A Trip to Bath with Ordoo*

Hello guys! 

Any of you that have been keeping up to date with my Twitter or Instagram accounts lately will know that I've officially caught the travel bug. I love going to new places and seeing new things, and my aim of visiting 5 countries this year is actually going pretty well (so far on 3). However that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy visiting places within the U.K as well, and one of my all time favourite places in this country in Bath. 

I went a few years ago for a long weekend with my best friend, and we're planning a return visit for some time this summer. Between the beautiful buildings, the pale stone streets and the stunning Roman baths, there is so much to see and do. One of our favourites was the fashion museum. You can get a double ticket for that and the Roman baths which means you get a saving over individual tickets - from what I can remember it's around £20 but that might have changed by now. 

My other favourite part of visiting Bath is the food. There are beautiful restaurants set in period buildings and coffee shops over looking the green parks and gardens. On a sunny day there is nothing nicer than sitting outside in a city centre with a view of the river or the well kept gardens. It's that perfect mix of city and countryside. 

However as much as it doesn't feel like a busy city centre, it is, and that's where the topic of today's post comes in. Ordoo. Ordoo is a digital service that allows you to order and pay for your food/coffee/drinks in advance meaning you don't have to waste time queueing. I knew that Ordoo worked with many coffee shops and restaurants in London, however after looking further into their website, I've descovered that you can use the app for loads of places in Bath too (even my favourite Bath-Coffee-House) meaning I won't have to waste any of my visit queueing up to get my necessary coffee fix. 

It's such a brilliant idea and I can't wait to try it out when I visit. For those of you out there that's interested they are also linked to several places in Bristol too. You get a voucher code for your first order when you download the app, and you can also earn rewards points every time you use it. Check out the website HERE to see if any of your favourite places are on there. I also urge you to check them out on Twitter and Instagram too for the latest updates, and to see what other people are saying about them.

Now all I need to do is get myself booked in to Bath spa and I'm all set for a perfect long weekend away! Let's just keep our fingers crossed for the weather. 

Let me know if you have used Ordoo before and if you love them as much as I do, and as always, thank you for popping by.

Love to you all x

2016 Goals

Hello everyone!

Ok, so I know I'm a tad late to the party, but I really wanted to share with you my goals for the year to come...

2015 was such a bag of mixed emotions for me. On one hand I got to do so many amazing things. Moved into my first house with the other half, and we also got to go on our first real holiday together. I finally got a new car and met some truly amazing people within the blogging community. I feel like my blog has come along leaps and bounds and starting it is one of the best things I've ever done. However I also got diagnosed with a form of rheumatoid arthritis which has been a bit difficult to come to terms with at just 24 years old, I never managed to clear my debts like I planned, and I seem to have lost touch with loads of people who at one time meant the world to me.

However, 2016 seems like a blank slate right now, and all I want to do is leave all the negativity behind and make these next 12 month as amazing as possible. Here are the things I want to achieve in the year ahead:

1. Expand my blog. I've been thinking about branching out into more fashion and lifestyle posts. I want my little blog to reflect me and my life, not just be about beauty (although it is my favorite thing to write about!). I have so much love for fashion, travel, cooking, art and poetry and I want to start to introduce these into my blog more.

2. Get healthy. This isn't the typical join the gym and lose weight promise that so many of us make in January. My health has been so up and down lately, and I feel that with my arthritis, eczema and asthma, my body has been struggling with all the medication. I want to start yoga and introduce more natural foods into my diet.

3. Travel. I only got my first passport 10 months ago and after visiting the Canary Islands with the other half, I've caught the travel bug. I want to see more places and make memories. Experience different cultures and see as much as possible.

4. Write more. I don't just mean on my blog either. As much as I want to massively increase the amount I post on here, I also want to get back into all the other forms of writing I love, like poetry. I would also like to try my hand at writing a short story or an ebook.

5. Set a date. I would love to be able to set the official date for my wedding! We have been engaged a while now and I'm so excited to get married. Hopefully in the summer of 2017 :)

So this is what I hope to achieve this year. Wish me luck!

What goals have you all set for yourself this year?

Love to you all x
