20 Dates Ideas on a Budget



As some of you may know I am at university which means I am a student, therefore I don’t have much money at all. However, there are plenty of things you can do with that special someone for little money and still have fun. Some people may think going out and doing things will always cost money so continue to stay in and just watch tv most nights. Don’t get me wrong I love sitting with someone doing nothing, watching things and generally can find it relaxing. Though sometimes it is good to mix it up and get out of the house for a bit. 

    1.      Trip to the beach
I love the beach so much and being there I can find it so relaxing, strolling across the beach bare footed with someone special is something I love to do. Once you’re you don’t have to spend any money, just enjoy each other’s company in a new environment.  

      2.      A picnic
You can take your favourite food anywhere with a blanket and go sit on the beach, a field, the park or anywhere which is a perfect couple of hours to get to know someone or just nap.   

3.   Cute little Walk
Fresh air, fun and getting to know each other, not to mention its free.

          4.   Star gazing
A little bit cheesy, but grab a blanket and go lie down somewhere and just look up and stare at the stars. Appreciate what you have and how amazing something is so far away, take a snack and just chill.

          5.   Baking
Once you get into it and decide on something delicious to make, it can take up a whole afternoon just having fun making something whether its successful or not. Buying cheap ingredients to make a cake or something isn’t much at all and then you have it in the cupboard for a rainy day. 

       6.  Homemade Dinner
You don’t have to do the making together, just cook your other half a three-course meal and you can stick to something easy if you don’t feel confident at cooking. The thought and effort will go such a long day and hopefully they will really appreciate it. 

       7.   Pudding
Seem to be sticking to the food theme quite a bit, nonetheless everyone eats so anyone can enjoy it. If you’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth this is perfect, just treat yourself with a really tasty pudding. Even better on a cold day or night, tucked under a duvet all warm and snuggly, listening to music just eating something yummy. 

       8. Cinema
Getting out the house to see something new, not even having to speak to each other much if you’re tired from a long day yet still spending time together.  

         9.  Camp for a Night
This depends if you don’t mind sleeping in a tent, as it is not for everyone. Going to a cheap campsite for a night or even in a field or the garden. Getting away from technology to just spend time with each other cuddling. Make a fire, have a few marshmallows, bring all your own food and it will defiantly keep to the budget. 

    10.   Bowling
Going bowling whether you take it seriously or don’t can be more fun than you think as long as you try to enjoy yourself. Doesn’t cost too much so perfect for a cute little date. 

    11.   Museum Trip
So many museums are free, going and learning new things together whilst enjoying new culture. 

   12.   Art Gallery
Similarly, many art galleries are free, it’s not for everyone but worth giving it a try by having a quick look around, especially as it’s free. 

   13.   Ice Skating
Going somewhere to mess about a little, especially if you’re not very good it can be very funny. Something to do to keep active as it can be quite tiring, if you want to spend a little more.

   14.   Wine Night
Instead of just watching tv together or going out to drink which does add up cost wise. Just buy some wine or alcohol you enjoy and everything will start becoming pretty funny after a while. Even get a board game out which is so much fun with alcohol and certainly isn’t that competitive as your drunk. 

    15.  Workout Class
Go to the local gym and do a class together, you’ll feel good after from all the endorphins, generally a healthy thing to do together and is more motivating to go together. Doesn’t have to be full on or make you want to die after its over if you don’t normally workout, I’ve just been to a yoga or meditation class with someone which I found enjoyable. 

   16.   Couples Dinner Party
At the moment, I don’t think I am mature enough to put on a whole dinner party, however people I know will and it is a great idea. Making all the food with your other half, many people enjoy making new food and recipes and even better to share with other people. Sharing the night with some friends where you can play games all night and just have a little bit of fun. 

   17.   Making a Cosy Den
Doesn’t always have to be classy or a lot of effort put it. Grab all your fairy lights and place them all around the living room and light some candles. Put all your duvets and cosy blankets on the sofa, if you want to get some sheets and pin them up to make a bit of a den to get extra cosy. Buy loads of snacks, get into your comfy clothes and have a Netflix binge or watch films or night. 

   18.   Going out for Dinner
Plan a night to go out for dinner, dress up a little and make some effort for each other. Depending on your budget there is Wagamamas, Nandos, YoSushi and Ask if you don’t plan to spend too much. Then if you want to spend a little more Jamie’s Italian, Giraffe, Bella Italia and Byron. 

   19.   Site Seeing/Being a Tourist
Get a cheap train or bus ticket to the next city or somewhere new and go and explore. Just have a look around and get lost in a new place, there will be plenty of things to see providing its somewhere nice or near a harbour, then grab a cheap lunch at a café. 

