Hi. I’m Isabella. On this channel, I share what I’ve learned about Haircare, Beauty, Lifestyle, and Life itself. I am most well known for my Hair Journey series, where I share new methods and research about haircare, using my own hair as a subject to experiment with. I hope my experiments and findings can help others in finding whatever it is they are searching for.

bed we look at the ceiling Louis is just
outside having a cheeky cigarello I’m
done

and then there’s another balcony so we
are knackered and super hungry we are
going to just sort of chill and then go
find something to eat cuz we are
starving this is the outfit I wore on
any days that we were traveling I’ve got
my ripped 501 Levi jeans my favorite
Bratz top super casual and comfy we’ve
got our first traditional Italian meal

going to shut up and eat this
[Music]

LA’s face I don’t know how I feel about
it it’s not good in it

didn’t sleep for that long Us in bed for
qu to 8 hour time I had a really bad
headache okay so I’ve taken my braids
out today so I can have cute little
mermaid waves I’m just going to defres
them a little bit by using my hair
oil I’m going to put on my sun cream for
the day my facial one I just bought this
one it’s actually pretty good it was on
sale and I’m going to use my body one as
well I also bought this one just to
touch up throughout the day because I’ll
be wearing makeup and this is a powder
so you just dab it on and then I’m going
to do my makeup and we’re going to head
down for breakfast
[Music]
okay the first official day this is my
outfit I’ve got my sparkly shorts on I’m
wearing this scarf as a top but I think
I’m going to change my top because we’re
going round markets today and I feel
like it’s going to slip down jewelry
that I always wear nothing new here my
orus watch and I’ve got this little
Vintage Pearl bracelet that I got for my
birthday cute little beaded white ones
one on my ankle I only bought one pair
of trainers I bought my Rebox platform
I’ve done my makeup light and dewy I
might not wear too many rings because
I’m worried about losing them the
sunscreen has given my skin a really
nice dewy glow this keeps falling down
[Music]
I’ve changed the outfit
[Music]
we’ve just been through the market
pretty chaotic but it was really cool
now we’ve climbed up to this gorgeous
Park that overlooks everything Louis
bought some Sunglass glasses I had to
try some tomatoes so I got some and he
gave them to me for free I was like oh
my God C Mill I’m so thankful I can’t
wash it okay I’m just going to wipe this
tomato on my
[Music]
bag so I just got an orange juice blood
orange all over town they’ve just got
these orange STS M it’s really good it
was quite expensive it was like €4 but
it’s good it’s
[Music]
good oh got ice cream find someone to
I am in my happy place
yeah we’re back from our little
Excursion exploring thought I’d show you
what I got from the market so I got this
cute little neckace the little shells
I’m obsessed with it I also got this
adorable little cardigan from the market
secondhand store it was €1 it actually
went with my outfit really well and then
people in Italy are so so nice we got
tomatoes for free and then we went into
this other shop I bought these cute
little like stocking things this guy
just gave us these Sicilian lemons for
free as well lemon I kind of understood
a little bit of what he was saying so he
said that they’re very sweet they’re
good for eating Lou is watching me doing
my little Vlog that makes a good
thumbnail actually should cut one up and
show them I
will I will I’m just doing a
thumbnail Lou didn’t buy anything he
just bought
[Music]
