I love my job. Between presenting, modelling, having a blog, YouTube channel, and a fast growing jewellery company I never get bored or stuck in a routine. When Malibu got in touch to ask me if I'd like to go to Ibiza to literally have 'The Best Summer Ever' (that's the name of the summer campaign), it made me appreciate my job even more. I was elated! I'd never been to Ibiza, plus it had just started to get cold and wet in London. On top of that I got to bring a friend out with me, AND my friend AJ Odudu was going to be out there as she'd been all over the world with Ibiza for the 5 weeks prior.
So I arrived at London City Airport with my friend and business partner (we co-founded Whistle & Bango together with another friend Rosie), ready to embark on an exciting 5 days of sunshine.

We checked in and had an hour and a half before needed to board so we decided to get some lunch. I don't know if you've ever been to City Aiport, but there is one restaurant and it's expensive. We paid about £20 for a posh-sized meal (why are fancy meal portions always so small), and decided we may as well treat ourselves to a glass of prosecco too. In fairness my meal was delicious, I had a roast salmon with a singular piece of pasta. LOL. Presentation and taste 10, portion size 0.

We slept the whole flight, then got picked up and taken back to the hotel where we had 40 minutes to change before having to head out to meet the others and go watch Clean Bandit at Ibiza Rocks. I put on my new head piece, which I absolutely love! I've always wanted a head piece. If you want to find out about my outfit you can check out this link here.
It was so nice to be reunited with AJ, and the rest of the group were really nice too - I'll introduce you properly to them later, although it's probably worth mentioning Laura Steel now as she's in lots of my pictures. Laura is a singer, originally from Sheffield but now lives in London. She's got wild hair and a matching wild personality and is an absolute babe.

At Ibiza Rocks we were given our own room that overlooked the stage and we could have some drinks there, Malibu ones, obviously. Ella Eyre was performing, which was really cool, then we got to head backstage to meet Clean Bandit before their performance. If you follow me on YouTube you'll know their song 'Rather Be' made a cheeky appearance in one of my monthly favourites for being my favourite song of summer, so it was really cool to get to meet them. Their performance was incredible - I don't know if you guys have seen them, but they got the whole crowd going, which must be quite tough when they only have one such well known song.

After the gig we headed to what would become one of my favourite places ever, Pikes at Ibiza Rocks House. It's an incredible hotel, and at night time there's the most incredibly random club. It's set out a bit like a house - there's karaoke in a bathroom, and fancy dress clothes in a boudoir. It's fantastical, and we had an amazing time. We danced, feasted on a cheese and meat platter, before I dragged Ania away from the karaoke machine and we headed home!
