Trip to Harrogate

 

On the Easter weekend we decided to take a trip to Harrogate.

I've since decided that I love this place.

 

 

We went to Beer n Burgers for lunch and omg I loved it. The burgers, the milkshake, the way it was all set out, all of it, it was amazing.

Just using a door as a table, as you do.

 



  

This how my milkshake came.

 

 

Yes this is a salt shaker!

 



 

It was different but I loved it.

Those of you with sharp eyes and an obsession with Lush will notice the Lush bag in the back ground of some of those pics. I admit it, I did buy a lot of lush.

 

Keep your peepers peeled for a lush haul coming soon.

Teatox...does it work? - The Update

 

As promised, this is an update on the teatox I started.

 

If you haven't see my previous post I have linked it here.
The teatox I tried is the Skinny Mint teatox which has the morning boost and night cleanse teas.

 

So I took it as instructed, I wouldn't say it tastes horrible, but it's not a taste I would pick to drink daily. I'm more of an Earl Grey - Bergamot and lemon girl myself but as I say neither of the teas where horrible.

 

I do think that maybe it could have helped as an appetite suppressant although I cant be 100% sure whether that was a subconscious choice to eat less or whether the tea actually had an affect. I was a little bit apprehensive about the night cleanse as it does say that it has a laxative effect and when you hear that you expect to be running to the loo but honestly it was nothing like that.

 

I did have a small trip to hospital recently and whilst trying to think of things that could have caused my symptoms; apart from stress this was the only thing I'd done differently. Honestly I do believe it was stress that caused my symptoms but I stopped taking the tea anyway.

 

Overall in the time I was taking the teatox I haven't noticed any dramatic difference in weight or inches around my waist so if I'm honest I don't think this teatox worked for me.

They do all say to maintain a healthy balanced diet and exercise which to be fair if you just stuck to that you would have the results you were after in the first place but you might think it was the teatox that was doing it.

 

I think the best way to detox is to do it how nature intended.
 

Did you know that if you drink the 8 cups of water that is recommended and if you spread them out throughout the day it will help suppress your appetite, increase energy and get rid of toxins in your body.... kind of what teatox says it does.

 

So I think I'll stick to my Earl Grey and increase my water intake.

I hope this helped and maybe saved you a few ££s on a teatox you probably don't really need.

In memory of

 

Hi guys, as you know I've taken up crafting, specifically knitting and crocheting and I've been learning and practicing the basic stitches.

 

My nana used to crochet a lot and I really wish I had taken it up sooner because I could have learned from her and I would have been able to ask her how she made every doyley that my mum still owns, so in loving memory of my nana I have stolen (borrowed) all doyleys in an effort to figure out how she made them.

 

Some where quite simple so those have since been returned to their places under potted plants all over mums house but this is one I kept and attempted to copy.

 

Nana's original one is the white on; mine I did in red to match the theme of my kitchen and now sits under my wedding Posey that is also red and is kept in my kitchen.

 

 

 

This is what I've been up to since last night.

 

Just while were talking crochet.... I finished my blanket yay, I even made a 3 layered flower and decided to add it to the middle.

 

 

I'm quite happy with them as first attempts.

 

Watch this space, lots more to come.
