Posted on September 28, 2020November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] In a time when we can’t really go out all that much, cooking at home has become a large part of people’s lives. I have always done a lot of home cooking, though I had not previously taken a cooking class. Larks Live has created a bunch of online cooking classes, all ran by different chefs, which can teach you how to make dishes in the comfort of your own home, live, on Zoom! Dann and I went for the Vietnamese Street Food Feast by chef Jazzi Curley, who has just opened up her own physical cookery in the Devon area! We invited our friend Claire over to enjoy the dinner with us and watch us cook too.

Disproving Myths about Refurbished Phones with giffgaff

Posted on September 21, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to getting a new phone, it’s always a big decision. I try very hard to keep my phone in good condition, so that it can last quite some time, as I feel phones are a large purchase that we make, that does need to last as everything is on our phones. I spend a lot of time on social media, taking pictures of days out, and generally using my phone for basically everything. It’s my calendar, it’s my connection to the greater world, it’s how I work.

I have previously only purchased new phones, waiting and using my cracked phone until I have saved up enough for a new one, before trading it off and ditching my old, on it’s last limb phone to a shoe box of deads in case I might ever need the images or texts off of them. Recently, however, I got the chance to check out a refurbished phone from giffgaff, which was far nicer than I would have ever expected.

How I Relax After a Long Day

Posted on September 20, 2020September 24, 2020 by Jupiter

2020 has been one heck of a year, so I wanted to talk about how exactly I have been relaxing in my free time. When it comes to self-care, you really do need to take the time to do things you enjoy and that relax you, so that you can recuperate! Being able to relax and having go-tos have been a really good way to calm down.

Cooking

I always love cooking, but particularly recently I have enjoyed cooking more and more. Creating small desserts and putting together menus of delicious foods have been a highlight. I have even attended a few digital cooking classes that I will be posting about soon! Creating delightful menus or just trying out something new is always fun and really helps keep your mind busy.

A Day Out at Circus Fantasia

Posted on September 19, 2020July 8, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

My eldest, Kai, saw the colourful posters around town and started asking about visiting the circus. Circus Fantasia, a traveling circus on it’s 8th year of show, was in our area for the week, with their new 2020 program. Jupiter had never been to a circus before, and when I had gone as a child, it was much too loud for my ears and I had a terrible time. Despite this, as Kai wanted to go, we set out to grab tickets up and spend the evening at Circus Fantasia.
