A WEEK IN MALTA VLOG | 🌺🥥🌊 Gozo Pool Days, Markets & Teppanyaki!
Good morning, or should I say good middle of the night. It’s 3:00 a.m. The world and his wife are asleep, but we’re already in a taxi, running away from our everyday life. But when Goza is what’s on the end of this travel day, the wakeup call is worth it. We made it to Gatwick with our bags. Check-in was quick as we had our airport dad with us, trademark. While we wait to pick up our spirits in duty-free, here is my mom’s fit check. This is This is the fit for the vlog. No crumbs were left. Eight. Serving duty free was not as easy as check-in as my family had me then. But I finally treated myself to a perfume that I’d wanted for a while and I’m happy to report that is now a signature scent of mine. My mom and my brother both got a scent as well which was nice. So I didn’t feel so alone in my what I can only describe as a duty-free impulse purchase. I don’t think I went in looking for perfume. Finally, we made it to the airport lounge. We went into the lounge and started our vacation with a touch of bubbly because nothing to me goes better with sleep deprivation and light airport stress than caffeine and alcohol.

Okay, let’s go to Malta. [Music] I’ve got to say one of my favorite feelings is getting off a flight and stepping out into the almost the tarmac of a hot country. Um, coming from the UK and it’s just warm and sunny and it feels different. really puts you in the right holiday vibe and it’s just one of those things that like makes a holiday extra for me. [Music] To ensure we were as far away from our everyday lives as possible, we had to hop on a ferry to get to our destination off of the mainland of Malta to Go. We’ve actually been to Malta 18 years ago. However, despite the fact that I contain the soul of several millennial dorks, I’m only 20, so I have no recollection of that. This was all new and very exciting for me. Going to an island also wasn’t just for the heat and the sea views. It was to give me the strongest chance of work emails never finding me. I hope this email finds you well. No, this email doesn’t find me at all because I’m running away from my problems on an island. The Kapinsky Go absolutely facilitated this escape. It was such an amazing hotel and the staff were nothing short of amazing. So, I will let you guys enjoy the rest of my trip with me. Hi. I look very disheveled because we’ve been on a plane, but I’m going to shower and get slay. Get sleigh for the holiday. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Hi everyone. You can probably hear the echo of my dad and my brother talking in the background, but to be honest, I don’t want to make him shut up, so I can do this. But um we’re about to go a walk of the property, see what is around. We’ve checked into our room. Really, really happy. We’ve got balcony. Everything’s so lovely. It’s really nice. This hotel is crazy, guys. There is a petissery in the hotel. What hotel has a petissery just like in the lobby? That’s crazy. Um, so yeah, looking forward to like hanging out and stuff. Quite knackered cuz we’ve been up since 2:00 in the morning and our flight was delayed. So, but we kind of The thing is it’s now like 4:5ish, so we have to keep pushing if we want to be awake to eat dinner till later. Um, so yeah, it’s just kind of figuring out what we’re going to do, even if it’s just like going for a walk around and then lazing about. So, come with us to figure out what the heck we’re going to do today. [Music] Look, there’s this big glowy thing in the distance. It’s very cool. I like it. It’s It’s amused to me. I don’t know what it is. This is the other part of our view. It’s this like outdoory gorgeous thing. And I know I’ve already shown you guys the view, but this is it in the darkness. Sorry, I sound really weird. I’m going to probably edit over this. My brother is hearing me and he probably thinks I sound like an idiot. [Music] Anyway, other than that, I am feeling so well rested and it is only the first day. I had a shower. I feel clean. I didn’t realize how good it feels to have a shower and get clean and then wear a hotel robe. Look at me in the hotel robe. I feel so bougie and cute and fun and I just like feel great. We were sat on the balcony after having dinner. That was a delicious dinner. That was so good. And I’m going to do a little get ready with me while I chat to you guys about this holiday. I was feeling