So it's Summer and time to get into the holiday spirit - AT LAST!!
We here in London aren't blessed with fab beaches (Boo!), so it's time to up sticks and make way on our jollys...with that in mind, I thought I'd put together a list of my Holiday Essentials. :-)
1. Ray bans 2.Top Shop
First thing's first, I am a self-confessed Sunnies ADDICT!!
I have a ridiculous collection of all styles, colours and am not fussy as to whether they're branded or not, just whether they look great on!
Remember to protect yourself!
For Protection, as has to be Asda's own - yes, you heard that right - not only does it protect, it also helps by giving anti-wrinkle & brown spot protection (never to early or late to start!)- all for a paltry £3.50 a tube - BONUS! :-)
I found out about CarrotSun via a random google search a few years back and have to say it's a very well kept secret and I'm surprised it's not more commonly known to people?!
The stuff is amazing, not only does it give me a "Sun-kissed Goddess" look (what one colleague said on my previous return to work), it also makes the tan last...for
MONTHS.
MONTHS.
It is the only product I have known to still keep a tan on me up to 5 months later and that's through-out Winter too!
And to keep that tan going my top tip would be to moisturise afterwards EVERYDAY.
This will help to both maintain a great tan along with soft and supple skin, my personal choice is from the 7 Day Intensive range from Garnier in Mango, smells great, good for sensitive skin (which all skins are!) & lasts through-out the day.
When it comes to getting bit by the dreaded mozzies, my best bet has always been Citronella- cost around £1 and can be found in any pharmacy, is 100% natural oil and keeps them away!
I put some on of an evening especailly aorund my ankles, bbehind the knees, inner elbows and a slight race everywhere.
I also leave the bottle open in the room I'm staying in, as even if they are in there, they are not tempted to come near the area and bite!!

My next choice might sound bizarre to some but would have to be a great toothpaste as glowing skin looks even better with a bright set of nashers- my personal choice at the moment is Oral B's 3D White LUXE in particular the Healthy Shine, as does everything it needs too!
And last on the list is something white to wear. (I'm sure I'm not the only one on this!) But whether it be a dress, top, skirt or pair of linen trousers- this shade looks fab when we're tanned and a sparkling picture of health!
What are the holiday must-have items for you guys & are you going anywhere nice this year?
Whatever you've got planned, ENJOY!! :D
