Where on earth have I been?!

I have been away from my blog for way too long but I do have my reasons! Not only have I been working full time, I have also been on two A M A Z I N G holidays. Firstly, I went to see my Dad, Stepmum Charlie and little sister Freya :) My dad has lived out in Oman for the past 2 and a half years so every summer me and my brothers make the trip out there for 2 weeks, and this year my lovely boyfriend Liam came with me... here's a small snippet of that holiday...

It was so nice to see my little sister as I don't get to see her that often, she changes so much every time I see her! It was a lovely relaxing 2 weeks in the scorching sun - even if it was ramadan and we couldn't eat or drink in public during daylight...

10 days after I got home from Oman, I went on a second holiday this time with my Mum, stepdad Jeremy and again my brothers. We flew out to Vancouver in Canada and then drove down to Seattle where Jeremy's uncle lives. We stayed there a few days before going off on a roadtrip down to Oregon and around Washington state - we did some white water rafting and it was terrifying but also totally amazing! We then went back up to Seattle for a day before flying down to Las Vegas for a few days. Vegas is an amazing city and I will definitely be heading back there when I'm over 21!! We then spent another week in and around Seattle before heading back to Vancouver for 3 days via a ferry through some beautiful islands. I got back yesterday and so far the 8 hour time difference isn't giving me too much jetlag but it's early days! Here's a few photos from my second holiday...

This has been a fairly heavy picture heavy post so sorry about that but I hope you enjoy looking through my holiday snaps! Obviously as I was in America a fair amount of shopping happened and I will be posting an America Beauty Favourites post in the near future as I have far too much stuff to do a haul so I will pick my favourites to share with you and I will post a few fashion picks too :)

Thank you very much for reading and staying with me on my blog whilst I was away, I'll be back to posting a few times a week now! Hope you've all had a fantastic summer, has anyone been anywhere interesting?

love

Emily
