The quick breakfast ❤

Hiya!
So this post is slightly different... And maybe I'm the only person who will even eat this but I'm letting you know about it just in case. Recently, I have had a couple of late morning where I have needed to rush around. For these mornings, I have invented a really quick and healthy breakfast using simple ingredients. 
How to make- Jessie's Quickest Breakfast
Ingredients: 
Two handfuls of oats
4 spoonfuls of yoghurt ( I chose two of blueberry and two of plain) 
Fruit of your choice 
Sugar (optional) 
A splash of milk
Any extra things to add, for example, almonds, honey, granola, chocolate chips.
 •
Step one-
Put the yoghurt in a bowl and add a splash of milk. 
Step two-
Add the oats and stir together. At this point, it won't look incredibly appetizing. This doesn't really improve as you go along but it still tastes good! 
Step three- 
Add in the fruit of your choice, I went for mango because I wanted to mix things up a little but usually I would put in raspberries or strawberries with almonds. At this point, I also added some extra yoghurt to thin it out.
Step four- 
Eat it really fast! Or slow if you aren't in a hurry!!! Add a drink of your choice. For example, tea, juice, water, chai, coffee, smoothie.I ate mine slowly with a little outdoor table set up. I wasn't in a rush... Obviously. 
Why this recipe is good:
1. It tastes healthy
2. It is healthy 
3. Porridge oats are good for sustaining your energy until you next eat. 
4. It is quick to make and eat but still fills you up! 
 
Always remember to eat breakfast as it is one of the most important meals. Breakfast is not my favourite meal of the day but it prevents you from feeling exhausted and actually makes you perform better. So eat breakfast! Een if it just an apple. 
Fact of the day: 
Apples are minus calories. The calories burnt by eating them is more than the calories it contains. So it actually minuses calories by eating apples. 
Love,

Courage❤



So today, I'm talking about courage. Courage is such a tricky thing. Here is what google defines it as.
Is this how you would define courage? This is what I say- courage is being able to do something even though it scares you, that is going to make things chane for the better. Courage isn't admitting you didn't do your homework or stealing a pencil, courage is more of an emotion. When you know it's going to be hard or you want to give up or you are scared to be yourself or stand up or confront someone or change something but you keep on fighting. There are people that have incredibly hard times and they keep on fighting, they have strength inside themselves to just keep on going, no matter what is going on, who hates them, how different they are or what they have been through. Courage is when you don't give up. You want something better. I think courage is such an amazing thing to have and the people that are courageous are my role models and inspirations, no matter who they are. The next picture, some of you might dislike but I know this man is an inspiration to so many people and this is a quote that is so perfect from him. 
Be yourself and if people don't love you for who you are, find people who do. The point of this post is to let you know that on the 16th July 2014, draw the copyright symbol on your wrist to show respect for the people that need courage. This means mental illnesses, diseases, terminal illnesses, bullying, personal problems or just plain uncertainty or needing support. If you have problems in your life, have overcome problems, want to overcome problems, respect those with problems, or think courage is important, spread the word, and draw the copyright symbol on your wrist on the 16th July 2014. Thankyou so much monsters, help spread the word #copyrightcouragejuly. 
Love

Nest essentials ❤

Hiya! 
So, as I appear to not have anything to do in my spare time except Internet, I have been working hard on how to make the perfect nest/ comfy area/ hiding from the world spot, and I thought I could tell you so you can make nests. Also, a quick tip, if someone says nesting isn't productive, just imagine you are a cocooning butterfly and tomorrow you will be all fresh. Maybe...For those who want a beauty post ( and there is nobody who even reads this so um...) that will hopefully be next week as I am doing reviews. Woop woop! Lets get into the nesting business! 
The essentials: 
1. A duvet
Seriously, a duvet is the main part. You couldn't even begin to cocoon without a duvet. Thick is best, blankets are fine, warmth is essential. 
2. Hoody and comfy clothes 
To be comfortable, wear pyjamas or leggings and a hoody/ sweatshirt. 
3. Pillow
For head resting obviously! 
4. Hot water bottle
For cold days only or you will get sweaty and stuffy and incredibly unlike a butterfly. 
5. Glass of water: refreshment
For the un-butterfly like times when you need refreshing. A bottle would be best so you don't accidentally tip it over while adjusting where you sit. 
6. Candel/ perfume/ something that smells nice
Optional for an ultra relaxed experience
7. Reading materials
For readers, my favorites are company magazine or rookie yearbook but pick whatever you like best. 
8. Snacks for the snackish
Doesn't need explaining! 
9. Lastly, a teddy or comfort blanket
Just for extra cosy and comfy. 

So I hope these were either useful or entertaining! I am also going to be posting a monthly playlist that suits that month so that will be something to look out for! You obviously don't have to go to all this effort just for a good nest but this is the IDEAL PERFECT AMAZING nest. So. Loves and loves,

