A Week in...Wales

Hey guys!

As I have said before, I just recently spent a week in Wales with an organisation called YoungLife International. At this camp, we stayed in tents, and did activities such as canoeing, airsoft and raft building. All of my friends went and we had such a great time! This was actually at the end of July and I've had this blog post done for ages and I completely forgot to post it!!!!!

Here are some photos that will help me describe the week!

As soon as we arrived, we were thrown right into a games afternoon! We wore baby nappies and wore glasses with talc in our hair!

We played airsoft one afternoon!

My hoodie: Hollister

My sweats: Jack Wills

Getting my game on!

The best airsoft team ever!

This was the "Blob" which was on the lake that we went to every day! It was a 30 second walk from our tents and was so pretty! One person climbs to the far side of the blob and someone who was heavier jumped off the tower onto the blob and the person at the end of the blob flew into the air and landed in the water!

Rodeo dancing! Spot me with my arm in the air haha!

Water sports day!

This was such a great week of summer because we got up to so so much and were always doing somethin exciting! The highlight of my week was when we were told at midnight that we had to be up at 7am for canoeing BEFORE breakfast...and it was only our tent!! We all freaked out and were screaming about getting up so early then we realised how ridiculous we were being so we eventually agreed to going and it was such a beautiful morning!

I hope you enjoyed all these photos!

Much love,

Post-Exercise

Hello my lovelies!

If you have read some of my tags that I have done and answered questions in, then you will know that I am heavily involved in sport, which means I have to spend a lot of my summer going out for runs and keeping fit and healthy!

Therefore..I decided to write a very short post on what I do before and after I exercise.

Before exercising, I always make sure to wash my face and tie my hair up really tightly. I make a good playlist on my phone and put my earphones in, choose a comfy running outfit to wear and then I go for a run. Today I went for a very relaxing 2.5 mile run just to get me back into the way of fitness as I had taken a bit of a break from it to recover.

After I come back from my run, I make sure to drink A LOT of water! I would run myself a very big, warm and relaxing bath, making sure to bring a bottle of water with my to remain hydrated.

The products that I used in my bath today were my current face washes (Simple Moisturising Facial Wash and Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub), my new Greek Olive Oil Soap and a Tresemme Deep Smoothing Hair Masque which I actually used after my bath along with my Face Food Orange and Vitamin C face mask. I obviously also used shampoo and conditioner but these will be revealed in a separate post!

After I got out of my bath and was doing my face mask, I moisturised my whole body with the Dove Moisturisor.

I then proceeded to relax in my room, listened to music and began to blog!

I hope you enjoyed this post, love you guys!xo
