Good evening lovelies!<br />
<br />
Festival season is in full swing and I can't quite believe it's almost over already! I feel like my life is one big countdown to festival season, then Christmas, then all over again.<br />
<br />
One of my next ones is BoomTown, and I couldn't be more excited! It's been on my list for a few years and it's finally happening next weekend. I'm taking my two best friends thanks to my festival faves <a href="https://www.rocketdog.co.uk/"><b>Rocket Dog</b></a>. We teamed up last year for Bestival and their Rainy wellie boots were my absolute saviour in the mud!<br />
<br />
We've teamed up again for a competition to win a festival survival kit plus some sassy footwear (HELLO <a href="https://www.rocketdog.co.uk/Search/rainy"><b>rainbow wellies</b></a> & <a href="https://www.rocketdog.co.uk/products/copalr_bk/esxrd-copa-rainbow-platform-sandal"><b>rainbow wedges</b></a>!) - just head to <a href="http://instagram.com/lulutrixabelle"><b>my Instagram</b></a> to enter! All you gotta do is follow, like, tag a pal & tell us your festival must-have item.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to share my first BoomTown experience with you guys <3<br />

<br />
So the last month has not only been full of adventure, but I have also been working hard to finally officially launch my label FLUFFY, which I founded at university 3 years ago. After hand making each piece to order, and realising that this just isn't realistic if I want my brand to grow, i've finally started having my designs manufactured and brought my imagination to life.<br />
<br />
The whole experience of designing, seeing samples, making changes so everything's perfect, building a brand and seeing people wearing my designs, is everything I ever dreamed of as a child. Most kids had a dream job very different from the career they end up doing, but I really am living my childhood dream of being a fashion designer!<br />
<br />
I wanted to shared with you guys, my blog readers, the new collection (if you aren't up to date with me on Instagram). If it wasn't for my blog, I would have never got to where I am today where i'm in a position to invest into my business and make everything real. So I thank you guys for that :)<br />
<br />
The SS17 collection is available to shop online now at <a href="http://www.shopfluffy.com/">www.shopfluffy.com</a><br />

Say hello to my new fave trainers! These Airmax 95's bring me all the ninety's feels.<br />
<br />
This is Neal's Yard, one of the most colourful places in London, and it's one of my favourite! Every building has different colour painted windows - the building directly behind me is my DREAM home. It even has a roof terrace covered in greenery. Ah, a girl can wish!<br />
<br />
I was recently interviewed by online sportswear store Foot Asylum for their Style Sessions series. I've sassed up their Ellesse vintage style pink sweater with my fave jeans and of course a splash of rainbow. You can read the full interview <b><a href="https://www.footasylum.com/lowdown-style-sessions-lucy-rance-aka-lulutrixabelle/">here</a>.</b><br />

I popped down to London Fashion Week just for the day this weekend to check out the exhibitions and debut our Confetti Crowd x Sarah Baily jackets which we collaborated on - they're so dreamy! Sarah captured our colourful vision perfectly. They will be available to buy really soon so I will update you all then. I just know i'm gonna live in this jacket!</div>

I picked up this dreamy orange sequin dress on a trip to Iceland with Will - we found a fab pay per kilo vintage shop in Reykjavik. I didn't try it on but it fits like a glove, I love it when that happens! I'll be blogging about my trip in my next post incase any of you are interested.</div>

I realised I had this post all typed up and never shared it... but it's just so beautiful I had to publish it now. So here we are, the cutest place I visited last summer!<br />
<br />
BURANO, VENICE. I have seen this place all over Instagram for years and always dreamed of going there. I now want to retire there. It's one tiny island where EVERY single house is a different colour - CUTEST PLACE EVER?! Imagine my blogging backdrops if I lived here, there'd be a house to match every outfit!<br />
<br />
It's a bit of a mission to get to - around an hour on the boat from Venice. We were in such a rush that day which left us with just under an hour to explore this beautiful place, which was a shame. I'd definitely love to go back one day and have a proper wander round, and maybe even stay there (armed with a suitcase full of rainbow clothes of course!).<br />
<br />
We had a little wander, ate some pasta and stroked some cats, before having to rush off to get our train from Venice - Florence.<br />

This lilac house and green plant combo is literally what dreams are made of. It's inspired me so much that I this is how I want my future house to look like - what a gorgeous colour combo! This has been my computer background for a year.<br />

I recently filmed my current favourite make-up look for a day-to-day glam look, and had my boyfriend Will do the voiceover! He is a strange one so the outcome is pretty funny, check it out below...<br />

Heyyyy!<br />
<br />
As I mentioned in my last post, one of my New Year's resolutions is to relaunch my YouTube channel. So I thought what better way to begin than with some bargains, to hopefully inspire you to go thrifting. Check it out on my YouTube channel below, and don't forget to subscribe for more videos! <3<br />

