Good afternoon Little Ones! How are you all today? I'm finally back home, gosh I missed being here! But I had a wonderful experience being an orange volunteer at insomnia 60! If you want to know more information about that, I'll be uploading a vlog on my YouTube Channel tomorrow, if that's something you want to watch then type: Miss Rose McGuire into the search bar and have a little stalk.
Any how, if you want to know what me and my other half got up to in St Albans, then keep on reading :).

What did we get up to? 

First and foremost me and Christopher had been trapped by the awful weather, until we awoke to a beautiful, warm day! Evidently, we took advantage of the weather and headed down to St Albans. Originally we had a plan to get our nails done, hand my CV around places; but that could wait another day. 

By the time we arrived at St Albans it was time for lunch, in which I was peckish for some pasta! Carluccio's was around the corner, and me and Christopher both adore the food. We managed to whip a seat outside and enjoy the sun-rays ... Although I do regret sitting towards the sun, but at least I'd finally get some colour on my face. 

It was absolutely fantastic, lovely warm food, crisp drinks and Christopher for company, it was such a wonderful meal. I ordered a grapefruit and vodka cocktail, bitter to begin with, but the after-taste was deliciously sweet! If you love grapefruit, then you will relish this drink; but mind you, it was very alcoholic! Only need one of those to boost your confidence! Whereas typical Chris had his Peroni, which was well deserved and needed in the blazing heat. Nothing better than cooling down with ice cold drinks. 

On the other hand, our food was utterly delicious, I had salmon pasta, with a fresh salad. Tasted beautiful, just what I needed to feel energised again; plus it was super healthy, so I didn't feel guilty eating it. 

Christopher on the other hand, didn't enjoy his sea-food pasta, he wanted more cheese, and meat to the dish; which I completely understand, especially when the details of the dish specify in different types of seafood. But then again, he's quite picky. 

Time had flown by with conversation between the pair of us; but we had eaten like kings and needed to burn off the everlasting food. 

We headed towards the market and came across Chris's dream car brand ... Tesla, as you can see in the images above, he's extremely content ... And handsome (may I add). I remember people trying to test out the car, and Chris refusing to let them in ... As you can imagine the salesperson became rather agitated, I believe his face is in one of these photos; as you can see, not very happy. 

We couldn't believe that we had spent over 4 hours in St Albans! It's such a content and beautiful atmosphere, hopefully me and Christopher shall be living there very soon ... But that's another chapter of my life. Future Amy and Chris will worry about that some other time. 

Any how, I'm rambling, back to our little adventure! We didn't get up to very much, we were simply walking around, enjoying the views and the warmth on the back on our necks. I just enjoyed taking various photos, talking with Christopher and looking at future homes. 

All in all the day was joyful and we rested when we arrived home, all the walking we did hit us the next day. But hey-ho, at least we ventured out took the sun while it lasted. Because the very next day, it rained ... And wouldn't stop. 

There you Little Ones have it! A little adventure! There will be many more where that came from! Again I'm so happy that I'm back in business! I will see you again tomorrow with an all famous make-up review! Remember to stay safe and stay tuned! :) x x x

Good evening Little ones! I've taken a little break, I've been with the family over the Christmas period, completing University work, and also writing my first ever book ... I think it's going OK so far; but I'm always sceptical about my work. I've just come home from a date with my boyfriend, and I thought that I would write a blog post on it, I always enjoy reading about my favourite bloggers personal life; makes me feel like I'm there with them. Any-who, if you want to know what I got up to this evening then have a read down below; enjoy :).

I've been working a lot, so much in fact that I haven't really taken the time to breath. Having an evening out with my other half was the break I needed, it restored my energy and made me feel happier as a person. As most of you are aware, if you are put under so much pressure is really takes it out on you; emotionally and physically. Just to take a breather once in a while is fantastic, and especially with people you cherish.
Me and Christopher decided to head out to Bill's, somewhere we don't normally go because I'm a pasta gal, I love my Italian food, but we fancied something different; plus we've been to Bill's before and we LOVE their food!
It came to ordering, and I had a pink lemonade, I normally hate fizzy drinks; but this was rather refreshing, and it kept me awake! Whereas Chris had a Budweiser ... Jeez he was drunk near the end of the night, hilarious to witness; but tiring to get home. But it was time for our main meal to arrive! As you can see in the images above I decided to go with a fish pie. It was so delicious! The fish was so fresh and creamy, and the potato crunchy and delightful. It wasn't rich to begin with, but near the end my stomach was telling me to STOP! Just encase IBS hit, and I don't fancy that on a romantic date with my boyfriend. He then went with a manly meal ... Classic steak and chips. He devoured his in seconds, still stunned!
Like every main course, it has to finish with a desert ... I don't care how full I feel I always need something sweet after, it wouldn't feel right! Luckily Bill's had their famous chocolate brownie ... And yes I ate the hell out of it! I'm sorry there is no picture, I forgot to take one, and by the time I remembered I had already eaten it ... But it was delicious! If you go there at any point, GET THE BROWNIE! You'll love it!
Whereas Chris bought the salted caramel apple crumble, it looked fantastic on the menu, but when served it wasn't as great, and the taste (in my opinion) wasn't fantastic; but that's because I don't like walnuts ... Without those and I think it would have been great.
All in all it was a great evening, we had a great talk, laugh and some drinks together. I would say cherish the time you have with another person, they really do make you grow. Ever since I met Chris he has made me so much happier. He has given me so much more confidence, as I him.
I apologise that there aren't many pictures of us, but we do value our privacy, plus Chris is camera shy, he's awkward, and I respect that.
Oh side-note! I will be vlogging at the VERY end of this year! I am in the process of learning how to edit, and construct videos. I want to perfect it for you Little ones! But I will still be blogging if that answers any questions.
This is now the end of my blog post, I hope you enjoyed this evening out! I would highly recommend Bill's, if you have never been before; then try something new, I'm sure you will have the time of your life.
I love you all so very much, I will see you again soon! Merry Christmas!
Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! :) x x x

