Making Smoothies

I recently got a new blender and wanted to test it out, and what better way than to make a delicious smoothie? Here's what I made.

Ingredients: 

Strawberries 

Banana 

Ice 

Cranberry juice

(There aren't particular quantities, I just improvised) 

Method

Chop up the strawberries and put them  in the blender with the ice

Blend it until it's smooth

Add the cranberry juice and blend it again (not too much) 

Add the banana and blend

Pour the smoothie into cups ( Yes i used Starbucks cups. Don't judge me)

This smoothie was delicious, and it is the perfect drink for relaxing on a hot day. I hope you like the recipe

The Night Circus Book Review

When I first heard about this book I was intrigued. I had never really read any books about a circus before and I really wanted to read it. The beginning was slightly confusing, but once I started to understand what was going on and got to know the characters a bit more I absolutely loved it. I didn't get bored once and I could hardly put the book down at all. It is a really unique book and the story isn't like anything else I've ever read before. Usually there is at least one thing that annoys me in a book, but there wasn't in 'The Night Circus'. It is one of my favourite books of 2014 so far, and I've read quite a lot this year. If anyone is looking for something different to read I would definitely give this a try.

Sorry that this post is so short. I'll be back soon with a longer one.

April Favourites

This month has gone so quickly! It seems like yesterday that I published my March favourites! Anyway, here are my favourites for the month of April.

Revlon Colorburst Showy Matte Lipstick

At the moment I've been trying to wear more bright lipsticks, as it is spring, and I have loads of them. This hot pink colour has definitely been my favourite one this month and is perfect to add a pop of colour to an outfit. Its such a fun colour and perfect for spring and summer. 

Primark PS Love Nail Polish Twist Pot

I hate taking off my nail varnish will normal nail varnish remover. Its messy and requires a lot of cotton wool. This twist pot allows you to take it off just by putting your finger in and twisting it round. Its very good at it's job too, and for a pound you can't really go wrong. Its also the perfect thing to just remove the nail varnish from one nail if you make a mistake, instead of ruining all your nails with the remover. 

CLIPPER Cranberry and Raspberry Tea

I absolutely love fruit teas, and this is definitely one of my all time favourites. Cranberry and Raspberry is my favourite flavour, and I've never found one more delicious than this. It's worth a try for any tea drinkers looking for something new. I know I'll be going out to get some more!

American Horror Story

I started watching this just under 2 weeks ago, and I've already finished all 3 seasons (Murder house, Asylum and Coven). It is one of the best TV shows that I've discovered in a long time. I was told to watch it loads of times by my friends and on Tumblr, so eventually I did. I am so glad. I would suggest that anyone into the horror genre should watch this ( It's not that scary, but it's kind of violent).

Thanks for reading. See you soon!
