Aside from the obvious preparation that needs to take place before venturing abroad, there is a lot of extra work that goes into our beach ready routines that we think all girls can relate to. From choosing the perfect manicure and pedicure nail colour that will compliment our bikini's to cracking out the exfoliating gloves to ensure smoother than smooth legs for beside the pool. Although the pre holiday prep can be quite intense, we love it really as it means that the countdown to flying away for a week has come to an end! We're both off to Gran Canaria with the family tomorrow and so we've put together a little post featuring images from Pinterest which sums up what's been on our to do list.

PACKING. Some treat this task as a joy and pack weeks in advance, others despise it and leave it until last minute. Whichever packer you consider yourself to be, it does have to be done! We often start off with more than we need and then gradually filter through the mountain of strappy tops and denim shorts - that we actually don't need an abundance of for a week's holiday..

SUNCREAM. Le essentiel pour les vacances. It's a must have and incredibly important so whether you pack a few bottles in your suitcase or buy the stuff while your out there, please ensure you wear it, your skin will be super thankful!

SHAVING. A task we can often dismiss in the cold winter months becomes a constant chore in the summer. We feel your pain ladies. Wax, razor or epilator whatever your instrument, shaving before a holiday is a must for us to ensure silky smooth skin - sassy.

BROWS. You may be able to tell from pictures of us (often posted to Instagram) or from past blog posts but we are dedicated lovers of a bold brow. Lily Collins is a prime example of bold brows done right and we absolutely love her look. Saying that before a holiday we like to ensure that our eyebrows are plucked and shaped slightly more than usual to avoid those awkward white lines that you can get if you don't tend to the brows before hand. You know what we mean!

MAKE UP. On holiday we prefer to wear a lot less makeup, it allows for our skin to breathe and it's a lot less time consuming that way! We narrow down our makeup bags to the bare essentials with some added extras being bright lip colours, shimmery eyeshadows and golden bronzers to enhance our new found tans!

BOOKS. Is there anything more relaxing than getting stuck into a good book while you're lounging by the pool enjoying the sun's rays? Not a lot? No we thought so. We're big fans of John Green's books at the moment and so we're going to be reading Paper Towns and Will Grayson, Will Grayson.

MUSIC PLAYLIST. Updating our iPods and tablets with fresh summer music is always an essential. "Bills" by LunchMoneyLewis is one of our favourites at the moment and we can see it being a real hit for us this summer.

CARRY ON. Almost all of our essential and treasured items will be stored in our carry on. Obviously the passport, tickets and currency will be your most important essentials however we don't know about you but we often fill it with a hundred other things that we hope will help entertain us during the trip..

Lastly here's Miranda Kerr showing us how effortless but stylish travel style is done! Printed trousers are our go to however we'll be opting for flat shoes and leaving the blazer at home on this occasion!
Thanks for reading! Enjoy your holidays this summer!
