My Top 5 Fun Days Out In Nottingham

Tuesday 11 September 2018

Are you looking for some fun activities to do in Nottingham? Well here are my personal top 5 fun days out along with a video for each one so you can get a sample of what each experience is like.
5.Wollaton Hall and Deer Park
Just past the QMC about 4 miles out of Nottingham you can explore Wollaton Park and it's grounds.This beautiful building has stunning grounds and wildlife. There are cafe and toilet facilities which are on site near the hall. It is great for walks or picnics. Also, when it snows it's a fun place to go sledging.
4.Arboretum Park 
The Arboretum Park is an exquisite park full of wonderful trees, plants and water features. It's got a nice little friendly cafe with outdoor seating. The Arboretum holds events such as the Green Festival. Which I'd like to attend again this year. It's handy to get to because it's in central Nottingham on the tram route.
3.University Of Nottingham - Highfield's Park
This has a boating lake, crazy golf area and children's play park. The lake is calming and relaxing to walk around. There is limited free parking and also it is on the tram route. If it's raining then check out the gallery and exhibitions.
2.Lanes Garden Centre & Open Farm
On the outskirts of Nottingham in Breaston. Lanes Garden Centre & Open Farm is a lovely little farm with animals to visit and a shop to buy local produce.
1.White Post Farm
I liked feeding the animals and had fun on the pedal go karts. There are plenty of activities to do such as feeding the baby lambs, watching chicks being born, animal handling and more.
If you decide to visit any of these places then why not leave a comment or tweet at me @Bunnymoonstone on Twitter.

Trying On Autumn Clothes

Wednesday 5 September 2018

Are you looking for some autumn style inspiration? Well, you've come to the right place. I recently browsed around the city centre to see and try on the plus size autumn fashion that's available at this time of year. Find out by watching my video below :)
On this trip I visited New Looks and Dorothy Perkins. Some garments I liked, others I didn't and I also got stuck in a few as I was trying them on as they didn't fit (haha). I wanted to make this video to show what clothes like on a real person rather than on a mannequin or model. I'm 5ft 9 and a size 16/18. I have curves, scars, wobbly parts and cellulite. I'm loving the body positive community at the moment on Instagram. Diet culture and the media seem to only think that one type of body shape is acceptable. It's not true because all bodies are wonderful and they should be celebrated.
I'd love to make more videos trying clothes on so if you would like more then let me know by hitting the thumbs up button on the video or comment below to let me know to make a part 2. There's a world of clothes out there waiting for me to try on. What shops do you think I should visit next? Let me know in the comments below. I've missed a few shops such as Yours Clothing (I thought it was shut but actually it's moved upstairs.. oopsies!), Debenhams and Marks & Spencer.
