A very fun February
At the start of this year, I decided that I wanted to expand my life a little. Things had gotten a bit samey, and I wanted to break the monotony; try new experiences, learn new things, and meet new people. My plan worked! Four weekends and four fun, new adventures. February was packed full of activity, and I had a great time - which would you try?
Ok, this one wasn’t completely new for me, but it was for my (American) friend Paige who I took along with me! I love being able to introduce people to new experiences so I very much enjoyed this, whilst laughing at her trying to eat a scone like a sandwich.
What was new for me, was doing it drunk. Having not seen each other since our respective trips abroad over Christmas, we decided to go for the champagne option and spent the afternoon catching up on each other’s drama over tea and tiny sandwiches.
Lemon Meringue Pie Masterclass
This was such a unique event, I'm very glad I got to experience it. I spent the morning in Shoreditch constructing my very own version of Gloria's massive 8” lemon meringue pie at a class in their wine room. After handing out all but one slice to everyone who would take some, I’m three days in and it is still going strong! I really enjoyed the whole format of this LOTI class, so I’m hoping there’ll be some more that catch my eye over the next few months. (spoiler: I've already booked 3 more)
I wrote a full post on this if you’d like to read more about it.

Floating sound bath at The Mandarin Oriental
I've done the odd sound bath before. The first time I did it, was in Australia and I had a bit of a strange out of body experience so I've been interested in these types of experience since then, but always on solid floor until now.
Keen to try a floating sound bath, I booked one at the new Mandarin Oriental in Mayfair which included four hours of spa access after the session. It was a really wonderful experience, regardless of the crying it triggered, and I look forward to doing it again.
Matcha Masterclass
Other February highlights include:
As someone who drinks matcha laced with milk and sugar, it was really interesting to do a matcha masterclass and get to experience it in its purest form - before lacing it with sugar and milk. I learnt a lot, met some great people and I got to try making my favourite drink from scratch.
- The sun finally came out so I spent a lot of time enjoying it by the river.
- I got gifted a lava lamp which was very exciting.
- Went to the Science museum.
- Celebrated Chinese New Year in Mayfair & Soho
- Visited 2 rooftop bars (it's been a long winter!!)
- Got roses on Valentines Day
- Tried sunset yoga