a bit nervous earlier in the week because I have never had a holiday recently where I have not attempted to take charge. And is that a good thing? No, not at all. Also, there’s like a mirror here which is so fun on top of the big mirror. We’re just going to wipe it though cuz I can’t see out of bed. But um we’re using toner. Look, I even have my travel minis. your girl’s living a life and it’s only day one, but we’re just getting started. Started from the bottom out here. I don’t actually think that’s what that phrase is meant to be used for. Um, I haven’t had a holiday where I’ve not tried to like plan something or take over or even if I’m not like in charge, be aware almost to the fullest what is going on for my own sake. If you don’t know, I am neur. So, that is just kind of something that comes with the territory. For once, this whole day has no planning to do. My parents have been to this hotel before. My parents are completely charged. I didn’t have to be involved because um I was on like I was partaking in university when they planned it all. And I, you know, I trust them. So, for once in my life, I’m actually not going cuckoo crazy. And I’m letting my parents be in charge. Um another travel mini. It’s vitamin C. I switched around I think there’s a vlog where I talk about it, but I switched around my normal routine, which is a vitamin C toner. and then a um nyamide. I nyomide toner and a vitamin C serum just cuz it’s worth it. But I’m in a robe now. Sorry, I’m just really the fact I’m in a robe. I had to take my mom’s like, “Are we allowed to use these?” Cuz we have separate rooms to my mom. Um just cuz space the hotel didn’t do like massive rooms, but I’ve not had a holiday where I’ve not tried to take over or like not take over. That makes it sound like I’m a control freak. I’m a control freak on my like what I know. So, I’ve not had a holiday where I’ve not been either in charge or like highly needing to be aware of what’s going on until today. Essentially, literally tomorrow there are no expectations. The expectation is go to the pool. Wrong thing. The expectation tomorrow is go to the pool. Um, take it easy. Go to breakfast at like half 10. Um, bear in mind I’ I’d like to explain and I think you saw in this vlog. We were up at 2:00 in the morning. So, I normally wouldn’t be like breakfast at half 10. Actually, no, I would. That’s a complete lie. I’m such a late riser. I’m an early riser and a late riser. I’m an early riser when I need to be and I can go at it without complaining. But if I can get a good amount of sleep, I will always sleep. I’m like two ends of the spectrum. I’m not like a decent wake up time kind of girly. I’m a 5:55 a.m. get my day started right for work or I’m on holiday leaving alone until 10:30. Um so yeah, lot of moisturizer cuz we were out in the sun and I did SPF before going out earlier. I I keep calling you girlies. I know it’s not exclusive to you girls that watch these vlogs. Well, girlies in the spirit. Girlies is a state of mind. But yeah, so I’m having a good time. I feel like I’ve been really rambly during this because I honestly don’t know what I’m doing. It feels really weird to be like bathroom. I feel really clean. It’s nice. I’m sharing the room with my brother. So, I’m actually going to attempt to keep it kind of half clean. My brother is actually very good with his skin care. So, I don’t want to like put myself to shame. Bear in mind I am like skincare loving gully a skin fluenced. I’ve been skin fluenced by the market. So I think I’m worse at skincare than he is. But this is the vibe that felt like a really used to segment that I’m probably going to have to cut half of out because I like didn’t really talk about much. But overall summary bathrobe at peace happy. So I’m so shiny all ready for bed. All shiny hair’s done. Join me for tomorrow morning. [Music] We ate and I completely forgot to film any of the things we ate. I really just had a bowl of chips. We have been doing not much other than staying by the pool. So, these clips are going to be very bare for a little bit. But, you know what? I’m having a good time. I don’t feel the pressure to film. Going to get back in the pool in a minute. So, it is about to go 6:00ish. We’ve got dinner at 8:00. So, I’m having a relax in the um robe again. She’s in the robe again. I’ve done my skin care. I did get quite burnt today. Not quite burnt. It doesn’t hurt. Um but it’s like