Birthday Blues

'Don't just count your years, make your years count.' George Meredith

So, that's another birthday over with. If you didn't already know, then on Monday was actually my 19th birthday! I can't actually believe that I am in my last 'teen' year, I remember turning 13 and now 19 - crazy! I'm a summer baby, so the last person in my friendship group to turn this grand old age. Its just how its always been, but having a birthday exactly half way through the year is good enough for me.

Birthdays are a real funny one, my whole life I have been at school for them, for he past 4 years had an exam on them and this year I was working! How fun! But I had a great weekend to compensate for it and enjoyed the day by wearing a badge and everyone wishing me happy birthday.

Holiday Preperation #holidayhype

 Don't know about you but I would rather be on holiday. Whether it be somewhere with a beach, plenty to do - as long as its away! In a recent YouGov survey, it was reported that only 31% of people get excited about going on holiday. 1 in 3 woman worry about their weight everyday that they're on holiday. 

I for think that you shouldn't be worrying about your weight on holiday, its a time to enjoy yourself and be free! Getting excited for the holiday is just as fun, its actually the best part. No matter how stressful, it really is all part of the process! 

Winding Down

This week has been a busy one. I went back to work after a year at university and it was a lot. But I've managed to get through it and next week is a really exciting one! As its Sunday, I thought it was time for me to relax and get ready for another week.
What better way to do that then give my skin some love! Putting on a face mask, relaxing for 20 so minutes and not having a care in the world is my favourite thing to do. Finding face masks for my combination skin is a mammoth task, some work and others don't. But, I think I have finally found my two favourite ones.

Birthday Countdown

'The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.' Lucille Ball.

On Monday its my birthday! I honestly can't believe how quickly this year is going and that I am turning another year older again. Its crazy how fast time is going and how much everything and everyone around me is changing. A birthday or celebration isn't complete without a few things; love, happiness, food and flowers. 

MOD Pizza Leeds

Pizza. Who doesn't love it? I don't think since starting university that I have gone one week without having pizza, the diet starts tomorrow. Last week I have invited to the grand opening of MOD Pizza in Leeds - a pizza lovers heaven. This is a very picture heavy post apologies and if it makes you crave pizza I am also very sorry!

Matcha and Mint Lemonade

When I saw that EatCleanTea where running a blogger competition, I just knew that I had to enter. They set bloggers the task of using their matcha green tea powder to come up with a drink recipe that is out of the ordinary way to use the powder. I am a big fan of tea, green tea and also matcha green tea - so this competition was right up my street. It was time to put the thinking cap on.
