 I thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of England's "heat wave" of 26 degrees Celsius, and relax at the beach. After an hour of winding country roads, we arrive in Scarborough, Yorkshire, a resort town in England. The harbour town is situated in beautiful Limestone cliffs with two seafront Bays on the Eastern UK coast, and has been a popular holiday spot since the 1600's. 

Our first stop was Scarborough Castle, built in the 1100's on a cliff between the two Bays.  The Castle ruins sprawl out down the cliffside towards the water, and provide a great view of the town and water. 

 The smell of fresh fish and chips around the town will make your mouth water. We stumbled upon "The Golden Grid" on the boardwalk, known as one of the top fish and chips restaurants in the world. After lunch we checked out the beachside fair (established in 1235 by Henry III) with fresh seafood booths, rides and of course lots of candy.

 We finally reached our destination of purpose, the beach. The fine sand and crashing waves was very tranquil, and just what we needed after the past week. 
After eating a Giant Yorkshire Pudding for dinner - literally the largest Yorkshire Pudding i'v ever seen, we couldn't miss out on playing a game of air hockey at one of the several Arcades that line the Boardwalk.  
Watching the sunset behind the rocky cliffs was the end to a rare sunny day in England.
This casual look with distressed shorts, and a tank were perfect for a relaxing summer day wandering around Scarborough.

Taormina Travel Tips

-

Taormina is definitely a highlight of my Sicily trip. My entire experience in this small Island town was serene. Beautiful weather and relaxing. The train runs along the East Coast into the quaint old station surrounded by lush trees and sea shore views. The minute I got off the train I fell in love with the charming town.  Breathtaking panoramas surround you as you drive up the mountain to the town.  Hotels are very old and full of history and elegance... and always have amazing breakfasts (which includes a lot of sweets). Most of the hotels are boutique and family run, which is great for service and a taste of local life. There are some stunning hotels to choose from, each offering a slightly different view and great beaches.  Regardless of where you stay, a room with a view is a must have while in Taormina. There is nothing like waking up to a gorgeous sea & volcano view everyday. It is worth every penny.  Taormina was founded in the 4th century BC and has become a

Let’s face it, undergarments are one of the most important parts of an outfit. Cute designs with a great fit are essential, but comfort trumps all. The new Rose + Vine collection from Ardene is cozy, cute and comfortable. I love the soft fabrics mixed in with lace designs to add a little style to your lingerie. I mixed and matched the Lace Push Up Bustier with these Softie Cheekies, perfect for casual lounging and looking fab under just about anything.  The bustier offers great support and the mesh back also works great layered under a semi-sheer knit.  Check out the R+V collection here .

SMILE BRILLIANT REVIEW

-
Image
After spending the past few years in the U.K., I have become a tea addict.  I drink approximately 2 cups of tea per day in the summer months, and 3-5 in the winter. I love all types of tea; Green, London Fog's, Latte's another other black tea based drinks that warm the soul. Over time this has stained my teeth . I have always had fairly white teeth, although, I have some staining closer to my gum line (tough to see in photos) that I wanted to get ride of. I have been on the search for an  at home whitening system to even out the colour and brighten up my smile. As have a very full schedule, I need a product that is easy to use, doesn't make my teeth sensitive and of course has quick, effective results. When Smile Brilliant reached out to me, I knew I had to try out their whitening system.  I have had my teeth professionally whitened years ago for my graduation, and I found it to work well, however, my teeth were sensitive after. The Smile Brilliant  system includes a d