Good morning you lovely people! How was your day yesterday? I had a gorgeous meal with my man last night, I was also meant to post this yesterday but I was so tired due to my lectures; I just wanted to hit the hay. Any how, what are you up to today? I don't have another lecture until 2 this afternoon! I can relax until then :). 

I thought that it was about time to introduce something new to my blog, so here it is! Non-vegan recipes, I will post these throughout the week, I want to reach a wider target audience; and if that means bringing non-vegan meals into the equation then so be it :).

I hope you enjoy these romantic recipe, hopefully see you in the next one :).

BEHIND THE SCENES:

Fundamentally, the story behind this meal wasn't as romantic as it portrays. Me and my other half were so stressed, due to work and our own personal life; that toppled on moving in; it just got too much. We wanted our own time together, in which we have finally obtained. We created this meal to celebrate our new chapter together; in which I was so happy and he was too. We finally have our own home; it feels amazing to share a home with my Christopher :).

As shown in the pictures above the meal wasn't vegan, Chris didn't want an entire vegan meal, which I can completely understand ; I'm not going to make him change his diet because of me; that would be so unfair. So I ate the meal with him, I'm still vegan but I'm not entirely strict about turning other people vegan; if they want to do it then so be it; but I'm not going to kick up a fuss. Especially in this circumstance, Chris wanted to have a non-vegan meal, so I agreed to let that happen; it's not a moment of weakness; it's being respectful to the people I love. 

In addition to this, I was thinking about my non-vegan friends, and they wanted me to post non-vegan recipes, so that they can recreate what I do on the internet, so here I am, giving what the people want :).

INGREDIENTS:

• 100 grams gluten free pasta (I have to eat this pasta because gluten makes my tummy angry);
• 50 grams spinach;
• 50ml single cream;
• 50 grams parmesan cheese;
• 1 chili;
• 2 chicken breast;
• olive oil (for the frying pan);
• salt

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS;

1. Pour 500ml of boiled water into a pan, add a pitch on salt and stir;
2. put the pasta into the pan and put the lid in-top. Then turn the power onto a low simmer (1-2), cook for 8-10 minutes;
3. when the pasta is cooking prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into fine chunks, this will make it cook faster. 
4. put oil in a frying pan and turn the heat to number 5, wait until it's boiling hot. When the pan has reached the correct temperature throw the chicken chunks in;
5. drain the pasta and add the single cream, when the creamy concoction is steaming and boiling add all the spinach until it wilts (this will take around 5 minutes);
6. add the already cooked chicken from earlier and stir well;
7. add the parmesan and stir until there is cheese everywhere;
8. plate up and add extra cheese on top (if you want);
9. ENJOY!:D 

WHY THESE INGREDIENTS:

Spinach:

Abundant flavonoids in spinach act as antioxidants to keep cholesterol from oxidizing and protect your body from free radicals, particularly in the colon. The folate in spinach is good for your healthy cardiovascular system, and magnesium helps lower high blood pressure.

Chicken:

Chicken as we all know contains an mass amount of protein, this repairs your muscles and insures that they won't rip or pull. This is crucial in your diet if you do weight-training or any form of sports. In a way I had to have chicken yesterday, since I'm now back in the gym. 

This is the end of my blog post, I really hoped you enjoyed this! It was highly requested to do non-vegan recipes, I just want to give to you ALL. If you are vegan or not. I hope that you respect the way that I have chosen to do my blog; I just want to give to everyone; I want to make EVERYONE happy :).

I love you all so very much, if you have anymore questions or requests please do let me know in the comment section down below; or my social media. Have a lovely day and I will see you again later!

Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x
