RIU Palace Mexico....






 
RIU Palace Mexico was an amazing place to stay. There was so much to do, beautiful scenery, endless cocktails (always good) and lovely weather of course. I thought it was pretty great.

Theres a bunch of activities you can try out on the beach, I did attempt kayaking (I was not a natural) and we did end up venturing far out then it took forever to try and find where we actually started from, very nearly crashing into a few people in the process. sorry.

I also took my Instax Mini along, which I suggest getting a case for as mine got pretty scratched and I had to keep it wrapped up in a t shirt..So I didn't end up taking it out as much as I would have liked. but I did manage to take some photos with it, and the settings on the top come in pretty handy to use with different lighting. Im glad I had it with me anyway.

Adventures in Mexico...


I escaped to Mexico, It truly is an amazing place...some of the mini adventures I had where just incredible and I thought I would share them with you.

I did spend quite a lot of time just relaxing with my kindle and a strawberry margarita on the beach for the first few days...but it's hard not to want to go and explore theres just so much to see...yes, that involves visiting a tequila museum.. I can honestly say Ive never drank so much tequila before.

swimming with dolphins, was amazing. I did get bullied into doing the 'foot push' thing...you know where you get pushed along ...with your feet... (that really didn't need explaining, did it? ha.)  I felt like king Triton from the little mermaid.  

Chichen Itza has got to be the most magical place ever, everything about it is... just magic. Im so happy I finally got to go and explore it all for myself.
It was a 3 hour drive and the AC on the coach managed to die...we did get to switch coaches after an hour of being...on fire. (the only way to describe the level of heat) but it was worth it. 

Visiting the Cenote, I've never seen anything like it, such a beautiful place. Its crazy how its just there down in a cave...I was told swimming in there made you look 10 years younger, but I still haven't transformed back into my teenage years so someones being telling lies. worth a try though, right? Ah well.

Glitter in their eyes...





jumper house of holland - ASOS.
Jeans - Tophop
Sandals - BANK
Nail varnish (toes) - maybelline colour show (black & street artist topcoat.)

I'm slowly becoming obsessed with anything reflective..(Maybe i'm half magpie?)  and I've been trying so hard to stay away from the Asos sale.. its a dangerous place..but once again my curiosity got the better of me and I immediately fell in love with this jumper (i blame the gems on the sleeves...so shiny.)
 I also found these holographic sandals from Bank, which I plan to take on my holidays tomorrow...I do blame www.llymlrs.com for me wanting these so badly, as I first spotted them on her holiday outfits video and they just looked so cute.
I also decided to get my nails involved in the shiny obsession with some glitter, I've never had acrylics or shellac done before I just normally paint them myself but they alway chip so I wanted something that would last me a while longer...I love them. ahh.
Oh and thats my super cuddly cat..Smudge... what a cutie.