If I write it down, I have to do it. That's the rule.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Eat healthier. </span><br />
Portion control. Drink tonnes more water. No sweets. Cut down on sugar. NO fizzy drinks.<br />
I'm not looking to drastically lose weight but I just want to be a fitter, healthier me. Taking advantage of the fact that my boyfriend is a personal trainer and having him whip me into shape.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Save not spend.</span><br />
I've not treated myself in a while and when it comes down to it, I have enough clothes to dress a whole school. So every time I want something i'm just gonna put that money into my savings and forget about it.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Re-launch blog & YouTube channel</span><br />
I'm very aware that I let my blog flop last year and I feel really bad about it. I fell out of love with blogging after starting 5 years ago, but new content ideas and a different path should be just what I need to get right back into it. I'll also be back on the Tube of You and have tonnes of video ideas coming real soon!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Read more books</span><br />
I bought about 20 books in 2016 and didn't finish one. And i've finally realised why - I feel like i'm wasting time by sitting down and reading. That's when I discovered audio books - DUH! I work from home so I can do my thang whilst being read a book. I finished a whole book in 1 day by reading whilst cleaning my room! All the books on my to-read list (or to actually finish list) are currently self-help books: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1473636604/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1473636604&linkCode=as2&tag=lulutrixabell-21" rel="nofollow">The Power Of Now</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0340750154/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0340750154&linkCode=as2&tag=lulutrixabell-21" rel="nofollow">The Art of Happiness</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/074992781X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=074992781X&linkCode=as2&tag=lulutrixabell-21" rel="nofollow">Life Is a Gift</a> & <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0091906814/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0091906814&linkCode=as2&tag=lulutrixabell-21" rel="nofollow">How to Win Friends and Influence People</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=lulutrixabell-21&l=as2&o=2&a=0091906814" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">Work on FLUFFY the label</span><br />
It was always my dream to be a fashion designer when I was little, so this year i'm going to work as hard as I can on making a super sassy little independent label, because i'm really good at sewing, and I don't put it to good use! Lets make that £30,000 degree worthwhile, lol *dies inside*<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Travel more & buy a campervan</span><br />
These come as one as I can't decide which I want more. My life dream is to own a motorhome and travel Europe, the UK & go to festivals in it. But at the same time I want to jet off again this year and explore more of Asia. Hopefully i'll be able to do both if I work hard...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">& finally, Confetti Crowd world takeover!</span><br />
2016 was our year, but 2017 is looking even more exciting already. Our biggest goal is to work with tonnes more charities who support girls and women worldwide.

<span style="text-align: left;">2016 was the best year of my life. I did more travelling than ever before, went to 10 festivals and holidayed with my love. I'm so excited for 2017 and what it will bring! Here's some of my highlights of the year...</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I went travelling solo</span><br />
The 7th March 2016 was one of the toughest days of my life; leaving my family, friends and boyfriend to fly 13 hours across the globe to begin my backpacking journey all on my own. I will never forget the feeling of saying goodbye to Will at the airport... let's just say I cried all the way to Bangkok. And then cried some more. Travelling was amazing, and i'm glad I did it solo, but it made me realise I never, ever want to travel on my own again. I returned early 6 weeks later because being away from home all got a bit too much. 2017 will be filled with lots more trips away, but this time with a friend/my boyf by my side!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I went to lots of festivals</span><br />
I attended a total of 10 festivals last year - how on earth did I fit them all in?! I swear I was at a festival every single weekend over the summer. I discovered new ones like Lost Village and Outlook, and re-visited my all time faves, Secret Garden Party and Bestival.<br />
Here's some of my highlights...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I spent 2 weeks in Italy with my best friend</span><br />
Even though 2 weeks here cost more than 2 months in Asia, it was so worth it. Travelling around Italy with Will, from Venice to Pompeii, was one of the best trips i've ever done! Highlights of this trip: Vespa tour around the Florence countryside, rooftop drinks in every city, seeing the Colosseum IRL, and Herculaneum was incredible.<br />

I'm so proud of us and all we have achieved in the last 2 years! Never did I think things would take off quite like they have. We've got so much planned for 2017 already. We want to show we are more than just girls who dress colourfully. Our main goal is to work with tonnes of charities supporting girls worldwide. Some of my 2016 highlights... working on campaigns with Topshop, Ribena, Estee Lauder, Dr Martens, Zandra Rhodes, Illamasqua and many more. Also being featured some magazines like Disorder & Debut!<br />

I've just about recovered from the busiest summer ever and we ended it in true Confetti Crowd style at one of our all time faves, BESTIVAL! I was lucky enough to attend this year with <a href="http://www.rocketdog.co.uk/"><b>Rocket Dog</b></a> who provided the shoes for 4 days of dancing (and rain).</div>

I bounced on the world's biggest bouncy castle, stayed in the cutest luxury tipi, boogied all night long, wore my sassiest outfits in the last smidgen of summer sun and even GOT MARRIED at the inflatable chapel!</div>

Bestival is up there in my top 5 favourite festivals, so thank you <a href="http://www.rocketdog.co.uk/"><b>Rocket Dog</b></a> for making it the most memorable one. I'm really sad that festival season is officially over as i'm at my happiest camping with friends and dancing in fields, but I have lots to look forward to for next year. </div>

