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. ...

Finding the light within the storm

January was a month of lockdown, isolation and teaching from home. A month of sunrises, walks and reading. Dancing, painting, snow falls and quiet. There was beauty where you looked for it. Moments of calm amongst this storm. The snow bought a welcome relief. Some variety to living so cooped up. It felt lovely to feel such coolness in the air and to see the world looking so bright. I built a snowman and felt my worries slipping away. I enjoyed hot chocolates and cosy blankets. February started off much like January but harder. Days working from home felt filled with stress and worry. Long days slumped over a laptop, grinding teeth and headaches, deadlines and lesson plans. However, it has also been filled with love. Valentines day, walks, yummy food and still more memories from this month to make. I wanted to share a few things that are lighting up my life so far in 2021. We all need to find the light in the storm. I downloaded an app called one second everyday and I really recommend y...

My Menstrual Cup and Me

One of my 2021 resolutions was to try and make environmentally conscious decisions and this has started with my period. The stats regarding period product waste in landfill was something I just couldn't ignore.  "Did you know that conventional sanitary pads contain a high percentage of plastic? One estimate is that pads are made of  up to 90% plastic  – another is that a pack of menstrual pads is  equivalent to 4 plastic bags"  ( Friends of the Earth ). "The average person who menstruates throws away  up to 200 kg of menstrual products  in their lifetime"  ( Friends of the Earth ). Image by  PatriciaMoraleda  from  Pixabay This really made me think about the waste that I was producing each and every month.   I decided it was time for me to try something more environmentally friendly and I decided that I would try menstrual cups. Now don't get me wrong, the idea made me nervous. I had heard horr or stories of leakage, cramp...
