I visited Turkey, Marmaris, earlier on this year. And in all honesty, it enraptured me deeply. The culture is a beauty, authentic to the soil, and within the resort I was accommodated in was full of quality with a complimentary view that left me completely breathless, and as stubborn as I am, I must admit; no amount of pictures I took could ever capture the delicacy. I felt like a maniac snapping pictures of everything, as well as seizing as many souvenirs, to my maximum capacity, like a squirrel hoarding nuts.

Although the entire trip consisted of the typical Turkish tourist activities, it was honestly the landscape that struck me in awe, in realisation, that the earth is an opus. And in spite of the fact that I had an adequate Wi-Fi signal, the scenery was my biggest distraction. The slender palm trees preciously providing shade, while I waltzed through the busy streets, window shopping and buying little trinkets, as the sun set in twilight. At this point, the humidity was minimal and the breeze was refreshingly cool.
The sunset colours were unlike any other, with bursts and blends of colours you wouldn't imagine to fit the scene, with deep purples and mysterious warm browns, which were all surprisingly in harmony with each other. This was the perfect inspiration for a sunset make up look. (moon emoji)

One of the few highlights of the trip, included being hypnotized by the exotic belly dancers moving with the rhythm of traditional Turkish and Arabic tracks. It was like a movie scene, all the dancers hit every beat so sharply, in unison and perfection, each movement had the entire audience mesmerized awaiting their next. The entire dance was crafted to excellence, I could hands-down say;it was amazing. The perfect combination of fiesty, graceful and precision. Although, I must confess, this may be slightly biased considering that I completely idolise belly dancing😁
