Exploring

One day we decided to heave ourselves off our sunbeads once the mid- day heat had died down and go for an explore around Sao Bras. Its a sleepy little town full of locals bustling around, it cut out all the touristy crap and just left a sweet rustic town with cobbled streets, tiled walls and white washed buildings. 

Clothing wise we all went for comfort with our uniforms of high waisted shorts and light tops, nothing fancy and we all ended up a bit matchy-matchy but hey great minds and all that jazz. 

Chloe is rocking some miss selfrige shorts and primark sunnies.

Im in head to toe topshop with white converse and Ray ban sunnies.

El is wearing an Urban Outfitters top and Topshop shorts.

We wandered around for a bit before heading back to the villa for a shower and a cheeky siesta. Another beautiful day, cheers portugal!

Holiday beauty essentials.

Hoola- My favourite bronzer. It's matte, it suits almost any skintone and lasts forever.

Watts up - A champagne highlighter to add a glow to the complexion

Mac studio fix powder - Evens out skintone and sets everything in place. 

Porefessional - Blurs the skin, minimises pores and helps stop my makeup from melting off.

SPF- I generally use 50 on my face but this was under 100 mil so it came with me.

Body shop coconut lip butter- Great for soothing chapped lips. 

Urban decay chill setting spray - Just fixes everything on your face, a complete hero product. 

P20 - The best goddamn suncream you will ever own.

Dream screen - Lightwieght silky SPF 45. 

Clarins exfoliator - Does what it says on the tin!

Clarins matte moisturizer and Waterproof eye makeup remover. 

Chloe fragrance. 

I really dont wear a lot of makeup on holiday as I like to let my skin breathe for a bit, but these are my 'just in case products'

Stumbling through Sao Bras

Food is a huge love of mine, especially desserts. But when we stumbled across a little resteraunt in the back streets of Sao Bras on our little explore we knew we had to return, it was a little rustic building with exposed brick work with one wall lined with wine bottles and tables dotted around. But before we get to that we clambered up on our roof terrace of the villa to enjoy the sunset before our feast!

We couldn't remain serious for long though. 

After admiring the view we started to walk down to the resteraunt stopping for a few pictures along the way. 

When we arrived we where directed to our table, a little secluded set up outside with some sofa's opposite. We took our seats and were soon presented with bread, garlic butter and some Portuguese humous. 

The girls went for starters and main, I went for main and dessert. 

To start Ellie had chicken and veg spring rolls with a garlic sweet and sour sauce, rich and tangy at the same time definatly a thumbs up. 

Chloe went for fish cakes, the verdict was a " this is soooo good " through mumbled mouthfuls. 

Wine wise, they went for white as thier main was seafood and I want for red as I plumped for the more meaty option. 

Anyway, on to the main event. 

For el, a mountain of fat shrimps with garlic dipping sauce, rice and salad. 

For me a juicy rump steak, medium rare with creamy potatoes. Sorry about the shoddy pictures the lighting was minimal and my camera kept playing up. 

C went for a seafood lasagne. 

All food was exceptional with huge portions aswell! El and chlo couldn't hack a pudding after so they went strictly liquid. 

Myself on the other hand had been eyeing up the chocolate fondant ever since I arrived, and it didnt dissapoint. 

From here we retired to the sofa's whilst E & C finished thier cocktails and I fell into a chocolate comba.

We started to make our way back to the villa admiring the rustic streets along the way. 

And from here it all just gets a little blurry... 

Ellie - Urban outfitters shorts - Topshop fedora - Topshop scalloped crop - new look sandals. 

Phoebe - Top shop shirt - Miss selfrige shorts - Primark sandals.

Chloe- Playsuit Oasis - Primark sandals.