<br />
Over the last few years that i've been going to festivals, one thing i've always seen people doing and been super jealous of, but never actually done - is hot tubbin' under the sun! <a href="https://www.bathingunderthesky.com/"><b>Bathing Under The Sky</b></a> have been at some of my favourite camping festivals - <a href="http://www.bestival.net/"><b>Bestival</b></a>, <a href="http://lostvillagefestival.com/"><b>Lost Village</b></a> and <a href="http://www.secretgardenparty.com/"><b>Secret Garden Party</b></a>. I finally got the chance to do it at SGP this year, to celebrate one of my best friends' birthday.<br />
<br />
Probably the only thing I dislike about festivals is feeling dirty and unfresh, but these guys provide everything you need to spruce up for a day of partying. Clean toilets, hot showers, sinks to brush your teeth, fresh towels, hair dryers, mirrors, and finally a jacuzzi, sauna and cool pool. We had the BEST morning chilling in the tub - we started at 10am and by 12 we were feeling so fresh and revived (and maybe a little tipsy). With their bar being really reasonably priced, we couldn't say no to a bottle of prosecco delivered to our tub for £30! (that's after the complimentary glass you get first).<br />
<br />
I know it seems so extravagant when there's so much else going on at a festival, but its definitely something worth doing for a special occasion, or just if you're feeling fancy - it's so nice to just chill out for a couple of hours, especially if you're hungover. Sweat that alcohol out honey!<br />
<br />
They'll be at Bestival in a few weeks time, so now would be a good time to book in as I know the best slots get booked up quickly. I'm very tempted to go again!<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">I've just returned from the most amazing two weeks travelling round Italy with my boyfriend Will. We started in Venice, then stopped off in Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum and finally Naples. I'll be blogging all about it over the next couple of weeks, adding to my travel posts and giving lots of recommendations and tips for travelling on a budget.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">I thought i'd just start by sharing some outfits I wore on my holiday, all featuring some <a href="http://ego.co.uk/long-boots.html">over-the-knee booties</a> i've styled up - all pairs are from <a href="http://ego.co.uk/long-boots.html">EGO</a>. I kept my outfits pretty simple just due to the fact that it was SOO hot, and I don't deal with heat well, so these easy breezy dresses were perfect for rooftop dinners with my honey! You all know i'm a sucker for a thigh high boot and EGO are the queens right now. I need some in every single colour!</span><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First we met up with the absolutely lovely illustrator <a href="http://www.lucas-antics.com/">Alex Lucas</a> in her hometown Bristol - just look at her hand painted house! She is the sweetest and ridiculously talented. She created the most fabulous illustration which filled an entire wall at Ribena's 'The Colouring Cafe', which was thcut up into 120 tiles; each to be coloured in and put back on the wall to create one huge, fruity, colourful and crazy piece of art!<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">We had such a wonderful day full of joy, quirk and colour at The Colouring Cafe - I forgot how much fun it is to sit down and colour in! We met so many lovely fun people, chatted, ate cakes, pizza, drank lots of Ribena and by the end of the night were drinking Ribena & prosecco - which is now my new favourite cocktail! The Ribena bar staff were also THE BEST - so fun!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Only I would choose the tile with the most lines - I think I was the last person out of the whole room to finish colouring in my tile, but it was worth it. The end result was INSANE, they somehow brought it to life with some super high tech crazy colourful lighting which literally blew everyone away!</span></div>

I really am at my happiest when I know i've got a festival to look forward to. I recently attended my first camping festival of the year with my Confetti Crowd gals, deep in the middle of nowhere in Lincolnshire, at a pretty new festival called <a href="http://lostvillagefestival.com/">Lost Village</a>. It was only its third year running which meant it was super small, only about 5000 people, which I loved! It meant nothing was far away, it was so easy to find your friends, the music didn't stay on tooooo late (i'm the kinda gal who NEEDS my sleep), and the general vibe was just really chill and fun.<br />
<br />
We were invited along with Illamasqua, to coincide with their new Hypnotica collection and "The Paint Den", their funky, colourful and creative tent painting people's faces daily for £10 a pop. We luckily got our make-up did every morning - glitter and rainbow eyes all round! Check out the new collection <a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/whats-new/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
There were stages and bars dotted all around the woods (all with literally no queues which was FAB - one thing I hate about festivals is queues!) and I loved the spooky "lost" vibe the woods gave it.<br />
<br />
The lovely guys at Regatta Outdoors kitted us out for many years to come, with the BEST tent i've ever slept in! Never have I ever slept so comfortably at a festival, which is usually something I struggle with. I didn't expect it to be so big, but it's absolutely the perfect size for a group of up to 6. It has 2 big bedrooms and a middle section more than big enough to stand up in.<br />
<br />
I made the mistake a couple years back of taking a pop up tent to a festival - and I have never been so cold or slept so uncomfortably in my life, so it really does pay off to invest in a good tent (even cheaper between a group of you). If you're wondering, It's the <a href="http://www.regatta.com/atlin-6-man-vis-a-vis-tent-0-14.html">Regatta Atlin 6-Man Tent</a> - all 4 of us would recommend it as the perfect festival tent!<br />