cigarettes we’re going to get in the spa
bath it’s going to be fun we also have
some
[Music]
wine lovely
we’ve decided to try the lemon it looks
lovely oh you eaten the whole thing it’s
it’s still going to be sour though isn’t
it Louis just ate the whole thing I’m
just going to have a little bit oh my
God it’s more sour than sweet well it’s
a lemon we are about to go out for
dinner guys have a look at what Isabella
is wearing hold on hold on I’ll take
over
[Music]
pistachio and
bacon this is Louis Louis’s outfit of
the day he’s a bit hung over
I want to have it get a bit drunk
yeah I tried to blow dry my hair today
with the tiny little blow dryer in the
bathroom it took me forever and all I
had was this brush I had a few rollers
though so I rolled my hair whilst I had
breakfast and it’s actually turned out
quite pretty not too natural makeup but
just glowy and dewy and I feel super
glamorous today I’ve also just like
teased my hair a little bit for a bit of
volume it probably won’t last though
you’re going to go out today day then
we’re going to head out for some dinner
I have just been bringing this little
she shirt with me every day just in case
the sun gets a bit too strong and I just
want to cover up a little bit not that
it does much or if I want to like go
into a church or something and I have to
cover my shoulders I recommend getting
something like this you can just like
bang it up really small and put it in
your bags this is what I’ve been taking
with me every day this is what Lou has
been taking every day cuz Louis got
drunk last night I didn’t so I feel
fresh as a daisy I actually feel really
good to don’t drink negronis Lou had an
awful Negroni it was so strong it was
absolutely disgusting now we’re just
drinking water and we’re going to go
[Music]
out who made it to the top of the Dome
the big dome this is the gorgeous view
it cost5 each to come up here but it was
actually so worth it the views were
beautiful you could see the square you
could see the seat there was such good
photo opportunities and then because we
went at 12 the Bell started going off
like crazy
[Music]
we’re in the Botanical Gardens and
they’re so
[Music]
pretty Hello darling
hi super sweet hi darling you are a
little Cy look how beautiful
you we saw a lot of Strays in Kat and
this was definitely my favorite one she
was so freaking cute and friendly I
wanted to take her home I want to take
her home I take her home she needs a
home yes then this other cat turned up
and I think it wanted to play with her
cuz it kept sneaking up on her and there
was no hissing or growling so I think
they were just playing it was cute
it’s currently like 20 10 and we’re
watching Harry Potter the Kat sweets the
place was called spinella but they have
these places like all over the place all
kind of sell the same kind of thing this
is rotta and pistachio and apparently
it’s got like lard in it so it’s very
fattening and then I don’t really know
what this one is but we’re going to find
out oh my God that is a lot the whole
thing cream filling we just had dinner
so we’re like quite full but I bought
these today and we’re leaving tomorrow
so I have to eat them now what on Earth
oh my God green oh my God what is that
they’re chocolates it’s got little mini
chocolates in the top and it’s got some
kind of green stuff I don’t know what
this is but it’s lovely but we left it
in the room and it’s really warm so it’s
kind of melting M oh my God this is too
much this is too much sugar I just made
a tea morning good morning it is our
last morning morning in Katana so we
have breakfast at 8: we’ve actually been
getting up really early this whole time

