Good morning Little ones! Long time so see on the vegan recipes! I'm back in action and creating so much more! It's autumn, and what's better to eat this time of year than steamy mash potato. Normally I would have gem-potatoes, simply because that's all I've ever had. I've never actually tried sweet potato mash; which shocks me as I love sweet potato.
Enough rambling, if you want to make this concoction then follow the simple instructions down below:).

Ingredients:

  • 3 sweet potatoes;
  • vegan cream (Alpro);
  • 1 birds-eye chilli-VERY HOT be warned;
  • 2 spring onions;
  • 2 carrots.

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Prepare you vegetables: peel the carrots and potatoes. Chop the carrots into fine chunks and place them into a large pan, do the same with the sweet potato.
    Dice the chilli and spring onion and put to one side;
  2. Put 2lts of water into the kettle and wait until boiled. Once boiled pour the water into the large pan, in which the carrots and potatoes are;
  3. Leave to cook for 20 minutes (until soft);
  4. When the carrots and potatoes are done mash them with a folk until fully combined. 
  5. Add the Alpro cream and stir together. Once combined add the chilli and spring onion and stir again.
  6. Plate up and ENJOY! :D 

WHY THESE INGREDIENTS? 

Spring onion:
Onions are a great antioxidant, they also contain low fat saturation, this won't clog up your arteries, as it reduces cholesterol, in comparison to a normal red or green onion, this is so much better for your mental and physical health.

Carrots:
This root vegetable is also a good source of antioxidant agents. Which simply means that they are detoxing your body, and making sure that bad bacteria stays away.

Sweet potato:

Sweet potato is enriched with beta-carotene. In the body, beta-carotene converts into vitamin A (retinol). We need vitamin A for good vision and eye health, for a strong immune system, and for healthy skin and 

This is now the end of the blog post! I hope you enjoy this tasty snack/meal. Eat it with whatever you want, I love it alone as an afternoon stack; especially when it's cold outside. I can place this into a bowl, get all snuggled in bed and eat :).
I hope you are all happy and healthy, I'm going out to London again today, and also getting my hair dyed! I can't wait to show you! Stay tuned and stay safe Little ones! I love you! x x x

Fitbit Alta Review 

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Fitbit, I received this watch from my boyfriend as an anniversary gift. I'd been wanting that watch for so long and he went and bought it for me. I have always been into my fitness, so this was perfect for me.

Hello! I'm ever so sorry that this has taken a few days to post, I have been undergoing serious issues, of which I can't disclose just yet; but when I can I will write about it :).
Anyhow, how have you all been? What did you do yesterday and what are you planning on doing today? Let's cut to the chase! If you are a perfume addict then you will love this blog post! Have a little read and relax :).  


If you want to read another review, click here!






PRESENTATION:

Fundamentally, when you receive this tiny trinket it's surrounded by a modern box, it shines beautifully since it's turquoise and also interlinks with their brand. It signifies positivity and you get that when you eventually open the box and reveal the Fitbit. In regards to the actual Fitbit it's stunning, the glossy black glass is extremely professional, you can walk around the streets feeling fantastic. As well as this, the pink leather strap (real leather) adds an opulent and comfortable feeling. I say comfortable because it fits perfectly, doesn't feel cold when you put it on (metal feels cold), and it bends perfectly; it's not stiff. In addition to this, the pink reminds me of my Nan, which is also why I went for this colour; she would have really liked this, baby pink was her favourite colour. When I wear it I feel like a part of her is still with me.
In contrast to this, when you turn the Fitbit around, you can see metal dots, which interconnect with the holes provided, these are in regards to the various sizes; the one I have is small; and it fits me perfectly! I've always had trouble with watches fit me, they never make them my size; Fitbit is the first brand that actually advocates for my size of wrist. I put mine on the last setting and it doesn't move around; unlike other watches I've tried, it trails down my arm; but not this one. All in all, I think this fitness watch is elegant, easy to wear and really fashionable. 

