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.

I really want to try and value the good times, I guess that sounds very general. Like most of you, I love watching vlogs and youtubers and I think this is a great way to keep memories. For some time I've wanted to start up youtube, and I feel like there is no better time to start than now. So shortly I shall hopefully post vlogs of some exciting times and maybe even do some sit down videos. Let me know if you'd watch and what you would want to see! I could do tutorials, hauls, lookbooks, recipes and much more. 

These two photos are from two days recently, that I really enjoyed myself and I wish I would have vlogged so I could look back and relive them. 

I think it would be fun and a way to keep me busy and interacting with others. Plus I feel like the challenge could really push my weaknesses- from my anxious feelings of public vlogging or posting things in general (when I actually really want to do it) to gaining better editing skills and learning more about media behind the scenes. 

Little things like this can help you stay productive, interact more with people and set yourself goals to keep you task orientated. All of which are great traits to have.

I hope you've found this a form of exciting news, and if you do want to subscribe then click here to go to my Youtube channel. Also, feel free to comment any thoughts on the matter, what you would like to see and if you would watch my videos!
