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

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...

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...

12 books I'm excited to read in 2021

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!  With new years quickly approaching I have decided that THIS is THE YEAR i'm going to read a book a month. So without further or do, here are my 12 reads for 2021 (subject to change...).  The Magpie Society - One for Sorrow by Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch  This novel is the first in a series set at an elite boarding school. The story follows two students after the findings of a body at the students summer party. They are both drawn together through the unravelling mystery of the girls murder. I always enjoy a good murder mystery and I am looking forward to the twists this will bring.    Mindfulness - A practical guide for finding peace in a frantic world by Mark Williams and Danny Penmann  Back of the book reads " Mindfulness reveals the secrets of lifelong happiness and details a unique programme developed by Oxford University psychologist Professor Mark Williams with colleagues around the world." I first read this book ...
