Try Something New

Guess whose back?

Me! I had a fantastic first girls holiday with my friend K. I'm not going to lie, we did a power of drinking and soaking up the sun, so much so, that I burned my butt! Ouch.

This was my first holiday without my dad and I have to admit, as much as I missed him, I had the time of my life.

K showed me that I could have a drink and enjoy myself. I could dance until the sun came up and no one would judge up having the walk of shame at 5am, because everyone was in the same boat! Falling asleep with my chips, cheese and curry sauce, K on the phone and finding me in the most bazaar positions and actually being ok with it! That's the kind of friend you need! Regardless of your current position, they still think you're brilliant.

When I talk to people about their girls holidays, they tell me that they have fall outs with friends and sometimes don't even see those people again and it's sad! With K and I, we didn't argue or fight once! This is the truth! You can actually be with someone for a week and not fight. It's all about compromise. We made mutual decisions and listened to each other if we did feel uncomfortable. K and I danced until 5am, we went to different bars with live music and some with DJs. My feet never felt so sore, but it was totally worth it.

For anyone who knows me, I am a little intimidated by new experiences. I go into a shell and if I don't want to do something I can be stubborn and scared. K knew this, but she talked me into coming out of Santa Ponsa for a night and heading to Magaluf. It was an amazing experience, 40 euro a ticket, a tshirt, a bag, a towel and FREE drink all night long? Count me in! K introduced me to dance music and now I feel more open to new challenges and experiences.

I loved having a night out in Magaluf but my heart will always belong to Santa Ponsa.

So let me take you back to a holiday that made you feel so alive. Whether it be abroad on a sandy beach, or a long weekend with the other half. Sometimes when life gets on top of you, all you think about is the negatives, but when I think about Santa Ponsa, it makes me look at things differently. It gives me a purpose as to why I work, why I write.

Having something to look forward too doesn't necessarily mean a holiday, it could be coming home to your puppy who just wants to jump all over you because they can, it could be meeting with an old friend, rebuilding bridges with loved ones, even trying a new brand of coffee!  

No matter the reason, make sure you try something new, not for others but for yourself!

I hope you all have a great week and please, try something new!
