Hannah Loves - January

Following from my last lot of loves back in September, there have been a few new things since Christmas and the New Year I have been enjoying and loving throughout January. I was watching the top love on this post and it inspired me to write another post like those before!

Gilmore Girls
I'm always one to take a recommendation from a friend and I have been using this as the perfect excuse to avoid work since I started watching this show. It follows a mother and daughter, the Gilmore's, in their lives in the small town of Stars Hollow. If you like an easy watch and love a long series, I would definitely recommend. 



Miller and Carter
Before finishing the first term of second year, my sister, housemate and I visited this stunning steakhouse chain. I had the steak frites from their lunch menu with the beef dripping sauce (the heaven version of gravy) and would not hesitate to have the same again. Thankfully, we have a birthday visit planned for the end of this week! To find a restaurant and peruse their menus, visit: http://www.millerandcarter.co.uk/.

Pyjamas
One of my favourite gifts from my sister, were these amazing Disney princess pyjamas. Not only are they by far the snazziest pyjamas I own, they are also super comfy. Sadly they are only available in one size as I am writing this, but they do have other Disney styles on ASOS.


Dressing Gown
In a similar theme, my new dressing gown has become an essential comforter. It is inevitable that a soft, fluffy gown can make anything or any situation better. I have a light pink Jasper Conran gown, which is available in that and other various colours from Debenhams.

Laptop
My gift to myself at the end of 2016 was a new laptop, after having my beloved pink ASUS for over 5 years! I don't really need anything too top notch for what I use my laptop for, but I got a HP Pavilion model for £399. However, since I bought this they have reduced the upgrade version to the same price, which can be found here! (A classic example of not waiting for January sales!)

Music
One of the songs that I have been listening to a lot on Spotify throughout January is "Scars To Your Beautiful" by Alessia Cara. I'm not really sure how I found it, but this song, along with a lot of her other stuff is worth checking out. Also, the piano acoustic version of September Song by JP Cooper I could probably say has been my most listened to song recently, a big favourite of mine!

That's all for this month, thank you for reading. 

Love,

Hello September - University "Resolutions"

Over the past few weeks, I have been pretty slack with my blog that I barely even began. Since then I have worked a lot, spent time with a lot of lovely people, whilst missing others and had a birthday. This isn't me making excuses to myself as I should remind myself that this blog is a space where I can document my own experiences etc in my own time. It's a hobby, so it should be enjoyable and not forced! With just over a week before I move back to university and the almost changing of the seasons, there are a few little things I want to change in my own world. These are just areas I would like to "alter", let's say.  Wear the clothes I like  I occasionally (= quite a bit of the time) stop myself from buying or wearing certain clothes because I care too much about what other people think. I worry that I'll be too overdressed, not blend in with what the people I'm with are wearing or even look a bit dressed down cause I haven't dressed up as...

Hannah Loves - September

Image
Autumn is here and I have been (very) slowly getting back into my routine at university. When travelling to London for the weekend I thought I should spend my time wisely and plan a new post. So, as similarly shown in my  June edition , here are a few things that I have been loving throughout September.  Cinnamon Buns Probably not what you first expected to read, but for the past couple of weeks these have been my go-to sweet treat. With the convenience of living so close to somewhere that sells them, it has proven quite difficult for my housemate and I to resist. They have been just what I need with a cup of tea for a bit of motivation or when I have needed a little pick me up. I definitely need to have a go at baking them myself! Hunted My sister particularly raved about the first series of this Channel 4 show. Currently, two episodes of the second series have been aired and now I wish I had the time to binge watch the first! The show follows pairs of ordin...

Favourite Bakes - Lemon Drizzle Cake

Image
Baking has been a hobby of mine for many years now and has particularly been inspired by the TV show, "The Great British Bake Off" (which I cannot wait to start again later this summer!). One of the nation's favourite bakers, Mary Berry, has written many delicious recipes in her cookbooks, some of which are also available on line. My first favourite bake is her lemon drizzle cake. Yesterday, I spent the afternoon baking with one of my best friends, Clarice, a baker in her own right, and this was our first task! If you any level of a sweet tooth you'll love this bake.  This recipe is actually for a traybake style cake,  which features in Mary's book  Simple Cakes . The full set of ingredients for the bake are butter/cooking margarine, self raising flour, caster sugar, baking power, eggs, granulated sugar and the zest and juices of two lemons.  All of the ingredients apart from the lemon juice and granulated sugar are mixed together, be sure to siev...
