FRANCE 2013

Carrying on from the last post I thought I'd do one about my week away in France, even though it was nearly a month ago (oops..). We stayed in a little village in the most beautiful house I've ever seen, with a huge garden big enough for all our activities. I've never made a makeshift badminton/volleyball court before, but I think we did quite well for what we had to work with. The best thing about the house was the upstairs living room for all the kids (kids being everyone under 40).

We quickly transformed it into boys and girls areas; the boys having one settee to play playstation and the girls taking up every bit of available space with nail polishes and transfer tattoos. It was honestly like one giant sleepover.

Okay, so as a beauty blogger this probably isn't what you were expecting. There's no amazing designs that you couldn't do at home and there's no seriously expensive nail polish. And yes, the photos are terrible. But we all had so much fun, or maybe that stemmed from the fumes.. there were a lot of us. It was so nice to go out all day and do/see interesting things with the adults, but it was even more fun to come home, have dinner and then run upstairs and pamper ourselves. Credit goes to Rachel for doing everyones nails so beautifully and with such ease. And of course, we can't forget Joy who next to Rachel was the only one brave enough to test the 3D manicure on her. Added bonus being that I got to try out nail polishes that I've never heard of as well as ones that I've been wanting for a while. 

One last note for everyone who thinks we're crazy, especially after seeing the puppy tattoo.. We all had an amazing time, and it was really nice doing things I never thought I'd do again. It was the perfect holiday, fun and care free.
