Autumn Purchases.

So it's been a very long time since I've posted! Welcome back if your a regular reader of Sunny Like July, and a big hello to you if you have never been here before! I have a lot of ideas for new blogposts and I want to really change this little space up and make it a lot better, I'm thinking of changing the name, redesigning and having way better content WAY more regularly. This week I'm going to try do as much writing and photographing as I can, and I hope that I can get into a routine of posting 3-4 times a week soon! I just wanted to post something so I would get the feel for blogging again, and get motivated!

I have a few pictures of recent purchases and I thought it would be a waste if I didn't put them anywhere, so here's a few things that I bought and that I love!

Body Shop Tea Tree Cleanser: I bought this a few weeks ago, and I can definitely see an improvement in my skin. I'd just had it with my old cleanser, and I really want to get a proper skincare routine, so I thought this would be a good way to start it off. I have my eye on a Kiel's moisturiser, and next time I'm in Dublin you can be sure I'll be thinking of picking it up!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in "Asia." I've always looked at Mac lipsticks and thought that they were just beautiful, especially shades like "Velvet Teddy," and "Brave," neutral rosy/brown shades that I thought would look just amazing. When I was in Boots recently, I saw this Rimmel lipstick and thought it bore a striking resemblance to those two Mac beauts, and so I picked it up and I can safely say it's my new favourite lipstick, it's just a perfect Autumnal shade.

Rimmel "Wake Me Up" Mascara: Another Rimmel purchase, because to be honest about half of my modest makeup collection consists of Rimmel. I don't know why I bought this mascara, because I'd never heard anyone talk about it, and if I'm honest this is probably my least favourite mascara I've tried. In my life I've only had three different types of mascaras, so I'm no expert, but I find this very average and not amazing. It'll definitely too the job and I'm not going to get a new one until it dries up, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Garnier Micellar Water: Every single beauty blogger has had something to say about this product, and I had run out of my makeup remover so I picked it up. To date it still hasn't been used, because for the last two weeks I've pretty much worn no makeup whatsoever, but I'm sure it will be great.

Rimmel Sun Shimmer Tan: I'm extremely pale, which I'm growing to hate less. I used to wish that I had a beautiful tan but recently I've actually grown to kind of like my ghostly skin tone! I bought this tan for a night out and it didn't really show up on my skin, although I have a funny feeling that I did not leave it on nearly as long as I should have to let it develop, so I'm definitely going to give it another go.

Thank you so much for reading! To be honest I'm considering not posting this because I don't think it's an amazing post, but I also really want to break the silence! I've gotten a lot of inspiration lately of the kind of direction I want to take my blog. In the past I could never find any blogs that weren't about beauty/fashion, so that's what I ended up reading and it really influenced my blog. I'm no expert in makeup, and I don't want this to be a beauty blog. I will definitely post about makeup and style sometimes, but I want to write about other things, and make this blog a place I'm really proud of. If I never surpass 50 followers, but I love the content that I'm creating, then I'll still be happy! Please leave any non-beauty blogs that you like in the comments or tweet me! I would love some inspiration too so if you have any blogpost ideas please tell me!

Thanks for reading, the next time I post something, I will more than likely have a brand new blog name, design, and far better content! See you soon, love from Clio.

Shoot For The Stars, and You'll Land On The Moon.

There’s a saying that I think about quite a lot, and it goes something like: “Aim for the stars, and if things don’t work out, you’ll still land on the moon.” What I interpret this quote to mean, is to aim really high, and if your plans don’t succeed, you’ll still have done pretty well for yourself. That’s how I hope to live my life, although I’d be perfectly happy landing among the stars too! 

So I’m going to apply this theory to my list of things that I want to achieve this summer. I’ll make it really condensed and full to the brim, and try have everything ticked off by the end of August. But if I get almost everything done, that will still be a huge achievement. 