Last but not least as it is one of my favourites..
    20.   Pamper Night
Have a relaxed night in, get together all your face products, pluck each other’s eyebrows. Do face masks, run an amazing bath with candles, bath bombs, salts and radox. Show him how to moisturise, exfoliate and convince him to give you a shoulder massage. Put fresh sheets on your bed and put on new pyjamas, getting all snuggly and the whole night will just give you the best feeling.

A Place to Visit.. Abu Dhabi

I went to Abu Dhabi two years ago today so decided it was only fitting to do a post about it, I know I am not a writer so this is just a little about my time in Abu Dhabi and how I feel about it. These are a few photos I took as it was literally the most amazing place, I would recommend completely and the photos defiantly don’t do the views and places justice. I just fell in love with everything.

My photos aren’t that great at all as I wasn’t that good at taking photos back then, I just took them for me and never thought I would post them on a blog otherwise they would have been a bit better. I would have loved to show you the hotel and big apartment we had but unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of it. Just at the time I never thought I would be sharing it with you.
In the future I hope to travel and explore all around the world and would love to share it with you, going to new places and seeing the world is my ultimate dream.
 The beach by far was my favourite place as I love beaches and this was like no beach I’ve been too, white sands, clear sea and stunning views, it was just so perfect. The beach was clean and beautiful, they had the most amazing sun beds and there was hardly anyone there. Even though it was about 45’C and the sand was so hot it burnt your feet and every now and again you had to run into the water as it was way too hot and sweaty, it was so amazing.









 Equally the Jumeriah Mosque was the most beautiful place I have been too so far, this is in Dubai which allowed non-Muslims to visit, defiantly google or search for it as my photos don’t do it justice. Out of respect you need to cover up as in most of the country they believe that should be the case for women, however because this is a sacred place it was a little stricter which we did respect. The Mosque had stunning detail and architecture and it was pure white, I can’t even explain how much I love it aha as you can probably tell.

 We also went for brunch at the Yas Island Viceroy that has a grand prix circuit going around it which is an amazing hotel. There was a massive spread of great food, we went to the top and the view of everything was so different to anything I’d seen before. A really great moment was cycling around the circuit which we did at night as it would have been far too hot during the day.

 We additionally visited the city Dubai and went to ‘The Dubai Mall’ that is a crazy big shopping place that has a giant fish tank inside and an aquarium plus many designer shops. We stayed and watched the Dubai fountains outside that many people go to visit and sat by the mega skyscraper the ‘Burj Khalifia’ which is 828m tall as it is the tallest structure in the world.

 The view from our balcony from the hotel, the red building in the distance is Ferrari world and the waterpark and to the left is the beach.







  
Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed as this is a slighty different post, please share with anyone you know. Let me know which is your favourite place in the world and that anyone should visit, love from Tishhlah xxx

Countryside Walk



A little post to show some of my outfits recently taken on a walk in the country, inspired mainly by pull and bear as I did quite a big order from there. I hope you enjoy!

 Top: Dressed in Lucy
 Jeans: Topshop
 Necklace: Handmade
I know as going into winter it is very cold so do wear a big coat over the top, however when your in the warm inside it is always good to keep your outfit vibrant still. I love this off shoulder top as it isn't too restricting or tight around just below my shoulders as it is elasculated. It is well fitted as goes over my bust nicely and isn't too tight around that area either, just a really light simple piece to go with anything.






 Shirt: Pull and Bear
 Jeans: Topshop
 Boots: River Island
 Bag: Calvin Klein
This shirt is covered in a print of tiny pink heart shaped sunglasses and I love it so much, it is just the cutest print. I have worn it with some light blue denim ripped jeans and think it defiantly goes with them more rather than black jeans. However the tone of the photos and all of the outfits I just put it together with black jeans to go with my black ankle boots.



 Bomber jacket: Pull and Bear
 Tee: Gap
 Culottes: Pull and Bear
 Trainers: Nike
 Sunglasses: Marks and Spencers
I have been loving culottes recently as they are such a comfy casual trouser to wear everyday. Similarly it has been a little colder so as they are almost full length it makes sense to me that I am still covering up and keeping warm. As they are pinstriped and quite a statement piece I paired them with a plain white tee and my dark blue bomber. As you can tell I live in Nikes most of the time, so i love i can wear comfy shoes with my easy to wear outfit.








This was an overload of pictures so I am very sorry, however i hope you enjoyed and got some inspriation for your outfits. Thank you so much for reading, I really do appreciate it. Please give my blog a little follow, as it means so much to me, love from Tishhlah xxx