Big houses and random tunes ♥

Hiya! 
So in the last half an hour, I had two random ideas I though I could share with you. So here we go! 
1. Random songs
I was brushing my teeth and doing all the bathroom-ness you do before bed and then, out of nowhere, I realized I was singing the strangest, most random little jingle. It went 'Black bones, black bones, piano tatum'. ? . What even is this!? I got really confused, I didn't even notice I was singing it and I had never heard the words or the use before! Is this just me? Comment below if you have ever foun yourself doing something and you have no idea when you started!!! 
2. Big house
So a friend of mine owns this house: 
This is the biggest house I have ever seen. This is steepe park house ( google it for more images of inside) and it is the most beautiful house I have ber come across. I'm visiting it tomorrow, I may take a few pics to post but maybe not... When she bought it, it was derelict and covered in graffiti. We couldn't go upstairs, there was no door or windows, the front could hardly be seen. This photo is getting old as she has done so amazingly at getting this place fixed up. There are no more broken windows or peeling paints, stairs fully function and the floors are no longer graffiti stained. The house is a Victorian manor in the middle of nowhere, with acres of ground, a greenhouse, stables and other hidden treasures including a beware of the dog original mosaic! A walk round the forest, and we came across stepping stones, waterfalls, an island in the middle of a lake, swinging branches and curling steps. This is truly magnificent and now I sound like a television programme where they help people buy houses. Hm. Thy have bought a row boat and we are rowing out to the island for a barbecue. I'm excited although the drive is long! They plan to sell this amazing house the second it is finished and it jut makes me so sad. There is everything you expect, window seats, auditorium, basement, library, 9 bedrooms. Hopefully we will do a weekend trip there before its gone but it makes me sad that it has to go! 
So that's the end of my random post, I might have to take it down for privacy reasons ( hope not) so read it now! Hehe.  Don't make me take it down!!!!! See you soon! 
Love

The Blue Tongue ❤


Hiya! 
Firstly, sorry I haven't posted in a LONG time. My laptop broke and I only just got my account details so I could use it on my iPod. Aside from all excuses, I'm sorry and I will try my best to make up for it by posting actual interesting content and hopefully lots of it. Hopefully. So there will be new things, not all beauty. I have an actual list and I'm really excited! So I'm going to start off this 'new style' with a bit of a random one: The Blue Tongue. This is things that give you a lasting blue tongue. I'm not a professional and I have hardly done an 'experiment' but I have three things for two different taste buds.
1. Blue raspberry ice pole 
These make your tongue go blue for around 1hour and 1/2 but it won't do much at all if you just chew it up. You have to keep it in your mouth/ suck it until its gone because then the colour comes off onto your tongue and that's good. 🌀 They are also very yummy and there are dupes everywhere! 

2. Strong blue sweets
Blue sweets that taste strong will usually give a lot of colour if you suck them but make sure they are cheap-ish because the , if they don't work, you can try different ones! 🌀
3. Paint ball bubblegum
Personally, I don't like these much and I'm not sure of their availability but these are really good for making a lasting blue colour! They are like gob stoppers so they could be good too but again, you have to suck them because I didn't but my friend did and mine lasted for 1/2 an hour and her's lasted alot longer!
I hope you enjoyed this random post and I will be doing a few more like this and others including recipes, campaigns, photos, lists, helping, music and some more beauty and pamper style things because that was the original intention for this blog so I might as well cover a bigger audience and add to the list of things to do! See you soon! 
Love,                      Jess xxx

My Hair Care Products ♥

Hiya Chums and Chummettes,
Today, I'm going to talk about my favourite hair care products that I use on a day to day basis. Usually, I wash my hair every other day but I put at least one product on every day! My hair is mid-length and blonde. That's all my hair info done, let's get started with the products!

1. Shampoo
For shampoo I used to use the Aussie Ausomme volume shampoo but recently I switched to V05 'nourish my shine' and have been loving it so much! It makes my hair feel so smooth for days and it's so great! My favourite so far.

2. Conditioner
My conditioner is still the Aussome volume conditioner. I used this with the shampoo but the shampoo was very drying so I swapped whereas this conditioner is perfect for silky smooth hair, also adding volume!

3. Hair Serum
Lots of people don't use hair serum but I have loved this one ever since I first took off the cap and smelt it's amazing smell. I couldn't place the smell but utterly loved it so sat on the side of the bath for 5 minutes until I worked out it was a popcorn smell! This is one of my favourite smell and reminds me of Popcorn lip scrub by Lush which I highly recommend. I would use this when my hair is still semi-wet so it dries with the hair. This serum does exactly as it says which is smoothing. It makes your hair feel so smooth and flowing and amazing. I love it.

4. Smoothing spray
Yes more smoothing and shining products! I think it must be a phase… This is the V05 smoothly does it tame and shine spray. I wouldn't put this straight onto my hair but use it the morning after a shower sprayed onto a hairbrush. This is especially good for just-curled or done hair as it is great for keeping hair brushed and smooth, looking great all day! Another recent purchase I've been loving.

5. Last but not least- no definatley not least as I have done a whole post specifically on this product- is the Bedhead Queen for a Day thickening spray. For more info go check out my post, the URL is below. All I can say is the smell is magically overwhelmingly amazing and the product is no less impressing.





So that's all I've got for now, I noticed a strong theme of Bedhead and V05 products here…. oops. If you google these products they should all come up available for purchase. Thanks for reading and I'll hopefully be back next saturday!

Change of timetable

Hiya Chums and Chummettes!
As you know, I love blogging. I try my hardest to post every Friday but this is proving a little hard for me! So, as I got thoroughly stuck on this weeks post, and some unfollows on bloglovin, I am going to change my upload day to Saturday. This means I have all of Friday and then I can post on Saturday morning if possible! Any fellow bloggers may know that to upload every week is a task and it is so easy to run out of time and ideas so if I miss out a week then please comment ideas and things you would like to see in posts! I'm going to stop with my ramble now! I'll be uploading Febuary Favourites next weekend so please follow on bloglovin to be updated on when I post! Thanks,
Love,

Jessbug xxx
