People think I'm intimidating!?

1st year of uni , yes I finally got it . Time to make a good impression. Omg , that girl over there seems like she hates me , crap this is going bad already , how am I going to make friends , she looks like a right old Bitch. That was ligit what I was thinking on the first day of university. But funny story , 2 weeks on , I'm actually really good friends with the girl I thought was a "Right old bitch ". So what I'm trying to say is don't judge someone by their appearance , similarly don't judge a book by its cover. That's one thing that I learnt at university in the first week and it will probably stick with me for life.

The second thing that I learnt at university is that apparently I'm intimidating. Hmmm well that's hard to believe since i'm  5 foot and really close to the ground. When I got told this I was so hurt, I mean how could I be intimidating ? Maybe I spoke up for what I believed in and I contributed to the seminars , but isn't that what university is all about ? I've come to realise that some guys in my seminar decide not to talk to me , and at first I really didn't know why , but then I got told that apparently I intimidated them. Hmmm. I'm sorry, but were here to learn , so there is no way i'm holding back so that you can feel good about yourself. What I'm trying to say , especially to the women in education out there is if your paying so much to go to university then its not really the right time to be trying to act all cute and trying to make others like you. Girl go get your education! I'm rambling because im really pissed off. God , seriously I understand men want to be the king of the jungle , but if your not good enough then a women will be quick to replace you.

Make whatever you want off this ,

peace out xx

umm.... sorry ?

Ok , ok I know your mad at me , but I've been really busy ! Seriously busy!
First of I just wanted to say I know I havn't blogged in a while and that's mostly due to school work and then summer happened , but the good thing is that I'm BACK !

So you may be wondering what happened during the time that I suddenly disappeared the face of the earth , well for starters I got into UNIVERSITY ! AYYYYY ! Yes , i finally did it I finished A levels ALIVE ! So I will be going to university in 2 weeks time.

Also just though I would let you know that I went to Jordon for 1 month  and also had an amazing time at the Dead sea aswell . Heres a picture of me at the Roman Ampitheatre. I may look like I'm not that bothered , but let me tell you my inner historian was geeking out .

So those are the two major things that I did this summer and I'm kinda looking forward to Autumn , but I've decided that after the amount of food that I ate this summer , I need to get back into a diet , but that will be for a different post. So there you have it i'm still alive and I'm ready to get back to blogging and creating my YouTube videos so why don't you stay a while. 

Love you guys xx

How to get rid of blemishes naturally !!

A lot of us suffer from blemishes , especially after a pimple has popped. So if you want to know how to get rid of them , keep reading !

I've come across this DIY face mask in order to attempt to get rid of them. It is basically turmeric, honey and lemon juice- mix them together and you get a nice pastey mask that you can apply. Another good tip is to rub a potato cut in half on the blemishes it will lighten the pigment of it.
Baking soda is also another holy grail ingredient. You can mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda with water and create a mixture. Apply this to the pimple scar . After 5 minutes or so rinse it off with lukewarm water and apply olive oil on your blemish.
You can also try creating a yogurt mark . It contains probiotics and lactic acid so it will help to remove the bad bacteria from your face. Just apply it all over your face. I have found that it also brightens my face a bit.
My next big secret is coconut oil!!! It has caprylic acid that help to get rid of impurities from your skin and it also helps to whiten your face(coconut oil is just my favourite ) . You can do so much with coconut oil.
Finally , HONEY , this ingredient has antibacterial properties which help to remove blemishes. Slather honey all over your face and keep it there for 10 minutes.

Those are all of my tips. Try them and get back to me. xx

My favourite suhoor food!

Hello everyone,

So I am currently fasting for Ramadan , and it is actually not that bad this year , even though it is the longest time that I have had to refrain from drinking water and eating food. Anyways I thought that I would share with you some of favourite suhoor meals.

