Interesting Vacation Spots

We’re kicking off Summer with a brand new theme! We’ve found a few very beachy and Summery eye shadow/highlighter palettes sure to be popular this Summer and we’re doing posts inspired by the names of these shades. We’ve picked a Tarte, Rainforest of the Sea called High Tides and Good Vibes as well as two by Fenty Beauty by Rihanna.

Our very first one is fitting to kick off Summer and the name of that one we chose is “7 Day Wknd” (a metallic orchid colour) which might inspire your Summer holiday plans. We thought it be cool to start off the Summer with some vacations destinations that might get overlooked when you think about top holiday spots to visit. We found some super beautiful places to travel that don’t necessarily get as much attention like France, England, Hawaii, etc. Enjoy and be inspired to travel!

Samoa

Samoa consists of ten islands and is located in the Central South Pacific Ocean. It’s super lush, serene, and green with lots of waterfalls, volcanoes, rainforest, swimming holes, beaches, and waterfalls. If you love the outdoors, the warm sun, and adventures this is the place for you. It seems to be a place to go if you are less into resorts and more into island exploring and enjoying the beach and swimming.

Some top spots to check out are...
