Hey, Targets!
England. Big, Loud, Beautiful.
New Zealand. Small, Quieter, Beautiful.
Today I am doing a collab with my online friend Anael from Anael's Fabulous Blog! We were talking and she came up with this idea to do a collaboration called 'The Best of Both Worlds' Meaning England - Where she's from, and New Zealand - Where I'm from. So while I'm doing a post about the beauty of NZ she will be writing about the wonders of England.
