10 Reasons To Be Getting Excited For Spring

Image
I'm feeling really refreshed today, after that good cry I had yesterday (who knew I needed one that desperately) I woke up a completely transformed woman! I had a little (big) play around on my lovely new iPhone and did a teeny bit of housework, when one of my college girls text me and asked if I'd like to go out with the girls this Saturday, like proper 18 year old, legal, Saturday night clubbing... I was so happy I squealed, and that made my day so much better. And then I realised, it was nearly spring. I know technically spring is miles away, but for me, spring starts March 1st. Spring to be honest, is probably my least favourite season, it's just a cheap version of summer except fresher, but it's not winter! The days are starting to get longer which I'm so happy about because my skin has been blessed with Vitamin D and sunlight and all good things. So I thought I'd compile a list of reasons why I'm desperate for spring to arrive in full swing. I know

Currently Listening To... (4)

Today is a good day, if you'd have asked me if it was a good day a few hours ago though... I wouldn't have been able to answer without swallowing a mouthful of tears and drowning. I haven't cried in a while, and crying is an essential thing that keeps us people from going absolutely crazy in this world. So when I had accidentally smashed my phone up into pieces.. it was the final straw and I collapsed onto my bed crying harder than I have in years. But then I realised I'm working very soon, if not next week and that I can afford to take out a new contract... and alas, here I now stand (well sit) with my brand new iPhone 6. After accidentally flushing the last iPhone down the toilet, I am absolutely ecstatic to be have my favourite phone again. That is why today is a good day, because I got a new phone, and nothing is as exciting as setting up a new phone, honestly. You Don't Own Me - Grace Ft G-Eazy , this song was huge around Christmas time, and I loved it, bu

Sunday Brunch Omelette Recipe

Image
Nothing feels more perfect than lazying in bed late on a Sunday morning, kittens curled up beside each side of you purring their little selves away while you check up on social media. To then come down stairs, pop the kettle on, and cook a good old brunch. It has become a recent tradition of omelette cooking on the weekends due to buying an omelette pan not too long ago. Every omelette, every weekend is differently made depending upon my mood, I've put together a recipe for my omelette which has a little bit of every flavour, for those Sunday mornings I'm feeling more adventurous. I use: Red onion Mushrooms (closed cup) Ham Vegemite 2  eggs Garlic salt Pepper Cheese I start with beating my eggs together in a jug so that they are ready to be poured into the pan later. I crack two eggs into a bowl, and add a lump of vegemite. Yes, it takes a veeery long time to mix the vegemite properly! The vegemite adds an extra flavour to omelette, if not vegemite, there's als

Worth The Hype? LUSH Bath Products

It's the 19th and I've only done three posts this month! What is happening!? I haven't been able to do anything productive this week because I've been babysitting everyday, and I haven't felt the best as my body is so all over the place at the minute. The past two weeks I've become absolutely besotted with Dancing With The Stars, which English TV isn't blessed with. I found out that Janel Parrish was on it (Mona from Pretty Little Liars) and then I was obviously found out about Val Chmerkovskiy and fell a teeny bit head over heels, and I've been on YouTube watching all these dances, absolutely in love with the show and trying to figure out how I can become famous and get myself on the show so I can dance with Val. I'm writing this post, which has nothing at all to do with Dancing With The Stars, because I've wanted to buy LUSH for years,  it was just one of those things that you just never get round to investing in. However for Christmas I fin

Nutella And Syrup American Fluffy Pancakes

I have been so neglective of my blog lately, it's not that I don't want to blog because I do, just like I want to get out of bed and get dressed and be productive. But I'm not doing that either. I seem to be at a complete standstill with everything at the minute and I'm not all that sure why, I'm not exactly unhappy, I'm just tired and lacking in motivation and suddenly it's the 11th and I've done nothing this month! It was Pancake Day three days ago, I made American style pancakes all by myself, the first time I flipped one it fell and I got batter all over the cooker, twice one fell on the floor, but generally I got the hang of it and made them all to semi perfection. No egg shapes this time around. I'm not going to write out the recipe I used, just link it HERE and share the photos I took of them. Originally I was going to use the recipe Zoella recommended, but if you don't own a machine that mixes everything for you it's practically imp

The Playlists: Feel Good Brunch Time

Image
I just realised what day it is, and that I don't have anything I'm currently listening to... unless I'm in the kitchen cooking something. So like I mentioned in the last post about doing my own 'playlists', I though I'd just make this post into a playlist post because it works better than making a Currently Listening To. I've been having a lot of mushrooms this week... Secret Love Song - Little Mix ft Jason Derulo , I spoke about this in my last Currently Listening To, and I'm still listening to it. That's why I haven't really got any current songs. But this song is the perfect way to start off brunch because it's so good to pour your heart out and dance like a princess while cracking eggs and boiling the kettle. Sex - The 1975 , generally I go to this song next, I think this was also in my last Currently Listening To, and since then I've loved this song more and more everyday, it's something a bit more dance-able so yo

Life Lately: The January Round Up Edition

The monthly round ups are back, as am I for that matter, I can't believe it's Friday and I haven't posted yet this week! It's not been the most productive of weeks that's for sure. The week has been full of Secret Love Song's from Little Mix's, cooking brunch, kitty cuddles, and re-watching Victorious. So I'm gonna sit down and catch my blog up with my goings on-sies and commit myself to posting more. It snowed this month and I forgot to do a post on it!! I'll add a few photos throughout. First I'm going to check up with my resolutions. My blogging resolutions have been rubbish, my fitness resolutions have been touch and go, healthy eating is touch and go, keeping my room tidy... well, it took me three weeks to get my floor 100% clear. But myself? The work I have been doing on myself, my mind and happiness.. has been perfect. I'm starting to really be content in myself, I'm learning to push myself and reward myself for being pushed