One thing I will say about Lost Village, and i'm rarely one to complain, but this didn't exactly get our weekend off to a good start. After a 5 hour drive sitting in traffic the whole way up the motorway, we were faced with a 2 hour queue not for the festival, for a bloody coach. To then take us on a 15 minute drive, to go LITERALLY across the road (one way roads meant we had to drive pretty much round the entire county), but they wouldn't let us walk. The car park field was NEXT DOOR to the entrance, but we still weren't allowed to walk. So so so annoying - especially since it's such a small festival, you just don't expect queues. Then of course we had to queue again to get searched and get through the gates. We didn't end up setting up camp til like 7pm - we left my house at noon!<br />
<br />
If you want me back next year Lost Village, you better sort this issue out... NOT COOL!<br />
<br />
Otherwise, a fabulous weekend. Thanks Illamasqua!<br />

The little town of Ubud in Bali, Indonesia, is hands down the most beautiful place i've ever been. It's like something out of a fairytale!<br />
<br />
Indonesian cuisine was seriously some of the most flavoursome and delicious food i've ever had. Every place we ate was so deceiving - most little eateries looked like nothing much from the outside, some even completely empty, but the meals were just wonderful. Look for anywhere which serves "Masakan Padang" - usually tonnes of dishes stacked up in the window of the cafe - you won't be disappointed. SO MUCH FLAVOUR!<br />
<br />
At one place, where i'm sure we were just sitting in a little lady's living room, I had one of the most delicious chicken dishes of my LIFE. And she cooked all 5 of our dishes separately, one after another - so fresh. Definitely try the places where the locals eat, which are usually out of the town a little bit, as they're the cheapest and best (although even the places on the high-street are still ridiculously cheap).<br />
<br />
We also found another place just by chance, which also didn't look like much from the outside, and there was NO ONE else eating in there. We walked in like "hmm, it's kinda dark and dingy in here", but were taken through to the back which overlooked a rice paddie - just check out the view from our table...<br />

Amazing right?! and here's what we ate... I have no idea what was on Sheree's plate but it smelled beaut! I treated myself to an Australian rib-eye steak, and by "treated" I meant I spent just over £5 on my whole meal including drinks. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of this place - although most of the cafes we ate at didn't have actual names, they were just there.</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">I'll mention where I stayed in Ubud, but i'm not sure I would recommend it. <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g297701-d7395997-Reviews-Balibbu_Hostel-Ubud_Bali.html">Balibbu hostel</a> seemed to be the only one around. It was okay, the locals who hang out there in the day were lovely and the general vibe was good, but the wi-fi didn't reach the rooms and they turned the aircon off ALL DAY (literally from about 7am-9pm) which means zero day naps! Usually i'd complain that it should come as standard, but for roughly £4.50 a night I couldn't really complain. There were lockers for valuables, cheap beers and the scooter hire guy pretty much lived there and was really nice, so no worry of being scammed!</span><br />

This place is abosolutely insane! The best waterfall I visited on my whole trip. Many of the waterfalls in Thailand had dried up due to hot season, but this one was crazzzzyyyyy big and so powerful. I couldn't stay in there for long as it literally took my breath away - so windy! We actually got lost on the way there and ended up at the <i>top</i> of the waterfall - sometimes getting lost is the best way to find a place, because you come across places like THIS abandoned hotel - looks like something out of a film set! We met a bunch of Bali kids who didn't speak a word of English but just followed us down the track, it was so cute.<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">2. Jungle Fish</span><br />
Oh. My. God. was my reaction when we walked into this place. An infinity pool in the middle of the jungle - I could never have even imagined this place in my dreams! We blew a couple million rupees in here (not so scary - its only about £100) between 4 of us. That included a bed table, delicious food and cocktails, with use of the pool all day. It was so amazing i'm even considering making it my honeymoon spot one day. It's a hotel too and I can imagine the rooms are just as lovely! I'm gonna write a separate blog post on this place so I won't say too much. But JUST GO THERE!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. BARC - Bali Dog Adoption & Rehabilitation Centre </span><br />
One thing I noticed about Bali - there's stray dogs EVERYWHERE. It's heartbreaking to see :( Unfortunately I ran out of days to go to this place but one day I will go back and volunteer. I feel like where i'm from, Brits are a nation of animal lovers - and unfortunately they aren't always treated the same in other countries. So it's nice to see a place like this, in a country which has so many poor little lonely doggies, which takes in and re-homes strays. I'm sure you could go in just to cuddle some puppies if you want. They also have a charity shop down the road which is a must visit - I got a top and skirt for under £2!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Hire a scooter! </span><br />
This is my number 1 tip anywhere you are in Asia. It's simply the best way to get around - not only is it cheap, but the views are just beautiful, the drive is so much fun (especially in convoy when there's a group of you), and sometimes you get lost and end up in the wrong place, which sometimes turns out to be the best place! Don't be put off by negative Nancy's and their stories - not everyone is out to mug you off and steal your money. Rent from your hostel or a recommended place so you know you can trust them. The drive around Ubud was hands down the best views of my life!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Ubud market</span><br />
I picked up sooo many bargains at this market! One thing to note: they pretty much all sell the same thing. So if you don't manage to haggle one person down to your ideal price, just go to the next stall. And make sure you wander deep into the market - the stalls right at the back, out of the way, were usually the cheapest! I didn't pay more than like £3 for an item of clothing. Expect Balinese queen dresses like the red one above, crochet blankets, dreamcatchers, silver jewellery and many penis shaped bottle openers.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">6. Be a vegan queen at Alchemy</span><br />
This place is just lovely! They sell 100% vegan food, drink and products. I discovered smoothie bowls here and now i'm obsessed! Sheree has even re-created her own smoothie bowl recipe <a href="https://shereemilli.com/2016/05/09/sherees-super-smoothie-bowl-recipe/">here</a>. We imagined the lifestyle of its cool customers - living the chill life in Ubud, eating fresh vegan food and doing yoga every day, cruising around on a scooter. Ah what a life! Very tempted to move to Ubud one day. Just look at our breakfast!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Monkey forest!</span><br />
Another thing I didn't manage to do, but I did drive through it lots on my scooter. It's based in the centre of town, so you have to drive through to get to the main high street, which means: monkies everywhere! They're so cute, and quite tame apparently.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Rice paddies</span><br />
The drive around the rice paddies was just insanely beautiful! There are many you can go and explore on foot too. When we went it was waaay too hot to go out walking for long, but I can imagine in the cooler seasons this is just lovely!<br />