1. Make over 1000 euro. I have a job for the summer, and I need at least 1000 euro to buy the camera and equipment I want to have for next year, and I want a little on the side to spend and save too. 
2. Read 6 books. So far I’ve almost read one, so I’m a bit behind on this, but I’m sure I’ll be able to catch up! 
3. Learn how to play the guitar well. 
4. Put up three blogposts a week. All written well and with top quality photographs too. I’d also be over the moon if I had around 50 followers by the ed of the summer. I know that’s pretty much double the amount I have now, but I plan on releasing much more frequent,  much more quality content. I don’t see why it can’t be reached! I’d also like to better my other social medias, like Instagram and Twitter. Make them more professional, if you know what I mean. All this is going to be quite a difficult task with basically no internet though! 
5. Draw something everyday, and have loads of sketches and ideas for big pieces and works that I want to start come September. 
6. Swim in the cold, cold sea, almost every day. 
7. Write in my diary every night before I go to sleep. I always try to start diaries, but I’m just awful at commitment. So I’m going to try and write a load. 
8. Speaking of writing, I want to start writing a book, and have it finished by November/December. So I better get started on that soon, I want to have a good few chapters done by August. 
9. Be able to do the splits!

Those are my main nine projects for July and August. I better get started if I want to have anything done by the end of the summer! If you have any summer goals, please leave them in the comments section. Let’s all motivate each other people!

Right now where I am, it’s sunny like July for once! Thanks for reading - Clio.

What's In My Beach Bag.

Welcome back to Sunny Like July! I've been trying to post every two days, and to be honest I completely forgot that I had to put a blogpost up today, and I had nothing prepared! So before I went out and about today, I thought I'd just empty out the contents of my bag and take a few quick pictures. Sorry this post isn't up to my usual standard, I'm still getting used to frequent posting! But here is what I'd take with me for a day at the beach/pool.

Bikini:

I always bring a spare bikini with me in case I want to go in swimming twice. The blue bikini top photographed is from FOREVER 21 and the navy bottoms are from Penneys.

Sun Cream: I always bring this Garnier SPF 50 sun cream, because my fair skin does not handle hot days well.

Water: Quite self-explanatory really, I always carry around a 500ml bottle to keep hydrated.

Body Mist & Deodorant: To spray on after I go for a swim or if I get a bit sweaty in the heat. The body spray is from Ted Baker, and the deodorant is JÁSÖN Fragrance Free Pure Natural Deodorant Stick. 

Makeup wipes: I sometimes wear some light makeup during the summer, but I always take it off before swimming, and makeup wipes are the easiest way to remove makeup on the go. My favourites to use are the Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Wipes, photographed above.

Sunglasses: I like to buy my sunglasses in Penneys/Primark because I usually lose them or they get scratched at the bottom of my bag. They're definitely a beach/pool essential though!

Wide-tooth comb: Always useful to brush out those saltwater-induced tangles.

Book: I love to read beside the pool or the sea, so I always pack a book in my holiday bag. The one I'm reading now is "The Darkest Minds" by Alexandra Bracken.

A5 Sketchpad & Pencils: I love to bring this miniature sketchpad with me on sunny days just in case I sporadically feel like drawing something. This mini sketchpad is from Tiger, and the pencils I use are watercolour Faber-Castell ones.

That's all I've packed into my beach bag for a sunny day! Thanks for reading, and I'll be back soon with a new post. Leave a comment telling me your beach bag essentials!

YouTube Content Creators I Look Up To.

So if you know me personally, you will know that I adore YouTube. I watch videos from many mind blowing YouTubers every day, and I thought I’d shed some light on some extremely talented and hardworking content creators who I look up to and who inspire me. I’ve always been interested in film, and some of the filmmakers and YouTubers I’m about to mention create top-quality videos that rival those you’d see on the big screen, those who have hundreds of people working on them, and budgets high into the millions. I feel like the videos put up on YouTube are sometimes even better, because it really feels like there is a community around the YouTuber, and it’s a lot more personal than a Hollywood blockbuster. With no further ado, here are some phenomenal YouTube content creators that make me jump for joy every time I see their videos pop up in my subscription box. 

The Michalacks.

It’s hard for me to believe that I’ve been watching Hannah and Stef’s weekly vlogs for over a year now. Their videos are the kind that you watch, and think that they’ve set the bar too high for themselves, but every vlog seems to be even better than the last. I just can’t put into words how much their videos make my week. Hannah and Stef live in London with their toddler Grayson, quite possibly the cutest child I’ve ever seen in my life. The vlogs are like weekly video diaries, and they document the things they did during the week with their cameras. Their quality footage and Stef’s editing results in a 20-30 minute video, uploaded on a Sunday afternoon, and is full of Stef and Hannah’s interesting thoughts and quirky humour, lots of shots of little Grayson that would melt even the coldest of hearts, and as Stef likes to put it, an abundance of “silky montages” that make me want to pick up a camera and start filming right there and then. Add to the mix some cool folksy music, beautiful shots of London, a vespa, and a lot of makeup bag wrapping, and you have yourself a Michalack vlog! If you haven’t already, I’d highly recommend checking out their channel and supporting them with all the thumbs up’s, comments, and subscribing to them too, and soon enough, the Michalack vlog will be the best part of your week. 

