Hannah Loves - March

I'm (finally) getting back to my blog, after not posting for quite some time. I thought I would go back to a post type I really enjoy writing, that being what I have been loving recently. So, here are a few of my favourites from the past month.

Black Panther
I'm not someone who is overly familiar with Marvel films, but after hearing amazing things about their latest blockbuster, Black Panther, I had to go and see it. With a rating of 7.8/10 on IMDB and a score of 97% from Rotten Tomatoes, I think these reflect the film perfectly. I won't spoil any details but will say, if you do decide to check it out, stay until the end of the credits!

The Bristolian - Bristol
Recently I have been to this independent café and bistro in Bristol a couple of times, for brunch and dinner. With a wide range of choices on their menu, they cater for everyone with vegetarian and vegan options available. Their unique décor adds to The Bristolian’s charm. On my first visit, I had the tostades tomato and on the second I had the vegetarian quesadilla, both of which I would highly recommend! I can’t forget their range of delicious homemade cakes, with their brownie being my go-to choice. So, if you live in Bristol or ever find yourself in the city, I highly recommend you check The Bristolian out!




The Body Shop Tea Tree Skincare

Last Christmas I received a tea tree skincare set from my parents. This included a cleanser, toner and mattifying lotion. I don’t have overly problematic skin, but it’s far from perfect and I can’t remember my skin ever being fully clear since my pre-teens. I’m awful at sticking to a skincare routine, but I have found that when I’ve used this set regularly my skin has improved. I would say that this is definitely worth trying if you are prone to breakouts.


Emporio Armani Because It’s You Fragrance
I’ve always been a lover of Thierry Mugler’s Alien perfume, but after many attempts of trying to find one I love just as much, I think I’ve finally found it with this one. It is an elegant, fresh scent, that isn’t too intense for daytime wear. It’s available from many retailers, including on the Boots website.


Music
Lately, my recently listened to on Spotify has been full of James Bay. After not releasing anything new for a few years, the announcement of his new single Wild Love, was very exciting for me. I was and still am a huge fan of his first album and cannot wait for the next after hearing Wild Love and Pink Lemonade. Fingers crossed I’m able to get tickets to his tour this summer!

That's all for this month, thanks for reading this, especially after my lack of posts!
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

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...