THE PRODUCT:

Profoundly, the amount of things this product does is fantastic. Just to give you a brief idea of what this little baby can do, it counts your steps, tells you how many calories you have burnt, motivates you to go further. For example, if you have been stable for too long it tells you to, "let's walk together"; the various amount of messages that pops up on the screen is so personal; it makes you feel like you have a personal friend their motivating you. In addition to this, it evidently tells you the time, you move your wrist towards your face and the time automatically appears. Because the text it white and the background is black it makes it easy to read and understand. In regards to the battery, it lasts 2 weeks, this is fantastic and when you do charge it, it only takes 1 hour to charge, and that's it for two weeks. It's constantly on, even at night ... If you want it to you can wear it while your sleep and it actually monitors if you are getting enough sleep or not. On the other hand, there is another part of this product, and that would be the app that you would download on your phone or tablet. If you download it you can register your sleep, how many steps you should do in the week, you could even start a diet or weight plan. If you need to loose weight for yourself or for health conditions then buy one of these and set your goal higher and higher. It gives you motivation to do well and keeps you going. in contrast to this, there are various colours that this comes in, you can buy the bands separatley, but they are additional costs on top of this product. But this means you can make it as versatile as possible. When you do buy the Fitbit it does come with a wrist band; so don't worry about not getting one, it's included in the price.

THE PRICE:

Depending on what Fitbit you want it varies in price, there are cheaper ones than the one I'm talking about. The FitBit Alta retails for £99.99. Which I think is a great value for money, some watches now adays are the same price, if not more expensive; and that just tells you the time. Whereas the Fitbit Alta, tells you the time, counts your calories and steps, how long you have been walking for etc. It's not just a simple watch, it does so much for you; and for the price of £99.99 it's worth it in my opinion.
I would say if you are a fitness freak, or need to improve your physical lifestyle, then get one of these! It will help you, plus it's your own little motivator. I was wanting one of these for ages, and my boyfriend brought me one for our year anniversary; I love him so much and I was so thankful. 
If you are interested in buying this product check out the website down below, they have so many models :)

Good evening! Yes I'm back again on the same day! It's been a few weeks that I've posted various blog posts on the same day; but I am so happy to finally be able to do this! The past few weeks have been really tough, I've been so miserable, I've been missing you guys most of all; your my little family; not talking to you as much has been heartbreaking :(.
This has been long overdue, but I have a VEGAN RECIPE UP AND RUNNING! AHHH! Sorry that you have had to wait this long, I just haven't had the time to get creative in the kitchen. I hope you enjoy this blog post! Lover you lots! :D

Ingredients:

  • 25 grams 100% dark chocolate;
  • 3 tbs self raising flour;
  • 3tbs almond milk;
  • 1 banana;
  • icing sugar (optional)

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Chop the chocolate into pieces and place into a glass bowl. Fill a medium pan with boiling water (boil the water before hand), turn the hob onto setting 1-2 and leave to simmer. Stir until melted;
  2. add the almond milk and stir into the chocolate until it's one colour;
  3. pick your desired mug (I made these measurements perfect for the mug I was baking in), pour the chocolate mixture into the mug and add the self-raising flour, stir until there are no lumps;
  4. mash the banana up with a folk , or blend it and add it to the cake mixture, stir until fully combined;
  5. put in the microwave for 2 minutes;
  6. tip the mug upside down, and sprinkle icing sugar (optional);
  7. ENJOY! :D

Why these ingredients? 

Banana:
Banana's are filled with potassium, this mineral helps function and repair: cells, tissue and muscle within the body. It also makes you feel more energised by sending electrolyte (an element which sends electricity around the body); along with sodium etc. 

Almond milk:
Almond milk is filled with potassium, this helps prepare and enhance: cells, tissue and organs in the human body. This is essential in everyday life, you always need to repair yourself.

Good morning Little ones! How are you feeling today? I've created a new breakfast recipe that I hope you enjoy as much as me :).

I have an exciting day ahead of me, my family are getting together and holding a summer BBQ! We have this 2-3 times a year; but only in the summer! I've been waiting for this and I can't wait! I will be writing a blog post on this, I might even vlog!
Tell me what you guys are up to today in the comments below or on my social media :).
If you want to see how I made this delicious meal have a little look below and enjoy!

If you want to read another vegan recipe, click here!





Ingredients:

  • 20 grams of red and green grapes;
  • 1 clementine;
  • 25 grams of vegan yogurt, I used Alpro mixed berries;
  • 15 grams of granola,I used Rude Health.

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Prepare all fruit! Wash the red and green grapes and put them to one side. Peal and segregate the clementine segments and put with the grapes;
  2. grab a bowl of your choice and pour your chosen granola at the bottom;
  3. place the yogurt on top of the granola layer;
  4. place the fruit on top;
  5. ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients? 

Grapes:
Grapes contain powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols, which may slow or prevent many types of cancer, including esophageal, lung and mouth. Antioxidants fight infections and improve your immune system. They are also super tasty and replace all the naughty treats. 

