Indulge:
To allow oneself to follow one's will
Every summer I go on an annual trip back to England (where i'm originally from) and just chill out, catch up with family and of course go shopping. But this year was a little more hectic as I had to visit my university and sort out a whole load of stuff so in September i don't freak out! About 2 day's into my holiday my exam results were due, which i was very much freaking out about but as you can probably tell by my good mood....i did quite well ;) Which of course meant a celebration!

Champagne in the garden |
|
Strawberry Daiquiris at the proms |
I spent the evening at the Prom's (A classical music show.. I know so english of me) which compared to how I would have celebrated back in HK, it's a little different but it was very nice to be with all my family again! The night ended with a beautiful fireworks show which i took 10000 photos of, but this was the only one that came out nicely.

Yay! goodbye IB. |
Since I haven't really been feeling my usual happy self I decided that this summer I would treat myself to whatever I wanted because well.. what girl doesn't deserve to feel like a princess? So I became my own best friend and allowed myself to really indulge in what life had to offer.

Relaxing bubble baths to clear away the stress |
Food
One of the best ways to cheer yourself up when you're down is of course food, allowing your taste buds to have a party. And oh boy, did I throw them a rave!
[Warning: May cause extreme hunger]

Vanilla bean smoothie with fresh whipped cream |
|
Fresh seaside donuts (traditional england) |
|
Toffee profiteroles with vanilla ice-cream |
|
Milk and white chocolate cheesecake |
|
My very own dish, chicken and broccoli pasta with a mushroom and garlic source. |
|
Fairground candy shop |
Shopping
Another one of life's guilty pleasures, especially for me! Some may say I am a shopaholic, but isn't every girl deep down? I almost feel sad when I leave a shop without finding at least one thing to buy. But I decided to change my style a little bit as i usually find myself wanting quantity not quality, so I spent my hard earned cash (not really) on more designer and classier things.
|
First ever MAC lipstick, once you go MAC you never go back ;) |
|
The only thing to help me stop biting my nails is the though of wearing these beauties. |
|
Full Zara outfit that I fell in love with in the changing room |
Overall this holiday was a great get away from all of life's problems (well some of them at least) and I am now ready to enjoy my last few weeks in Hong Kong before heading off back to England to start my new life!
