#LushEthics Sheffield Blogger Event

Last week I was very kindly invited to the latest Lush event in Sheffield. I was so excited when the email popped in my inbox, I've been so jealous of everyone who's got to go to them elsewhere.
The event was mainly based around their naked products and the reduction in packaging they've managed to achieve. It was incredible to hear how much plastic has been reduced by selling everything with no packaging. I was also so impressed with all the staff's knowledge and passion surrounding the brand.

Life | April Snippets

Hey, Hi, Hello, where did April go? It's all getting a bit scary now, as I know only have a few weeks left of university. Where did the time go? April was filled with the end of Easter, so lots of chocolate, my brother's birthday and the beginning of the final year deadlines.

Food Review | Adam Handling at Caxton

If you recall last week's post, I mentioned Mum and I met up with a friend for lunch. Booked through bookatable, which I was totally unaware of before but it is great at finding great deals for loads of restaurants. The week before we had a little look and settled on Adam Handling at Caxton, 3 courses, glass of wine and petit fours for £32pp.

Recipe | Thyme Cheese Scones #CTGrowYourOwn

It has been so long since I've done a lot of baking, let alone a recipe post. I've gone savoury for once which is so unlike me. Cheese scones just remind me of that bit on Miranda where Gary makes savoury muffins and Miranda is so disgusted by the thought but alas I thought I would give savoury scones a go.
As part of the Cotton Traders Grow your own campaign I was sent a herb kit which included seeds for sage, basil and thyme plants. I have so little success with these herb kits so I'm hoping this attempt at growing may go slightly better!
After my mum had a rather successful homemade afternoon tea last week I decided to steal her recipe for the scones.

Life | London Birthday Celebrations

If you've been following me on instagram (shameless plug!) you may have noticed I took a little trip to London last week. We initially went to celebrate my brother's birthday but Mum and I managed to turn it into quite a mammoth trip and also managed to meet up with one of her friends for lunch. Even though I lugged my camera round for the two days we were there I forgot to actually use it and ended up taking a lot of pictures on my phone.
