Two years since Amsterdam...

Image
Do you ever get such holiday blues from a previous trip? I went to Amsterdam two years ago yesterday and I'm having such nostalgic feels. Amsterdam is definitely a place I need to go back to, whether it is staying in the same hotel or eating at the same restaurants. There are so many more things and places I want to explore! So this is a little nostalgic post about Amsterdam; all the places I visited, where I stayed, what food I ate and all the beautiful houses... The Hotel: When we decided on the place we wanted to stay at, we wanted something cheap and cheerful. Hotel Espresso was so close to Dam Square which was great because all the touristy locations and shops were in the centre so it made it so convenient. The hotel itself was so nice! The family room was such a great size, really comfortable beds and a mirror on the wall. Also the bathroom had a really nice shower. Also as an added extra, in the lobby area they offered free coffee and tea and if you wanted th...

Let's talk about food...

Hey all, welcome back to the bloggg. I hope you're all doing well. Today's blog is all about food! My very favourite topic to talk about. I thought I'd share my go to places if you want to go out for a lil treat... food is honestly perfecttt. One of my go to places in Preston is We Don't Give A Fork! I went here last week and oh my goodness, the food is amazing and at such an affordable price. Basically it's a burger and fries restaurant where you create your own burger. You decide on the bun, the meat, the cheese and the sauce and even the fries. If you ever visit anywhere in Preston you must come here! Next is Nando's. I love Nando's in general but the one in Preston is a tiny branch and cosy. I must admit I have been way too many times but I can never have enough of the Lemon and Herb wrap with peri chips, yum!! I mean Wetherspoons of course. I'm a sucker for a cocktail pitcher and this is the best place to go. The pub food is...

New Years Resolutions:

Hey you lovely lot! Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I hope you all had the best day on the 25th and got every present you wished for, and even eating all the goods... especially pigs in blankets. I'm currently sat here writing this in my new teddy bedding and throw eating all the chocolate I can consume because I need to eat it before I start my diet on January first, we shall see how long that lasts. I thought I'd make this post all about my new years resolutions, I have a few but not that many. I think every year I never keep to them and really I should. So this time I'm going to try to keep to them. First of all, eat healthy and go to the gym more ... At the start of uni, I joined the gym and went at least twice a week and then came a week off where I went home and I never got back into it and I feel like I've gained so much weight. So in effect when I go back to uni I'm going to eat a lot more healthy and exercise again. It...

Back home for Christmas...

Hey Guys! This is a little different kind of blog post today. More of an update and what I'm up too. Normally I post every Wednesday, but I kind of slipped up this week due to being home and it's been one mega busy week! Let me update you :) First of all, on Wednesday last week my gorgeous new little sweet face was born, the new edition to our family, my nephew Cole. He quickly stole all of our hearts with his little face. I honestly love him so much, its a love like no other... him and my other beautiful nephew and niece. So, for the majority of last weekend I was getting so many cuddles... just look at his toes!! Other than cooing over the little prince, I had my gorgeous niece over for a sleepover and we had the best time, I've not seen her in so long because of being at uni and I miss her so much. She's growing up so much and time is flying by. Then came a massive deadline that will make or break if I get into my second year of my course at uni, so ...

As I'm writing this I'm sat in my flat studying shorthand, all fun and games but after a while I get bored. Especially on a Monday or Wednesday when I'm either not in lectures or finish early. I've watched about three and a half seasons of Jane the Virgin on Netflix and the whole season of Gossip Girl in my spare time so far... SO, here are five things to do when your flat becomes boring or lonely.                                                                                                                                                                       ...