<br />
There's sooo much more to do in Ubud that I didn't get round to doing, the possibilities are endless. It's also right in the centre of the island of Bali, which means its a great place to stop off if you're touring the whole island (which I totally want to go back and do one day!)<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed this little guide, and I hope it'll inspire some of you to visit Ubud soon!<br />

Koh Phangan was the weirdest place. On the couple of days leading up to the infamous <b>full moon party,</b> the island was super busy, the hostels were all booked up and the vibe was generally buzzing. But within a day or so after, this place is DEAD. I ended up in a hostel in an 8 bed dorm, on my OWN! The whole island emptied, including my friends Sheree & Sinead, and I was left feeling really lonely yet again. I spent a total of 5 nights on Koh Phangan which was too long for me. I kinda based my brief plan of action around full moon, which happens once a month. I so could have done without it. Honestly, there's MUCH better parties on this island! I'll share my thoughts below...<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where to stay?</span><br />
<br />
<b>Lazy House Shenanigans</b><br />
I personally LOVED this hostel. We had an unlucky situation with the original hostel we booked, where it had "closed down" when we arrived, but CBA to go into that. Anyway, in the end we were glad as the new hostel had a great vibe, a sick garden and bar, pool parties and a BBQ every night - so we were more than happy. We paid around £18 each per night for a 14 bed dorm, which anywhere else in Thailand would be ridiculously expensive, but unfortunately this is the minimum you'll pay to stay around the week of FMP. A lot of hostels have a <b>minimum 5 night booking </b>too, which is annoying.<br />
<br />
This hostel is in a pretty good location. It's a few minutes walk from both beaches either side of Haad Rin bay, which is where the FMP is based. However it's a taxi/scooter ride away from the main town, which means its pretty quiet in the day time. There's no need to stay near Haad Rin just for the party, since you can taxi anywhere on the island for so cheap anyway. The hostel also made a BOOM pad thai and massaman curry, which I ate twice daily for 4 days on the trot. SO GOOD, and only <b>100baht/£2</b>. I miss you cheap food.<br />
<br />