The first recipie that I will share with you is the cheese and tomato strata .
The name sounds delicious on it's own (I'm a huge cheese lover) .
                                                         
So you need:
4 eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of salt
4 slices of grain bread , sliced into squares
1 pint of cherry tomatoes , in halves
1 15 ounces of chickpeas
1/4 cup of basil leaves , chopped
how ever much cheese you want
2 tablespoons of olive oil

Ok , now we have all the ingredients time to get on with the method :

1. Get a large mixing bowl and whisk together all the eggs , milk and salt . Toss in the bred whilst your at it. Then put the mixture in the fridge for two hours.
2.Then once 2 hours has gone by , take the starta out and add the tomatoes in the mixture , chickpeas , cheese and basil . Make sure everything is mixed in well.
3. Heat olive oil in a large oven - safe frying pan , on medium heat and pour all the ingredients into the pan , spread everything evenly and make sure that the bread is laid flat .
4.Then bake the starta , heat in the oven until the eggs are all set and golden brown . This should take around 40 minutes. Then once it is done , take the starta out and leave it for 10 minutes to cool.
5. Get a cutting board and flip the starta on it and start slicing into the portions that you want.

Bish Bash Bosh - that is it , all done and ready to eat. See how easy it was.

The second suhoor food I love to make is watermelon and cottage cheese parfait

Ingredients:
1 cup of watermelon cut into cubes.
1 ounce of pistachio nuts crushed
1 cup of cottage cheese
1 cup of granola

Now time to make it , its so complicated , now take a breath ... are you ready ?

lAYER EVERYTHING ON TOP OF THE OTHER , WITH THE PISTACHIO ON TOP ! yippy that's it. Tarrra !

And those are my favourite suhoor recipies . Both simple and tasty. Enjoy!

Turmeric face mask

Recently I've been having problems with my skin , pimples everywhere I tell you and its been really annoying because since I've finished my exams I've wanted to go out with my friends and FREEDOM gel hasn't really helped so I started searching up some natural ways to get rid of my pimples and I came across this turmeric face mask . At first I was hesitant because it was yellow and I was scared that it would stain my face and that would be a disaster. The outcome : it did not get rid of my pimple , but boyy was I glowing and my skin felt so smooth .

I did a little bit of research before I applying the turmeric paste all over my face and it turns out that it slows down cell damage , it helps with acne , dry skin , eczema, and it also helps to even the skin tone and even banish wrinkles .
                                                        

So the way that I created this sticky mask is I mixed flour , turmeric and milk. Then I applied to all over my face (be weary of the skin around your eyes) and I waited until I felt that it was dry for me to wash off . If you feel like it has started to stain you face, use a face wash and wash your face twice (that did it for me).

Coconut oil : Lips

Hey everyone,

So I thought I would just share with everyone something that I have recently discovered, maybe you already know this , but what harm is there for sharing: COCONUT OIL IS MAGIC. Yes you heard me, I'm not kiddling its like magic in a jar, not only is it amazing for your hair, but it is also amazing for your lips as well. I have recently been suffering from chapped lips and my friend told me to try applying coconut oil so I did and just after 1 hour the redness on my lips disappeared, my lips didn't feel so tight anymore and I was just amazed! So after my little urika moment I thought I would trying to make a scrub with it. Turns out coconut oil is all you really need for smooth lips. I made a scrub. The ingredients that I used where : brown sugar, coconut oil, olive oil and honey. Mix them all together and I scrubbed it onto my lips. Then I washed it off with warm water and patted my lips dry. So don't bother yourself buying a lip scrub , DIY it a save money.

Try it out and leave me a comment on how well it worked for you or if you have any other lip scrubs that you could share with me. xx

I'm back !

Hey everyone, 

I know I've been gone a while, but I've just finished my A levels and I'm back, but I've realized that A levels has really changed me , not for the better, but for the worst. A levels has made me into this self absorbed person that merely cares about their grades and does not value friendship. I lost a lot of my friends in year 13 and I don't really know how we really drifted apart, but one day we were still talking and the next it was saying random hi's or giving eachother weird looks in the corridor or near the locker rooms. A levels can sometimes bring out the worst in people and they may not know it. Its said to see how much the school system has influence over us , that a few grades are more important than friends. All I can say that if anyone is starting year 13 , make sure you know who you are and make sure that you give your friends a call once in a while , check that they are ok and hang out with them, because by the time you know it , it will be the end of the year and you can never have those days back . By all means revise and make sure you do well , but don't be the fool I was and isolate yourself from people because it ends in two things, an absolutely depressing year and bad grades. So the moral of the story is , don't take yourself too seriously, have fun  and have faith. 

I know this was a bit random but I thought I would just put it out there.
