I’ve been wondering why I’ve been having so many weird, stressful dreams recently and I’ve finally realised what the probable cause is… I listen to too many murder podcasts! No wonder my subconscious is messed up… Every evening when I come in from work I stick on a podcast episode and listen to the host’s…

10 Netflix Originals You Should Be Watching
Read moreI’m notorious for having a thousand TV series on the go at once. I’m not a big fan of binge watching (unless something has cliff hangers at the end of every episode – ‘Heroes‘, I’m talking to you!) So I tend to have a lot of series going on at the same time and I…

Why The UK Ivory Trade Must Stop!
Read moreOn October 7th 2017 whilst we all went about our leisurely Saturday’s, hundreds of people showed up in London’s Parliament Square to protest the UK’s part in the world ivory trade. Whilst tourists and civilians walked by, people of all ages stood in silent protest for half an hour, holding fake bloodied tusks and wearing…

My Camping Weekend At Knights Stainforth
Read moreI never liked the idea of camping. If you had asked me this time last year if I would like to go camping for a weekend in Autumn, I would have probably laughed in your face, said ‘ABSOLUTELY NOT‘ and proceeded to explain why. (How gross you feel when you wake up in the morning…

Gin Night At The White Hart Hotel
Read moreGin has recently been growing on me, adding another alcohol to my list of favourite bevvies. I don’t drink fizzy drinks but I sure drink alcohol… Don’t even get me started on Slingsby’s rhubarb gin – mixed with elderflower tonic, it is possibly the tastiest drink around… and therefore possibly the most dangerous! So give…

How To Make The Most Of Your Disney Cruise
Read moreWhen I tell people that I worked for Disney Cruiseline, so many people are surprised because they had no idea that Disney did cruises! If you live in America it may be a different story, but in England nobody seems to know that it’s a thing. (And you should because the Disney Magic ports out…

The Wedding Singer UK Tour
Read moreThe Wedding Singer soundtrack is one of my favourite musical soundtracks of all time. The songs are fab with an infectious 80’s vibe, the lyrics are hilarious and when you blast it loud it sounds epic. The finale never fails to give me chills. (Not to mention there’s so many great auditions songs for girls,…

How To Enjoy The Last Weekend of Summer
Read moreIt’s the last weekend of the summer holidays for most people – aka, school kids, parents, teachers… (Although did summer ever actually arrive this year? Old, grumpy sun worshipper, me.) Before the humdrum of going back to school again, send the summer holidays out with a bang, or a nice day out! Here are some…

I’m ‘Nuts’ About My Allergy
Read moreAfter watching clips last night from a recent ‘This Morning’ episode, I felt the need to write about it. In this episode they were interviewing a fellow colleague, Amy May and her parents, regarding the allergic reaction that nearly took her life, but instead left her brain damaged. They also had posted a poll to…

Friday Thoughts – Frivolity And Figuring Yourself Out
Read moreSometimes we need to take a step back, take a breath, and realise just how lucky we are. It’s easy to wallow in self pity when something isn’t going your way, but after you’ve spent a couple of days milling it over, you should really be looking onwards and upwards. If there’s something you’re unhappy…

10 Ways I Failed At Adulting This Week
Read moreI don’t think I’m ready for this adulting thing. To be honest, I doubt I will ever be equipped for it. I suck at it! I may be nearly 25 and have just moved into a flat by myself, but it feels like I’m kind-of just playing pretend for now; pretending I’ve got my life…

My Top 5 Best Brunch Spots In Downtown Toronto
Read moreIf you know me, then you know that breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. The pastries, the egg combinations, the meats, the avocados, even the cereals; I love everything about it! So as you can probably assume, brunch is my favourite, because it makes it socially acceptable to eat breakfast at any time…

Please Don’t Let Me Be A ‘Non-Person’
Read moreA couple of years ago I said to myself: “At 24 years old, I’ll figure it all out. My career will finally start to make sense and it will be the best year of my life.” (Let’s all laugh together!) Well, I’m half way through the age of 24 now and I’m still waiting for…

Leeds Gin Festival 2017
Read moreThey say that there is no finer pass-time than drinking with friends… Well, I don’t know who actually says that, but I do think it is pretty good mantra! Some of my funnest social occasions have been when alcohol is involved – sorry you sticklers out there, I have more fun with alcohol! And Saturday…

6 Things To Do In 6 Months
Read moreWell, I’m baaaaack! Back home. Back in the U.K. Back in Yorkshire. Back in my favourite place in the world. Even though I’ve lived in several places, and explored many countries, there’s no place like home. As I have returned with half of the year already gone, I figured I would get excited for all the…

Tea Time At Mama Doreen’s
Read moreAs I’m leaving the country at the end of the week, my time is currently spent doing a mixture of packing, panicking, and squeezing in goodbye’s with all my friends and family… So a fitting ‘see ya real soon’ with my friend Lucie (who owns Destination Beauty in Harrogate), who is always dressed in the…

A Tranquil Lunch In St Lucia
Read moreSometimes when your lifestyle involves darting from country to country each day, trying to see every exciting thing there is to do in each place can be exhausting. Sometimes you just want to have a lazy day where you wake up late and go out for a coffee, or lunch with a friend, instead of…

A Weekend In Northumberland
Read moreIn less than two weeks, I will be leaving the UK, for 8 months, to live and work in sandier pastures. So these weeks that lead up to my departure have been critical for rearranging my life – resigning from jobs, saying goodbye to friends, planning how much Dairy Milk chocolate I can physically fit…
BEAR WITH ME!
Hi everyone and welcome to Elisha Blogs!
My site is currently under some serious reconstruction due to my previous theme failing and leaving me without a site. I am trying to get my website sorted but am experiencing some teething pains with the new theme.
So apologies for the dysfunctional layout right now – I hope you can see past it and enjoy reading my posts. Hopefully Elisha Blogs will be back up and running as normal soon! 🙂
