Manuka Honey
Pretty much finished packing and prepping for the flight. I decided to give myself a Manuka Honey facial. Manuka honey is great for the skin and body.
It is unlike regular honey as bee's feed on the teatree plant in New Zealand (the Manuka bush). My local city of Chichester has a whole Manuka Honey store so I had to make a purchase. It has anti inflammatory benefits and great for pimples, burns, cuts and infections. I suggest making a daily drink of Manuka honey and ginger in hot water or just lathering it on your face like I do for 20minutes. If you have a cold or sore throat then it will be extremely beneficial. Don't get too sticky...enjoy.
Can be purchased from Holland and Barrett in the UK or Whole foods in the USA. I suggest getting active 10+ or higher.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in track pants, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, "thats her".... -Harry Tottszer (from Australia) |

Bicester village
Had a lovely day getting my shop on in Bicester and Oxford, apart from all the size 16 dresses I had to wade through they had some really cute things. I came home with some Calvin Klein undies, a Narciso Rodriguez purse and a majorly reduced Dior ring.

Home has been such a refreshing break from the long days and headaches of gainesville. Recovering from surgery has been my main priority since I had the op 2 months ago. I think coming home has been mentally beneficial in so many ways. As the years go on you really are reminded of what matters in life, who you let in and who you keep at arms length and what you want in the future. Of course in Florida I have the sun, the beach, the facilities and some great friends but returning home for a couple of weeks and having such a great time is the greatest pleasure of all.
The first few days seemed a bit of a panic, I felt like I was a foreigner, no mobile, no adapter for my mac and no idea what any of my friends were doing.
I won't lie, after 4 and a half years I have been americanized (i have a yank twang that I usually try to drop within the first week of getting back) so it is always a little shock until I get back into the swing of things.
I've had a fantastic time, seen family and friends and met some great people and have a lot of funny memories to last me a while. I escaped the riots and it was beautiful and sunny for half of my visit. I feel that every time I come back I can gather my thoughts and find myself again. I always leave with new dreams and more educated thoughts on the world. I forget all the worries I had before. It's true to say "there's no place like home" My friend's are so amazing, they're all so strong and beautiful and I am so lucky to have you in my life.
I travel to Australia in December im so excited!! The next time I will be back is for the London Olympics...
As Boris Johnson said... "the buses are ready, with their hop on, hop off" and I will be ready also.
