Beats&Bevs 140-145

What am I supposed to do when my mind is on holiday but I still have one exam to sit and do? I just want to read, blog, do random activities. I just want this to end already..

Listening to Bad Day by Daniel Powter

A very lazy Thursday with black tea for drinks. I'll continue lazing around in front of the laptop.

Oh and I watched the latest episode of Pretty Little Liars.. Love-hate relationship with cliffhangers!!!

Today was a relaxing day. Went to the hospital in the morning for day's physiotherapy session followed by a cafe/restaurant by a lake. Had some tea with my creme brûlée, love! Spent the rest of my day reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (still doing so)

I really don't have an excuse for posting this today. Had this cup of tea yesterday morning before class and for some reason made me SO hyper, something tea doesn't usually do to me!

I'm working on a practical right now that requires me to weigh caterpillars twice a day and weigh the food they have eaten, fun stuff :)

Today was a day of. Spent my morning making pancakes and my afternoon (2-5) in an AIESEC assessment centre, interviewing people who are considering going abroad for internships. Spent my time after that catching up with Pretty Little Liars, it's getting intense!

Been drinking tea while watching pretty little liars and will catch up with some reading now. I'm on the second book (The Scorch Runner) of The Maze Runner trilogy.

It's the first time in the history of my uni life do I have a day off. That's going to be a Wednesday day off every week for the coming 5 weeks. Pretty excited really :D

I've been catching up with season 3 of Downton Abbey and I'm on the last episode now. Determined to finish it before I go to bed

For today, my drink of the day is this cup of cranberry & pomegranate tea. Smells amazing!! I forgot I had it until I started cleaning up my kitchen.

Beats&Bevs Day20

Another day of tea!! I'm back in Leeds after a lovely stay in London. It's not snowing here like it was in London, not sure how I feel about that (grateful or sad). Back to uni work, tomorrow is the first day of our second semester. Hope it goes easy on me!

Whoever loves Pride & Prejudice should be proud of me watching the movie for the first time. I think I should read the book because I didn't really like the movie. Did something pretty amazing today, made one of my friends use the underground, pretty fun experience :D
We also spent some time at the Waterstones in Piccadilly and got a bunch of books to start reading in a while.

Green tea and mint tea today!!

Beats&Bevs #18

Another day in London spent eating. That's only what we did today, eat! We had brunch at Baker & Spice and later had dinner at Hakkasan. My sister is finally here and it's been snowing almost all day today!

Had jasmine tea at the end of our meal, so relaxing!

Dead tired and I have my last exam tomorrow at 9:30 am. Trying to revise as much as I can but its just not working. I also decided to drink camomile tea and I'm regretting it. Its making me feel so lazy! Can't wait till I'm done, right now I don't care for that 1st class mark, I just want to pass and never look back.

Will be going to London for 4 nights after my exam. Some relaxation before starting the next semester!

Hello readers!! :D

I've been very English today and had 3 cups of tea. I understand why the English people like it, what's there not to like about it!!

One of my friends got me my favourite biscuits from Oman and the next cup of tea I'll be making will have these biscuits on the side to dip in!!

Listening to: Candy - Robbie Williams

Back in Leeds with a horrible start. My blackberry got stolen while I was having lunch with a friend in McDonald's I managed to get a replacement sim but the phone is gone. To cheer me up, I helped myself to a cup of Lemon&Ginger tea in the afternoon and now having a banana-oat smoothie with strawberries. I'll leave you with the pics and the recipe for the smoothie

Listening to: myself breath.. was studying while having it :P

Listening to: Young, Wild & Free - Wiz Khalifa feat. Snoop Dogg

Banana-oat smoothie recipe: 

Martha Stewart website

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

• 1 banana, cut into thirds

• 1/2 cup fat-free milk

• 2 teaspoons honey (the more the better, I added 2 tablespoons)

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Strawberries (optional)

Directions?

Blend everything together!

Very easy and I think I'll be making myself smoothies for breakfast from now on. I don't like the oat aftertaste but I still like the smoothie

What was your favorite drink today?

Playing: Take That - Rule the World

Today was a good day Beats&Bevs wise. Most of the drinks I had were in the hotel trying to celebrate my sister's birthday with whatever we had around us. I am trying to reduce my coke addiction (no, not that coke!) as my belly is expanding by the day I could be mistaken for a pregnant lady. Doesn't look good especially that I'm stick thin. So, instead of my usual coke with my burger for dinner I had fresh orange juice! A cup of tea always makes me happy after a meal, makes me feel lighter.

In the hopes of making the next 365 days more exciting I decided to do 2 things. Take a picture of myself everyday for the next 365 days and also take a pic of something I drink during the day/night and the music playing on the background. So I decided for the sake of keeping my blog alive I'd do the drinks & music project. Now I know I have failed in completing my A-Z project but ah well I'll make sure I complete it one day. I'm not really sure what to call this, I got suggestions along the lines of "Sips&Lips" as well as "Beats&Bevs" (bevs short for beverages) from my sister and cousin. Not really sure what to go for. But for now I'll go for Beats&Bevs, if you can come up with something better leave it in the comments below :D

Here is a Beats&Bevs for day 1:

Playing: Los Herederos by Pio Leiva, Maria Elena, Raul Planas & Lazaro Relles

This morning I had a cup 2 cups of peppermint tea at the hotel for breakfast. We had to move to another hotel and had a quick breakie before leaving. Had to shazam the song to know what was playing on the backgroud (yes, I'm using the most of my iPhone) :D