Clementines:

Clementines are juicy delights rich in variety of vital nutrients including minerals such as calciummagnesiumpotassium. This is perfect food for your teeth and bones; calcium repairs and strengthens them, so when you get older your bones won't be brittle. Clementines are also filled with vitamins C, which is perfect for the skin, it hydrates, repairs and tightens the skin.

This is the end of this blog post today! I hope you enjoyed reading this! If you make this please tell me what you think or what you changed :). I love seeing you talk to me

Neal's Yard product review

Coconut oil

Twitter:AmyRoseMcGuire
Snapchat: missamymcguire
Email: missamymcguire@hotmail.com
If you want to keep up to date with that I do on a daily basis follow me on my social media above, and I'll be sure to follow you right back :).


DISCLAIMER: I am not being paid by Neal's Yard to write this review, I have been a dedicated customer and fan of their products for some time; this is just my opinion. 

Good afternoon! How are you all and what have you been up to today? Have you seen my blog giveaway? If not then click here!
I thought that it would be great to do another Neal's Yard product review, simply because I am a massive fan of their products; and I want to recommend something worth while to you guys :).
If you want to know detailed information about this product, and what I think about it; have a little read down below :).




PRESENTATION:

In regards to the presentation, Neal's Yard never fail, a beautiful glass bottle is perfect, it makes me feel that my money has been spent well; in comparison to a cheap plastic container. It also makes me feel that this company cares about the fine details, the glass container being one of them; Neal's Yard make sure that their customers are always satisfied; throughout their store, online and products. In addition to this, they have kept their blue theme, this ensures me that this is a Neal's Yard product their royal blue band is worn load and proud by the coconut oil. They have also kept their splash of white shade within their packaging as well, this interlinks with their pasty fresh coconut oil; it makes it feel fresher. And it also tells me that Neal;s Yard want to make sure that they are being consistent throughout. Which in a customers perspective is fantastic, I adore the fact that they pay attention to these details; other companies wouldn't put this much time and effort into this. 
On the other hand, the glass jar makes it convenient, as it's easy to put anywhere, as well as this factor, the screw lid jar ensures that no coconut oil is escaping! It's air tight and completely secure; which is fantastic because I'm such a clumsy person. 

VERSATILE:

  • Can be used in food:Coconut is a perfect substance for butter, I have tried coconut oil out to make pastries and it has worked! I have yet to put that recipe on the blog :). It's super healthy and delicious. Coconut oil is enriched with lauric acid, this builds the immune system by fighting bacteria, and creating a hostile environment for viruses.
  • Hair treatment:
    Coconut oil is an extremely rich substance, the natural oils within the product help repair damaged hair, and strengthens new hair; so that won't become damaged. This has saved my hair, I used to pick and pull my hair because I was so nervous (Trichotillomania); I'm so thankful and lucky that I came across this product. I have tried other coconut oil, but it only makes my hair feel greasy and not nourished like this one. 
  • Nail treatment:
    If you bite your nails, have weak of frail nails use this product! The same oils that repair my hair repair you nails as well! It's amazing! It makes them grow so much faster, and they look stronger and healthier! I used to bite my nails for years; but stopped because of braces; but they were still so weak and frail from the years of neglect; since using this holy grail product; they have never looked better :).
  • Make-up remover:
    When I first bought this, I wanted to see if it would act well as a make-up remover, and by hell it did! Oils remove make-up like a dream, and this sure did! I had heavy full face make-up on at one point, I simply applied this to my face and rubbed it for 3 minutes; I then washed it away with water and it was gone! It even removed the eyeliner from my eyelashes! 

ABOUT PRODUCT:

Profoundly, excluding the multitude of health benefits when you use this in food, it's an outstanding beauty product.For example, the organic virgin coconut oil is a raw and natural source from the environment; because it's been processed without heat, it's been able to hold a mass amount of nutrients. Theses nutrients are what repair hair and nails. For example, when using this for hair, you apply it before you shampoo; this goes deep within the several layers of hair; it brings your damaged hair back to life.  