Casey Neistat.

I can’t decide who’s my favourite, Casey Neistat or the Michalack’s. Both vloggers are very different, but have the most astounding quality videos on the whole of YouTube. Casey is a filmmaker from New York, and he uploads a vlog every day, each one starting off with the most amazing time-lapses, and his signature musical sequence that I’m playing in my head right now as I write this blogpost. He is the only daily vlogger that I can watch religiously, because every vlog is different and keeps the viewer on their toes. He’s always doing or saying something interesting, and he makes me want to pack up my bags and move to New York, because he makes the place look so appealing with his amazing camerawork and storytelling. He’s currently working on his “new company” which viewers know nothing about, so it’s cool to see behind the scenes of that. His New York office is so cool, I could only hope and dream that I’d get to work in a space like that when I’m older. Every one of his vlogs is like a short film, such amazing quality, and I’d love to some day be as good as him.

HeyClaire.

I’m just going to say it; Claire Marshall may be the coolest person alive! She’s a makeup-artist who started a YouTube channel, and it’s so obvious that she has a background in the beauty industry, because that girl has skills! What I love the most about Claire’s videos is her editing and camerawork. She’s one of the only beauty YouTuber’s I’ve seen who has really perfected these two things, and I’d recommend watching her even if you don’t have an interest in makeup, because she turns makeup-centred videos into film-quality pieces. She’s also a vlogger, and by now you’ve probably guessed that I’m a sucker for a good vlog! Her videos are just so clean and crisp, and so perfectly timed. I’d recommend checking out her “What’s In My Handbag” and her “Vanity Tour,” she always takes such a different approach to her videos and you can tell the amount of work she puts into them. I also love her personality, she’s always herself and never puts on a front for the cameras, She’s “real” if you know what I mean. Soon you’ll be just as blown away and envious as I am of Claire’s ability to create magic with a lens. Plus she always responds to me on Twitter, which I think says a lot about a YouTuber! Go watch her and you’ll instantly see why I love her so much.

JacksGap

JacksGap are very big fish in the YouTube sea. They have millions of subscribers, and rightfully so, because they have such a high standard for their videos. I wouldn’t even call them YouTubers, they’re more filmmakers in my opinion, like everyone on this list. They have so much different kinds of videos on their channel, from their “Following Heart” series to their “Shed Sessions,” shedding light on some amazing musicians from their backyard. The best way that I can describe Jack and Finn’s creations, are that they’re poetry in the form of video. My favourite video they have ever done is “A Film For Ella,” where Jack spontaneously travels to Australia to surprise his girlfriend for her birthday. To me, that video is like a modern-day fairytale. I’d be surprised if you haven’t already heard of the incredible Jack and Finn, but definitely check their channel out if you haven’t already! 

That concludes my list of my favourite YouTube content creators, I hope you got a few ideas of new channels to watch! If you think I have missed anyone, please comment who you love below in the comments section, because I’m always on the lookout for new creative and quality YouTubers. Thanks for reading and I’ll be back very soon with a new post! Until then, you can catch up with me on Twitter and Instagram, and of course I’d love the YouTubers mentioned to see how much I love them, so if you want, I’d really appreciate it if you linked this post to them. And as always, I’d love it if you followed me on Bloglovin, my link is below! 

Thanks so much for reading, and I’ll be back with a post very soon! - Clio.

A Very Monochrome Summer Haul.

About a week ago my sister and I ventured off to the Dublin, which is basically Emerald City for anyone who loves to shop. Unlike the rest of our family, we absolutely love shopping, and we couldn’t wait to designate a whole day to our one true passion, and that’s exactly what my sister and me did. We left on the bus early in the morning, and returned back on the train late in the evening, weighed down by shopping bags containing my new summer wardrobe, and a very monochrome one at that. 

