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

Autumn reflection

Happy Monday folks! Where has this last week gone? In fact, how has autumn nearly come and gone! Scarfs, candles, pumpkins, warm drinks and leaves, this time of year is so lovely. This season is always one for getting back into the swings of uni/school work and coming to terms with the fact that summer is now a distant memory, the nights draw closer and the weather gets more and more dreary with each coming day…. Yay? But after a few years of study, I feel like I have got into the balance of life/work but every year September brings around the challenge all over again. With what feels like mountains to do, sometimes the things I enjoy seem to slip. So, having just been set 5 projects all due by December, I thought now would be a good time to outline what I find are the best ways to manage those stressy times but still get what needs to be done… well… done! 1) Lists – an old but true suggestion. Write everything down. The stress of forge...

Just keep swimming

Hello hello, Heres my first blog post. Seemed fitting to start something new on the 9 th of October…. Anyone? Well I’ve been having the burning desire to chit chat and document my thoughts, ideas, mishaps, adventures and maybe even a sprinkling of advice for good measure. So here we go. Strap in folks. This is definitely going to be a bumpy ride so bear with me…. Well happy Monday. Today consisted of my theory driving test which phew I passed! Whoop whoop for me. But as anyone who knows me knows all too well, my stress levels are something that without… well…. I wouldn’t be me. So with stress levels still high but with a sense of success seeping in, I plodded through the ever coldening (not a word but should be) English weather to catch my train. Always busy. Like its midday on a Monday. What are you all doing. Anyway as I slumped into a chewing gum covered seat I rested my arm on the arm rest. But it wasn’t an arm rest. It was a poor unsuspecting middle aged mans knee wh...

Autumn at the Arboretum

Hey all, I went to Westonbirt arboretum again this year and loved it just as much as the first time. The crunching of the leaves, the sun through the blazing leaves and a bitter breeze on my face. It was lovely to have a day away from everything. We got wrapped up in our woollies and braved the cold day and really was not disappointing with the array of colours. A time to really relax and just be in the moment. How hippy-fied of me… We spent the day looking at so many beautiful autumn colours, drinking hot chocolate and eating doughnuts! My boyfriend ( dark_matter97 ) and I took lots of pictures while I was there and thought I would share a few; Happy Halloween and I hope you all have had a great autumn thus far, Id love to see any autumn pictures you have taken this year! Love, Lozzy
