2019: Happier, Healthier and Guilt Free

Image
2019 The year to make a difference. Promises to myself: I am on a make-up ban: I will only buy what I need to replace. Other than that, I will use what I already have. Same goes with clothes actually. Make-up and clothes. Let's do that. Although I do get many of my clothes now from vintage stores and charity shops. I will not buy single use plastic bags: there are so many re-useable ones in my home/car that I need to remember to take them shopping!I actually hate myself a little tiny bit every time I have to pay for one. I will eat less meat: I am unlikely to go full veggie but I will cut my carbon footprint and reduce the amount of meat consumed. I actually like most veggie meals, but I found that I just ended up eating more cheese. And then getting chubby from all of the cheese. Mmm cheese. I will save money: I want to buy a house and to buy a house, I need money. Lots of money. I will live more ethically and sustainably: Buy less, waste less. Choosing to re-...

Wanderlust Series #6 City Break - New York, USA

Image
Hey! This is an exciting post to have written. I was lucky enough to travel to New York in October this year with my lovely uni friend, Lydia. New York has been on my wish list for years and years but it always seemed a little out of reach. So being given the opportunity to go, I jumped at the chance.  Lydia and I travelled from London Heathrow with Virgin Atlantic for 4 nights. We got early morning flights out and this was perfect as New York are 5 hours behind the UK so it meant that on arrival we could still go and explore for a few hours. Our return flight was a night flight, 22:30. This again, was perfect as we got a whole day in the city. I found that 4 nights/5 days was actually a really good amount of time to explore. You may already be familiar with some of the attractions available, however there is so much more. I'll break this post down into sections to make it easier to guide you through the trip... Eats & Drinks Personally, I found food h...

Wanderlust Series #1 - Puerto Rico

Image
Hello! This is the start of an exciting series in which I have named the Wanderlust Series, hoping to post once a month. I am kicking off with the beautiful country of Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean, in which I was honoured to visit in June 2014 with the Puerto Rico Tourism Company and Air Europa . I had the chance to see the history, experience the natural wonder of the Bio Bay, see some of the extensive rainforest and visit many wonderful hotels all by travelling around the island in just 5 days! It was jam packed and I would obviously advise to spend a lot longer there but there really is so much to do on the fantastic little island.  Map from  mapscitys.tk Flying time from the UK - 9hrs direct / 14ish indirect Airlines - direct Norwegian Air / indirect - Air Europa Currency - US Dollars Best time to visit - I went in June and the weather was great, it wasn't cold but we have some cloud and rain in places.
