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!

Its a well known fact that Pizza isn't the lowest calorie option out there, and its more than fine to indulge in your favorite Pizza take out from time to time.

How I Make My Hair Last A Week.

Im a big fan of leaving my hair alone. I love letting it grow long and in order to do this I need it to be strong. Over washing your hair strips it of essential oils, prompting it to over compensate and produce more, leading you on a slippery slope to grease city.

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.

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!

I've put together a selection of my favorite pieces which you can shop by clicking any of the images below.

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.
