The Sunday post : The Green Smoothies

I know, I have skipped out on yet another lifestyle snippet post but it’s okay because I have something else up my sleeve for you peeps. A little while back, I featured the makings of this smoothie in a Sunday post and as I like to deliver on some of my promises, here is how it all went down with a smoothie maker.

I am not one of those regular smoothie/juice makers but sometimes your body gets a craving for it. I know that they aren’t the best for you in terms of having all that sugar in one serving, despite the fact that it is all natural sugars, which in fact brings a tear to my eye. But every once in a while never did anyone any harm.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1 green apple

¼ of a cucumber

Handful of spinach

Some ice

Apple juice – this is just a sweetener for me but take it out to be even healthier

(Obviously add more of what you like, take out what you don’t and pretty much just make it your own. Whatever floats your smoothie making boat)

In case you really have no experience with smoothie making, I just popped it all into the smoothie maker I have, blended it, then hit the smooth setting and tah dah, your very own green-licious smoothie.
This lasted me around 2 days but because it is fresh, I recommend making enough for one or two servings for the day.

I hope you enjoyed this little recipe as a replacement for my typical Sunday posts - it is still lifestyle orientated right?

just me or does this look hella insta worthy?

Have a great week and see you all soon with a new post and potentially a new video. Oooh.

The Sunday Post : This Week I ...


It is that time of the week again where I round up my thoughts of the week. This week had a reoccurring theme; me in my bed, wrapped up with my laptop perched beside me. There were the odd two days where I was really productive and managed to get a crap load of work done, even though it seems never ending. But that again was me just glued to my computer screen. The only difference is that I was sitting up right.

I also managed to squeeze some editing into the week and there are definitely some videos coming your way that were just a little too tedious to edit, but I hope it was worth it. My little setup had my head spinning with ideas for hours. I also managed to find time to order a few pieces from Zara which you can see in this post.

My exam timetable also launched via the internet so now I know how long I have to revise until, when my summer holiday official begins so I can book up a few holidays and I can now focus my mind on my next goal which is getting into university. Booking up applicant days and a few little trips to see them in the next month has really helped refocus my mind.

As my life now is just completely consumed with doing work, and work and just endless pieces of work, I took Saturday evening off to have a girl’s night with some of my favourites. We went out for dinner and a laugh and it was nice to just forget everything and have fun. There were so many now inside jokes that filled the night and we will definitely be doing it again without a doubt. Saturday morning before my guitar lesson, I tried my hand at making another smoothie and I opted for a green one. A more detailed post will be coming on it soon but call I can say that it was friggin yummy.

Sunday as always are supposed to be a get shit done day but it never really goes to plan. Today I did a spot of filming and photography and reminisced over the night before. But I still have to try and do some work to make myself feel better about having a lazy weekend. Also tried porridge one last time and tried the coco pops one because I am 5. And NOPE, I just can’t do it, I just can’t like porridge. No matter what way it’s made or what flavour it is. I’m gonna go and continue staring my computer and have a Spotify playlist on repeat.

Next week is all planned for the most part too. I have a very busy schedule of school, driving and my job as well as squeezing in time for blogging and filming for this and school. The sound of it is starting to overwhelm me a little so I shall stop.

Hope you all had a great week and tell me something you got up to below.
