With Valentines Day just around the corner, I decided to post my favourite fragrances- girls, you can thank me later.

I'm quite simple when it comes to perfume, I get headaches if it's too strong so I usually go for floral scents, hopefully, you can find something you like from my collection.

1. Chanel Chance. RRP £49+ This is my most recent perfume and it was given to me from my boyfriend for Christmas. It has a sophisticated feel to it.. or smell I should say, it's not really like any of my others as it isn't quite floral, yet it's not strong or sweet either. I think this would suit most people and for that reason, it's top of the list.

2. Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb. RRP £50+  This is definitely a floral scent. It would be a bit stupid if it wasn't really! I know that Viktor and Rolf have since released a newer scent but I just love Flowerbomb. I feel like it's quite long lasting, light and really fresh.

3. Versace Bright Crystal. RRP £35+ I've actually run out of this but it's such a good perfume. It's really good for everyday use, and again it's another light fragrance. This comes in a few varieties but personally, I liked the light pink.  I can't quite put my finger on the scent, but if you're like me and can't really hack a strong perfume all day then this is a good one to go for.

I was going to do this before I went on holiday, but then I realised.. what if when I get there, they don't turn out to be that essential? so I waited until I got back to see what I actually really needed.

I've just spent a relaxing week in Tenerife (you'll be sick of hearing about it when you see what most of my planned posts are about.. oops) and I was glad to have brought these items along with me.

The first thing is a camera, maybe it's not that essential to some of you but I always think it's important to have something to look back on. Also, it's great to show your friends places you visited!

The second is suncream , I mean you wouldn't believe that I'm actually sunburnt since I'm still fairly pale, but it can be dangerous and extremely painful. A good suncream is a must, especially if you're in the sun all day. I took the Boots Soltan Dry Touch, it comes in different factors too to meet your needs.
The last thing that's quite important to me is a good book. I'm not really the type of person who's used to lounging holidays, I tend to prefer to explore quite a lot. So when I do have some time to chill, I enjoy it a lot more with a good book. I'll only get cranky in the sun otherwise! I took a few books away with me this time, Girl Online, We Were Liars, Severed Heads and Broken Hearts and If I Stay. I managed to read them all apart from If I stay.  Severed Heads and Broken Hearts was probably my favourite- I couldn't stop reading it!

I understand that you might not agree that these are essential items, and perhaps something else may be higher in your list but I thought I'd share with you these three things as a lot of my time on holiday was spent using them- or reading them.