PRICE:

When I tell you the price, you will be just as shocked as me, (IN A GOOD WAY); it's only ... £9.00. Oh my gosh, £9.00 for 300 grams! It's a mass amount of product,  I have had this for 1 month and I have barely made a dent! I use this everyday for my lips, nails and for taking off my make up! Which by the way is fantastic! Coconut oil is the perfect make up remover; as stated above! 
I would say this would last maybe 6 months to a year! £9.00 in this time frame is fantastic! You are buying into a fantastic brand, they don't test against animals, and their products are all organic and natural; what else do you need? :D 

If you are interested in buying this product, click the link below, it's completely worth it:


Thank you so much for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed it, I sure as hell loved writing it! I have been wanting to write about this or so long, but I wanted to test it out for a while so that I could be 100% truthful in what I was saying. For example, I wouldn't want to say it does this and that without trying it out myself. 
I love you all so very much and I wish you a very good evening! Tell me what you get up to on my social media below!
Like always, stay tuned and stay safe Little ones :) x x x

Avocado pasta recipe

If you want to keep up to date with that I do on a daily basis follow me on my social media above, and I'll be sure to follow you right back :).


Good morning my lovely's! How are you doing today? What are you plans? I know that I'm heading to London later on, and I will be documenting what I do and telling you where I explore in a blog post later on today or tomorrow morning.
If you want to come with me, add me on my social media, as I will be taking pictures constantly, and adding videos on my Snapchat.
That being said, I'm here this morning to announce another vegan recipe! If you want to know how to make this dish, look at the simple instructions below and enjoy :).

If you need other inspiration of vegan meals click here!





INGREDIENTS: 

  • 50 grams vegan spaghetti, I used Freeform;
  • 1 onion;
  • 1 garlic clove;
  • 25 grams sweetcorn;
  • 1 large avocado;
  • salt and pepper; 
  • extra virgin olive oil.

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Prepare your vegetables: dice the onion into fine cubes and do the same with the garlic. Cut the avocado in half and spoon out the inside, drain the sweet corn and put all the vegetables in a bowl. Mash everything together and place to one side;
  2. boil 300ml of water and place in a large pan, then use the salt and pepper to add flavour;
  3. Set the hob to setting 2/gas mark 2, put the spaghetti in a pan and wait for it to soften, when it has place a lid over the top and leave to simmer for 5-8 minutes;
  4. when the pasta is done drain it and place back into the pan, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and stir;
  5. add the vegetable mixture to the spaghetti and stir well;
  6. plate up and enjoy! :D 

WHY THESE INGREDIENTS?

Garlic:
Depending on how we prepare our garlic depends on how much nutrients we get out of it; this is why I have suggested either: cutting or crushing. This increases the enzymes within the garlic, these enzymes can prevent cancer.

Onion:
Onions are a great antioxidant, they also contain low fat saturation, this won't clog up your arteries, as it reduces cholesterol, in comparison to a normal red or green onion, this is so much better for your mental and physical health.

Avocado:
Avocado's are enriched with vitamin C and K. Vitamin C is perfect for the skin, when I make a facial mask I always include avocado! It replenishes the moisture in the skin, as well as tightening it and making it appeared toned and young. Whereas vitamin K is perfect for reducing blood clots, as it's a fat-soluble vitamin. 

Thank you again for reading this post! I know I always say that but I have no other words of phrases but thank you! I really do appreciate you reading my blog posts, this makes me extremely happy and excited for the future :).
I love you all very much, and I will hopefully see you later on today with a little adventures blog post :)
Stay tuned and stay safe Little ones :) x x x

Vegan recipe-breakfast pie

If you want to keep up to date with that I do on a daily basis follow me on my social media above, and I'll be sure to follow you right back :).

Good morning my lovely's! How was your night sleep? I have already watered my flowers, and I'm going to be buying a new addition to the family later on; I will let you guys know all about it :).
In regards to this blog post I made it at the top of my head ... And I can't believe it worked! I was pondering on what I could have for breakfast, and then I thought I have this this and this; why not throw it together? I did and it worked! 
If you want to know how to make this concoction, have a gander below :) 

If you want to see another vegan recipe, click here!









Ingredients for base:

  • 1 cup branflakes;
  • 1 cup oats;
  • 1 cup almond milk.

Ingredients for filling and base:

  • 50 grams of your yogurt of choice, I chose Alpro berry yogurt;
  • 25 grams of green and red grapes;
  • 4 blackberries;
  • 10 grams blueberries;
  • 1 cherry.

