Text of the page (random words):
od to know that she s still loved and used and enjoying life on the roads i always feel a bit bad that i never gave her a name but now there s a beautiful new girl in my life my new job has a shorter commute and cycling is a viable option it should also save me plenty of money and give me a wee bit of a fitness boost i spent a lot of time researching which bike to go for but in the end my heart guided me and i went with a pashley princess sovereign which i ll be paying for for the next few years thanks to the pay4later option at urban cyclery i went with the pashley princess sovereign because she had everything i wanted a strong and sturdy steel loop frame ding dong bell lugged frame dress guards so that my long autumn skirts don t get stuck hub brakes 5 hub gears a full chain case to stop me from being covered in mud when it rains a beautiful wicker basket dynamo lights a pannier rack and a snazzy integrated rear wheel lock for an additional element of safety it s love for sure pashleys are by no means cheap but they re beautiful and incredibly well made and still made in stratford upon avon and why boudicca partly because boudicca is somewhat of a hero of mine but also because despite the fact that this is very clearly a femmey bike she s also pretty strong hardworking and sturdy i wanted a bike that i d feel safe on and she s definitely that i m looking forward to regaling you with tales of my adventures as a cyclist in london i m already a bit bike obsessed so there s be details of rides bike accessory reviews i m looking forward to sharing my helmet choice with you and various bits of chit chat about my new found love on the blog too do you cycle what s your bike of choice rss feed bloglovin facebook google twitter at 16 39 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels boudicca cycling pashley monday 5 august 2013 budget eats meal plan 1 hello radio silence is taking a wee break as i m finally through the stress of job hunting which means i have a new job hurrah i don t know about you but summer seems to have kicked my wallet a wee bit i think it s because i m more inclined to go out and about and meet people for drinks which is lovely but it means that i m already looking at my bank account with a mild amount of fret and worry although part of that is due to buying myself a new bike but shush more about her another day anyway on twitter yesterday i mentioned that i d managed to plan meals for a week for 2 for around 15 lunch dinner breakfast is always gluten free cereal almond milk and a few people seemed interested so i thought i d share lunches will be leftovers either from the day before or from the 2 big batch meals soup rice salad at the start of the week i say around 15 because i m aware i m not taking the cost of stock herbs spices into account but i d say at the very very most this would be 20 i shop locally and i m lucky enough to have a lovely friendly greengrocers nearby the veg for this came to 9 28 including 3 fresh chillis garlic fresh ginger fresh parsley and a cheeky blood orange i understand that if you have to use your local supermarket it might not come in quite as cheap i really do recommend trying to find a good local greengrocers if you can because they re often cheaper and allow more flexibility in terms of how much you buy of each ingredient i m not giving full recipes just a basic overview although if there s anything you d really like me to go into detail with then let me know there s a big stock of herbs spices in my cupboard again i buy the cheapest bulk versions possible so without further ado here s the meal plan for this week sunday evening 4 portions for dinner 3 portions left over carrot sweet potato soup 6 medium carrots 1 v

friday 24 may 2013 adamina day spa review aloha i ve had this week off work and i decided i very much deserved a lovely treat to myself so i figured a trip to a spa would be lovely initially i was planning on getting a lush synaethesia massage but in the end i settled on the tranquility ritual from adamina day spa in kensington as long as you don t walk the wrong way out of high street kensington tube station like i did adamina spa is really easy to find it s about a 5 minute walk from the tube turn left not right and is located on kensington high street the spa uses comfort zone treatments and offers a wide range of beauty services including massage mani pedi ipl and various wraps and rituals from the minute you step inside you feel removed from the business and rush of the high street and transported into a luxurious haven adamina spa have gone for a slightly vintagey feel with soft lighting antique dressers and pictures of old movie stars dotted around the receptionist took me down to the changing room where my wardrobe was waiting for me with a very short robe slippers and towels i was invited to use the steam room if i wanted free of charge for anyone having a treatment or to use the relaxation room where comfy seats pukka teas and lemon water awaited me i took a quick nip into the steam room which is a bit like a dark stony cave it is unisex although when i was there it was super quiet and there were no men booked in that day i then headed to the relaxation room to enjoy a cup of love tea my favourite pukka tea and to flick indulgently through glossy magazines whilst i waited for vicki my therapist now one thing to note is that whilst i was in the waiting room i started to hear a few building work noises they weren t too loud so i wasn t too worried more on that later vicki was absolutely fantastic she came down to meet me in the relaxation room and we chatted a little about my treatment i went for the tranquility ritual a 90 minute massage body mask facial and also about my seizures i think i may have terrified her a little bit but she hid it well vicki wanted to know what i wanted to get out of the treatment