The first shop we went to was Pull & Bear, I didn’t even know there was a Pull & Bear in Dublin so that was a great start to the day. What was even better was the summer sales that were still going strong. I bought two things in there, the first is a really tiny black crop top, something I would never usually buy, but I was feeling a bit wild that morning. It looks like I got it from the baby section in Mothercare, but I assure you that it looks really cool and really flatters my shape. I can imagine wearing this with a pair of high-waisted denim shorts and a flannel over it on one of those days where Ireland decides that it wants to be the south of France instead of it’s normal grey-skied self. I am hoping we get a lot of those days this summer, but so far, Ireland has been embracing it’s usual drizzle and gusty winds. Typical. Anyways, the crop top was on sale for only €4, which I thought was incredible for a shop like Pull & Bear. 

The next thing I bought was another sale item, it’s this white sleeveless cotton teeshirt with lace detailing at the back. It’s quite simple, and because I haven’t really found my personal style yet, I really want to build up my wardrobe with lots of staple basics, so that I have a good foundation, and after a while I can build it up and experiment by buying different statement pieces. So most of the things that I bought are just basic staples, which aren’t very adventurous and that’s why. This top was only €5.99, on sale from 10 euros, it’s beautiful and great quality. I’ll try and do a summer LookBook/Outfits Of The Week when the grey skies lift, and I’ll include lots of the clothes that I mention in this post, so if you want to get a better idea of what these clothes look like on, check back soon. 

The next shop we wandered into was H&M, and I bought one thing there, that I’ve already worn three times since I’ve gotten it because I love it so much. It’s this black and white striped top, with 1/2 length sleeves and a round wide neckline. It’s really fitted, and it’s such a beautiful shape that really flatters my frame. I think that it looks very ballet-esque, and I’ll probably wear it a lot in dance class come September.  If I remember correctly, I think it was around 7 euros, but don’t quote me on that, because inside this brain of mine is the memory and attention-span of a goldfish. 

After H&M, me and my sister made our way to the far off land of Jervis St. Shopping Centre, the place where dreams are made of. Inside this magical and mythical place are many of my absolute favourite shops, one being Forever 21. Forever 21 is probably the place that I bought the most things, I think that when you enter, they spray this invisible magic dust that makes you fall in love with every single piece of clothing in the entire shop.  I made my favourite purchase of the whole day in Forever 21, and I’m actually wearing it right now as I write this blogpost. It’s a dark green and blue tartan shirt-dress that was €21, it looks so effortless, and I have a vision in my mind of wearing it on a sunny day, with the sleeves rolled up, black strappy sandals (which I will ramble on about momentarily), big black sunglasses and my hair in a topknot bun. I am determined that I will fulfill this look, I’m pretty sure this shirt-dress will also be my birthday attire. I think it’s my favourite piece of clothing that I own!

The next thing I picked up was the most amazing vibrant electric blue bikini top for €16. I rarely find any bikinis that suit my shape, because I’m quite small and slight, but this one has filled my bikini-shaped void. It is so fitted and I feel like I could jump of the highest rocks, piers and diving boards with my modesty still intact. I cannot wait to wear this when the sky’s a little bluer, and the water’s feels a little less like someone is piercing your feet with a thousand tiny needles...unfortunately I just realized that I forgot to photograph it, so I'll post it on Instagram later on if you want to see it! My link is below/@cliohartnett. 

While I was on my Forever 21 rampage, I also picked up this black and white striped dress. I’m not the biggest dress-wearer, which is something I’d like to change because whenever I see someone wearing a casual summer dress, I think they look amazing. I think the reason I’ve become an anti-dress person, is because they remind me too much of when I was little, when I wore bright floral dresses, over a pair of jeans, and a clashing cardigan. This summer, I am going to make an effort to erase those images from my head, and get over my summer dress phobia once and for all! Anyways, this dress was on sale for 6 euros, and I bought it a little larger than I usually would because I’m all about that oversized look. So excited to wear this!

Right beside Forever 21, is possibly the biggest New Look to ever exist. I’d compare it the a vast jungle, where all you can see for miles and miles are never-ending rows of clothing racks. It’s a struggle to find the exit, I personally think they should design a map of that shop, because I’ve gotten lost in there too many times. It’s definitely worth the disorientation and confusion if you manage to find the shoe section though, it’s heaven in the form of footwear. I’d say I spent half an hour in the shoe section, and it was the best half hour of my life! I picked up this pair of black strappy sandals which I absolutely love. They were quite pricey at €30, but I know I’ll wear them so much that they will become tattered and will completely fall apart, so that was a good enough excuse to buy them. 

