Travel master

So yesterday I came back from London to Mexico! Finally I had been waiting for this moment for a loooong time, I just needed a break and to see my family.

To start my trip I went to Heathrow airport Terminal 5 which is one of the biggest terminal in the entire world and is like being in a huge shopping mall. Is almost impossible to leave without doing any shopping. Me, the organized freak that I am had eveything already planned. After security and checking in with enough time I decided to go and buy the food I was going to take on the plane. You must be wondering why is she talking about that? That is the most boring thing ever! Well it isn't I have come to the discovery that the food you choose to take on a plane is very important. Last time I had a capuchino at the airport, took a muffin from Costa with me which I had during the first meal they served but after that because the muffin is not the most smart item you can find I was hungry so I ate a special K, which didn't help that much so I ended up having to eat the food they served which wasn't all that bad, but I don't like plane food. So this time I was smarter, that's why I recommend you plan your snacks beforehand. This time I chose to have a capuchino at the airport which filled me up for quiete a while, bought a berry yogurt from pret(this kept my full for a longer period of time and has more nutrients and less sugar than a muffin) and afterwards I only needed some nuts and almonds I bought in EAT to keep me full (because of the protein and fat they have) until I came home to home-made pizzas my nanny made from me. See I planned my day and I made smart choices and when I came home I wasn't in a bad mood because I was extremely hungry, I didn't over eat in 11 hours of flying and I was able to eat as much pizza as I wanted (I think I over did it, but it was totally worth it).
Now back to the terminal, which is extremly dangerous for your bank account. They have an entire floor of duty free with MAC, JOE MALONE, Harrods, Ted Baker, also they have Prada, Gucci, Jurt Geiger, Mulberry, Reiss... I mean how can you not at least spend 2 hours doing window shopping?
I have to admit I'm guilty and I ended up buying something which I now have to pay by the end of this break, totally worth it tough.
 As for British Airways...I have to say is good that is a direct flight on a Friday because you get here at 6 in the afternoon which is pretty decent, but the flight is not so amazing. The staff is really nice, but the food is pretty bad, they barely give you things to drink in 11 hours you are sitting there, and the movies are old and there is not a huge variety. Would I do it again? Yes, because I like not having to stop and have 2 flight and because I was prepared and had my snacks and enough watter and cokes to have a nice time but if you do it just know to be prepared and plan. Specially if you are picky about food and the movies that you like. Now I'm off to have an amazing break and enjoy Mexico as much as I can. Until next post. I leave a picture of the thing I bought, Heathrow is definetly dangerous for my credit card.

Last weekend!

This weekend was a very good weekend specially because is the last one before I go home!

Saturday: I woke up early and did some yoga and some stretching. Then I was kind of hungry so I went to Costa and had a Capuchino, but I decided to be healthier and istead of having the muffin I usually have I ordered a Banana - Walnut mini loaf which is smaller and has less calories and more nutrients. (The muffin is like you are eating a piece of cake for breakfast, still good but not as healthy) Then I walked back home and worked on my essay, which was good because I finished it, so I only had the last details to do before printing it. My plan was to do some last shopping before going home so I went to Topshop, Urban Outfitters and walked around that area. Unfortunately I didn't like anything, so no new clothes. But I'm dying for these shoes so if you see them and want to make me really happy go for it.

Afterwards I went to wasabi to get some sushi and rice for lunch. Just a nice little treat since it was the last weekend I could have it for a month. The afternoon was pretty quiet. I saw Young Adult with Charlize Theron and I DO NOT recommend it at all.

Sunday: Woke up- Gym- cleaning, pretty boring- standard morning. I went for a walk and I found this place where you could get a manicure for 5 pounds so I got one hahahaha. I made myself lunch which I have to admitt was pretty good, mozarella and tomato sandwiches are always a good option and they fill you up!
In the afternoon I wanted a frozen yogurt so I went to Hampstead, but the store was closed and I was really dissapointed. Until I discovered an other ice cream shop in that area which is really nice and I recommend everyone to go visit it. The place is called Slice of Ice, all their ice creams are natural and organic and they have amazing flavours. I had a vanilla and peanut butter one.

But I also noticed the Hampstead Creperie, which had a line of about 50 people. So I'm definetly going some time when it's not so busy and I don't have an ice cream in my hand. Here's a photo I found on the internet.
