Sunday In Food

Over summer I've noticed a real improvement in the quality of my cooking, not necessarily due to any particular change in skill, simply an increased passion for cooking and really thinking about flavours, ingredients and how I can tweak recipes. So I thought, given that its a Sunday and therefore you're likely to have a little more time than usual to whip up something delicious, I'd share with you three of my latest culinary successes. Conveniently enough breakfast, Sunday lunch and dinner recipes, perfect for a truly indulgent Sunday.

A Lesson In: Lectures

Freshers week has been and gone, you're probably feeling a little worse for wear, and I bet all you want to do is sleep. Unfortunately you'll have to crawl out of your cosy bed and venture outside, as lectures have begun! It's the sad truth that realistically we go to University to learn, and that means attending lectures, however if you can get into some good habits early (i.e actually attending them) then lectures aren't so bad. And luckily for you, I'm here to help.

You Beauty Discovery Box - September

A week or so ago the postman delivered a little treat in the form of You Beauty's discovery box, a beauty box that before a few weeks ago I'd never heard of, and was intrigued to try. Well, I've had a week to play around with the products, so I can now report back to you with my thoughts!

A Chilly Thursday's Walk

Last Thursday, Mum and I jumped in the car with Nellie the dog and visited one of our favourite walking spots in Suffolk, to make the most of the beautiful countryside before she and Dad pack their bags and move to Wales (warning: picture heavy post!).

A Lesson In: University Life

So by this point you're probably either packed and ready to go, or have unpacked your tiny new university bedroom and have waved goodbye to Mum and Dad. You're probably a little nervous, or a lot nervous, tearful and unsure of just how you're going to cope living all by yourself. Most of this anxiety will fade over time, you'll get into a routine, learn what you do and don't need from a food shop, and how to work the washing machine. But nonetheless there are some things that I learned from my first year experience that may just help you get settled in that little bit faster.
