Haul | Back to School September 2013

Image
Summer is nearly over and in just over a weeks time people will be going back to school. Today I went out and bought my back to school stationary because I am going into my first year of Sixth Form in September. I was film this video with a voice over but I am losing my voice and have got a really bad sore throat and getting a cold and that was the last thing I want my readers to hear so instead it is the good 'ole traditional photo way. 

Summer | How To Stay Safe in the Sun and Treat Sunburn

Image
Hey guys I know that holiday season is pretty much over but some people are still on holiday and going to exotic destinations. I probably should have done this earlier but I didn't think of it, so it will do for people who are maybe just about to jet off somewhere or for next year. This post is about how to stay safe in the sun and how to avoid sunburn/sunstroke and how to treat it if you do get it. The sun is brutal sometimes. I'm in Sri Lanka and its the low season but it is still 30 degrees so god knows what its like in high season!! My first day here consited of me getting burnt and looking like a lobster even though I had applied suncream numerous times during the day. That is the first thing you need to do. It is recommended that you put on the suncream with a high enough factor before you get dressed, so that way you don't miss any areas.

Sunset Photography

Hey guys Right now I am on my balcony in the hotel in Sri Lanka and of you follow my twitter you would have already seen some sunset photos. Where I am, Sri Lanka has beautiful sunsets and I use my phone to photograph them because I am a beginner photographer. These are some of my favourite sunset photos from Sri Lanka. I love photography and decided to add it to SparkleEyes because I did the photography at my Uncle's wedding and both the Bride and Groom, and most of the guests, said how good they were and that I should start a portfolio. That is what I will do. These photos and some other photography will be printed and put into an album so I can show people what I've done. Stay tuned for more photography posts Bye guys!!

Sri Lanka Airlines Review

Hey guys For me, its holiday time again! Earlier today I arrived in Sri Lanka and after a 4 hour car journey to the hotel I am pretty knackered... Right now I am sitting in the bar with a Sprite (how dare they not have coke?!) and waiting to go for dinner. So glad the hotel has free wi-fi!!! Anyway this time last year I got back from Bali and did a review of Thai Airlines and today I decided to review Sri Lankan airlines.  We have never flown with Sri Lankan airlines before because we haven't been here before. My first thought of the actual plane was that it was old. It wasn't rickety or anything, except for turbulence which there was a lot of! The seats were quite uncomfortable and felt old...? And the remotes for the TV were the old kind. Basically, it is not the most modern airline. Thai was a lot nicer last year.  Checking the in-flight entertainment on the website, it only listed March and April which obviously is delayed... The films were not latest releases, they were ma
