YouTube and Blog Update

Hello! I'm back with another lifestyle type post. Just to let you know though, I do have beauty and fashion posts coming up over the next few weeks.
The meaning of this post is really just to say that Summer has begun and I'm enjoying it so far. So I've been on summer holidays for two weeks now, but I was on holiday for one, but I've spent my first week relaxing, just filming videos, editing and uploading and also filling up with YouTube and Blog ideas! Some are super exciting! And I've been preparing for my birthday which is in a couple of days.
So this is a snapshot of our video that's up tomorrow, and to show that we enjoy making videos so much.
I also wanted to mention that Me and my friends have had our YouTube channel for just over 6 months now, and it has flown by! So we would just like to take the time to say thanks to everyone who has watched and liked our videos and to everyone who has subscribed to us! I also noticed that I've had my blog for 3 and a half months, which is mad. I understand that my blog and our channel isn't famous, but for us, it's amazing that we have gotten so far in such a small space of time.
I enjoy making videos on YouTube and blogging so much and the fact that all I get is positive feedback is amazing. Please check out our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/erinelliemegan and follow my blog.
So on a blogging note, the reason why I've had a lack of posting is because as much as I'd love to say that I will post everyday.. I get bloggers block. It's more that I aim to write one post a week, but sometimes if I lack any inspiration then I won't post because you should only post something if you have something to say. Sometimes I contradict myself but I wouldn't want to write a post just so I have something to post.. I'd much rather wait until I have something interesting to say.
 Thanks a bunch for taking time to read my blog.. please let me know what you think x

A trip never to forget.. ITALY

I love a lifestyle post and so I had been waiting for last week all year and it was worth the excitement. Me and my friends went on a trip to Italy! We flew to Sorrento and spent three days there visiting places such as Pompeii, the Almafi coast, Monte Cassino and Vesuvius. Then we went up to Rome for two days visiting the Colosseum, Vatican city and a Theme Park.
If you wish to take a look at our Vlog then here is the link to part one: http://youtu.be/xMTWLtGi_CU
It was the most amazing experience of my life so far and after being home for only 24 I already miss it so much and would do anything to go back. I had such a laugh, caught more of a tan and got to know some amazing people a lot better and so I thought it would be nice to share a few of the pictures I took.
So this was Me and Megan in the middle of Pompeii.
The beautiful Amalfi coast.
Some of us had a dip in the sea.

So this is Miss Heel, Me, Megan and Hannah when we went out for a meal in Rome.
The whole group of us in Vatican City.
We even spent a day at the Rainbow Magic Land theme park.
Some of the lovely artwork in Monte Cassino

Can everyone say a huge welcome to my bestie Megan who has just became a blogger.. so if you could  all do me a massive favour by checking out her vlog at http://megandickinsonx.blogspot.co.uk/  and tell her what you think.

Summer Body Care Favourites

 This post is up earlier that usual because I'm off to Italy in a few hours! This week, I'd thought that I'd let you know some of my favourite summery/bodycare products that I have been loving and that I'll be using whilst I'm away.

The first item that I have been loving recently is the Rimmel London Glam'Eyes trio in '730 spices'. It's a trio of neutral eye-shadows that are perfect if you don't want a really bold look. I love this on summer days because it's natural, but you can still tell you're wearing eye-shadow. There's a very natural beige/pink colour, a none glittery gold shade and a light brown. They last all day and they are super pretty.
After a day in the sun, I like to put a bit of 'After Sun' on, to moisturize my body and to maintain any tan I get. For years I used the Garnier one and it's really good but it's not a spray one, it's cream which is a lot of effort. So I came across this Nivea one in Tesco and it's spray so I had to get it and it's so good! Does the job and it's super easy and quick to apply.

 This has got to be my favourite product to tell you about. The new Radox Berry Burst body wash. I got it for £1 which is a bargain anyway, but it smells absolutely amazing! It's like you've just been pelted with berries! It's nice and smooth on your skin and the fragrance is just so fruity, I just love it!
So if you haven't tried it, then please do.







When I go on holiday or just in the sun, my hair tends to go quite dry so I purchased the small Mark Hill Sunset Smoother After Sun Shampoo & Conditioner. (Only the conditioner is in the picture because I used up all the shampoo). For a first, the packaging is really bright so it stood out to me.
It soothes your hair and leaves it really hydrated although it does smell a bit strange, but it's alright because it does my hair a good job. I just think, if you're going on holiday then it's quite a good little purchase.



I always try new shampoo's because there I don't like to keep to the same routine all the time, it's nice to change. So a couple of weeks ago I picked the Herbal essences Dazzling Shine 2in1 shampoo and conditioner.
Even though it looks blue, it's yellow! Its a blue/green bottle and it's yellow inside.
My hair is a bit dry and damaged from heat and when I use this, it leaves my hair feeling really smooth and soft! It's a miracle for me, it just feels really nice to put on and my hair just feels and looks so much less damaged! I love it and would seriously recommend it.





Because I loved the 2in1 shampoo and conditioner so much, I thought I would also go and buy the Herbal Essence Dazzling Shine Conditioner. Some people might think that's a bit strange because the other one is a 2in1 but the ends of my hair are dry so I needed a good conditioner as well.
This is just as amazing as the 2in1 shampoo & conditioner except that the conditioner smells a bit different. Even though the smell isn't too appealing, my hair feels brilliant after using as it. It just feels and looks much more hydrated and healthy.

For summer McDonalds have brought back their iced smoothies. The flavours are 'strawberry and banana' or 'mango and pineapple'. Even though they don't usually appeal to me, I decided to get one. I got the strawberry and banana one and it was so nice! It's only £1.99 and it's really refreshing and cool. So if you're out in town and need something to cool to refresh you, then you should get one of these.

Work Experience & Bloglovin

So hello July! Wow this year is moving fast! This blog is just another quick update really. This past week and the next two weeks to come are going to be really busy!
I've had work experience, I'll be doing the Duke Of Edinburgh expedition, and a week today I will be off to Italy. I'll blog and upload to YouTube as much as a can, but I can't promise anything.
And to much of your delight, I will have more fashion and beauty blogs up very soon,

So this week, I had work experience. I'm still not sure what I want to do when I'm older, so I decided that I would go back to my primary school. And I have loved it! It was so nice to see all my teachers again, and teach all the children. A couple even drew me a little picture of themselves!
To get to know all the kids this week and then having to say goodbye was actually quite tough but it was so good.
If you have done work experience and had a good time or a bad experience, please let me know in the comments below.
Here is the cute picture that a gorgeous little girl called Seren drew for me!

Also, I have just linked my blog to 'Bloglovin', so it's much more simple for people to follow me. If you don't have Bloglovin, then I recommend that you get it! So here is the link you might need to copy if you haven't inserted the bookmark. http://ezzwilliams.blogspot.co.uk
I'll leave you with a picture of the sunset tonight (so pretty) and the link to our new Youtube Video.
