I'm trying my hand at showing you guys recipes since I've been getting a lot more into cooking (oh hey boyfriend who can make pasta and only pasta) and god I love food, yet breakfast is a mystery I'm have yet to crack since for me it's still pretty much toast and cereal. In any case these two 'recipes' are ridiculously easy given that I'm not going to be making a 4 course meal at 7am. I want easy and quick, and these two take roughly under ten minutes to make.

I swear, if I were at home all week, this is what I'd make for breakfast EVERY. DAMN. MORNING. It's filling, but not heavy, but I can eat this at 7am and I'm not hungry until about 11 or 12am, which is impressive because normally if I have just toast then I'll be hungry by 10.

So the first one I'm going to show you is my personal favorite, the breakfast quesadilla of dreams. I'm going to show you guys what I put in it because I feel it's easier said than done to get the right ingredients to make sure they all compliment each other right.

Then I'm going to be showing you my fool-proof technique of how to make poached eggs so they're just right (because to be honest I wouldn't be capable of making poached eggs the normal way). It's really easy and if I can do it then so can you.

Quesadilla


For the quesadilla you will need:

• 1 wrap
• 1 egg
• 1 slice of cold cut meat (I like roast turkey or ham)
• Cheese 
• Mayonaise
• Sriracha or salsa (or tomatoe based sauce though avoid ketchup, with or without spice)

We went to have a drink in a square that marks the start of the old town a few times and it was lovely, as was the sangria, and yes, as you may have noticed, I drank my body weight in sangria during that week and I have no regrets.

Saying all this, I would very much recommend coming towards the end of the season. I think it was a mistake to go in the middle of the season, there were way too many people, even in town, and having gone there at the end of August, I much prefer it.

Oh hey, you pretty people, how are you all doing? Today's post is a chatty one so get yourself a beverage of whatever form you choose and tuck in!

I've missed blogging, so I figured any excuse was a good one to get typing again. I mean, technically I still want to write stuff, I still want to talk about the things I've been wearing, the make-up I've been loving, and sharing all the things I've been sharing for 4 years now. But it's just not working. I don't know if it's because my brain isn't at it's best at the moment or if it's because I've just run out of ideas, but I sit down to write a blog post and every week I find myself staring at a blank page.

I've been trying to write this goddamn post for ages and it's just not flowing. I pretend I know how to do fashion blogging but there's fuck-all I can say about clothes.

I've needed to add some things to my wardrobe, I'm the kind of person who likes to cut down on things I don't need but then never replace it, so I needed (really badly) to thicken things out, so I raided ASOS and a couple of other high street shops that I can't link to. I feel like I'm finally getting there with my wardrobe because for ages I was so bored and uninterested with it.


Black Jumper - ASOS

I've been trying to thicken out my wardrobe and even though black wasn't necessarily the best colour to choose from I really like this jumper, it's super soft and the wool isn't at all scratchy, plus it's elasticated on the sleeves so when I push them up they don't slip back down.

Red New Look Playsuit - ASOS

Don't ask me why, I just decided all of a sudden that I needed a playsuit in my life. I can just imagine flouncing around with a pair of Vans Old Skool. Lush. I also like that this one is very much day to night type playsuit? I really love clothes that are more multifunctional and that I can transfer by changing various things in the outfit.



Plain White T-Shirt - ASOS

Like the black jumper, this is purely to supplement the lack of staples in my wardrobe, and I think everyone needs a plain white t-shirt right?

Noisy May Black Denim Shorts - ASOS

Given the fact that my DIYed shorts from last summer were in a fairly pitiful state, I figured I could treat myself to a nice new pair, that hopefully would last the summer this time!


Plain Black New Look Leggings - ASOS

For years, leggings were the bane of my life. I would shudder at the thought of wearing any, but I borrowed some of my Mum's and I now understand what I've been missing so obviously I needed to buy a pair.



Daisy Street Grunge Boyfriend Shirt - ASOS

This was one of those things you throw into your basket and try not to look too hard. I must say that the colours aren't what I'd usually wear but the change is refreshing.


Vans Old Skool

I've been lusting over a pair of Vans Old Skool since my boyfriend got a pair, and my Mum surprised me with a pair for my birthday (I was very chuffed with them). I really love these because they go with pretty much everything and they can add a casual side to most outfits (also plan on trying to style them up, would you guys like a post like that?).

What have you guys been buying recently?

How do you intro? Let's get on with it, that sounds like fun.

Well, this is fun isn’t it? This whole blogging malarky! I’m sorry I’ve been away for so long, college is becoming like an over-bearing parent, and I’ve moved house, as you do.

Anyway, for Christmas I was seriously spoiled and got a shit ton of skincare stuff to make my skin look a little less disgusting.

I'm aware that there is a lot of the brand Sanoflore in this post, I'm not sponsored but I got gifted a set for Christmas and I'm really enjoying their products, and a massive bonus is that despite them belonging to L'Oréal, they are a cruelty free brand!

Everyday

Sanoflore 'Gelée Magnifica' purifying cleanser

Normally this should be used twice a day to wash your face with, but I only do it once a day, because I don't really feel like I need it twice a day. It's really refreshing and, like this whole 'Magnifica' range, it feels really luxurious to apply and use and adds a little bit of pep to my skin.

Sanoflore 'Aqua Magnifica' skin-perfecting botanical essence

I tend to use this as a cleanser and run it all over my face and jawline after I've washed it with a cotton pad. It's got a strange smell, as does all of the Sanoflore products but you get used to it after a while.

Sanoflore 'Crème Magnifica' anti-imperfections moisturiser

This is the most hydrating moisturiser I've used in a long time! It feels really luxurious to apply and I really can feel a difference in my skin when I apply this. I use the botanical essence and this moisturiser twice a day, morning and night and I can definitely feel the difference in my skin, it's a lot more matte and feels a lot more hydrated and less clogged up. The only negative thing I can find is the packaging. I personally don't like moisturisers in a tube because I feel like you waste a lot when it's in a tube.


Weekly

Neutrogena 'Visibly Clear: Black Head Eliminating' Exfoliating Cleanser

This stuff is the love of my life. I've already mentioned it in a previous post, but it's just the best thing every. It's got a foamy consistency that makes you feel like you're washing your face with a cloud, and it's got this really clean scent to it and it feels so nice to wash your face with, and to add to all that, your face feels beautifully clean and matte after using it. I used to use it every day but because I'm using the Sanoflore face cleanser I don't see the need. I do, however, enjoy mixing the two together because I feel like they compliment each other really nicely.

Cattier 'Pink Clay Mask'

I'll use this once a week or every two weeks depending on if my skin needs it or not. It's nothing fancy but it does the job. I like using this on a Sunday, to give my face a fresh start for the coming day.

I hope you all enjoyed this post, let me know in the comments what your favourite skincare products are.
