A Follow Me Around Vlog // Pottery Painting & Food Markets | Lily Pebbles

Introduction

In today's adventure, I'm all set for a day of fun and creativity. The tarot cards have predicted that things are looking up for me, and I plan to make the most of it. With my pheromones pumping and sporting a vibrant red outfit, I feel like the charismatic Jerry Lottery King. But don't be fooled, I'm not actually rolling in money. In fact, I recently had forty dollars stolen from me. But hey, that won't dampen my spirits because today is going to be a nice day – filled with fun and enjoyable activities.

Time Off for Fun

Today, I've decided to take a few hours off from my usual routine to do something special. These are the kinds of things I used to do on weekends, but I don't have the same freedom with kids around. So, it's a treat to have this time to myself. I'm really excited and looking forward to it.

Swallowing Pills and Life-Changing Tips

Before I embark on my day of adventure, let me share a little life hack with you. Someone once told me that if you look down when swallowing a pill, it's way easier. I tried it, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! Life throws us unexpected tips for improvement, and this one has certainly made a difference for me. Whoever shared that nugget of wisdom, you have my eternal gratitude.

Section 2: Pottery Painting and Culinary Delights

Pottery Pleasures

First stop on my agenda is "Social Pottery" in Kentish Town. It's been on my bucket list for ages, and today I finally have the opportunity to go. Thanks to a voucher from my sister, I have a two-hour session to unleash my creative side. Now, here's the funny part – they only had the boozy pottery painting sessions available. Yes, that's right – you can paint pottery while sipping on your own alcohol. It may be noon, but the option is there if I feel like getting a little tipsy with my artistic endeavors. But don't worry, I'll keep it classy.

A Colorful Palette

As I peruse the choices at Social Pottery, I can't help but feel overwhelmed. There are so many pottery options – bowls, plates, mugs, and more. I want to do it all! After much deliberation, I settle on a mug as my canvas. My plan is to paint the inside in one color, the rim in another, and create a tulip print all around. Maybe I'll even add a squiggly line on the handle. The possibilities are endless, and I'm excited to see my vision come to life.

The Joy of Painting

With my mug in hand and a paintbrush poised, I dive into the world of pottery painting. It's a relaxing and calming experience, almost like grown-up coloring. I find myself engrossed in the process, completely in the moment. Hours fly by, and before I know it, my masterpiece is complete. Well, almost complete. The colors will appear much darker once the pottery goes into the kiln. I can't wait to see the final result – an orangey coral interior, a vibrant green top, and a deep red tulip design.

Foodie Paradise

After my pottery adventure, it's time to satisfy my appetite with a visit to Camden Market. Now, I have a love-hate relationship with Camden. It used to be one of my favorite spots, but it became overrun with tourists on weekends. However, today is a weekday, and I'm hoping for a more pleasant experience. Plus, there's a whole new area of the market with an array of delicious food options that I can't resist.

A Gourmet Feast

As I wander through the food stalls, I'm overwhelmed by the choices. From cheese wheel pasta to honey butter fried chicken burgers, the options are endless. I can practically taste the flavors just by looking at them. I decide to exercise portion control by sharing dishes with a friend, allowing myself to sample a variety of flavors without feeling too stuffed.

Culinary Delights

One of the highlights of my food adventure is trying the popular halloumi fries. These crispy, cheesy delights are served with pomegranate molasses and minty yogurt. With each bite, I'm transported to a state of pure bliss – it's a taste combination that's truly out of this world. And of course, I can't resist trying some chicken tacos with guacamole on the side. The spicy kick adds an extra level of flavor that keeps me coming back for more.

A Sweet Finale

After indulging in savory delights, it's time for a sweet treat. I stumble upon a stand that sells Dutch pancakes – the perfect size for a delightful sugar rush. Nutella and strawberries seem like the obvious choice, and I dive into a pancake filled to the brim with these delicious toppings. It's a messy affair, but the blend of sweet strawberries, creamy Nutella, and fluffy pancake is worth every sticky moment.

Section 3: Wrapping Up a Soul-Nourishing Day

The Joy of Discovery

As the day draws to a close, I reflect on the wonders I experienced. From nurturing my creative side through pottery painting to exploring a world of culinary delights, I feel energized and alive. It's days like these that remind me of the importance of taking time for self-care and indulging in the things that bring us joy.

Farewell for Now

As I bid adieu to Camden Market and make my way home, I can't help but feel grateful for the day's adventures. It was a day filled with color, flavor, and a dash of spontaneity. I hope you enjoyed coming along for the ride and were inspired to seek out your own moments of joy and creativity.

Until Next Time

Remember, life is full of exciting possibilities waiting to be explored. So, embrace your inner artist, savor culinary delights, and create your own soul-nourishing experiences. Until our paths cross again, keep seeking out those moments that make life truly worthwhile. Goodbye for now!
