Spa day for my 21st Birthday


Happy birthday to me!

Last weekend I turned 21 (uh oh the real adult responsibility begins…gulp!). On my birthday I had such a great time spending the day with my mum and grandparents. It was lovely to just walk around the shops and spend time all together. In the evening we went to Cote Brasserie and let me tell you the food is incredible! Cannot beat oven baked camembert!

I was surprised by being given a spa day for 2 at the holiday inn outside of Reading, England. It was such a lovely thing to share with my boyfriend. After the hectic work load of the last year, combined with living apart, it was lovely to just be able to spend some quality time together.
 

We sat by the pool and roasted in the sauna. I took a book with me to read ('Will Grayson, Will Grayson'... gotta LOVE John Green) and enjoyed going from the pool to sauna to steam room to pool etc etc. Probably really bad for me but hey, it felt good! We then had a three course meal with wine and it was so fancy! The fanciest meal I have ever had anyway. I had to take pictures because I never want to forget! I had salmon to start with a savoury sorbet. You heard me right, yes, a savoury sorbet! Followed by Beetroot gnocchi with goats cheese and finished off with a brownie because a girl needs chocolate on her birthday weekend!
 
 
 
 
 
I’m really looking forward to this coming weekend as my family and I are going for a day out to marwell zoo. I really love a day at the zoo and cant wait to spend the day with everyone I love the most. I recently went on a bit of a shopping spree in primark (its my weakness!) so hopefully I will get a summer look book posted on here soon!

Much love,

Lozzy

10 things 2020 has taught me so far

This year has been strange for all of us. Some people enjoyed the time off, some hated the lack of structure. Some loved spending quality time with loves ones, others felt claustrophobic. Some of us felt all of this and more. But you know what, I learnt a lot. I learnt a lot about myself that I didn't already know and i'm sure many of you can resonate with some of these points.  I found out that keeping busy was my way of blocking things out. When everything stopped and I could no longer keep filling all my time with 'stuff' I found that I felt quite uncomfortable. Unaddressed demons kept popping up for the first few weeks. This time made me stop and address things I had otherwise would have kept putting off further. It felt healing to let things go and focus on me. Work does not define me. Your job is a part of you, yes, but it is not everything about you. You should not tangle your self worth up in anything that is outside of you.  I found out what I really enjoy. ...

International womens day: Ensuring future equality in the face of Brexit #FaceHerFuture

Womens' equality has come a long way but it has further to go. The #MeToo movement over the past year has again highlighted gender inequality when it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace and emphasises a need for the strengthening of laws surrounding these issues. Currently only 1/3 of MPs are women and many STEM subjects see similar inequality. We have now entered our second year of gender pay gap reporting and unfortunately the numbers do not equate. In 2017 a report by the world economic forum predicted that it would take another 100years until the gender gap closes. Inequality is seen by many as a problem in the past. But as recently at 1991 rape in marriage was first considered a crime. Fawcett Society is the leading charity campaigning for womens rights in great Britain. They state: 'Our vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential creating a stronger, happier, better future ...

What a week....

Hello again everyone! How have all of your weeks gone? Mines been absolutely, unbelievably shocking… Its been one of those weeks where you wonder if the world is trying to spite you. 12 hours of typing up data was enough to start off my week in a bit of a huff, followed by a cancelled lecture… I was not a happy bunny. After a not so great presentation, a stressful driving lesson, software not working and probably another 15 things iv tried to forget, I am back here again a week later. Everything has been more difficult than it should have been and its left me feeling all together quite annoyed. So sitting down to write this is making me feel a little better… even though the clocks have changed and its now dark at 5…..why. Enough of that rant. Good things have happened! I went out on Friday night with my friends and stayed over the night. It was really good to let my hair down and relax for a day after such a hard week. Also I carved this loooovely pumpkin. Look how cu...
