Clos Maggiore

Hey everyone!

I back! Its always feels so long between blog pots now! I should post more often! What do you think? Anyway, last Saturday (the 19th) I went out to a restaurant in Covent Garden, London called Clos Maggiore and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

I had high expectations of this place since my parents had been going there for years and had always been going on about how good it was. I can definitely say it lived up to expectations! The food was presented so elegantly and tasted so sensational! You can't match that taste with ANY supermarket food! There was never enough! With the starter and the main course you got bread. It was all handmade and tasted amazing! The desert was incredible! It was presented so well and tasted even better! It was an unforgettable experience and was made all the better by the wonderful staff.

After, it was 10pm and I was walking round Covent Garden. It was so quiet yet had a buzz about it. That's the thing with London. It can be so quiet yet have this magical buzz about it. As well as that, there are so many hidden gems in London. Its such a big place and there are so many hidden treasures that nobody knows. I came across a busker who was so good and deserved so much more credit. I may not know your name, but I hope you get the credit you deserve from this! He was just a voice and a guitar!

I had such an amazing time in Covent Garden and especially Clos Maggiore. The amazing thing is that you can just walk past it and not give it a second looking! I would love to go again some time!

My new diet and fitness regime

Hey again!

This week I went back to school after the Easter holidays, like many other schools around the UK. And this term I've decided to really change my diet and make it a lot healthier. As well as that I've decided to do a lot more exercise to try and get fit. As summer is soon approaching I really want to get fit and loose weight and I feel like that if I share this with you it will help me stick to it. I really want to lose about a stone in weight. Hopefully I loose all of that and I'll definitely let you know if I do!

To help me loose weight I have decided to change my diet. Before, I would eat loads of carbs and not many vegetables. As well as that I would have really bad snacks and grab the first thing I could, which was usually biscuits. Now I eat a lot less carbs and have upped my intake of fruit and vegetables. I am now trying to always eat at least 5 pieces of fruit and vegetables a day, if not more! Yesterday I ate 6 and I hope I stick to eating about the same. Its actually easier than you think to eat 5 pieces of fruit and veg. If you try it you'll see that's its actually easier than you think! Also, I have changed my biscuit snacks to much healthier things such as fruit. As well as that I am trying to drink a lot more water. Before I would only ever drink water at school or with my dinner during the week whereas now I am trying to drink a lot more. I am trying to drink more water at school and dinner as well as other times of the day.

As for fitness, I am trying to get on my exercise bike more often. I try to get on it every day if I can but I am very busy sometimes with my workload so I can't all the time but when I can I do. I also try to do squats as well and star jumps. One day I might get Charlotte Crosby's 3 minute belly blitz and 3 minute bum blitz. Either that or Vicky Pattison's 7 day slim. Maybe even all of them!

That's it for now and I hope you have enjoyed this post and getting to know a little bit more about my personal life. I keep updated on how it goes and how much weight I loose. I will also be giving weight loss tips if you want them too. I always enjoy comments and hearing about what you enjoy. Thanks for reading!

Bucket list!

Hey!
So, I thought that this week I would let you know a little bit more about me and give you my bucket list, everything I want to do before I die. I'm still young and I can't wait to do everything and live life. So lets start!

  • Swim with dolphins! I love animals and I really love hanging around in pools so this would be perfect!
  • Go to America! I know that quite a few of my readers are from the states and I really want to go there and see you all and visit the country. It seems so much fun! I really want to go to Florida, LA, Boston and New York.
  • Go to Dubai. Dubai seems like a really interesting place with a lot of sun, which is the total opposite of where I live! I love travelling and really want to see the world.
  • Make a youtube video. I've mentioned this in a previous post and I can't seem to think of what my first video should be! I've been thinking of the bean boozled challenge. Would you like that? Help me out guys!
  • Do a makeup course. I have mentioned before in the 10 facts about me post I love makeup and would also love to become a makeup artist. 
  • Meet Little Mix. These girls are amazing and I have been supporting them since day one on X Factor. Meeting them would be a dream come true. It would be unreal!
  • Go to Coachella. As I've already mentioned I really want to go to America one day. Coachella seems like a perfect thing to do while I'm out there!
  • Go to the Summertime Ball. For anyone who isn't from the UK, its a concert in Wembley stadium, where a load of artists, from around the world perform to 80,000 people. Generally, tickets are sold out within hours of them going on sale.
  • Go to V festival. Again, another UK music event which attracts thousands of people.
  • Get dip dye. I love being creative and would love to experiment with my hair but unfortunately my mum says I can't at the moment!
  • Meet Nathan Sykes. If this happened my actual 11 year old fangirl would be in heaven!

So, now you know what I want to do with the rest of my life! I will be keeping you updated of what I do and if I actually do any of these I will definitely be writing a blog post about it! I love this blog and was once something that was actually on my bucket list! I've ticked one off! Thanks for reading as this is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Part of me can't actually believe that people are reading this! It all feels really surreal at times! I love every second of writing this and every view I get. Love you guys and stick around for me.
