The season of summer is upon us (although it doesn’t feel like it in England right now)...
Booking a week away is one of the best things in life for me. A chance to escape everyday life, the crazy life of commuting and working long hours. I begin thinking about basking in the sunshine, drinking mojitos and lounging in a bikini all day, and to be perfectly honest there isn’t anything better.
Before I go away, I try to drink juices each day to ensure that I my body is cleansed and ready for the all you can eat buffet (and the several litres of spirits).
I then begin to pack the essentials. I feel as though I have got packing absolutely spot on. I take less bikinis now than ever before, because the reality is, you rinse them and leave them to dry on the balcony. I also only take 2 pairs of heels for the evenings. Trust me, I used to pack one pair to go with each outfit, which is completely unnecessary (23kg only goes so far!).
The most vital item to take, is cheap £1 flip flops from Primark. I know this seems simple, but it took me several holidays to realise these are a lifesaver! When you are walking around the pool, who knew the floor could be so hot?! I often ruined my best sandals, but now, I’ve learned from my mistakes...
Finally, for any one who burns their face, invest in a hat. I bought one last year for the first time, and my delicate parts were definitely grateful.

Brunch in the capital
Most people who visit London with friends or family make time for a ‘quick spot of brunch’. I personally love a good brunch. I’m not a morning person at all, so the thought of eating food first thing in the morning really doesn’t appeal to me. However, pancakes with champagne at 11am, and I’m there!
Whether you prefer a classy affair or a bottomless brunch, London is perfect for getting that food fix, while getting slightly merry...
My favourite ever brunch spot is the Ivy Tower Bridge. Where else can you sit and sip on champagne, while looking at one of London’s most beautiful sights?
