Swimming on a Hot Summers Day

Hi Everyone, Today was such a great day

The weather was amazing (nearly 30 degrees which is not normal in UK) and my mood was good too.

Today I went Swimming since I thought it would be perfect, it was pretty crowded because of two reasons:

1. its a Friday lol!!!
2. it was the afternoon and in the holiday season so what can you expect XD

I decided to do 20 laps in the inside pool first but things did not go to plan ahaha, I was too concentrated on people getting a sun tan. I leaped out of the pool and hurried to a dime sunny spot which I then proceeded to lay my towel down on the grass and apply sun tan lotion. I rested for a bit, minutes went by I wasn't tired at all so it began to get quite boring so I took a few pictures of the sun and the planes above my head and began editing away (as shown above in photo)... But I just wasn't getting a tan so I slowly began to miss swimming.. so I decided to go for an outdoor swim. because I felt brave even though the water was cold I forced myself in. 

This all lasted about 3 hours, a very long process indeed. How did time fly so fast? I wonder myself...By the end of the sunny yet tiring swim I felt like I had accomplished something grand. Not really but I managed to fulfil my main purpose which was to have a workout and do laps whilst at the same time I was absorbing vitamin D.

I know this is a more descriptive post then my usual habits..IT CAN CHANGE. Fear not, my posts will still be updated at least once a week.

Vegan Breakfast With Twist

Hello Everyone,

So today I decided to do a vegan update.
I decided to try this New Creative Heart Vegan Pancake idea & Matcha Oat drink


Pancake Recipe:

It was super easy to make all I used was:
-Organic Dutch Brown Flour (2 cups)
- Alpro Soya Light Milk (1 cup)
- 2 Organic Bananas

I first mashed the banana with a fork until they were squished then I added the floor and milk. After the mixture had been mixed I took a larger pan and put little drops of Olive Oil so it wouldn't stick, then I placed the mixture on the pan on medium heat. I turned it around a couple times so book sides can cook afterwards using my heart cutter I carefully cut it into shapes.


I placed it in a plate with washed blueberries, strawberries and raspberries in a decorated manner as shown in picture.

Matcha Oat Drink
- Matcha ( 1 table spoon)
- Oats ( 2 spoons)
- Alpro Soya Light Milk ( 1 cup)

I put the Soya milk and Matcha in a glass and I stirred them around, then I blended oats and a couple spoons of the milk. This foam was created which I mixed into the drink to make it more tasty and sweet.

Typical Day

Hi,

Today I ate at Bibimbap in Soho. The food was severed in a very hot pot and was their famous dish: Dol Sot :)

The menu has a range of choices like seafood, beef bowls or ramen.

In the Korean Restaurant, they had kpop poster like Twice, T-ara and 4Minute which was great even though 4M disbanded this year :( I loved the kpop songs in the background too, I'm happy I found this place. Its located on 11 Greek Street near Soho Square which is very crowded.

Afterwards I went to Tsujiri which is a famous Japanese Matcha restaurant and had this chiffon cake as well on the side. I'm a big fan of Matcha- its healthy,  can help lose weight naturally and helps tone the body.
This Sundae had some random cereal in the middle which was quite odd but crunchy !!






Have a Lovely day, Spread Happiness, Make someone Smile

Part 1 Liverpool

 Hi So this is Part 1 of my daytime snaps from Liverpool,

I went to numerous tourists sites like Beatles Story, The Docks, The Swans, Boat Riding, Tour Bus, Museum of Liverpool, The Seaside, China Town and Safari Park.

 By the Chinese Arch their were hardly any shops/retsturants open in the afternoon, but the main road had a few Chinese souvenir shops which were interesting.
The road: Bold Street had a few Chinese supermarkets which was great....got seaweed yayay.

 So I went boat riding the second day which was quite boring to be honest but the photos came out great as shown above ahaha.

The weather was unbelievable over 30 degrees on my 3rd day which I was loving.

Got a sun tan that day FINALLY


All these photos are taken from an iPod lol, I'm not a photographer.

How I prepare for my Birthday!!

Hi, so tomorrow is my birthday and I decided to make this post about how I prep myself before hand, firstly I curly my hair as shown below. Its good to change your hair style too since its a special day!!!! have FUNNN

 Then I Put on a mask before I sleep so I get soft dewy Korean skin in the morning. Even though you look like a ghost in these masks its a great time to use them.

On my birthday before school I use a bunch of  products so I can get glowing ,bold, bright eyes in the early morning when I'm tired. Most of the products in the picture are from other posts like: innisfree- the mascara and tint. I absolutely love them. The eyeliner pen is from Charli xcx meetup. However, I have not mentioned about the L'Oréal glitter mascara, my favourite nail polishes, my light pink vegan eye shadow and my face and body care.

I can go into more detail if requested...

If its also your birthday on the 1st July or in July, Happy Birthday! the most important part is too enjoy yourself makeup is just a tool. I hardly wear makeup... only going to do eyes and lips to get a natural look.

Sorry for having irregular posting, super busy!

Will be back to normal next week, please request ideas too. Thanks

Goodnight, Good evening, Good morning wherever or whoever you are have good day!
