Where have I been?

Hi everyone!

First and foremost, apologies for the unexplained hiatus. In all honesty, I became a bit caught up in the excitement of summer and... Well really there's no excuse, and I just haven't written anything.

However, that is about to change! 

I am bubbling with ideas and thoughts sparked from the past month or so, and am ready to share them with you. I'm making a solemn promise to be consistent! Posting at least once a week is my goal.

All the love,

Helena xo

Helena's American Adventure | Where to eat in NYC & Chicago

Hey guys! I thought I'd start off September with a little series of posts. It's named with an appropriate level of cheesiness, " Helena's American Adventure ". I was lucky enough to be able to explore New York and Chicago with my Dad, and want to share my thoughts on my trip across the pond. I make no shame of the fact that I am a spoilt little Daddy's girl. I am provided for (and then some) by my Dad extraordinarily, and need to start this series off by thanking him, as it is hard to put into words how grateful I am for such an amazing holiday, and Dad in general.  We all love food, right? So to start off, I thought I'd show you some of my favourite places to eat in New York and Chicago. My dad and I are very much foodies, so rest assured you won't be let down if you do end up paying them a visit! P.S. A quick disclaimer, I am not writing this to show off, brag, etc about anything. I am so fortunate and grateful to have experien...

Thoughts on failure | Helena Busia

I have always had a fear of failing.   I've found it to be my greatest motivator, and greatest curse, throughout my life. I'm pretty confident in estimating where this fear stemmed from. I narrowly missed ( And I mean narrowly- 1 bloody mark! Not that I'm bitter or anything... ) the pass mark for the "Eleven Plus" exam. Just like that, I differed to all of my classmates who were deemed "worthy" of an education that I, somehow, was not deserving of. There, within that pale envelope, was the black and white proof that I was a failure.  Ever since then, I have strived for near perfection, fixated on never having to experience that crushing feeling ever again . It's been a motivator throughout my life, providing me with the mantra "Why bother doing it if it's not done well". Largely, it's worked! Full marks in my English coursework and an excellent (bar maths!)  academic record, I have found my perfectionism to work out ve...

Where to eat in Austin | Helena Busia

Hello! I haven't written in eons, I am aware. Rather than bore you with a lame list of excuses, I'll just give you one- I started university! I have been far too busy necking jägerbombs and eating cheesy chips and gravy to blog. I do apologise. I was fortunate (*cough* spoilt *cough*) enough to go on another wonderful holiday with my Dad this summer. We went to Austin Texas, and New York City. Of course, we ate wonderful meals, and I thought I could do a little guide for anyone visiting Austin, as I think it's a really underrated place to visit, and has incredible food.  It goes without saying that I have the best, most generous, kind, incredible Dad in the world (Sorry bout it). So I have to say a huge thank you to him for taking me on an amazing trip. Dad, I love you.  So without further ado, here are my thoughts on where you should eat in Austin. 1.