itself and also checked how much pressure i liked in my massage as hard as you can go was my reply this was a nice touch often if you go for something like a tranquility ritual you don t get a say in how hard or soft your massage is you just get the set package she also allowed herself time to work more on my back than anywhere else because it s so tight this is where the review has to take a bit of a fork in the road part i ll start with the good vicki was incredible she made me feel so safe and relaxed i was a little anxious because it s a long time since i ve had anything nice and spa like the bed was heated and adjusted to fit my body and i was covered by a lovely warm duvet blanket for the whole treatment it was like being in a cosy bed more than on a spa table she only uncovered the bits of me she needed at that exact moment perfect also i don t know if this is the case for all adamina spa treatments or just mine but there was lovely classical music and the odd bit of opera playing instead of whale noises the ritual itself consisted of a facial first and then having my body massaged with a thick lotion mask think origins drink up for the body vicki is an fantastic beauty therapist i really can t praise her highly enough she had a perfect seemingly intuitive touch however remember those building noises turns out my treatment room was right next to where the building works were being done now adamina have absolutely no control over them it isn t their building works and poor vicki was so incredibly apologetic and did still provide a wonderful treatment despite this however the tranquility part of my tranquility ritual was sadly lacking there were parts where i had to put my fingers in my ears because it was so loud and because certain pitches or types of noise can affect my seizures thankfully i was ok from what i understand these building works have been going on for a while from my wandering around i think i was definitely in the worst treatment room for this there were some downstairs that didn t seem as loud as i say vicki was exceptionally apologetic and lovely about this after my treatment i was lead back down to the relaxation room where i could stay for as long as i wanted instead i decided to just get dressed and head out for lunch there s a wonderful monsoon shower that you can take advantage of should you need to as well one thing that did soften the blow of the building works was that all new customers monday friday receive 50 off off their treatments although i actually think that the receptionist over charged me by 2 50 by the time i d realised though i was already eating lunch and i didn t want to go back to query a couple of pounds you also get 50 off if you mentioned i ve recommended you just mentioned emily birkinshaw when you book i really would recommend adamina spa though despite all the building works the treatments are beautiful and the spa itself is a wonderful haven from the busy rush of the high street it s just a shame that the building works detracted from all of this if you like me are bothered by noise it might be worth asking if you could have your treatment downstairs it s also worth noting that the building works are intermittent and i had a good 30 minutes where there was just a gentle hum so there s a high chance that they won t affect you at all and as i said despite all of this adamina spa was still a lovely place to visit i had the tranquility ritual at adamina spa which i paid for myself rss feed bloglovin facebook google twitter at 10 00 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels adamina spa beauty massage reviews spa wednesday 22 may 2013 wednesday wishlist skincare if there s one this that can be said for blogging it s that it s one of the worst enablers i ve known a mere 10 minutes of blog browsing can lead to me writing a list of skin care wishes that s longer than my arm i ve had a thing for buttery cleansers since i tried the emma hardie cleansing balm and the antipodes grapeseed cleansing butter has been catching my eye every time i go into whole foods it smells really wonderful and has a thick and creamy texture i also was given a teeny tiny sample of the kiehl s midnight recovery concentrate when i was out shopping the other day i ve been using it for the last couple of nights over the ren aha resurfacing concentrate a review of that coming soon and my skin feels divine it s so soft and clear and i m not entirely certain what i m going to do when my sample runs out i saw the origins ginzing energy boosting moisturiser on anna s blog the other day and knowing how good the ginzing eye cream is i get the feeling this will be high on my list of wants too at the moment i m using the origins mega bright range it s taken my skin from a dire mess to silky smooth in under a week so expect a rave review of that sometime in the near future lush s synaethesia spa treatment has been high on my wishlist for years now i very almost ended up having one but sadly i was too busy being ill with seizures and i had to cancel my appointment hopefully one day i ll get round to it it s a completely tailored multi sensory spa experience and sounds divinely magical another thing i gave a try when i was out browsing the beauty halls of london the other day was the caudalie beauty elixir obviously every blogger seems to have tried this at some point or other and falls in love i noticed a definite difference to my skin when i spritzed it on and loved the refreshingly minty smell and last but not least it s another product from antipodes this time the aura manuka honey mask this smells incredible it s sweet but not sickly or cloying manuka honey is jam packed with antioxidents and good things and i m really looking forward to treating myself to this at some point what are you lusting after at the moment rss feed bloglovin facebook google twitter at 08 52 2 comments email this blogthis