<b>The Magic Wave</b><br />
I can imagine this is a really good hostel to stay in when it's busy. But typically, poor Lucy ends up on her own. I was in a huge <i>8 person dorm</i> on my own - it had marble floors, a huge kingsize bed, an ensuite and great aircon - I was living like a queen and I had no one to enjoy it with! I can't explain how weird it felt that the island just completely emptied after the full moon. There was barely anyone else staying in the hostel so I didn't meet anyone except for two girls who were leaving the next day. However it had a great pool, was a 1 minute walk from the beach, has games/activities in the garden, a nice bar, plus the decor was really cool. It was really cheap too, I think I paid about <b>£5 a night</b>.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What's good in Koh Phangan?</span><br />
<br />
For the most famous Thai island, there wasn't as much going on as I expected from Koh Phangan. I'll share my faves though...<br />
<br />
<b>Eden</b><br />
After spending all of about 10 minutes walking through the full moon party, we knew it wasn't for us. After a few weeks travelling around Thailand I had heard this mysterious "Eden" party was the place to be, which happened to be on the same night as full moon, as it takes place on a Tuesday and Saturday. This place was hands down one of the coolest places i've ever partied! Based in a hut-turned-club on the side of the rocks, on a beach which can only be reached by what can only be described as a pirate ship, I had one of the funniest nights of my life in this place! Thank god I had Sheree with me to make me laugh as always, as well as some American guys, one of which just had me in stitches all night. He looked like a cartoon character or like he should play the lead character in a film. His stories made me die! Then a guy popped up who I swear was just talking literal jibberish, like a real life Sim or something - I was so confused but Sheree seemed to get him, and that made me die of laughter even more. Then a Peter Andre lookalike came into our life, and I thought I was done. I have never laughed so hard in my LIFE. THEN Sheree got electrocuted by a light, and that finished me off. I'm cracking up just thinking about that moment! (sorry Sheree-ree.) Anyway, Eden is a must! Honestly the FMP music was so bad - David Guetta/Aviici crap. Go to Eden if you like good house music!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Amsterdam Bar</b><br />
The name kinda speaks for itself here... this bar was SO cool! Based on a mountain side, with the best view of the sunset ever. The vibes were perfect - there's a lush pool and cushions everywhere, everyone just chats and chills and gets high.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><span id="goog_69517900"></span>Water World</b><br />
I wouldn't really call this place a water <i>world</i>, but it was a lot of fun! Luckily we got free tickets through our hostel, otherwise it's £20 for the day which I probably wouldn't have paid myself. It was basically a load of inflatables thrown in the sea (funner than it sounds) and some other activities including zorbing, a massive slide and trampoline bungees. It was nice to be in and out of the water all day since it was SO hot.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Jungle Party</b><br />
This party beat the full moon party hands down! It had a really similar vibe to some of the stages in the woods at <b><a href="http://www.secretgardenparty.com/">Secret Garden Party</a></b> festival (my favourite ever) - dark jungle vibes with trippy lighting and artwork everywhere. The music was really good and we had a great little team of party peeps.<br />
<br />
That's pretty much it for my Koh Phangan recommendations - I hope this has been helpful, and i'll see you in my next post for more Thailand travel diaries :)<br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">The Little Kitchen Cookery School</span><br />
<br />
One thing high on my to-do list when I visited Thailand was to take part in a Thai cookery class. There were tonnes to choose from in the northern city of Chiang Mai, so my new pal Tom and I went with one recommended by our hostel, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/The-Little-Kitchen-Thai-Cookery-School-1491697111126822/info/?tab=overview">The Little Kitchen</a>. It turned out to be one of the best days of my entire trip! I met Tom randomly at the Paddy's day pool party at my hostel, turns out we have a few mutual friends and live about 30 minutes from each other. Such a small world! I love it when that happens.<br />
<br />
We were expecting to be in a class of about 10, but it turned out it was just us two. Since we booked so last minute (a couple of hours before), I guess they had no classes planned for that afternoon. Which was perfect, as it meant we had 4 hours of one-on-one time with the chef. They even picked us up in a private car and drove us to and from the place, all included in the discounted price of <b>800baht/£16 each!</b> Any activity you want to do can be organised through your hostel, so don't worry about having to book things yourself. You often get a slight discount too. For this price we made 5 dishes, with <b>all ingredients included</b>, which is incredibly cheap! You also get a certificate, which was such a cute touch, and <b>recipe book</b> to keep so you can recreate the dishes at home.<br />
<br />

<br />
The class starts with a trip to the local market to buy fresh ingredients like meat and veg. We got to make 5 courses each papaya salad, pad Thai, green curry/massaman curry, tom yum soup and mango sticky rice. I was so excited to make my number 1 favourite Thai dish, massaman curry, which turned out beautifully! I was a bit disappointed we didn't get to make the curry paste from scratch, but it was pre-prepared fresh by the chef. The recipe book came with a recipe for the paste though, so i'll give it a go soon and share the recipe with you guys. I have since recreated the dish at home using <a href="http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=268578838">Tesco massaman paste</a> and it turned out amazingly tasty - you just an't go wrong with this curry!<br />

