Whilst playing around with valentines ideas for my blog, I knew I needed to write a recipe that wasn't just about love and the 'perfect' valentines day. As a Twenty something year old Londoner striving for love and career success but finding single life and a string of dates not worth mentioning, of course I was naturally lead to the most relatable female character on the planet 'BRIDGET JONES'. I wanted to write a healthy recipe inspired by the iconic single lady, and a recreation of her 'BLUE STRING SOUP' seemed like the perfect idea..although this one contains no string and is super delicious.

So here is my recipe for valentines 2018. Dedicated to all the singletons out there, trying to succeed at life and love. Here's to a fabulous Valentines day filled with friendship, love and a super yummy bowl of  Blue String Soup Blueberry and Banana Smoothie.

The Health Benefits:

Blueberries are filled with antioxidants, which fight free radicles helping to keep your cells in tip top condition. The banana provides essential potassium and carbohydrate, whilst the oats provide fiber, preventing the fast absorption of the sugars, reducing blood sugar spikes and keeping you fuller for longer. 


The recipe:

Ingredients


  • 1 cup Frozen Blueberries
  • 1 1/2 Bananas 
  • 25g Porridge Oats
  • 3 tbsp almond milk 
Method:

Add the Blueberries, Banana, and Oats to a food processor with the almond milk. 
Blitz until smooth, add more almond milk if needed.
Remove from processor and add toppings (banana, oats, berries, nut butter, seeds).
Enjoy!

The Perfect Sunday Morning Pancakes (GF, DF, VG)

THE ULTIMATE SUNDAY PANCAKES 

Perfect for a lazy start to the day 






What is a Sunday morning without pancakes? The best part of my weekend is taking a bit more time on my breakfast and having a non rushed start to the day. Working in retail I do still have to go to work but I start later meaning I get a more lazy start to the day.

These pancakes can be enjoyed whether you have a set weight loss goal in mind or if you just want a nutritious but delicious start to the day. 

What makes these Pancakes good for me?


They contain Banana an essential form of potassium and carbohydrate. The oats are a form of fiber, this prevents fast absorption of sugar into the blood stream preventing blood sugar spikes. Covered in nuts-an essential form of fat will satiate you and keep your hunger at bay for longer. 



The Recipe:

Ingredients:

25g Oats (sachet of golden syrup if you want a sweeter pancake)
1 large Banana Mashed
Xanthum Gum 
Baking Soda
Spray Oil to line pan

Toppings

Handful Mixed Nuts
Agave Nectar 
Handful Cranberries 
1/2 a banana to top

Spray a frying pan with a couple of sprays of Oil, heat on a medium high heat.
Add mix to pan and wait for mixture to become less shiny looking, approx 2 mins.
Flip pancake and cook on other side.

Remove from Pan and cover in agave nectar, banana, and cranberries.

Of course there are many factors that effect the production of oil, including hormones, diet, and lifestyle, but here are some fail proof tips that I love that help you to wash your hair less & stay in tip top condition.

5 Minute Make up for On the Go

Being a 21st Century girl is tough! We are always on the go and that means we dont always have time to spend hours perfecting our look. These few products are small enough to fit in your make up bag, thrown in your day bag and can be applied on the go and touched up as and when you need, although they are all long lasting and never let me down through my day at work-and working in retail can get hot and stressful, if my make up can withstand that then it can withstand anything!

Happy New Years Day Lovelies!
I hope you are having a the best New Years where ever you are, whether you are nursing a hangover, out at work, or having a lazy day in in front of films.



This year I am giving a Bullet journal a go. I'm 100% one of those people who needs lists and organisation to function or else my life represents the jumbled mess that is the constant coming and going of ideas in my head. 

One aspect of Bullet journals that I love is a habit tracker. The idea of this is that you track aspects of your life to see how often you do them. The more you think about doing each of them the more likely you are to do them so it becomes habit, whether you want that to be daily weekly or monthly. You can then look through your journal and see if you are keeping to your goals
The NEW YEAR is all about trying new things so I have come up with 75 habit tracker ideas to inspire your own Habit Tracker Page.
