My Three Favourite Blogs

My Three Favourite Blogs

Wednesday 24 May 2017

I love blogging and I love reading other peoples blogs. I go through phases of what kind of blogs I like and read however these are my current three favourites that I am in love with.

1. Nerd About Town
I started reading Stephanies blog probably around 8 months ago. I have loved it ever since, she posts about everything from confidence to fashion and beauty. Stephanie is one of the many bloggers I aspire to be like. She is beautiful and the honesty in her posts is appreciated. She speaks the truth about her own vulnerablilities and honestly she has been a huge motiviation for me to keep blogging and has helped massively with my personal confidence.

2. Life as Lois May 
I feel like Lois Mays' blog and mine are similiar in many ways. we blog about similiar things and we are also both students the only massive difference is the fact that her flatlays are significantly better than mine. Lois May is relatable and definitely one of those people that seem truelly genuine.

3. Poppy Deyes 
I feel like I couldn't write this list without adding Poppy to the mix. I have no doubt that you have probably come across Poppy's blog. She's definitely one of the bigger bloggers out there and for a very obvious reason her content is intereting, relatable and her flatlays are beautiful.

I obviously could've added another ten bloggers easily to this list however I wanted to keep this one short and sweet.

Do you want to know more of my favourite bloggers? Do you love any of these bloggers as much as I do?

Why I'm studying Politics and Some Questions For You.

Why I'm studying Politics and Some Questions For You.

Sunday 21 May 2017

Okay, as you may know, I am doing my BA majoring in Politics and Psychology. I have spoken about why I am studying psychology so many times and I am sure you all know why however I never speak about politics on here or on any public space mainly because it is a huge argument starter and I'm not into that. The reason I decided to study politics was to understand the world ewe live in more and how it works. At the end of the day, most of us have the decision whether we vote or not and while I have always understood that it is important to exercise that right it doesn't mean I have always understood how politics works but not only that what happens in terms of politics internationally.

I think politics is best defined as "Politics is both everything and nothing" and I think it is important to acknowledge that it is what we make it.

Politics is also closely related to security, We are seeing that at the moment with Trump and North Korea and so today I have a few questions that I would love for you to answer in the comments below.

I have an assignment for one of my politics classes at the moment that requires me to get other people's opinions on politics/security and thus I have some questions for you all.

What is security to you? This may be on a personal scale or internationally.

Do you trust your government to make decisions on issues that could affect the security of your country? why or why not?

Do you feel 'safe' in your everyday life? why or why not?

Do you think politics and security should be so entwined?

Do you think political diplomacy is the best solution to security risks such as North Korea or is a more violent approach necessary?

Feel free to answer these questions below I would love to know what you think.

Easy Healthy Breakfasts with Recipes

Easy Healthy Breakfasts with Recipes

Wednesday 17 May 2017

Being a uni student and just an all round useless person when it comes to eating proper meals and eating breakfast I have decided to share with you some of my favourite breakfasts, that often I meal prep and the beginning of the week and enjoy throughout the week so I don't have to worryaboutt missing a meal.


Egg "muffins"

I am not really a fan o solid food in the mornings however if i am working night shift I like to have something to eat before I go to uni (or bed).

Serves 6

Ingredients:
6 Eggs
Mixed Veggies
Paprika

1. Preheat oven to 180C Bake. Whisk the eggs until they are smooth.
2. Pour the whisked egg into a muffin tray.
3. Add as many mixed veggies as you desire to the muffin tins and sprinkle with a little paprika.
4. Bake for 15mins or until egg is cooked through.
5. Enjoy.

NB: If you are meat eater you can add bacon, I put this around the outside of the muffin tin and pour the egg and veggies in the centre.


Smoothie

I love this one for mornings I want something a little more substantial you can also do the same thing as the instruction or you can chuck all the ingredients in a pot on the stove and make a delicious porridge and maybe pop some honey on top as well.

1 cup Almond Milk (or whatever milk you want, I prefer to use a non-dairy milk)
1/2 Cup Oats
150gms Mixed berries

1. leave the oats in the milk overnight to soak. (This isn't necessary however it means the oats are a little finer and creamier)
2. Chuck everything in a blender or Nutri-bullet or whatever you want in order to blend it all together to create a delicious drink.

NB: for a slight variation you can add coconut to the top or instead of turning this into a drink turn it into a porridge with all the same ingredients in a pot on the stove. If i do this I add about 1/4 Cup of shredded coconut to add a little more flavour.



Green "Juice"

I have juice on quotation marks because well I just shove everything in a blender and it could also be called a smoothie but whatever.

Serving: At least 2

1 Cup Spinach
1 Cup Kale
2 Bananas
1 Cup Pineapple (or you can substitute this with pineapple juice although I find it is too sweet)
2 tsp Chia Seeds
4 tsp Spirulina powder
2 tsp Cinnamon
Water or coconut water

1. Chuck everything in a blender
2. blend.
3. Enjoy

NB: Sometimes it can be a little chunky depending on how many bananas you use and how much water etc so often I put everything in like above, then when I pour it into my glass I fill the glass half way and add water the rest of the way.

What are your easy go to breakfasts? Have you tried any of these?
