As if you don't know enough about me already I've decided to do another tag...

Cooking for Dummies #2: Puff Pastry Pizza

When starting out on your own cooking meals can be some what of a mission. It is all to easy to get stuck in a rut of microwave meals and Super Noodles, but it doesn't have to be like that. This year I'm going to be continuing my Cooking for Dummies series providing you, my dear readers, with some simple and most importantly tasty dishes to get you on your feet.

It's a Win/Win Situation!

Hey guys after reading Victoria's Vintage post on tips for winning competitions I went a bit crazy and entered loads! Instead of doing loads of separate posts I'm just going to do one group post on some of the ones I've entered and you can enter too if any take your fancy!

Wanderlust

Ever since I came back from Amsterdam earlier this year, I have had an overwhelming urge to travel. So many people I met on the trip had been travelling all over Europe and hearing about their experiences got me thinking about going on my own.

Citrus scented it will polish and scrub skin clean for a picture perfect complexion."  All of the products in the  line are unisex which means those of you living with your partners can happily share these products!

Back to Life... Back to Reality

So now that my exams are over, and I've finally got some time to myself before I go back to uni I've got to thinking about what I would like to do this year. These aren't New Years Resolutions as such but rather things that I would like to do this year, and can hopefully make happen.

Amsterdam Adventure: Part One

Last year my sister suggested to me and some mutual friends that we do something different for New Year's Eve, and what better way to do that than by going abroad? We were initially set on Berlin, but it worked out a lot cheaper to go to Amsterdam which we hoped would be just as fun. I had high hopes foe the trip but nothing could of topped the experience I actually had. I went with some great people, made some new friends and got to experience Amsterdam - if only for a few days.
