After a busy and brilliant first day, our second day wasn’t looking any quieter. But who really goes to New York City to relax?! I was particularly excited for day two- the day of Central Park and the Empire State. And I assure you, it didn’t disappoint. The day went from a quiet park walk […]
Last week I hopped on a plane with my best friend Tarryn to take on the Big Apple. The city of big lights, big skylines and big names. After Tarryn insisted we go to New York to see her favourite band, Tegan and Sara, we only had a few months to save up and plan […]
In the days leading up to a race, I channel my love for organisation in every way possible. A plethora of to-do lists on the notes section in my phone is the centre of this organisation. I have separate to-do lists for things I need to buy (maybe bananas quite a few days before so […]
The start of my afternoon off on Thursday began optimistically. Aaron and I headed to Tesco and I felt rather festive. It took everything in me not to purchase every packet of trick or treat sweetie bags but instead focus on my pumpkin-picking. I am only a recent lover of Halloween; having begun to really […]
Since visiting Rome in the summer, pasta has constantly been on my brain. The food was just as you’d expect it to be, and while I can’t replicate the sights that accompanied my dinners, I can definitely try and pretend I know how to make Italian dinners. I have been making this chilli chorizo gnocchi for […]
It’s become a tradition for me to buy new running trainers once a year in late August or early September. I begin really focusing on my Great South Run time; a run that takes place in Portsmouth in October. Although my last two trainers don’t need chucking yet, because I run a lot, they get […]
Aaron’s a manager at a Mediterranean restaurant. He loves calamari, his dog Bud and his new double bed that takes up his whole bedroom. You can find Aaron over on Instagram or somewhere on the South Coast doing something silly with his friend Jacob. He’s Binging on Beetroot’s first guest writer and has written about his fabulous […]
For the boyfriend’s 21st birthday, my mum gave him a meet a giraffe experience (Aaron’s favourite animal) which, by extension, meant I was able to go along too. Months later, Aaron and I finally booked the trip for August and it had been something we were both really looking forward to. Even though I couldn’t […]
Slicing my arms through the inviting water at my gym is my favourite way to start a day. I rejoined my gym at home since moving back from university and decided to bite the bullet and buy an all-inclusive membership, swimming pool and all. As much as I adore running, no day feels more accomplished […]
Last week I holidayed in the beautiful blue Port de Pollenca, located in northern Mallorca with a promenade of restaurants, bars and gift shops that overlook the lovely bay. I visited for seven days with my boyfriend and his family, as well as his sister’s boyfriend. I stayed there about seven years before and the […]
