Brunching with gusto The brunch market is pretty extensive right now as let’s be honest, going for brunch is way better than going out for dinner, but Gusto has just levelled up the pre-lunch dining offering in York. Most people don’t know that Gusto have a brunch menu and it’s an absolute hidden gem, in particular in such a beautiful city in a restaurant just a stone’s throw from the Minster. I was invited down to review their menu and I took my mum along with me. The menu covers off all of your brunch basics but I decided to go for pancakes as wanted to go for something different – usually I’m a savoury gal at breakfast time. The dish included three pancakes with Greek yoghurt and fresh berries and was absolutely delicious. I’m absolutely rubbish at making pancakes myself (mainly as my last attempt included trying to cook them in a wok...) so having them when I’m out feels like a treat – clearly I’m fairly easy to please! Mum went for a full English and I must admit, the food envy k...

Hi guys and welcome back to Lolly’s Secrets. Long post alert!!! Today I looked in the mirror and still couldn’t recognise myself. Why? Well because…I decided to cut almost all my hair off! Yes! I know! Kind of a drastic measure...It was time though….I was finally ready. In the “natural hair community’ it is called the “big chop”. Basically a decision to commit fully to going natural which means cutting off all the hair that has been chemically straightened from relaxers, leaving the curly or coily hair texture. But for you to understand this radical decision, I’ll need to take you back...all the way back some thirty something years ago. The early years So when I was a baby, I barely had any hair on my head. Like...seriously! My mom, till this day,  always goes on and on about how she's so confused as to how I grew up to have all this hair!  I had bald patches up until I was about 3 I think. And then by the time I was 5 i had a full head of hair. My mom didn't have a clue what...

Wagamama White Rose Leeds I’m already a big fan of Wagamama so I’m sure you can imagine how happy I was to be invited to visit their restaurant at the White Rose Centre in Leeds to review it. I must admit, it’s one of my favourite Wagamama restaurants as the branch sits a little separately from the centre, meaning you don’t feel like you’re eating in the middle of a load of shoppers but at the same time, you can easily hit the shops after work then head for a bite to eat afterwards. I headed there with Maz for a girly night with plenty of food and naturally we spent about a week planning what we were going to have to eat. Wagamama has a few new additions to their summer menu including a couple of glass noodle salads and even a vegan katsu curry which I’m sure is a gift from the heavens for every vegan out there! We both decided to stick with what we knew and went for our favourites on the menu. Maz had fried duck gyozas and I went for pulled pork gyozas to start, both of which were i...

Hello everyone and welcome back to Lolly Secrets! I gave you a little teaser into this series earlier in the week on my Instagram , and for those of you who know…. you know that it’s not an easy one to talk about. This post is revealing a secret that has a special place in my heart - not necessarily the way you think. I've been thinking about it and I've realised that, over time, I have felt some type of way about the feelings of unrequited love that seem to have settled into a pattern in my life. I feel this is especially significant in friendships, Particularly best friends. Some of you might say “how can you have unrequited love with a best friend?” or “how can you feel like it's unrequited love when it is something to do with a friend or best friend and not a romantic relationship?”. Well…!!! What I can tell you for a fact is that there IS such a thing as unrequited love between friends or between best friends. And I can say this because ...I’ve experienced this. Trust...

I keep in mind the primary time I burst out in anger at my young baby on the ripe ole age of two months, the first component to strike me is the feeling of GUILT. All for the duration of the initial month or so after delivery, I felt that I must achieve a stage of superhuman electricity, persistence, endurance and tolerance. "Being a mom is like that", I changed into instructed. Like what? Like a superhuman? Not understanding what my toddler desired at that factor in time left me feeling helpless. I attempted the entirety inside my power to satisfy him and make certain that his needs are responded. His cry is by no means left unanswered. I felt this pressing want to ensure he is smiling, goo-gooing, and guffawing all the time. The second he is fussy, I panic. In the face of the sort of hard situation, moms will often experience helpless and might not realize what to do. When they have exhausted all hints in the e-book of fantastic parenting, they may start feeling pissed off....

I love my mom. I mean I really love my mom. She is the "stuff" that 'good moms' are made of. She is kind, selfless, patient, honest, and unconditionally loving. She is an excellent example of what the man upstairs may have had in mind when he created mothers. To say my mother is among my dearest friends is one of the truest statements I could make. When I was growing up I thought my mother was perfect, or nearly so. She rarely appeared to have a bad day. She could find the silver lining in nearly any situation. She loved my dad, and even smooched him in the kitchen every now and then. And, yes, even though I pretended to be completely appalled at my parent's "PDA" I secretly loved it. Because of my mother's excellent example I believed that motherhood would be relatively simple. Although I knew I would have my moments, I was certain there would be many moments that resembled a Hallmark greeting card or a Lifetime Television movie. I thought love for ...

Hi and welcome to Lolly’s Secrets!!! I'm so glad that you decided to come on over and read some of my posts! This is my first post so I’m a bit nervous! But I would like to thank you so much for exploring my blog and my thoughts! So why did I decide to start blogging? I remember telling friends and family “listen… I think I'm going to start a blog” . Some were like  “finally! somewhere for you to put all those "funny" thoughts!” and others were just like “oh!”  (raised eyebrow) and they were so confused like “you really want to start a blog?”. “why would you want to do that?”, “why would you want to air all your dirty laundry”... “All your “secrets”?!”, “Gosh! I couldn’t do that! It’s such an invasion of privacy” .  I thought about all of this and went back and forth trying to make up my mind whether I should or shouldn't go ahead with it. In the end, I just decided, you know what?, why the hell not? Why not start a blog? Why not share the thoughts that go on in...