We stupidly went out for breakfast before the course, which was a big mistake! I was so full after the first two courses, that the last 3 went straight in the bin. I sooooo regret that now i'm sitting here drooling over these photos. DO NOT EAT BEFORE YOU GO!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would recommend this cooking course to any budding chef. Even beginners will find it easy! I can't wait to cook more of these dishes at home. I lived on pad Thai, eating it most days in Thailand - for a noodle dish it's sooo full of flavour! YUM YUM.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Let me first start by saying please excuse the major delay between my last blog post and now. Blogging from an iPad whilst on-the-go is proving to be more a little more difficult than I had hoped! Next time I think i'll take my laptop so I can back up my photos and blog more frequently.</span><br />
<br />
So, I am writing this 6 weeks into my trip, referring back to my travel journal to jog my memory (I only ended up writing in it for about a week, then gave up because I was too busy having fun!) and wanted to share with you one of my favourite places i've been... <b>Pai</b>! Lovely lovely Pai. I fell completely in love with this picturesque sleepy hippie town set in the middle of the mountains in northern Thailand. So many people told me I must go here and i'm so glad I did! It takes about 3 and a half hours by minibus from Chiang Mai. If you get car sick definitely take some tablets before you leave - the drive is pretty crazy. Something like 650 turns round windy mountain roads - a few people threw up on the way there and back.<br />
<br />
For such a tiny town, there is so much to do in Pai. I had initially booked 2 nights here but ended up staying for 6 days as I was so obsessed with exploring the town. I met up with my lovely friend from home Sheree (who I met through blogging 4/5 years ago) who has recently started an AMAZING travel blog - <a href="https://thefashionablebackpacker.com/">The Fashionable Backpacker</a> - she blogs way more regularly than me, it's a must read for any budding travellers! After almost 20 hours of travelling to reach Pai, I was so happy to see a familiar face I burst into tears.. such an emotional little Lulu.<br />
<br />
During my time in Pai, I tried out a scooter for the first time (something I had been warned not to do by many travellers pre-trip) but my gosh, it turned out to be one of the <b>best decisions</b> i've ever made! I have never felt as free as I have exploring Thailand by motorbike. I've not had one scuffle my whole trip so I can assure you that as long as you don't drive too fast, just stick to basic road rules and be very aware of your surroundings always, you'll be FINE. Don't let other people's silly mistakes put you off renting a bike, it's absolutely the best way to get out and explore. And in Pai, it cost just 100baht (£2) per day to hire, and 50baht (£1) for a full tank of petrol, which lasted days!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Where to stay?</span><br />
<br />
I booked into <a href="http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/The-Famous-Pai-Circus-Hostel/Pai/91394">Pai Circus School</a> hostel without researching it, as Sheree and her friend Sinead were staying there, and it was absolutely incredible! I was really thrown into the deep end in terms of living outside my comfort zone - I was living in a wooden hut with communal toilets/showers, which cost just <b>320baht/£6.40 per night</b> (I actually had a double hut which should have cost 450baht/£9 but the receptionist didn't realise hehe). You can also stay in a dorm here for 200baht/£4 per night if you're on a budget, but if there's two of you its worth getting your own hut. The bathrooms are pretty grim, and often made me feel dirtier <i>after</i> a shower since there were ants everywhere, but bareable. If you have a phobia of public toilet seats like me, you'll just have to squat and bare it - you'll soon get used to peeing and pooing in gross places.<br />
<br />
You'll really embrace your inner hippie at this hostel - in the day you can take part in circus activities, free yoga classes, and by night they throw parties, family meals and open mic nights. It was the busiest place I stayed at during my time in Thailand, new people were constantly arriving, which means you'll meet tonnes of new friends!<br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Things to do in Pai</span><br />
<br />
Pai is set in the middle of the nowhere, but it's almost impossible to get lost as there's just a few main roads which all lead to each other. By scooter you can easily reach all the local attractions within 20 minutes. Pai's walking street is absolutely lovely, we walked down most evenings and which takes about 10 minutes, or a couple of minutes by bike. Definitely go for a wander first because the walk down is absolutely beautiful - you'll cross the river over a questionably wobbly bamboo bridge to get into town.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hot Springs</span><br />
<br />
This place absolutely baffled me... natural pools of 80-100 degree water just bubbling away in the middle of the woods. You can swim in the pools at the bottom of the hill which are still up to 38 degrees, but they were almost too hot to bare in the already 30 degree heat! I wouldn't say they were worth the 300baht/£6 entry fee, but it was really interesting to see. Locals even go there to <b>boil eggs</b> - crazy!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Pai Farm</span><br />
<br />
This was my favourite attraction in Pai - I love me a farm! There were hundreds of rabbits and teeny tiny baby bunnies, alpacas, fluffy goats and more, set in the most beautiful location around a lake. You can stay here too in cute colourful bungalows. You can buy food to feed all the animals and cuddle the bunnies!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Get a tattoo!</span><br />
<br />
You're probably thinking drunk tattoos are never a good idea, but I couldn't go to Thailand and not get a new tattoo. There are tonnes of legit, safe and clean tattoo studios in Pai, and they're really cheap! <b>Bamboo tattoos</b> are a thing in Thailand and the most common technique, which is done by hand using needles and pieces of bamboo. It doesn't hurt at all, and heals in 24 hours so is much safer if you're swimming etc. I decided on a strawberry, because, well I just love strawberries. And we went to a strawberry farm, and strawberry daiquiris are my favourite cocktail. So why not get a strawberry on my ankle?! I will admit the guy was drinking red wine before he tatted us, but it was his friends birthday so we'll let him off... It's a little scrappy round the edges but that's what gives it character. I'll always remember my special time in Pai when I look at it!<br />

<br />
There's much more to do in Pai, but some stuff is best to do in high season, not HOTHOTHOT season when the waterfalls and rivers are almost dried up. Apparently there's some good jungle hikes, and rafting activities down the road too.<br />
<br />
Pai did not disappoint! A must visit.<br />

As I publish this post almost a month after writing it, I'm in a much happier place right now. So please excuse the bad vibes! And sorry for the delay on my travel blogging - I've been so busy and have hardly found a moment to sit down and write.
So I'll be completely honest, I really didn't enjoy Bangkok. I'm used to, and I love big cities, but in 40 degree heat it really was unbearable. It made me not want to do anything, so the 4 days I spent there were a bit of a drag! I felt so emotional after such a long flight, I have never felt such a feeling before. I instantly felt so alone, missed my family and missed my boyfriend. It didn't really settle in that I wouldn't see them for so long until I checked in, got into my tiny little room and just burst out in tears. All I wanted to do was get on the next flight home. I spoke to some friends who said they'd felt the exact same, and that in a few days this feeling will pass. Looking back now, I wish I'd taken people's advice and stayed in a hostel from day 1. Having a private room in a hotel meant I was not only £58 down as soon as I arrived, but I didn't meet ANYONE where I was staying! I was pretty much just paying for the nice rooftop pool (which I didn't even use).

