A Day in the Life of Miss Deane
Finally get to sleep around 5am.
8am off goes my alarm - 30mins to get out of the house.
Jump out of bed, literally head first into the shower, luckily manage to grab some toast for the journey..
Spend the next 3 hours being pampered as a model for my sister's final Beauty Therapy exam. (It's harder than its sounds)
1.30pm - Running late, rush home to get ready for a dance exam.
By the time I eat some dinner ( 1 chicken burger and half a bun) I manage a short rest before hitting the shower AGAIN and getting ready for work!
I seem to spend most of my rushing from A-B with crazy amounts of sleep..
Who ever said that life on the Costa del Sol is more relaxed?

The truth about us Marbella Belles
Most of us living in the idylic 'Sunny Spain' are faced with a constant conflict of countries, not to mention the struggle to find work and real friendhips. It can be hard to keep up with the fast pace and a constant change over of faces, not everyone succeeds.
Sometimes I wonder whether I should return to the UK to study, the problem is, the grass will always look greener. Maybe the answer is you don't know until you try, but how do you sacrifice this lifestyle? And it is possible to settle back into your old ways..
She's Back..
Apologies for the delay...

A Piece of Advice
A friend of mine recently went on a fairly spontaneous adventure, instead of spending another weekend in Puerto Banus, taking a trip to the Cadiz carnival sounded like a fun day out. It all sounded great, even the three hour bus journey. Since the carnival has a reputation for being the liveliest one in Spain - dating back to the 16th century - why not?
It was bound to be very busy so they left at around 8 o clock in the morning, surprisingly the bus journey wasn't actually as fun as anticipated. Nevertheless, it would be well worth the wait.
Just as they thought the display was fantastic, but it was the sleeping arrangements that spoilt
it. Waking up on the beach cold and soaking wet came as a nasty surprise, that is from the little sleep they managed to get.
The day was extremely exhausting and after drinking from early afternoon they were all dead on their feet by night. Setting off on an escapade didn't exactly live up to it's expectations.
If you are planning to venture out of Puerto Banus, make sure you have adequate 'travel arrangements'
I would suggest driving and booking a hotel/hostel as this means no relying on bus timetables!

Go with the flow
It's amazing that you can go to the same bar every week and still enjoy yourself, let alone meet new people. It's even more remarkable when you encounter new & interesting people in that same bar, and enjoy a stimulating conversation!
To our surprise, that is exactly what happened. A night of fun, full of worthy discussions and, sheep noises...

To avoid or not to avoid?
It's amazing how many of us go out, get drunk and spend most of the next day in bed, it doesn't make sense, we all move to Spain to get away from the cold weather and yet we spend most our time taking our surroundings for granted.
So, with this in mind, we thought we would pass by Puerto Banus after La Canada, just for one. ..