we’re going to have breakfast tidy up
the room pack then we’ve got to get a
bus to taramina then we start our new
adventure we’re ready to leave the room

where White Lotus was filmed Lou show
everyone around come with me we have the
bedroom we have a little bedroom in here

chairs oh and there’s a fulllength
mirror which they didn’t have one in the
last
[Music]

of my favorite dishes that I had in sicy
I need to learn how to make this it was
so

love it we’ve watched it every single
day on our whole holiday don’t judge me
that’s sky for you today we having
Seafood spaghetti it’s very
[Music]
nice it’s our first night in a hotel
first night in this new hotel it’s a
little bit old and creepy and now we’re
watching this really disturbing film and
we’re both like really shook by it it’s
called hereditary and I’ve just read on
here is deeply disturbing but Louis
won’t let me leave but we watch most the
movie all together so Charlie are you
here it’s not Charlie it’s a demon don’t
watch this film please it’s so
disturbing
I’m not coming back in here L has got
his fingers in his
ears I’ve never seen Lou so
scared I didn’t see that bit I didn’t
see it it’s morning so freaking
[Music]
gorgeous today we’re going on a boat
trip so we’re just getting ready I’ve
just got my little shell necklace and
I’ve got this little belly chain
too we found this boat tour and it was
£68 each but it was so worth it it was 3
hours long we got to see so much we got
prco we got wine we got a few snacks and
we also got to see some of the White
Lotus filming locations so this is
actually the area where Porsche meets
Jack and the actual hotel is in a
different part of taramina but they have
different filming locations so you can
see there that’s where Porsche meets him
I don’t know if you’ve seen it season 2
anyway great you should watch it this is
meant to be the access point from the
hotel to the beach but actually it’s in
a completely different place so I don’t
actually know where that leads to and
then we went to this place called Azora
Cove and the water was so blue like it
was actually insane it looked like it
had food coloring in it it was so blue
and beautiful we actually made friends
with some American people on the boat
and ended up spending a lot of the rest
of the day with them it was so much fun
they gave me some anti nausea tablets
which I was so thankful for and then we
all got a little bit drunk
[Music]
getting off the bik now we’re all very
drunk
[Music]
so we were up early this morning had
breakfast super early it’s now 9:00 a.m.
and we’re down at the beach club and
we’re going to go over to Isola Bella
it’s pretty chilly this morning so I’ve
got my hoodie on this is the place at
the end of season 2 of White Lotus where
they walk across so we’re really excited
about it wo
[Music]
[Applause]
you ready should we do it I might lose a
flip clop I need to take your
hands so you can actually go onto the
island of a solar Bella it costs €5 each
um but it’s really cool it used to be
like a house the whole island was
someone’s property uh throughout history
and there’s all these cool nooks and
crannies everything’s like built of
these like rocks it’s all tropical it
was great we even got to do a White
Lotus there’s loads of gorgeous
viewpoints what are you
doing working out little outfit of the
day I’ve just filmed it on Instagram but
here it is again I’ve put my hair up cuz
it’s really frizzy today but I bought
this really cute white scrunchie which
goes with the dress I’ve got these and
some of my gold jewelry these ones which
I think go quite nicely the makeup that
I’ve done today and now we’re ready to
go we made it to the top took us about
20 minutes of walking up steps and it
was tiring but we burn off all of our
past stuff that’s
good we’re in taramina it’s crazy busy
so we’re looking for the perfect cheesy
fridge magnet we’ve not yet found it so
Louis has this new thing where he has to
get the cheesiest fridge magnet he can
find in every place he visits and there
was so many to choose from and then he
got me onto it and I started buying
cheesy fridge magnets so it’s a problem
that we have now I wish I remember what
this place was called it was a little
granite and ice cream store with a red
umbrella over it the best drink I’ve
ever had in my entire life that’s it’s
lemon orange and blood
orange so good
[Music]
so we’ve come to the Blue Sky bar we’ve
got a little bottle of wine the start of
our evening and a beautiful view there’s
etar bloody Lovely isn’t it
[Music]
Louis on this evening we enjoyed
ourselves with quite a few drinks and we
did get up to quite a few Shenanigans
which luckily you will not see because
my camera died spilled my strawberry
looks like you just
died it’s our second to last day in
taramina so we’re having a little beach
morning I’ve got my cup of tea that I
made in the hotel room cuz I just got to
have my cup of tea even on the beach got
to have a cup of
tea so we found these gorgeous Gardens
on the way into town in taramina and
they’re so beautiful it’s like a park
but it’s stunning it looks like some
kind of gorgeous just old
[Music]
hotel very very beautiful here now we’re
going to go get food cuz we’re hungry
well I’m
hungry thing I’ve ever seen Isabella in
this choir whil eating this is like the
best pasture I’ve ever had so flavorful
so good this was the restaurant I had
the tagl telli badia it was so good
would highly recommend if you’re in
taramina n in the cable car cuz we
didn’t want to walk all the way down oh
my God it’s going proper fast yeah
that’s faster
than
oh what is he doing oh he’s
opening like I don’t
like but one part of me feels safe doing
that our last breakfast in taramina oh
