

Until tomorrow...
