The Summer Tag

Who doesn't love a tag? Exactly :) With the sun shining like it has been the last week or so, what better time for this summer tag... Let's crack on!

Favourite thing about summer?
Visiting the seaside and having a paddle :) I also love being able to dry clothes on the washing line when it's warm! #ThinkImGettingOld

Favourite music for summer?
The latest chooons are always good but I do love a bit of reggae type music when the sun is out too.

Do you have any plans this summer?
We're going to host a family BBQ for the first time this year as we now have a nice size garden and I'm sure we'll go to the beach a few times but our main focus will be putting money aside for our holiday to Crete in September.. 10 nights in a boutique hotel, owww yeeeaahhhh :)

Your go-to nail polish for summer?
I tend to wear pink on my nails a lot more in the summer.. and glittery colours.. Nothing dark.

Favourite make up look for summer?
If it's really really hot, I won't wear any at all. If it's not going to drip off my face I'll wear minimal.. Foundation, mascara and lipstick. I'm far from being one of these girls that couldn't leave the house without make up on.. I mean I do prefer myself and feel more confident when I've got make up on but it's not the end of the world, there are a lot more important things to worry about and half the time I just cannot be arsed.

Favourite summer scent?
"Pacha - Psicodelic" It's the one smell I've stuck to through the last 5 summers, I got it when Aaron and I went to Ibiza and you can only get it abroad so whenever I know someone going, I get them to get it for me as I larrrrve it. It's a very sweet cherry scent.. I hate cherries so you'd think I'd automatically hate it but I couldn't! :)

Favourite thing to wear on your feet?
Got to be flip flips! I'm always wandering round the house/garden barefoot so a comfy pair of flip flips is perfect for me.

Hair up or down for summer?
Up! Anyone that has long and very, very thick hair will know what I'm on about when I say that having your hair down is like wearing a scarf in the summer!! Sweaty neck, eurgh! No ta! I'd much prefer to have my hair in a pony tail with my side fringe bits down at the front :)

Do you tan or burn?
Burn :( I put factor 50 on the other day at my mums (was my nieces! I'd usually wear factor 30 though) and I STILL had sunburn! What the actual?! Even when I put sun stuff on and don't burn, I don't really get any colour still.. I don't really mind I just wish I didn't burn so easily!!

Favourite summer drink?
Apple and blackcurrant squash.. I drink so much of it when it's warm, sugar free of course :) Or Monster Zero - its syn free ;)

Favourite thing to eat when it's hot?
Olives! I love me some olives. I've really been enjoying salads in this hot weather since starting Slimming World too.. Can't be doing with any gravy dinners in this heat that's for sure.


Have you done a summer tag? Let me know! xxx
1.  What's your favourite thing about Summer?

It has to be the weather! Waking up and knowing it's going to be a warm day without a cloud in the sky! The sun shining is an instant happiness boost for me.



2.  Do you have a favourite Summer drink?

If it's a warm summers day and I'm in about out of the garden - reading and sunbathing generally, I like to make up a batch of Lipton Lemon Ice Tea in a big jug with ice and keep it in the fridge. If you are lucky and have a world food aisle in your local Tesco you should definitely try it! I also love making a fruit smoothie in the morning for breakfast and sitting in the garden to drink it.



3.  Is there a location you like to go to each Summer?
I love going to the beach in summer for a picnic/BBQ though it's always way more crowded than I imagine. But Barbecues in my garden is the thing I love the most! 

 
4.  Favourite makeup look for Summer?
I don't really change my makeup too much with each season. But for warm days I like to do a simple winged eye and a bold lip or stain depending on how warm it is. I discovered for hot days a good lip stain is my best friend for looking still made up even after my eyes have gone a little smudged. 




5.  Dresses or skirts?

Pretty summer dresses all the way! I love skirts with black tights in winter but as soon as summer comes along I love wearing comfortable above the knee dresses (mainly from Primark as they always have so many lovely ones).

6.  Sandals or ballet pumps?
Since discovering Melissa ballet pumps (which literally are indestructible and waterproof!) I wear them all year round - I have 6+ pairs now. So I continue to wear them come summer but I do love sandals especially with dresses and on holiday they are a must. 




7.  Do you prefer to wear your hair up or down for Summer?
Most days I'm lazy and stick my hair up in a high messy bun but if I take the time to straighten my hair or curl it with my Babyliss Conical Wand I do prefer how it looks. 




8.  Deep smokey eyes or bold lips?

I always find a bold lip much easier even if it takes some maintenance during the day. I also feel like I don't wear bold lipsticks enough any other part of the year so I love delving into my lipstick drawer and deciding what I'm going to use. I love both Kiko and Clarins for super pigmented but hydrating lipsticks!



9.  Favourite perfume for Summer?
I love, love, love wearing pretty floral and fruity perfumes in summer, even if the bees are attracted to me! My absolute favourite for the past two years has been Vera Wang Princess - such a creamy floral vanilla scent that is perfectly summery. 




10.  Last but not least, favourite music for Summer?

Ohh, this is a tough one as I don't really think my music tastes change throughout the year. If I'm in a super happy mood, which is generally when it's a sunny day and I'm getting ready, I listen to a 90's playlist on Spotify - Savage Garden, Green Day, Alanis Morissette etc! But it's generally what's in the charts... do the charts even exist these days? Currently loving Happy by Pharrell, All of Me by John Legend and anything by Bastille.