look how beautiful it looks today we’re
going to eat this spend a little bit of
time on the beach and then we’re going
to go and get a train and then a plane
and then another train so after four
nights in taramina we got on the train
the train station was gorgeous by the
way and headed to the airport we got on
an airplane we said goodbye to Mount
Etna and we were headed to Rome we
didn’t film much that evening cuz we
were exhausted but the next day we were
up early for our Coliseum tour which was
so cool we had the best tour guide his
name was Ru he was so cool and
passionate he was great at storytelling
we learned so so much about the Coliseum
and the palet Hills would highly
recommend a Coliseum
[Music]
tour we learned some good things today
we we learned a lot you keep calling it
Palestine Hills it’s Palatine Hills
don’t you try
correct we are at narine’s house in Rome
Louis’s cousin and we just made a cute
little breakfast Capa salad and salmon
and scrambled eggs this is our second
full day in Rome we’re just going to
take our time today and do whatever the
heck we want in Rome aren’t we Lou yep
and I made the tea that’s about all I
can
do we made it to the Vatican sadly our
tour was cancelled so all we can do is
just look around apparently the queue is
like 3 to 4 hours long it’s been raining
today I forgot my umbrella so we had to
bloody buy
one Isabella came out in a dress today
it said it was going to be 19° and what
did it do it rained all day as soon as
we got here luckily though I did bring
jeans so I’ve tucked my dress into my
jeans the sun has come out I’m sniffly
because there’s some kind of weird
pollen in pollen in the air we’ve got
our souvenir if you haven’t got a
souvenir don’t worry there’s a souvenir
shop on every single corner of every
single Road ever to be built in Rome in
Rome this is the pantheon and it is
gorgeous it’s like so old and Grand I’m
just in bed watching the Lizzie McGuire
Movie on my phone I just happened to be
eating
apricorn and there’s this bit where the
doctor says this young woman should stay
in a bed she should also eat two
apricots you rest up mire don’t want you
to miss out and all the adventures of
Rome I’m literally in Rome in bed eating
apricots and then I didn’t even realize
it’s too perfect is this the biggest
church in Rome no okay it’s not the
biggest but it seems pretty big it’s
huge look at the ceiling it’s all
[Music]
gold oh my God we just went on those
scooter things that was the ride of my
life wasn’t it I had the map so I was
trying to figure out where to go on
these Roman roads traffic everywhere it
was scary wasn’t it L it was so scary it
cost us quite a bit of money cuz we
spent ages cuz we kept going the wrong
way we were recommended to go to
Pizzeria and Marina by Louis’s cousin
who we were staying with they do these
little mini pizzas and they were so
delicious highly recommend we are at the
Spanish Steps which is where Lizzie
MaGuire comes out after her makeover
that’s all I care
about wait again no goodbye hen
goodbye goodbye
hello wait goodbye Lizzie MaGuire hello
fabulous and now we’re going to walk all
the way back down
again we got our
gelato oh what did you get Louis I got
coffee Lou got two scoops of coffee with
a pistachio cone I got chocolate and
mint chocolate on the top and she gave
me two little Wafers she likes my accent
yeah she was really nice they’re very
nice in there it’s our last day in Italy
our last day in Rome so we’re having a
little bit of brei well just coffee and
L is having a cross on I’m saving myself
cuz we ate so much Sushi last night so
that I can fit in a carbonara and a
pizza by the time we leave so I’m not
having any breakfast h Cafe super cute I
just ordered a cafe latte Louis has a
doo espresso and the crossant Louis is
so sick of all my Lizzy mu Maguire
references
oh caner we’re having our last meal in
Rome and it’s a pizza we’ve had pizza
today already but we’re getting pizza
again because when in Rome we’re
actually having it at the airport you
know what this looks phenomenal as well
look what is said I nice looks great I
got a diola and we’re sat watching the
airplanes go then we got on the airplane
home and now I’m home we didn’t film a
whole lot towards the end of the holiday
because we were so exhausted we just
wanted to enjoy our last couple of days
but there is more holiday content on my
Instagram and my patreon so how much did
all of this cost us we took three
flights in total which cost
9183 each three nights in a three star
hotel in katna €
41580 four nights in a three star Beach
Hotel in taramina €
512 we spent four nights in Rome but we
were lucky enough to stay at Louis’s
cousin’s house so we got that for free
so between the two of us it only cost €
46390 each for all of our hotels the
boat trip £68 64 each the Coliseum tour
£37 and 84 the Vatican tour £52 each
which was a very cheap deal but it ended
up getting canceled so we got refunded
but what about spending money for most
of our meals and dinners we went halves
but sometimes we would buy each other
things my spending money total including
all of the meals public transport
everything else came to £ 8717
pen the exchange rate fee that I had to
pay to get the Euros made the Euros
basically the same as a pound so that
brought my grand total for everything on
the holiday
1,634 give or take and LS was roughly
about the same I think that’s really
good for A1 12-day holiday in three
destinations we did well it did take a
little bit of extra time and digging to
find the best value options but it was
worth it so that was our holiday I hope
you enjoyed it hope it gave you some
inspiration of where to go if you visit
any of these places so that’s it bye
