It's been a minute since we did a chill vlog! We are starting off strong with some new home updates that are truly transformative. I feel like the new furniture has really made the rest of the house

Another month has flown by! Let's get into some favourites from May and I will also cover my reading recap in the 2nd half of the video. This past month has been full of discovering new scents that I have fallen head over heels for. I love to smell good and I love when my home smells nice so this has been a big win. Also, how did it take Lululemon this long to come out with the no line align pants?! Anyways, they were worth the wait in my opinion. If you are kind of a data nerd when it comes to your health, definitely try the free trial of athlytic if you have an Apple Watch. It's fun to correlate what happens during the day with the outcome of the stats.

Welcome to my Throne of Glass heavy month. I am officially re obsessed and don't want the inevitable end to come. Are you a SJM fan? If so, which of her series is your favourite?

We spent the bank holiday weekend celebrating Murphy's birthday in London. As you may know, we LOOOOVEE to eat and we have had our eye on a few places we've been wanting to try out in London. Come along with us for a mostly food centric vlog trying some hot spots around London. Of course we also had a little shop around and show you our haul as well as a quick trip to do some VR golf. VR Golf : Pitch Soho - https://pitchgolf.london/venue/soho-clubhouse/ (1:14:07) Bonus: An art gallery had a Bob Dylan art exhibit while we were in town so spent some time admiring before lunch. Halcyon Gallery - https://www.halcyongallery.com/bob-dylan/ (21:44:00) Restaurants we tried! (I recommend all of them and already dream about eating at each place again). River Cafe in Hammersmith - Incredible Italian food, fresh pasta, and in-season ingredients. A great celebratory or special night out spot. https://www.rivercafe.co.uk/ (3:29:39) The Devonshire - if you like steaks it is a must do. Be prepared to book your reservation 1 month ahead the day they become available because they go quick! https://www.devonshiresoho.co.uk/ (13:10:46) Chisou - Very fresh fish if you like sushi. They have other dishes to accommodate the non-sushi lover but its a nice little spot to hit up. https://www.chisourestaurant.com/ (17:29:01) OMA - if you like mediterranean style food this is also a must do. The oxtail dish is honestly a top 5 favorite in my life. So salty and savoury it knocked my tastebuds out of this world. Another one to reserve well ahead. https://www.oma.london/ (22:40:33)

Welcome back for part 2 of my Iceland trip with friends! This second half of the trip is probably my favorite and most memorable. I highly recommend renting a car and driving up north in Iceland. We got so fortunate with the weather whilst we were there, but take note that the weather varies a lot in Iceland. I must recommend doing a glacier hike in your lifetime since they may soon be gone. Truly the most crisp and fresh water I have ever had and not too difficult. I would love to return and try a more challenging hike in the future. Another OMG moment was of course seeing whales! First time for me seeing them in the wild. We saw a total of 6 humpback whales on our tour and I admit it, I cried. Such beautiful, gentle creatures. (We did whale watching through Whale Watching Akureyri - https://www.whalewatchingakureyri.is/) Of course we had to continue our lagoon stops, with our favorite being the Forest Lagoon just outside Akureyri. As someone with Finnish blood, their dry sauna was top tier. Note on the Myvatn nature baths - they are indeed naturally heated and therefore heavily smell of sulfur if that bothers you. I am so sad this trip is over and have already been thinking about what I want to do when I can go back again. See you for a new vlog featuring Murphy's birthday extravaganza weekend soon!