I’m rosy. So, I’ve aloe veraed that. And on top of that, I’ve also put some moisturizer on. So, she’s moisturized. Probably going to start getting ready about 7ish maybe. So, I’ve got an hour to do what I want. Uh and yeah, we’ll be going down for dinner. This makes you feel better. [Music] [Music] [Music] What did you like? What ice cream did you get, Mom? Vanilla. Dad, what ice cream did you get? Okay, guys, we have a bit of a thing. I don’t struggle to um avoid burns. Like I get burnt sometimes when I’m out in the sun, but never super super badly. I have severely burnt. Like I’m literally crispy as anything. Um and I and it’s sore. It is sore. So we’re going out to the craft village kind of shop thing to just have a mooch. This is what I’m going as cuz I have no long sleeve tops. We think the culprit is this sun lotion. If you are even slightly fair skinned and you’re like, I do I can burn, please avoid it. I’m so sorry, guys. Like, I’m just I’m not going to ste you wrong. That Yeah, I think that has literally baked me like a turkey in goose fat. So, this is how I have to attend shops with the sun hat on this drenched in after sun. Um, even like you know up to the to the neck in clothing. That’s where we’re at. Still kind of a cute fit though. [Music] One of my favorite things about this restaurant in the hotel in particular is they did signature cocktails, but you matched the cocktail that was perfect for you on this flavor taste chart. You kind of picked what works best for you in a cocktail and it aligned you with the perfect one. And these were the ones that my family ended up picking. And I’ve got to say, they really did like suit what we prefer. And the food in this restaurant was brilliant. [Music] Hey. [Music] We are going to dinner at one of the fancier restaurants tonight. So, we are all dressed up. This is what I’ve gone for. I’ve gone for my rose dress, which I keep calling the lemon dress. It’s not got lemons on it. Um, hair’s down. I decided not to dry it so that it would kind of sit nice for a while. Jewelry, gold hoops, citroen citron. That is a car citrine bracelet and some bangles from the flea market that my friend got me. And we’ve done our makeup and I feel really pretty. So, steak time. Time to have a steak. I’m excited. But I also feel very gorgeous. I’ll see if I can get my mom to take some pictures of me in this in the lobby or something cuz this fish is just serving [Music] grapes. We have grapes. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] Yeah. Thank you. [Music] They gave me a pineapple with my pineapples smoothie today. Is it? Yeah. It’s I’ve not had one yet before. It’s the most Instagrammable I’ve had. Have you done a photograph of it? I have done a photo. Phone eats first. Every day. I’m going to look at all your Instagrams. You I have to go through it. It is the last night at the hotel and we are off to a Japanese restaurant. It is the one at the bottom of the pool. Actually, not in the pool. That sounds like we’re swimming to the bottom of the pool to eat. No, that’s not the case. It’s It’s like a little um pagola kind of um terrace style. Not terrace, ground terrace. Uh you will get what I mean when I show you videos, but it is outside. It’s going to be lovely. Alfresco dining. This is the outfit. I bought this at the market today. This is the dress. I think I look very pretty if I don’t, you know, if I do say so myself. But yeah, this is this is what we’re off to go and do. So, last day of the holiday. I’m so upset that we’re leaving, but I’m also excited for all the memories I’m bringing back with me and souvenirs obviously from the fact I bought a dress today. Uh, and I’m glad that me leaving now means I get to share this vlog with you. So, yes, it’s been a wonderful restful few days. So, let’s go and finish it off with a lovely dinner. [Music] We go to the reception. [Music] My food is [Music] one Oh, [Music] hey. [Music] So there we go. One more. One more. Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] [Music] We are all packed and ready to go. It is time to say goodbye to the hotel room. Fortunately, first we do get a couple more hours in the pool because we jet off at half 3. We leave here at half 3. So, we still have a couple hours in the pool which is going to be fun. [Music] Our smoothie of the holiday. [Music] Heat. [Music] Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] Hey. [Music] Hey. Hey. [Music]
