Thorpe Park in the rain

As a reward for being a super-duper employee, Rich was given 2 tickets to Thorpe Park courtesy of his work. How amazing is that? Every business should reward employees with theme park tickets! Unfortunately, it was heaving down with rain, but did we let that stand in the way? Of course not!

We bought tacky ponchos and I was delighted to find they sold pink ones! Funnily enough, theme parks are usually best in the rain. They're a lot quieter and people tend to accumulate in the covered areas so the queues are much shorter. We went on Saw in the pouring rain and it was hilarious! I made the mistake of leaving my hood up and it flew right into my face so I could see absolutely nothing! At least I stayed dry! Rich was shouting "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" around the whole ride as the rain lashed his face and afterwards he looked like he'd just stepped out of the shower!

Review // Lush Oxford Street Exclusives pt I

Ooh, Lush! Lovely, lovely Lush! I was super excited to visit Lush Oxford Street a few weeks ago and managed to get my hands on a few of the exclusive products, although not nearly all 200+! One day, perhaps!

In the photo above, you can also see Superbalm and Rub Rub Rub which I won't be reviewing here as they're not exclusives (and I've already reviewed Rub Rub Rub) but, let me tell you, that tub is the size of my face!

If I had to sum up the Lush Oxford Street exclusives in one word, it would be "glitter". I get the feeling that there's someone in the factory saying "You know what would make this better? GLITTER!" If you're not a fan of sparkly bath bombs, I'd stay well away! 

101 in 1001 XXVII

I made a little mistake with my new 101 in 1001 goals. They're all pretty ambitious! This means my monthly updates aren't going to be quite as packed as the last set. In fact, I couldn't publish an update last month because I'd only achieved one goal! So consider this my update for April and May!

#53 Write a book

I'm starting to! You can read all about it here and I'm hoping it will be available early next month!

Book Landing Page Reveal!

As I've mentioned once or twice over the past couple of weeks, I am writing a book! Of course I am super duper excited and want it all done now now now but it's taking some patience (unfortunately!)

However, in the meantime, I have written up a landing page with all the information about my book. Whenever there is an update, it will go up on the page so all the details will be in one place.

A stay in York with Travelodge

I do love me a good Travelodge so I was over the moon when I was invited to stay at York Central Travelodge for a couple of nights. A chance to explore a historic city I had never before visited! Needless to say, it was a great trip!

Plus Size Polkadot Swimsuit

I adore swimwear but, as someone who is both plus-size and quite... ample in the bust department, it can be very difficult to buy. Either they're sold in generic sizes, which never fit my top, or they're available in cup sizes which rarely reach my size. Then, of course, when I do find something to fit, it's usually plain and dowdy. So imagine my delight when I checked out the House of Fraser swimwear department and found that they have swimwear up to a 36H! Rejoice!
