13 Life Lessons from my Mother

On my 21st birthday my mother gave me a letter. To this day it is one of my most treasured possessions, one of those objects that somebody wouldn't give a second glance to, but I know that it's priceless. Because, this letter contains the best advice anybody has ever given me; 13 life lessons that have changed the way I think about everything. So, when I discovered it again in my memory box the other day I felt that it would be selfish to keep this incredible advice to myself. Everyone should be able to treasure it like I have. I hope they help you as much as they have helped me.

I Love Blue Frills

Well, it's been a bit warm hasn't it?! If you live in the UK then no doubt all you've heard for the past week is, "It's too hot!" and for someone who is always cold (I'm serious, I have a heater on 90% of the time), even I found it a bit much. 

Thorpe Park Thrills

I have always been a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Ever since riding my first ever looping rollercoaster on Brighton Pier when I was super little I have been addicted to them! I'm definitely one to try everything and anything when it comes to rides and one of my favourite places to visit in the UK for a day out has to be Thorpe Park. I've visited numerous times before, and as it's relatively close to where I live I couldn't resist heading there again for a day trip with my boyfriend.

Princess at Peggy's

So this outfit may be one of my all time favourites, not gonna lie, mainly because I feel like it's so me.  I mean, pink, princess sleeves, cupcakes and flowers? I'm pretty sure I couldn't have shot a more Jordan blog post if I tried! 

The Crab Tavern, London

I feel like lately my boyfriend and I are making a fun habit of having foodie date nights around London. As two lovers of the city, it's fantastic to visit places we've never been before. So, when we were kindly invited down to the Crab Tavern in London to try out their new menu, it was the absolute perfect opportunity for a date night!

Brighton My Day

Going back to Brighton always feels a bit like going home. I haven't lived there for over a year now, but returning last weekend definitely gave me a hard case of the feels. It also helped that we had bright, glorious British sunshine to welcome us. 

The Hidden Castle, Benidorm

Our third day in Benidorm was another adventure altogether; a mountain jeep tour taking us far from the crowded beaches, night clubs and pools to a place that I didn't even know existed. 

Water Babies, Benidorm

We awoke bright and early on our second day in Benidorm to a very exciting itinerary chock full of water based activities which only meant one thing; lots of time in the sea; something that I was really looking forward to. The waters of Benidorm were crystal clear and very inviting, especially in the 25 degree heat. 

Shipwreck Cove, Benidorm

I think the place I loved the most in Benidorm was a little secret known as Tio Ximo Cove, resting in between the cliffs of the Sierra Helada Natural Park. It was carved out like a crescent moon and scattered with huge, white stones that made it a little difficult to navigate in bare feet, but beautiful nonetheless. The waters are crystal clear and beautifully blue, like something out of a movie.
