Bridal hair and make-up – Looking the part for your wedding.

Whether you are having an overseas wedding or getting married locally, the planning phase for your big day can be very stressful at times!

As any bride will tell you, looking beautiful is top of the agenda for your special day, this is where you can use the services of a wedding hair and make-up specialist who can take care of the planning for you, allowing for plenty of time to get you and your bridesmaids looking fabulous ready for your big day!

My wife booked up with a local company who dealt with bridal hair in bournemouth, she had an immaculate portfolio and vast experience in the hair and make-up industry, so after being recommended to her we gave her a call and she got planning straight away. The wife and the bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning and their confidence shined through.. You could see that they felt like a million dollars, it was lovely to see!

Im in dire need of a holiday, even a long weekend will do for me right now. Just a bit of sunshine somewhere, im thinking about setting off to Malaga in spain again, just a Friday to Monday quick break… Ahhh, heaven!

Bora Bora wedding abroad with stunning wedding videography

Have you ever thought of getting married abroad? I did think about it, but the amount of paperwork seemed insane! Mind you, I think I was making more of an issue out of it than necessary due to the fact i didn’t really want to get married in the first place! You get your one “get out of jail free” card to play in a relationship, and thats the proposal! Once you have used that bad boy up, you are pretty much screwed. Anyway, listen to me ranting on… Weddings abroad, i have not long been back from my friends wedding abroad, we went to bora bora. It was absolutely amazing! gorgeous scenery and such a chilling atmosphere. They had the wedding of their dreams and after being present for that, my wife now hates me for being such a cheap ass with our wedding reception. They had the whole event filmed and actually asked me to give credit to the wedding videos company who i must say, did a sterling job at capturing all the magic on their special day! They even gave me a copy, its even relaxing just watching the DVD, thats how chilling Bora Bora is. We are definitely going to book ourselves up for a holiday there soon, more to make it up to the wife for skimping out on our wedding.

What sort of Summer is this?!

It’s no wonder i’m flying off on many holidays each year, the number one reason I disappear around the globe for weeks and weeks at a time is because i’m from England. We just had about 3 days of lovely sunshine, and then its done nothing but piss down ever since! And then we have this “Drought warning” going on, well this is the wettest drought i’ve ever encountered.

I seriously hope this changes soon, or im going to book up a nice long trip to the Seychelles  or something… Anything to get out of here! All this wind and rain gets depressing, miserable faces going around the towns all moaning and saying “nice weather for ducks”.

Holiday time i think! *runs off and packs bags*

 

Sailing trips

Do you own a boat or yacht? I’m the proud owner of a sunseeker and I regularly cruise around the south coast. Boating can cost you a small fortune in all areas, buying the boat itself was very expensive and then you have to consider extra costs such as Boat Insurance amongst many other costs. Is it worth the money? Indeed it is, its worth every penny, being able to cruise the seas freely whenever you please, its wonderful! You can imagine how therapeutic it is to have free reigns in the oceans, one of the most relaxing feelings in the world is to anchor up and watch the sun go down from the luxury of your own yacht. Should you not own your own boat, you can still consider a cruise holiday or choose from many other boat charters available around the UK. If you are looking for some peace and proper relaxation, i would recommend a boat or yacht cruise.

Who has been to the Canary Islands?

I have just got back from lanzarote! If you are looking for a holiday where you can relax for a couple of weeks, its perfect! But also, if you want to party hard for a couple of weeks, again, its perfect! We stayed in Puerto del Carmen where there are streets full of clubs and bars, the night life was amazing and the locals were very welcoming, all in all its a great atmosphere every year and more and more britons seem to be making their way over there for a nice bit of sunshine for a very low price. The drinks are cheap, and so are the restaurants and hotels.

Its not all about living it up and partying the whole time, if you want to relax, there are some very quiet beaches and dining venues around the town.

If you are looking for a quick cheap break, Lanzerote is a decent choice.

Are you going on a beach holiday?

Personally, i have been on two beach holidays this year with the wife and kids, lounging about in the sun and playing ball games on the shore with the little ones. My wife was parading around on the beach, i noticed a sparkling on her chest area, i went in for a closer look and she told me it was a Vajazzle .. This was the first time i had seen one of these! she had one stuck to her chest and when night time came about, i noticed she also had one that was hidden by her bikini bottoms! Needless to say i thought they were great! Anyway, if you are going on a beach holiday and you want to stand out in the crowd, you cant miss the sparkles that a Vajazzle Kit radiates! … Sparkling lady parts, whatever next!

Holiday gifts, everyone wants one brought back, how do you choose?!

Usually we get together and brainstorm. We give gift suggestions to each other, but it never seems to quite work out. We used to just get the standard gift ideas for mothers. We would get her flowers, jewelry, a good book, or chocolate. What we didn’t realize for all of those years was that she was just being polite when she got them. We always assumed that she liked the gifts that we were getting for her, but apparently that wasn’t true. She let it slip one time that she hated chocolate, and she never seemed to read the books that we got her. Not only did this leave us feeling guilty, but it also left us with no idea of what to get her. We had tried all of the conventional ideas, and none of them had worked!

The one thing we never thought of was my mother’s elephant collection. Elephants are not among the top gift ideas for mothers, but for my mum it was the obvious solution, and seems i was off on a safari holiday, it would be an easy gig to get one of those on the cheap!  The porcelain elephants have been sitting, gathering dust for so long that we barely looked at them anymore. Nonetheless, she was still passionate about collecting them. When my father suggested that we get new ones for her, we all jumped at the chance. For the first time ever, she was truly happy with the gifts that we had acquired for her. That shut her up. Next time, we will be smart enough to ask my dad ahead of time!
