A new favourite place

Hello my lovelies! I am alive don't worry, I have been doing exams and been very busy with school for the past few months! But anyway I'm back! :) 
So today's post is all about a little place in Cornwall called St Mawes. I went to St Mawes went I was about 10/11 with school for a camp and I couldn't really remember St Mawes that well. Me and my family went there for a day trip and oh my days I have fallen in love with it! So today's post is going to be all about our little day trip and I'll be sharing all of my photos from the day as it was SO beautiful! Enjoy :) 

Okay so me and my family took a ferry across to St Mawes which was so beautiful and the weather was beautiful and so sunny which made the ferry trip even better! 
St Mawes isn't that big really but it is so beautiful! There are some touristy shops and loads of restaurants and pubs and there is a FatFace so that's pretty cool! At the moment I have had an obsession with wanting to go to Greece and from going to St Mawes when the sun was shining St Mawes is my Cornwall version of Greece! It literally looked like Greece or somewhere abroad because the houses where white or they were colourful and the sea was crystal clear and all the flowers had blossomed and it just amazes me! 



We went for some lunch at a hotel called Tresanton and we had cocktails and sat outside looking at the beautiful sea! This hotel was so so beautiful and reminded me of Greece! If you live in Cornwall or come down to Cornwall on holiday you have have have to go to St Mawes and go to this hotel it's just so magical! 




So overall, I am obsessed with St Mawes everyone should just go there and you'll understand how magical it is!!! Here's some more photos from our little day trip :)

Work Experience Week.

The week of the 23rd of March-27th of March I had work experience week! I went with my mum for the week as when I'm older I want to go into photography and film. I had an amazing week with her and today's blog post is going to be about each day of that week and some of my favourite images from what I got up to!

Day 1- On the Monday, I created a mood board for the Tuesday as I was doing a spring shoot with model Crystal Lily. I made a board on Pinterest for her to be able to see what I had in mind for the shoot.

Day 2- On the Tuesday, I did my first ever shoot and I REALLY enjoyed it! I photographed Crystal in five very different outfits and I am pleased with how images turned out. Here are some of my favourite shots.
 
 

Day 3- On the Wednesday, I learnt all the tips and tricks of photoshop and how to edit my images and spent the whole day editing and listening to music.

Day 4- On the Thursday, I went to Gyllngvase Beach in Falmouth to film Crystal again and model Tommy John Stewart. The film will be up on YouTube very soon. I also photographed them both in their casual beach outfits and I also photographed Crystal in a swimsuit that was sent to her for me to photograph from Paris! Here is some of my favourite images.

 Day 5- On the last day, Friday, I edited some of the film and edited all of the images.

I really enjoyed my week of work experience working with my Mum! Thank you Mum <3 :)

Cucumber Water.

Hey everyone! I apologise for the lack of posts recently I've just finished my exams!
Today's blog post is all about cucumber water. I have been drinking cucumber water in school for the past month and I have had so many questions and people being like "ew it's so gross". So I decided to write about it today as it's super healthy and I love it. 


During the February half term I was revising for my exams and when your revising you need to stay hydrated and I realised that I don't drink enough water as I should. I saw on some social media sites that people where drinking cucumber in water. I have always loved cucumbers so I decided to try it and now I am obsessed with it. I drink it in school, at home, before bed, in the morning sigh breakfast.

So because everyone in school was like ew it's so disgusting I thought I should tell you how good it actually is for you.

Why is it good? 

1. It's good for your muscles: Cucumber contains silica which is a mineral. This mineral keeps the connective tissues in your body healthy. So when your working out its a good idea to drink cucumber. 

2. It's great for your skin: The silica and antioxidants help your skin to stay clear and supple. 
Secret tip for you guys: you can remove soaked cucumbers from cucumber water and use them to reduce acne redness. Or you can wash your face using cucumber water to help acne. 

3. It's low calories: A cucumber only has 45 calories. 

4. Makes you drink more water: It does this because water can taste boring sometimes and adding cucumber will flavour your water. 

5. Making it is easy, all you have to do is this...

Grab a cucumber and cut it up so its in circles and then divide it in to fours. 

Add your sliced cucumber to a cup, glass or bottle and put some cold water into your cup and the drink away.

52 photo week challenge- February

Hey everyone! Just want to apologise about the lack of post and upcoming posts I'm doing my exams in school now so spending my time revising. 

Anyway the second month of the year has gone all ready! What the hell? Where did it go? It's not March and it feels like we've ony just had Christmas! So here is this months photos that I have selected from each week of February. 
Week one: On the 3rd of February it actually snowed in cornwall which happens rarely. This meant that i had the day of school because I couldn't get in and I enjoyed all the snow until it melted at the end of the day. It was some of my dogs first times seeing snow and watching them tearing around our back garden made me so happy :)
Week two: At the beginning of the February half term I assisted my Mum to the Bridal House Catwalk show where my favourite models modelled the most beautiful wedding dresses and suits ever! It was such a great expirence and I got to film the show! The first photo is of the model Harriet Dawson and she is beautiful who modelled gorgeous dresses! And the second image is of myself and the lovely Tommy who wore suits from Moss Bros and rocked it! 
Week Three: After a quick week off full of revising for my exams it was so nice to see my girls Megan and Taylor again! They make everyday enjoyable for me at school. 
Week four: My last image of the month is myself with a grey wig on holding a raw egg! I know your probably thinking I'm crazy but this was all for my Mum's Easter image for her photography business. I love doing shoots with my mum yes they are wacky but they are amazing :)
