London by night

Took a trip to Victoria, ended walking to London Waterloo so took a few photo’s of beautiful London at night…

 

So pretty!! We love our city

Happy 2016!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (SORRY WE’RE LATE TO THE PARTY).

We’re already over a week into 2016, and surely most of us have been thinking about New Years Resolutions…some may have even given up already! (tut tut)

But we’re here with our top 8 resolutions that we really want to stick to for a healthy, fun and exciting year.

1. Eat clean – Yes, we know, clean eating is a bit blah blah blah, we are the WORST for sticking at it. But it’s easier when you have a partner or a friend who is looking to change their diet too. We want to start feeling good on the inside as well as looking good (as far as we can manage) on the outside…
2. Carry on with gym – Which brings us onto the dreaded 3 letter word. Seriously though, last year we were on a major mission, going to the gym 4/5 times a week! And we actually enjoyed it?! As the year progressed we started slacking, this year we’re going to pick up the pace again!
3. Let go – Sounds deep and kind of intense, but letting go of negativity in your life is one of the most fulfilling things you can do. Whether this be letting go of any negative people in your life, moving on from someone, or – perhaps a bit more scary- leaving a job you’re unhappy with. Life is too short to carry negativity around with us so this year we’re trying to let it go (sorry if you now have Frozen in your head…..and sorry if you actually didn’t but now you have).
4. Travel more – We both adore travelling, visiting new places and exploring. This year we are desperate to carry on visiting some awesome places around the world.
5. Post here more! – One of us posts more than the other…*me* but overall our presence here sucks so we will definitely be posting more this year 🙂
6. Sleep more…also less – HOW DOES THAT WORK?! I hear you cry. Day napping? guilty. Not able to sleep at night as a result? guilty. Less sleeping during the day for a longer more satisfying sleep at night!
7. Look after ourselves – It’s easy to forget that we need to look after ourselves; bodies, mind and soul. This year we want to focus on making sure we take care of ourselves.
8. Get our shit together – Last but not least…this year is a big year for us as it’s our last year at uni. It’s time to figure out what we want to do after! And work hard in our independent projects!

 

Just a little pic of us last night!

So there are our resolutions. We’ll let you know how we get on…

We’ve been away

So we may or may not have forgotten our password…

Hence why we have only just been able to update the blog about Barcelona!

Our bad.

But it was amazing, a beautiful city with such gorgeous architecture and great galleries. Night life was incredible! Worth the hype? Yes, but you definitely felt the presence of many English tourists…so if you can, it’s nice to go places that aren’t such tourist “hotspots”.

Check out our gallery for some pics 🙂

10 things we hate about London

10 things we hate about London

Yes, London is one of the most influential cities in the world, and part of us does have a lot of love for it. But it smells. Like really bad.

1. Transport – It sucks. The tube is the bane of our lives. You pay oh-so-much to be shoved under someone’s armpit and have some business man read the newspaper over your shoulder, all to go one stop because people are too lazy to walk. Buses are ok unless you are travelling in peak times in which case AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. As with the overground, that quite often is like ‘nah ya know what, I don’t wanna run on time kay thanks enjoy your day’.

2. Pervs – Somehow they are more creepy in London.The kind that will stare you down until you give some kind of response. Even if it’s a middle finger, they are just happy you acknowledged them. London etiquette is to avoid eye contact at all times, clearly these guys missed initiation day.

3. The Smells – We could do a whole post on just the smells of London. Take our road, a short 5 minute walk and you WILL be blasted by the following smells: gas, egg, poo, piss, car fumes, curry and pizza/general grease. And puke if taking a late night stroll. Happy smelling.

4. Tourists – Sorry. But you drive us insane. Put your selfie stick away because literally no one cares and you’re in my way. The London pace, everyone who lives or commutes here understands that you follow the London rush. Tourists do not get this. You have all the time in the world before your next train? No one cares, you run for that train like it’s the last one. We will also accept a fast walk.

5. Oxford Street on the weekend – Whatever you do, don’t go to Oxford Street on the weekend. Unless you have a fetish for large crowds who will crush every inch of your bones to get into the Topshop Sale. Speaking of a Topshop sale; prepared to be dazzled by chokers, flatforms and black nail varnish courtesy of annoying indie girls. Just saying.

6. Chicken Shops – Now we don’t hate them, we actually have a love/hate relationship with them. We will most likely do a whole other post on the variety of the cheap chicken shops and their hilarious names. But they are on this list because there are just so many of them. North London is chicken shop heaven.

7. The Expense – Oh you wanted a cup of tea? That’s £4.50 please, plus 12.5% service charge and it’s rude not to tip don’t ya know.

And now a short story by Vanilla and Caramel; an example of a night out in central London – Enter bar with crazy entrance fee, purchase 2 drinks, 1 shot and a mixer each. Neck it because it’s served in a tiny glass. Get the bill. Bill says £19 please. Cry. The end.

8. Foxes – If you think you don’t have a pet then think again, you have a pet fox. They are creepy and seedy, and make extremely annoying noises when you are trying to get to sleep 😦

9. The many types of people – There are some seriously crazy people in London. The other night we were given a business card by a man selling weed, coke and ket. It was very stressful. In addition, when walking in Camden be prepared to have 20 mixtapes (from the 20 best new emerging hip hop artists) shoved in your face. And possibly abuse shouted at you if you do not accept said mixtape.

10. Pushy promotions – Cue Brick Lane and it’s countless Indian restaurants who ALL INSIST YOU NEED A CURRY. A whole Curry for £3.99 in Brick Lane…It’s a thing. And don’t forget the nightclub promoters who will literally give you head to get you into that club. Girl or guy. They have no preference. They will find you.