Bershka, Bershka, Bershka. What a great shop. It’s been my lifelong dream to just hide in Bershka, get locked in at the end of the day, spent the night in there trying on all there clothes, and in the morning the shop owner would feel so bad that they would let me take anything I wanted for free. I think about this all the time. Weird? Probably. Anyways, by now my sister was complaining that she was hungry and had sore feet, because she doesn’t have the shopping determination and resilience that I take so much pride in. So I scanned the shop very quickly, and managed to discover a pair of black jeans with rips at the knees. I’d been looking for a pair of jeans in this style for so long, so I quickly went to the changing rooms and tried them on. I’d say they are the best-fitting jeans I’ve ever bought, and they weren’t crazily expensive either, around €24.99 I think. These jeans were so close to being my favourite purchase, they were just pipped to the post by the Forever 21 shirt-dress. Nevertheless, they get a special merit for being so fabulous. 

The last shop I went into was good old Penneys, or Primark for you British readers. Oh Penneys, such a chaotic mess, it has to be said. I didn’t see anything that I liked, but I’m sure there were a few hidden gems in there if one searched hard enough. But there was one specific thing that I went in there to buy, and that was a pair of €3 white canvas shoes. Anyone who know me knows I like to vandalize everything I own with paint. Just look at my bedroom walls and you’ll see. Anyway, shoes are no exception, I love painting my shoes, I actually have an old blogpost all about a pair of shoes that I unleashed my creativity on, and actually wear those shoes all the time, so I thought I’d buy another blank pair and go wild. The good thing is that the material is actually canvas, so it’s perfect to paint on. I’m sure there will be a blogpost up very soon with my latest shoe-painting creations. 

I think that concludes my list of summer purchases this year, although I wouldn’t be surprised if a few more things made it into my summer wardrobe because I have become a serial shopping addict! Thank you for reading, if you bought anything you love, please share in the comments section. Or just comment a friendly “hello.” I check my comments all the time and reply to every single one of them, because comments give me life! I’d also love it if you followed me on Bloglovin’, I am always so happy when I see a rare new follower. (Nearly at 30 followers now, giving Zoella a run for her money!) As always my Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest are linked below. 

Thanks for reading, hopefully you’ll visit Sunny Like July again soon! - Love from Clio.

I'm in Love with Cities I've Never Been To.

If there was one quote that I think would describe me well, it would be that one that everyone thought was in Paper Towns, but actually wasn't, and it goes something like "I'm in love with places I've never been to, and people I've never met." I think a lot about the future, it's something that I'm trying not to do so much, I'm trying to take every day as it comes, but I cannot wait to go traveling, exploring, and adventuring around the world. I'd say I think about my (hopeful) future travels every day. I say "hopeful," because there is a possibility that somehow I may not be able to fulfill this huge dream of mine, because maybe I won't have the money, or I'll be tied down to a job, and that is my worst nightmare. But I don't think that will happen if I'm honest.

Even though I'm only fifteen, I'm already saving up to go traveling, That's how eager I am! One of the reasons I started blogging, other than just loving having a place where I can write, take pictures, and just be creative, is to build up an audience, so than one day, if I want, I could become a travel blogger/vlogger and make a bit of money from documenting it, so I could travel even more! I just love visiting new places, where everything isn't of the norm to me, and I like to see different beautiful things, and, from my experience, every place I've travelled to has been even better than I thought it was going to be, and I have very high expectations! So I thought I'd dedicate a blogpost to my longing to travel, all some of the places that I want to travel to, and I thought I'd also show you my "travel journal," that I made. Hope you enjoy! 

1. London

Perhaps my favourite place that I've ever been to. Last year I went on a day trip to London, and it was one of the best days of my life! There is just so much to see and do in that wonderful city, and it's so busy and lively, and it just makes me feel very excited. I know when I'm older, I definitely want to live in a big city, and my plan is to move into a flat just outside London, because I think it's a very inspiring place. Plus, Hannah Maggs vlogs make me want to move to London so bad. Also, just thinking about Oxford Street at Christmas makes me want to burst! 

2. Scandinavia

I've always been fascinated with Scandinavia, and I'd love to go on a road trip to explore all the little towns and places in Sweden and Norway. I think Scandinavia is a really beautiful place, especially the amazing scenery, mountains, cliffs, waterfalls and glaciers, and I really want to see all those things with my own eyes. Some particular places I want to go to are: the Blue Lagoon hotsprings in Iceland, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. There's something about the Scandinavian culture, architecture, and and attitude that I really like. And their street-style is amazing too!

