Fun in France and my lame excuse

Hello guys I'm back!

My holiday to France was a blast and I'll speak more about that in a bit. I returned from France a week ago and just haven't got round to blogging, sorry!

I never captured many pictures from France as the whole week was water sports but I'll share with you the photos I did take of me and friends and the views.

It was a great holiday and my favourite activity was defiantly banana boating. We had great laughs every day and would love to do it all over again, but next time cover myself in mosquitoes spray as I got bit lodes!

Me, my Mum and Dad then went to Sheffield this past week for a few days and it was lovely just to spend time with Mum and Dad. The rest of the week I have been hanging out with friends and chilling.

My week ahead consist of collecting my GCSE exam results (which I am terrified for,) so fingers crossed for that! I also start my just next Monday so that will be a new adventure that I am excited for. I just need to get my English and Maths grade so I don't have to do them again at college but I am feeling confident I have done well.

I feel like I should and shouldn't say sorry for not blogging as I know I might have one or two people who read my blogs every day but at the end of the day I do this for my own enjoying and I don't want to get to the place where I feel like I have to write a new blog every day so yea, sorry and not sorry. I hope this makes sense.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer holidays as much as I am!!

Going on holiday

Hello everyone.
My past few days have been chilled. Chilling with family and friends. Had a bbq, been into town and PACKING!
I am going down to France tomorrow (Thursday 30th) for 9 days as a school trip which will be full of water sports and fun! It isn't a academic holiday which is the best bit! I will be getting up to sailing, catamarans, snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing and so much more!
I will be so busy morning, afternoon and evening I won't have time to blog, and I doubt I will even get wifi.
I am planning on doing a holiday blog when I return to talk about my holiday and show you all my pictures.
I hope you all have a fab week whatever your plans may be, and if your in England, I hope the weather is kind to you!

My favourites

I have always wanted to do this blog, so here it is. I will be chatting about all the different things that I like and would recommend, enjoy!

My first favourite is beauty related and it is the real technique's make-up brushes. I really enjoy applying my make-up and I feel like using brushes makes the look a whole lot better. I have a wide range of make-up brushes but my favourite is my 'Real Techniques 100 Bold Metal Brush.'

This brush dose come with quite a hefty price tag for a make-up brush but I feel like it is well worth the money I paid and if you don't mind spending a bit more money on make-up brushes I would defiantly go for a brush out of this collection. Ps, I use this brush for foundation. 

My second favourite that I really do love and hope I always will is a shop. Not just a shop in particular but charity shops. When my Mum first wanted me to go into a charity shop I was having non of it but now I love going in and having a look round. A lot of charities shops sell a load of crap but you can pick up some great bargains. I love finding little dainty vintage pots and I have recently purchased a shirt from a charity shop for £3! Here are just a few out of my collection...

Next on my list is food. I want to recommend a few coffee shops. As you may be aware me and Elle often go out for coffee and cake and the two best places we both love is Costa and Marples. Both of these coffee shops are in Cleethorpes but I know for sure Costa is a nation wide cafe.

My favourite cake in Costa as I'm sure some of you are aware from previous blogs is the caramel shortbread slice and if you ever go into Costa I would recoment you pick one of these up!

I believe that there is only a Marples in Cleethorpes but it is your typical welcoming coffee shop with what I would call 'high standard' food. I often go for a toasted teacake and a coffee, a cake and I have even had my dinner there, home made lasagne, yum.

    

My last favourite is my phone apps. I will recoment a few apps to you that are my favourites. The first app is social media and it is Instagram. I like scrolling through Instagram to see all my friends photo and also edit and upload my own. (My name is 'sophpeggxo' if you wanted to have a look round.) The next app I use a lot is Layout which is a photo editing app. This app is linked to Instagram but I enjoy experimenting with my photos and making new photos. I have two games that I find myself playing a lot. They are Hay Day and Hill Climb and I recomend you download both. Some people may think Hay Day is more of a childs game but I love it and it's very addictive. My last favourite app of course is Blogger, and is my saviour. When ever I have a spare bit of time I will start to create a new blog or continue with an on going one. I also  enjoy the music app, capital and many more.

I hope you have enjoyed reading a few of my favourites and liked this type of blog.

Any feed back on this blog with be much appreciated, Soph:)

Coffee and cake

Evening All.

I have had a very eventful day with Elle and here is it in writing and pictures.

After my paper round, I got ready and was out the door by ten. Me and Elle had planned to go to Costa for breakfast, as we both love it! I had a toasted teacake, caramel shortbread cake and a cappuccino. I know it isn't really the typical breakfast but it was a treat and the caramel shortbread is to DIE for!!

We then headed to Town and I didn't buy anything exciting.

We then came home, chilled at Elle's for a short while then went out again (I feel like a middle aged lady, not a 16 year old kid) with our Mums for another coffee and cake (I had another caramel shortbread but it wasn't as good as Costa's) but never the less I still enjoyed it.

We came home, had tea, then washed Elle's car before driving to KFC for a burger (I only had a coke, *good girl Sophie*) and then came home.

Yes most of our day has evolved around food but you can't beat a treat once in a while, yumm!

Cleethorpes Carnival

A few days ago the Cleethorpes Carnival took place. I'll run you through my 'exciting day.'
Me and Elle was on the road early morning and headed to Town. After having an unsuccessful trip and not finding what we wanted we headed to Cleethorpes. Our first task was to find a place to park the car. The roads were being shut during the carnival and we didn't want to get stuck in the traffic after. We found a great place and it worked out a treat.
We then headed for lunch and what a better place then Marples. We both had home made Lasagne with chips. It was divine! On our way to Marples we had a selfie with a donkey, lol!

We then had a few hours to kill. We looked round shops, went for a coffee and chatted to friends. There was food stalls down the sea front and we picked are favourite (chocolate of course) and treat ourselves. I had marshmallows covered in milk chocolate and Elle had Strawberries covered in white chocolate. After that the Carnival was on it's way. With 70 floats with great dancers, singers and all sorts of acting and costumes it was a great laugh.

My favourite act!

We got home, had a quick change and was ready for a 50th party in the village pub.

SELFIEEEE 

After a bit me and Owen went back to his and watched Game Of Thrones and then went back to the party to find a lot of drunken adults.

The day was filled with fun and laughter and I had a great time with friends and family. 

My past few days

Thursday

Thursday was a day out with the lads from school. Me, Will and Will went round to Harrys and played some intense games on the wii. We then went on a bike ride to Joes house and played football before biking back. Will being the sweetheart he is gave me his bike to use as I was on Harrys bike that has six gears and I was struggling. At night me and Will went to watch Mum complete a Duathlon, she did very well!

Friday

Friday morning was chilled with Will and the only exciting thing I did Friday was go out for tea with Mum, Dad and friends. It was exciting though as I was feeling adventurous and tried Fish. I was a little disappointed as I thought it didn't taste of a lot but it was good never the less.

Saturday

Saturday was Cleethorpes carnival. I have done a separate blog for that and it will be uploaded tomorrow (20th July.)

TODAY

After two paper rounds with the help of Dad it was time to go help out at a race Mum was running. I don't have a clue where it was, all I know we was surrounded by grass. We was both marshals and made sure everyone went the right way and even took a few selfies along the way.

We all then went back to 'Race HQ' and enjoyed free food. I am now sat at home writing this blog and listening to Capital, woo.
