Lucy Loves... | Random Monthly Favourites

Helloo,

Firstly let me apologise for neglecting my blog a bit these past few days. I have been overwhelmed with Uni work, turns out second year is stupidly harder than first, slightly dreading third year. Anyway, this is a little late but here are my random monthly favourites.

Foods!

Green Tea- I have a massive love for tea, as you may know and I recently discovered green tea, which is amazing!! Green tea is pretty much black tea which isn't as processed so it has even more antioxidants and all those good things. I especially love the lemon one pictured here, it reminds me of lemon iced tea. Yum!

Peanut Butter- I have alwaaaays loved peanut butter but have recently had a new found love for it. I made some peanut butter cookies using crunchy peanut butter so it had chunks of peanut in it (anyone want a 'how to' for them?) they were very yummy and went in 2 days. So yes, peanut butter is good!

Fluff- How have I never had this before!? It is (according to the tub) an American marshmallow spread. Oh my gosh it is amazing. It doesn't really taste like marshmallows, but does at the same time, it's similar in texture to melted marshmallows. It's this really gloopy strawberry flavoured stuff which is quite frankly amazing. I got it from this little sweet shop in town which sells lots of American sweets, best of all it was only £2.50.

Jewellery!

Stud bracelet- This bracelet is from Miss Selfridge and was £1...yes!! £1!!! It had a label on it saying £7 but I was prepared to invest in it because I loved it so much, when it came up on the till as being £1 in the sale I almost hugged the cashier. It's made up (as you can probably see) of white and black spikey studs, then gold pyramid studs. I wear it pretty much everyday.

Rose necklace- This is an antique and it was my nan's, I loved it loads when I was first given it and I wore it all the time. My nan very sadly passed away a few weeks ago and so now this holds tonnes of sentimental value as well. I love the colour of the rose and the chain is actual silver so it doesn't go discoloured, YAY!

Gloves- I saw these in George and just fell in love, They are adorable little owls with pom pom ears. They're the type of gloves which are finger-less but then the top folds down to form mittens. I think that they were £6 which I do not mind at all because they are so damn cute. If you're looking for scarves and gloves I suggest looking in George they have loads of really nice ones. 

Faux Leather Coat- I LOVE my leather coat. There are loads around but I liked this one from Miss Selfridge because it has quilted parts on the shoulders and down the sides. It was around £55 if I remember  rightly which I thought was pretty good. 

Finally, I very stupidly forgot to take a picture of the candle which is in the main picture, on the right. This was from Primark and was a measly £2.50. It is a cupcake scented one and it smells amazing. I was really surprised that the Primark candles were really good and were so cheap. It is also in a white ceramic case which is lovely and I shall re-use it once the candle has all burnt. 

Thank you very much for reading :) I hope you're having a good week so far.

Lots of love, Lucy xx

Ten Day You challenge | Day Six

Day Six | Five foods

I am a really rather picky eater and I always have been (I'm sat here now, picking the fat of a bacon sandwich) never the less I eat like a horse and could snack for ever and ever. I have also found a very good vacuum in my boyfriend Liam who is not picky at all and eats anything I leave (sometimes it's quite gross, haha). I do love food and often look forward to eating during the day, which is quite sad. So anyway...

1. Sunday roast - This is not so much a food as a meal...but I don't love one thing in a Sunday roast more than another. I have alwaaays had one, we used to go to my nans every week and she would do one, but now we stay at home or go out, never the less, it is my favourite meal in the world, I love vegetables and meat and different variations of potatoes...so it's pretty much heaven on a plate to me.

2.Sweets - I love sweets, I much prefer sweets to chocolate and I blame this on my mum because she always bought me and my brother a few little sweets a week and rarely gave us chocolate instead. I mean I love chocolate, I just love sweets more. Especially Randoms and Giant Strawbs and now my mouth is watering!

3. Mum's chips - I have always loved mum's chips. I really dislike any other kind, including oven and fried and whatever else, but there's something about home made ones which are really moreish. I could eat them for all of eternity.

4. Subway - I do love subway, A chicken Tikka footlong toasted with no cheese (I really hate melted cheese) with lettuce cucumber and red onions...to be precise. I love how sweet the bread is although I also know that Subways are pretty well known for their high levels of salt, so I only have one on occasions, but i'd rather a subway than a McDonalds.

5. Banana frittas - I LOVE banana everything, milkshake, ice cream, yoghurt and these things which are the holy grail of banana goodness (or maybe badness because they're sort of bad for you). They are simply deep fried bananas which you may be wincing at but on no I promise you...these things are amaaaaaaazing! The batter is lovely and crisp and the banana is warm but not all that mushy. It's just delicious, especially swirled with golden syrup. There was a little tiny store which sold them on holiday and we'd have one every year the day before going home. If you ever get the chance to try one...do it!


Thank you for reading :) I do hope your Saturday is fab so far :)

Lots of love, Lucy xx