I know there is tonnes to do in Bangkok but I barely explored at all. The first day and night I was in such a sad mood that I didn't leave my room all day. The next day I finally plucked up the courage to go out for a drink on my own - I must have walked up and down Khao San Road (backpacker central) at least 4 times before finally deciding on a bar to go and sit in. I hadn't physically had a conversation with someone for at least 36 hours, and I knew I'd tear up as soon as someone started speaking to me! I was in the weirdest mood. Luckily I wasn't alone for long, a waiter put a guy on the table next to me and when he saw I was alone too we got chatting. When I first saw him I thought he was foreign so I was like "dammit' we won't be able to speak!" but turns out he lives about 40 minutes from my house back home! Small world. His name was Josh and he was super lovely, so easy to talk to - we had a really fun night bar crawling and ended up in a really cheesy little club drinking "sperm" shots (sounds gross, <em>was</em> gross.) I spent the next couple of days with him - thankfully he was eager to explore the city so it means I got out of my hotel a bit more than I would have on my own. He was the perfect person I could have bumped into!

We tuk-tuk'ed to China town, visited some temples, spent another night on crazy Khao San Road and ended up at a ping pong show! If you know, you know. A must see, crazy but actually pretty cool LOL.

By Friday I was more than ready to leave Bangkok. I regret booking 3 nights there as it wasn't really my kind of vibe - not how I imagined Thailand to be at all. I would recommend only staying a maximum of 1-2 nights in Bangkok, unless cheesy night life and bad pop music is your thang. I know there is much more to do in Bangkok I'm terms of good night life, but I really was too hot to bother looking. I was so eager to get up to North Thailand, meet some friends from home and chill out in Pai.
The overnight train was interesting - I'm really glad I experienced it, I wanted to try it out and I did end up getting a good nights sleep. You get your own flat bed, with curtain for privacy, clean sheets and can even have dinner delivered to your seat. Now that I've done it, I probably wouldn't use the night train again unless I am really on a budget. The 15 hour journey compared to a 1 hour flight really doesn't make up for the £20ish saved on going by train.
I arrived in Chiang Mai around 10am and hopped on a minibus to Pai straight away. I can officially say Pai is the cutest place I've ever been. I became so much happier here than I was in Bangkok. But I'll speak about that in my next post...

I love it when sportswear brands come together with fabulous artists, and Puma has definitely been on a roll lately! First the Rihanna collection (which I never managed to get my hands on, CRY) and now this fun and super colourful collection with artists Dee & Ricky. They have mixed Puma's rich sporting heritage with the design duo's whimsical world where "no colour is too bold, and no detail is overlooked."<br />
<br />
What I love about this collection is the primary colours used (blue green red and yellow, such a sassy combination) which happen to go perfectly with my favourite vintage striped jumper! The shoes i'm wearing are so fun, they remind me of a tennis ball. They're velcro in texture and come with loads of little patches you can mix and match - such a cute touch right?! Every little detail, even down to the colourful buttons, is so well thought out and draws the whole collection together perfectly. My boyfriend is jealous of my funky trainers (can't you ask for them in a size, 9, he says!)<br />
<br />
See the collection in full with this adorably creative animated video:<br />

I am DREADING my 11 and a half hour flight. I managed to find a cheap direct flight with British Airways but it means no stopover to break up the loooong journey to Bangkok. I can barely stand a 4 hour flight, let alone one this long - its the furthest i've ever flown. Now I have no fear of flying, the actual flying/height part doesn't phase me. I just HATE being uncomfortable - I can't even sit still in a cinema for a 2 hour film, my legs seize up and my back aches. But most of the time I have my boyfriend next to me to lean on, so I am dreading being confined to a tiny little seat for so long.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I recently decided to treat myself to an iPad (the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OTHF73A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B00OTHF73A&linkCode=as2&tag=l032a-21" target="_blank">Mini 3 64gb</a>) which i've loaded up with films and TV shows to keep me entertained on flights and train journeys over the next few months. This along with my Urbanears headphones, a travel pillow and eye mask are my absolute flight essentials! I'll be going make-up free so no need to worry about what I look like once I arrive (i'll be a tired zombie mess but at least I can go straight to bed once I reach my hotel).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The bag i've decided to use is this beautiful pink holographic backpack by <a href="http://www.mi-pac.com/" target="_blank">MiPac</a>. I own two more which I use all the time - they're the perfect size for travelling, festivals, commuting etc. This will become my day backpack when i'm exploring cities, hiking and going to the beach. The two zip handles mean it's lockable with a padlock, so you can rest assure it won't be tampered with when you're exploring - this is a big must for me, as i'm such a safety freak.</div>
