Eat, Move, Wear, Love, Link #72: Brighton!

I’m sitting here writing this post while it rains outside and I feel a million miles away from the (mostly) sunny time we had in Brighton last week! We had a wonderful few days break seeing family and friends, drinking too much coffee and spending all my money in healthy food hot spots. I discovered 42 Juice and became hooked on their fresh juices, nut milks and smoothies. The one pictured above was an ‘I am Glowing’ smoothie which tasted delicious! Eating was definitely my favourite thing to do…

I did have plenty more indulges than pictured including my aunts Lemon cake with greek yoghurt, fish and chips, a big pizza and ice cream sundae and some fudge with sea salt, but generally speaking I was quite surprised how much more I wanted those salads and juices!

Move

All week long: walk, walk, walk, walk!

We did SO much walking, I’m talking 8-10 miles a day once we checked our phone apps. Much of that included Finley strapped to me in the sling, so I certainly didn’t feel any guilt from the few treats I did enjoy!

Wear Buys

I’m cheating a little here and instead of showing you what I was wearing here are some of the things I bought! I always keep some savings aside for our trips to Brighton as I love to shop. Above are some head scarfs from Beyond Vintage, a vintage skirt, metallic purse from Warehouse and top from H&M.

I also bought this dress from Warehouse. It is fabulous, talk about the perfect dress for my shape!

Being with family and friends! My Auntie Maureen and Uncle Chris who we stay with, my cousin Beatrice who travelled down from London to meet Finley, our friends Paul and Karen and last but not least the lovely Christina and Lara. It was so lovely to catch up with them again! Also…

    It looks like you were very lucky with the weather in Brighton! I really must visit Brighton soon, it was somewhere I used to go a lot when I was a little girl. It’s now transformed into a health hub for all sorts of yummy healthy goodies! I love the look of the juices/smoothies/cashew milk. I’m not surprised you enjoyed eating so many lovely foods!
    Finley looks adorable in all of the pictures too, the one with your Uncle is very sweet.

    She’s So Lucy

    All that food looks so amazingly good! I would love to try that I am glowing smoothie. The Toasted tea cake with jam from Bills…Is that Bill Granger’s restaurant? His food is great! Brighton is so pretty, it’s on my list of places to visit.

      Nope (I wish it was!) I think Bills is a small chain, the one we went to was in Lewes. You should definitely visit Brighton its fab!

    Sounds like a fab week, walking 10 miles a day with Finley strapped to you is no joke I bet!

    What a fab time you had! Such gorgeous photos of the weather and you and your family and Finley- fab!
    Making me want to go back to Brighton already and I was only there a month ago!
    I love waling around when I am on holiday somewhere- you see so much, and then you feel better about having something like an ice cream or whatever :)

    It looks and sounds like such a fabulous trip to Brighton. I really love Brighton, I keep trying to convince Johnny to move there when we come back (his sister lives there)- would only be an nourish (depending on where you would work) door to door commute to London which isn’t bad when you get to live by the sea! Not sure I have swayed him yet ha.
    42 juice sounds awesome, I would have spend serious money in there too. I love the little necklaces you got too :)
    So happy to hear you had a lovely trip, so deserved!

    I studied in Brighton but I wasn’t into healthy eating at the time so I missed out on all the lovely food there. Only now do I realise how much I had at my fingertips. Brighton is so lovely and it looks like you had a great time. Lovely photos and Finely is growing so well.

    I love how you’ve introduced me to places I’ve never been before! I walk by the juice place so often, love their branding, but have never gone in. Will do soon! Love the photos, and so nice to catch up. Trout used to work with Natasha from Bat for Lashes, he said she is super nice if that helps!!