3. Greek Islands

If heaven was a place on Earth, I'm pretty sure this is what it would look like. I think that the islands of Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu, Kastelorizo, and the rest of them just look idyllic. The white houses look pristine, and the sea looks like blue-tinted glass, and is so clear you can see the shadow of your boat on the ocean floor. The sky would be cloudless and I can see myself being very happy wandering around the picturesque little villages and in a sun hat, and a little dress taking lots of pictures and having lunch in small little cafés. (As you can probably tell, I think about Santorini way too much.)

4. Prague, Czech Republic

The architecture in Prague is absolutely beautiful, and Prague looks like such a beautiful city. Definitely in my top ten places that I want to visit. Other European places that I really want to go to are Austria, Croatia, Budapest (Budapest is another big one for me) Germany and Belgium. When I go traveling I really want to go on an inter-railing trip to these European countries. And I'm a little bit excited because there is a small possibility that I might be going to Belgium next year! 

5. New York

I'm definitely a city person, and New York is the biggest city in the world. It also never sleeps apparently, which is good because neither do I if I'm honest. It looks like such an interesting, creative place, full of opportunities, and I can definitely see myself as a New Yorker in the future. Plus, Casey Neistat makes New York look amazing. And how could I forget about how Gossip Girl makes me want to drop everything and move to a townhouse in Manhattan! I also want to explore America, and one place that I am probably going to be going to next Easter is Austin, in Texas. Austin is a place that I really want to visit, and it will be my first time going on a trip without my parents, which is very exciting as well. I'm also obsessed with San Francisco, and I would love to visit that city too.

6. New Zealand

New Zealand looks breath-taking. It looks like a place with the most amazing landscapes, with really tall cliffs, and lots of coastlines. It also has some amazing cities like Auckland and Queenstown that I really want to go to. I also want to go to Australia and visit some of the cities there, because the Australian and Kiwi cities are some of the best in the world. I want to go to Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Tasmania, and of course I want to go to Bondi. 

7. As amazing as it is the visit all these places, I don't think I would be content with myself if I didn't go to some of the poorer countries in the world to see what conditions many people have to live in. For myself, I think seeing it first-hand would really put into perspective now lucky I am. I really want to spend at least one summer of my life volunteering in an African or Asian country where poverty is a big issue. 

8. Amsterdam
From what I've gathered, Amsterdam is my kind of city. It seems like a cool artsy place, and I just love the buildings there. (I don't know if you can tell, but I'm kind obsessed with infrastructure.) I'd love to take a boat down the canals, prance around like a unicorn in a field of tulips, and cycle around the city and explore.

9. Paris
How could I not include Paris is this list? There is something very classy and sophisticated about that place, and I feel like I would instantly fall in love with it. Thinking of visiting Paris really motivates me to study my French in school too, which is always a good thing! I just love everything about Paris, from the Champs-Élysées to the renowned Boulangerie's, the museums and galleries like the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay, and of course the stunning Paris Opera House. If I ever did visit Paris (which I am determined that I will) I would go full-out Blair Waldorf, and splurge in Louis Vuitton and Jimmy Choo, and eat like a queen. I also think the street-style in Paris is amazing, and so put together. What a wonderful city!

10. Ireland
Even though I live in Ireland, I haven't seen half as much of it as I would like to and I really want to visit more places here. I love Dublin, I go up there quite frequently, it's a great city. I also love Cork, I think I know my way around Cork more than I know my way around my own city! One of my favourite places is Dingle, it's surrounded by beautiful scenery, and is home to the best ice-cream I have ever tasted (Murphy's Ice-cream.) I really want to visit The Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland, which is a forest that looks like it came from Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings. On the top of my Irish bucket list is Belfast, I've never been before, and it looks very impressive.

If you made it all the way down to the end of this blogpost I commend you. I think this is the longest blogpost I've ever written. There are so many more destinations that I should mention, but it's 12:30 at night as I write this, and I don't really want this blogpost to turn into a novel, so I'll leave you now! Please do leave a comment down below telling me where you have traveled/want to travel to. Thanks for reading and I'll be back in two days with a new post!

-Love from Clio.