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Put the branflakes and oats into a bowl, and crush with your hands; 
  2. add the almond milk and stir until combined, put the mixture at the bottom of the tin and press down with a folk;
  3. add into the tin of your choice. I used a small cake tin as I wanted a thick base;
  4. spread the yogurt on top of the base; 
  5. place your fruits on top of the yogurt; you don't have to make it fancy I just wanted it to look pretty;
  6. put in the fridge for 30-45 minutes; 
  7. cut your slice, drizzle golden syrup (optional) and ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients:

Almond milk:
Almond milk is filled with potassium, this helps prepare and enhance: cells, tissue and organs in the human body. This is essential in everyday life, you always need to repair yourself.

Blueberries:

The blueberry's fiber, potassium, folate, and vitamin C coupled with its lack of cholesterol, all support heart health. The fiber in blueberries helps lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood and decrease the risk of heart disease this is perfect if heart disease runs in the family.

Blackberries:

Much like spinach, raisins, apples, plums and grapes, blackberries are rich in bioflavonoids and Vitamin C. This is perfect for the skin, it replaces new cells, as well as keeping the skin firm and soft.  


Strawberries:


A strawberry is an excellent antioxidant, this means that they are the first call when it comes to fighting diseases in the body; they also prevent causing other damage to other cells. Strawberries also donate electrons to unstable free radicals. This means that they don't have to take electrons from innocent cells.

Grapes:

Grapes contain powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols, which may slow or prevent many types of cancer, including esophageal, lung and mouth. Antioxidants fight infections and improve your immune system. They are also super tasty and replace all the naughty treats. 

Cherries:

Cherries contain powerful antioxidants like anthocyanins and cyanidin, these components build the immune system, and also detox your body from any unwanted bacteria, as well as making your healthier.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, it was my own creation and it actually worked out! I still can't believe that this actually worked and tastes amazing! Thank you again for reading this post, I would love to see your recreations of this recipe! 

Please tell me what you think, and give me suggestions of what you would like me to make in the future. 
I will see you again later on today with a gardening update, I'm adding a new addition to the flower family :).
If you want to see what else I have been up to today, or follow me around follow my social media platform below this post. I will follow you back and we can have a conversation about our common interests :).
I love you all so very much! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! :) x x x

  • 3 carrots;
  • 125 grams spinach;
  • extra virgin olive oil;
  • salt and pepper;
  • 6 lasagna pasta sheets, (I used FreeFrom, you don't have to cook these ones in water).
P.S you just place the FreeFrom lasagna sheets like you would when making a lasagna, you don't cook these beforehand. They cook when they are in the oven. 

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

  1. Prepare your vegetables: wash the spinach and place it in a bowl, cut the onion and dice into small pieces, do the same with the garlic. Chop the carrots into tiny circles and place to one side with the rest of the vegetables;
  2. get a small pan and place the carrots in already boiling water (boil the water in a kettle and place in the pan), cook for 15 minutes of gas mark 4;
  3. preheat the oven to 200;
  4. while the carrots are cooking mix the onion, garlic, salt pepper and extra virgin olive oil in a bowl;
  5. when the carrots are cooked, put them in a bowl. Put the onion and garlic mixture into a pan; cook until the onion is golden and the spinach has reduced;
  6. when the vegetables have cooked, drain the mixture and put into a bowl;
  7. put the first 2 lasagna sheets in your desired cooking tin; layer the tomato sauce on top and place the carrots and spinach mixture on top. Then layer another 2 lasagna sheets;
  8. repeat this process until the carrots and spinach mixture is finished; top the final layer with tomato sauce;
  9. put kitchen foil over the lasagna and cook for 30-40 minutes;
  10. plate your dish and enjoy! :D 

Why these ingredients? 

Spinach:
Spinach is high in fiber, antioxidants and strengthens the immune system. Spinach is perfect if you suffer with constipation, I know that I used to. Since eating spinach I haven't had any trouble with my bowls, apart from the fact that I suffer with IBS.
Also because spinach helps build the immune system, it means that when the colder months settle in; you are already fit and healthy enough to fight all those nasty infections and colds. 

Carrots:
This root vegetable is also a good source of antioxidant agents. Furthermore, carrots are rich in vitamin A, Vitamin C. Vitamin C is perfect for the skin, this is what makes the skin glow, as well as repairing cells and making it firmer. 

Garlic:
Depending on how we prepare our garlic depends on how much nutrients we get out of it; this is why I have suggested either: cutting or crushing. This increases the enzymes within the garlic, these enzymes can prevent cancer.

Onion:
Onions are a great antioxidant, they also contain low fat saturation, this won't clog up your arteries, as it reduces cholesterol, in comparison to a normal red or green onion, this is so much better for your mental and physical health.
