👀 I always feel like somebody's watching me 👀

I went for a walk the other day and when I stopped at @everythingbutthedog.eu for a coffee I looked up and saw the goodest boi watching me. There were two of them up there but the other one ran off just as I got my camera out. 

I love little surprises that make me smile.  What unexpected thing has made you smile today?

Happy valentine's Day ♥️♥️♥️ I bought Happy valentine's Day ♥️♥️♥️

I bought this card ages ago from @dorkface and nearly couldn't find it this morning to give to Tom.

Gilmore Girls is almost like a religion in our house IYKYK.

What's your favourite thing to get through the pos What's your favourite thing to get through the post? Mine is definitely cookies! 🍪 

I bloody love Ben's Cookies and when I worked in Euston we used to go for a walk to pick one up in the afternoon.

This bumper box arrived on my doorstep and I couldn't have been happier. I can't wait to get cracking on with them. 

Thank you @steph.hop

my favourite chocolate orange is in there but there's some I haven't tried too. What's your favourite flavour?!

Got to drink a cuppa or two! ☕ Apart from my cr Got to drink a cuppa or two! ☕

Apart from my crazy love of cheese, the fact the I couldn't find a dairy alternative that I liked in my tea was a huge stumbling block in going plant based. 

I love oat and nut milks in my coffee but everything was just way too sweet to go in my tea. 

I spotted this @alpro my cuppa when I did my last shop and I liked it so much I've bought it again. It is a bit thicker than diary milk and it tastes sort of creamier but I like it. I just wish it came in a bigger carton.

It was only when I produced this for breakfast this morning that I realised none of my trips to @dishoom were with @heroesdieold ! 🙈 I've promised him we can go when lockdown lifts. 

I (obviously) swerved the coriander but, my word, it was delicious. I'm honestly a bit sad I had to share with Tom because I definitely could have eaten both of them!

I was fully influenced by @shoegolf and @liljoeymac so thanks for that!!!

Actually, just feed me full stop. 

Cece loves helping me bake so we made some super easy oatmeal and raisin cookies in the week. She really gets involved until she had to put her hands in and get sticky 😂

They're lovely and chewy.

I haven't baked since the beginning of December so thought I'd get back into the swing of things and make these cute crunchie cupcakes. 

They're honey oat cupcakes with buttercream and crunchie topping. Not great for my healthy eating plan but delicious with a cup of tea.

We finally got some snow today. The girls were so excited to go out and play in it. We even managed to make a little snowman and make sure he stayed safe given the current situation.

I love these as a quick and easy breakfast and it's the easiest recipe ever. 

- 1 banana

Mix them all up and pop them in the pan. Easy! 

What's for breakfast where you are?

Another vegan burger actually, an onion bhaji burger to be precise. 

It was so good but definitely needed more mango chutney. Although, I think there's not much in life that can't be improved with a huge dollop of mango chutney. Amirite?!

How To Pack For A Day Trip

27/10/2020      Leave a Comment

*** This is a collaborative post ***

Day trips are always fun and exciting. They give you a chance to explore a new place or city and get as much stuff done as possible. While often a bit hectic, you benefit from saving loads of money on hotels and food. Plus, a day trip lets you go to loads of different places every single weekend! 

The only hard thing about a day trip is figuring out what to pack. Well, that and figuring out where to go. Packing is challenging as you need to bring some essentials but also don’t want to overdo it. It sucks to carry a massive bag on your shoulders for the whole day – especially if you go shopping and add to your baggage. With that in mind, here’s how you pack for a day trip:

Bring a small backpack

Backpack, rucksack – call it what you want, it’s the best thing to bring on a day trip. You only need a small one, so there’s no point in getting a hiking backpack and taking it with you. Check out sites like Asos, and you will find loads of small rucksacks that fit the job. You need enough room for the rest of your belongings, but the idea is that you don’t have to carry it around everywhere. It’s on your back, so you keep both of your hands free for shopping bags! 

Pack your essential accessories

Next, you have to fill the bag with some essentials. Start by picking out any outfit accessories you may need. I’m talking about hair bands, gloves, maybe even a scarf, etc. Also, as you see on sites like www.eyeglasses.com, you’ll need a pair of sunglasses. This is only relevant when it’s sunny, but don’t forget them, or you’ll spend the whole day squinting. If your bag is big enough, you might be able to fit in a cardigan/light coat. Again, this is just in case the weather is a bit unpredictable. 

Take your emergency supplies

Lastly, you need your emergency supplies. Unlike a proper holiday, you don’t need to pack your passport, travel insurance, and other vital documents. Instead, you need basic things like your purse, maybe a railcard, and so on. Then, pack some other emergency supplies just in case you need them. Bring some feminine hygiene products if it’s nearing your time of the month, take a portable phone charger with you, etc. All of these things are relatively small, so they will fit in your bag with no problems. Plus, they’re light, so they won’t weigh down on your shoulders. Just like that, you’ve basically packed everything you could possibly need for a day trip. Oh, you could add some makeup supplies into your emergency supplies as well!

There you have it; how to pack for a day trip! As you can see, you’re packing very light. Most of this stuff can fit in a handbag, let alone a small backpack. You don’t need to bring loads of things on your trip, so don’t trick yourself into thinking you do. Pack light, bring the essentials, and you’ll be fine.
