10 THINGS TO DO IN THE GAMBIA

As first time visitors to The Gambia last month we were spoilt for choice on how to spend our 7 days there.  There are so many things to do here and I'm surprised at how much of it we managed to cram in, between the few days we spent lazing around the pool!  Here are 10 things that we recommend for any other first-timers to the area.

MY TOP FACIAL DUO FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN

 

Ahh, long time no blog!  I've not been in much of a blogging mood since December.  I think I may have burned myself out attempting to post every day during Blogmas.  I've barely blogged, or even read any of my favourite blogs, for months now; obviously I needed a bit of a break!  Now I'm back and the blog has a new look... what do you think?  Anyway, I've really missed talking about beauty products here so lets just move on to today's post already!

The skin on my face has always been on the dry side, well actually just my skin in general, so I'm always on the hunt for products that will give me a big boost of hydration.  A good few years ago a friend of mine recommended the Vitamin E range at The Body Shop so I duly popped down to my local store and picked up a tub of moisturising cream.  It was my first true skincare love.

EXPERIENCING A GAMBIAN NAMING CEREMONY

When we booked a week long holiday to The Gambia in January to celebrate my 30th birthday I was pretty sure of how I would be spending most of the long sunny days.  I can tell you that in my mind the days started of with a little bit of a lie in before hitting the breakfast buffet, followed by several hours of lying on a lounger sunbathing by the pool and topped of with a delicious meal and a couple of cocktails.  Sounds like bliss!  Well a few days went exactly as I have just described but soon after arriving in The Gambia we discovered that there are much more exciting things to see and do!
