Summer Holiday with Your Boyfriend
December: the month of holidays, summer, cute dresses, flowers in your hair and BEACH! More specifically, CAPE TOWN!!!!! <3
I love it there. And maybe I do have a warped view of it, December is the best time of the year there and everything is great beacuase everyone is on holiday, but I think it must be amazing to live there! Its so beautiful, and the weather is perfect, the beach is on your door step and life just seems such much happier there!!
This year (hopefully!!) my bf is joinng me on my lil CT adventure. And even though its still 3 months away Im already thinking about what I should take and what I still need to buy. So I thought Id share some tips Ive thought of so far:
1. If this is your first time away with your boyfriend as it is for me, take nice things girls!!! You may be at the beach but it doesnt mean you cant look good going to the beach.
2. Have more than 2 cossies. Different styles, different colours. Just to spice things up a bit!!
3. Take sunscreen. if your boyfriend is as burn-prone as mine, youll need lots of this incase he forgets. Itll make the holiday so much more enjoyable then if he gets sun stroke. If you wear make up to the beach, wear it lightly as it will melt off. Put sun cream on before you put on your make up before you leave home.
4. Have a plan of things you want to do on the holiday, esp things that r walking distance so u dont have to depend on your family or on a car to get places- that way you can get a good tan, walk hand in hand and feel great! CT has great things to do and to go to like, putt putt, coffee shops and ice cream stalls, mazes, the beach, swimming pools, flea markets etc. Also make sure you dont do the same thing every day, for example because my bf gets burnt so easily, the beach isnt his favourite, so going everyday for 5 hours will just make him grumpy and thatll make me grumpy!!
5. Depending on what you plan to do at night, have something really nice that you can slip into if you guys suddenly decide to hit a 'to see and be seen' kind of place!
6. Dresses are the best for the beach. They really pretty esp when they have lots of different colours but also so easy to wear. When you go to the beach you dont have to worry about your sandy feet making your shorts/ pants sandy (I really really dont like sand!) either.
7. Always carry a bag with some essential touch up make up things, like blusher, lip gloss, eye shadow and eye liner are my favourite things! Especially if you plan to go for some drinks after the beach.
8. Have with you some spritzing conditioner that will moisturize your hair and give it a lil bit of a wave when you come out from the water. It will also make sure your hair stays soft! Always carry with you an alice band, hair tie and clips so that you can put it up if it gets frizzy or in the way.
9. Always have things like wet wipes, that way you can give yourself a lil bit of a wash when you go to the bathroom after a long hot day in the sun. You will sweat but with wipes you can just wipe it away. Deodrant always a good idea!
10. BE NATURAL!!! Now i should learn to take some of my own advice, but Im slowly starting to realise that they DO like you natural... so yes put on some make up, dress nicely but when you at the beach all your boyfriend wants is to have some fun, not to have you running off to the bathroom every 2 minutes to fit your hair and make up!
