My holiday in Crete - lots of snaps!!

I'm back!! As most of you know I recently jetted off to the beautiful island of Crete for just over two weeks. I had such a great time it was so nice to relax in the sun, drinking iced coffees by the pool and eating greek food all day.

The weather was amazingly hot which I wasn't expecting, there was a heat wave while I was there, the temperature was nearly 40 degrees every day. I wouldn't have coped without the lovely Cretan breeze or the gorgeous infinity pool to jump into.

I was lucky enough to stay in a beautiful boutique hotel near the small town of Elounda which has been voted the best hotel in the world over four times in a row. Lily and I had our own apartment which had views overlooking the crystal blue sea.

Our living room!

The hotel bar and restaurant which was next to the inifinity pool, which is where I spent most of my time sunbathing and drinking cocktails.

Our bedroom, the hotel even offered a pillow menu which I thought was pretty funny but came in useful was I had to ask for some goosedown pillows instead of the normal ones as they were huge!!

Lily having fun around the pool in her inny winney polka dot bikini or 'kini' as she calls it!

While we ate breakfast by the pool Lily decided to do some sunbathing while waiting for her pancakes and icecream (yes icecream, the only thing she wanted to eat, well it is her holiday!!)

Most days we chilled by the pool in the morning when it was hottest then in the afternoon we would go sightseeing. This is the deserted island we took a boat ride to see, it was so strange to walk through the houses and shops that haven't been inhabited for over 30 years, like a ghost town.

Lily and I at the aquarium, she loved looking at the sharks and she even found Nemo!!

At the beginning of the holiday I promised Lily she could have this Hello Kitty watch if she was good, she kept to her promise and was so excited when I surprised her with it. Now I can ask her to tell me the time which according to her is always 'half o'clock'.

Relaxing in the pool.

Before I went away I tried to find myself some nice bikinis but every shop I went to didn't have any, so strange because August is still the summer and people still go on holiday. The only one I found which I absolutely love was from Primark and cost £3, what a bargain. So simple and I love the retro top shape.

Here are my brothers on the front of the speedboat we rented for the day to go exploring, if you click to enlarge you'll see Arthur pulling a silly face, so attractive.

Sorry about the picture heavy post, I took hundreds of photos while I was away and it was hard to choose. I'm glad to be back, I really missed the beauty community it was so strange to bwithout blogger, twitter and YT for that long.

Lots of makeup related posts to come this week and the competition winners will be announced!!xx
