Photo walk

Revision has been a huge part of my life recently, I am now on the home straight. 5 more exams in the next 2 weeks then I am finished A-levels forever. Anthony came over for tea as a break from my revision and we took my SLR camera out for a walk as it has been gathering dust. All pictures were taken using a 50mm f/1.8 lens. I can't wait for summer I have almost 3 months of adventures to plan with my wonderful friends who have been neglected during exam season. Just praying for sunshine now! (Look away if you hate mushy couple photos...)

Coeliac Awareness Week

Last week was Coeliac Awareness Week. Coeliac is a disease which involves intolerance to Gluten, Wheat, Barley and Rye. In Coeliacs eating gluten can damage the villi on the lining of the small intestine and result in serious immune response. Symptoms include infertility, rash, hair loss, ulcers and stomach pains. My Mother and I went on a Coeliac diet for this awareness week and I realised how difficult it must be to have an intolerance you have to be incredibly careful about your food choices. Special free-from food are also rather expensive and when eating out your meal choices are very narrow. I attempted to keep a food diary via Instagram of my eating habits throughout the week.








At the end of it I felt a lot healthier and my skin was really good, I stayed away from a lot of bad snacks for fear of what they contained!

Cherry Coke and a Catchup!

After 2 weeks of almost non-stop revision. We managed to reunite the awesome foursome after months. I visited the Riverview Diner with Sarita, Vicki and Jess. It is a gorgeous 1940s style automobile diner where we like to catch up!!

From Vicki's Instagram


I had a cheeky hotdog and chips (the diet starts tomorrow...) followed my a chocolate ice cream sundae that I shared with Jess. The diner is so picturesque, I couldn't resist taking my SLR out for the first time in a while.

early march hapennings...


This is what I look like in March... I found some videos that I took of Anthony and wanted to make some of me to combine into one video. Until I realised that I don't have a video editor- It's the thought that counts!


I have a strange obsession with stationary I love it! I have jars of clips and pegs, notecards and pens all over my desk but, Today I got the coolest stuff. These two Monopoly board notepads and Periodic Table of Elements rubbers! Which are soooo cool, I really struggled with which elements to pick (that sounds so nerdy). I am planning to keep one as a food diary and the other as a normal diary.


I also bought some new pyjamas, these are super cute. They are blue with little watering cans on- They remind me of spring!


When I got back from Italy Mum had put this gorgeous film photography print up in my room. My next door neighbour took this it is an abstract of the railway bridge near our house. 

Skiing



My mum left this cute note on my suitcase!
 I have been skiing in Italy in the February half term (again). In a place called Pinzolo. The mountains were beautiful and the blizzard-like conditions made it feel like I was living in a sheet of plain paper- Everything was so white!!

Packing lists!

 For the aprés ski programme we went on a Husky drawn sleigh ride, which was amazing but they pooped everywhere!


Anthony got me this gorgeous Fjallraven Kanken for Valentines day, which I took on the trip. I chose graphite so I would be able to wear it with everything!
