New Baby Amazon Essential Shopping List!








Congratulations!  Your either about to have a baby or your baby is already here! 

I know from my experience being a parent is both exciting and also daunting, because everything has to be perfect for our little one! So to make things easier, here’s a list of items on amazon I found essential but also the small things we often forget! 


This list is for small simple things, I will most definitely be posting more on baby room content and so much more. 


Let’s get started 





1) Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: https://amzn.to/3XPo5uU

    • My son was super congested during the first couple of months and I tried multiple nasal aspirators this was by far THE best in my opinion. 

















2) Saline Nasal Spray: https://amzn.to/3kBaiK4 
    • I used this to soften up his thick nasal congestion followed by a Nasal aspirator to clear it up. 

3) Carpol baby paracetamol
    • My husband and I found this soooooo essential because, in the first months of life, they get several vaccines which often cause a fever. We were always prepared  



4) Syringeshttps://amzn.to/3iWs1uR
    • Useful for giving general medications including vitamins. 


5) Baby Mittenshttps://amzn.to/3XNx9QR
    • My son had baby eczema, which meant he scratched a lot. So having an extra pair. 





6) Nail Trimmerhttps://amzn.to/3H2sSlI
    •  I'm absolutely obsessed with these; I was amazed by how effective they worked in filing my baby's nails- no risk of cuts or injuries which is amazing! 


7) Baby Swaddlehttps://amzn.to/3WtsG4L
    • Super useful my son felt like he was still in mummy's tummy and helped him sleep so well. 




8) Satin pillowcasehttps://amzn.to/3iWnOY8
    • I decided to implement a satin pillowcase (without using a pillow) to my baby's cot, to help prevent friction with his head and minimise hair loss from friction. 






9) Baby Sensory Projector light
https://amzn.to/3J2MTeJ
    • My son absolutely loved this! beautiful projections of lights on the wall 



10) Bath thermometerhttps://amzn.to/3j0YGzl
    •  During the first couple of weeks, I found this super helpful as I was particularly nervous about water being too hot!

Nairobi, Kenya

Hey lovelies,

Kenya! My official last stop before my summer adventures come to an end and reality setting in. I've honestly had so much fun within a short period of time. Partied like a Kenyan, visited the safari, and more important reunited with my university housemate who relocated back to kenya.

Unfortunately, I was too busy having fun and totally forgot to take pictures.

To summarise Kenya in words- Party, Sleep, Party, and more Sleep.


DUSIT Hotel












Lanzarote, Canary Island.

Hey Lovelies,

My summer adventures have officially begun, and my first stop is- Lanzarote, Canary Island! Like myself, you may be clueless on exactly where this is or maybe you've probably never heard of it. Lanzarote is one of many of the Spanish islands. Tenerife being one of the most popularly known of these islands.

Lanzarote has many breathtaking locations, it is largely known for its Volcanic landscapes and scenery. These being things I was largely looking forward to explore. But more so, lying on the beach, spending time with friends,  and most importantly trying new FOOD!

I am residing at Hesperia Lanzarote Resort for the duration of this trip. Extremely beautiful hotel with anything you could possibly need found in one location. Here are a few pictures so far, who knows maybe I'll post more!




















Molly Bakes! FreakShakes



Hi lovelies,

Do you ever just go on instagram and explore food pages and look for new restaurants to visit? No? Just me? Well, I came accross Molly Bakes. Falling instantly in love I knew I just had to find it.

Molly Bakes is a relatively new small cafe that can only found in East London. It is by far the best and most inexpensive dessert I've ever had, and I most definitely will be going back.






Recently on Instagram!

The best dessert I've ever had! Post coming up soon!

Matou Pan Asian Restaurant Liverpool- Amazing food and great food. I'm actually considering this being the location for my graduation dinner.

A day in the Life of a 5th Yr Medical student in Accident & Emergency

Hey Lovelies,

I've seen quite a few medical bloggers do this, so I thought why not jump on the bandwagon while I'm still a medical student! For those who do not know, I am in my final year of medical school where I am currently doing my accident & emergency rotation. For this rotation my timetable is currently all over the place, some days I start at 8am, 12pm or 10pm!

06:30 Alarm goes off
  • It takes me a while to get out of bed. I snooze my alarm  at least three times before I get out of bed
06:54 Out of bed
  • I shower, get dressed
  • I did not have time to make breakfast so I just had some fruits.

8:50 Arrive in hospital
  • Have coffee in the staff room 
09:00 Start

Restaurant Hopping- Oblix The Shard London, KO Grill Liverpool, Moose & Moonshine Liverpool

Hey lovelies, 
I cannot believe how long it's been since my last post! I've just been busy doing nothing, as my mum would say. On the other hand I received some great news last week- I got a job! It's official guys, I'm going to be a working lady this August. Scary stuff!  
Okay back to the post. As you should all know by now, one of my talents is eating and graciously hopping from restaurant to restaurant.  Over the past couple of weeks, I've been to several restaurants in London and in Liverpool. Here are a few of my favourites so far, I recommend you try them all! 

Oblix Restaurant, The shard London
Oblix is located on the 32nd floor of The shard in London bridge, popularly known for its location and amazing view. The  view is breathtakingly beautiful, and really did live up to the hype. It was all very much sophisticated, as you would expect for a £65 per head private dining experience. It consisted of a Asian style shared 9 course meal, this excluding wine and refreshments.  I must admit the dishes were very delicious, and in very large portions (to that extent that we barely finished half). I was disappointed by the desserts, so disappointed that I didn't even bother taking a picture. 






KO Grill Liverpool
I love Indian food! KO is an authentic Eastern Grill restaurant located in the very popular Bold street. When it comes to Indian food I always order the same main- chicken biryani extra spicy! You can never go wrong. I did try something new this time, the Mango Lassi (as recommended by my very beautiful dinner date). It is a traditional Indian/Punjarb yogurt based drink. I fell in love instantly, to the point that I started googling how to make it. For appetizers I had their Tandoori chicken wings dipped in a spicy sauce.




Moose and Moonshine, Loverpool 
I heard a lot of good reviews about this Restaurant, so I thought I'd go check it out. It's an British/Canadian style menu, but my first impression was that it is an American style restaurant. The food was good, I was pretty full from just the main, which is unlike me. I do plan on visiting again, especially their partner chain Moose and coffee, to try out their brunch menu.   

This is a bit odd, but I am really obsessed with Chesterfield sofas, a part of me wants to be an interior designer.


Thanks for reading.

I hope to be posting a few more things within a week so subscribe and keep reading.
