Cocktails at the Club House

The weather has been so beautiful lately, so last week my best friend Liv and I decided to take a trip into Liverpool to go and have a somewhat sophisticated evening at a lovely new restaurant that has opened in Liverpool one. We thought it'd be nice to make a little bit of an effort, put a nice dress on and go out to have some drinks and a good chat. 

We picked the loveliest evening to go and visit the Club House in Liverpool One, it was just the right temperature to be able to sit outside with a cocktail and look at the pretty surroundings. The restaurant itself reminded me very much of the Newport Bay (for all the Disney fans out there) which was probably why I loved it so much. Every time Liv and I have made an effort to go to the Club House we haven't been able to get a seat as it is extremely popular with the people of the city. However, we were lucky enough to find some seats on the balcony; and it really felt like we were on holiday or maybe on a cruise. 

It took us quite a while to decide what we wanted from the menu, as we were debating over a pina colada but decided we probably only wanted one of those so that we could sing the song. We soon chose and both went for the same 'Sex on the Beach' cocktail that we get almost everywhere. When in doubt, it's the one thing we order. However, we're used to the rubbish cocktails you get in Wetherspoons in a pitcher that has a hole in the bottom, so when we saw these cocktails all nicely presented and looking very snazzy, we just couldn't wait to try them. Well, they didn't disappoint. It was gorgeous, I'd put it up there with one of the best cocktails I've ever had, I wanted to order another one but sadly my bank account wouldn't allow me to do so. 

It's safe to say that Liv and I felt very grown up and sophisticated being able to sit on a balcony drinking cocktails and watching the sunset. It was definitely a change, and a change we both loved. We sat and just laughed, chatted and sung along with the awesome singer who was playing some pretty cool tunes on his guitar. We both kept commenting about how happy we were to just be there, it was the perfect girly evening with my best friend and I just loved it.

In true Meg and Liv style, we ended the night by going to McDonalds and getting a box of 20 chicken nuggets to share on the train home. It seems our sophisticated streak didn't last for long!

We'll definitely be visiting the Club House again really soon, and if you think you'd like to visit then I'll leave a link to their website here so you can check out menu's and things like that! 

Lots of Love,
Meg

Weekly Update │Wolverhampton, Reunions & New Specs

14/05/2016 - 20/05/2016

This week has been very exciting; I've had a lot of time to reflect on the things that matter to me and thanks to the help of my wonderful friends, I'm learning to delete negative energy from my life. I've been all about positive vibes this week and although I've had my down moments, it's really helped to keep me grounded and happy. At this moment, things seem to be falling into place and they're actually starting to make sense. I can see people getting happier and that makes me happy too. 

│Loving│

This week Charlotte, Liv and I went to see our friend Kathryn in her University performance. We travelled all the way to Wolverhampton to be able to support her and honestly I've never been so proud. It felt strange at first, because we're so used to being on stage together but once we got over that we cheered and danced along with her. We got her some flowers and a card as a way of saying congratulations and in true Kathryn style, she cried. Every time I've given her flowers she's cried; it must be something we're doing wrong. 

I'd like to take this moment to say how much I love Wolverhampton. I've visited once before but didn't get to see as much of it as I would have liked. I was expecting it to be a complete dump but it's actually really lovely; it's much nicer compared to where I'm from. We found the most beautiful gardens outside the Arena Theatre and it felt like we were in a different part of the world. We'll definitely be going back to visit Wolverhampton and Kathryn very soon. 

If you want to see all of the things we got up to in Wolverhampton, including our emotional reunion with Kathryn, then check out our VLOG. 

│Hating│

If there's one thing that's really been getting on my nerves this week, it's people who can't take no for an answer. I just wish people would respect your decisions and support you in what you choose to do instead of having to push for what they want you to do or make you feel guilty for saying no. My happiness is more important than your expectations of me. 

I've also been hating bullying this week. I think it's absolutely disgusting how someone can be made to feel so small and ridiculous by a group of people who think they're better than everyone else. I genuinely feel sorry for them; their lives are so boring and pathetic that they have to pick on someone else just to bring themselves a little bit of joy. Seriously, grow up. 

│Listening│

There has been one song that has been on repeat for me this week and that song is 'Hair' by Little Mix. I've not been able to stop singing it, I didn't actually like it at first for some bizarre reason but now I just can't stop listening to it! 

│Wearing│

In last week's update, I mentioned that I had been for my eyes tested and spent £50 on some new glasses. I went to pick my glasses up this week and when the optician called me over to try them on, I looked in the mirror and thought "What the hell have I chosen?". This always happens. Anyway,I got them home, wore them around the house for a bit and now I actually really really like them. I think they suit me much more than my old glasses did, although Mum thinks I look like a librarian. 

│Eating│

Again, a lot of jacket potatoes have been consumed by me this week.

We went into Starbucks quite a lot this week, once in Wolverhampton and then again to meet our friend Rach who'd come home for the weekend. I'm so completely obsessed with the Starbucks s'mores chocolate and marshmallow frappucino. It's one of the nicest drinks in the history of ever, it makes me sad they're going to take it off the drinks menu soon. 

│Feeling│

A mixture of happy and proud. 

It's been so nice to be re-united with my friends from home, it makes me realise how much I miss being around them but also how strong our friendship is. We can go a month without speaking because of hectic Uni life but when we meet up, it's like we never stopped speaking which is lovely. Being able to watch Kathryn perform this week made me so proud; she's so talented and is definitely going far. 

│Moment│

The highlight of this week for me has been being able to go to Wolverhampton. We felt like we were going on a little holiday and seeing Kathryn's reaction when she saw us with flowers was the cutest thing. I also made a lot of new friends as we got to meet all of Kathryn's flatmates. I love meeting new people, it's so much fun! 

Lots of Love,
Meg

A New Adventure...

For a very long time, YouTube has been something I've wanted to try. I don't know what it is about it, but sitting in my bedroom and speaking in front of a camera seemed pretty fun. However, I didn't want to do it alone; I'm not confident enough to do something like that without someone by my side.

So, who better to create a YouTube channel with than my best friend Liv?!
Wait what? Have we created a YouTube Channel?? Yes. Yes we have! It was something that happened very quickly; we filmed out first video and created our channel all on the same night. The aim for us is to make videos and vlog our daily lives in order to share them with whoever wants to watch. We make each other laugh so hopefully we make you laugh too! 

Today, May 1st 2016, we uploaded our first video to our new YouTube channel, and it would mean so much to both of us if you could watch, like, comment, subscribe and all that jazz! We filmed the 'Most Likely To' Tag video thing and it was so much fun to film. It includes sing-songs, bloopers and a lot of laughs! 

Let me know what you think! 

Lots of Love,
Meg
