My Green Juice


I've joined the juicing bandwagon as last week I bought myself a hefty juicer! Recently, I've been finding I'm not very hungry at breakfast time but still need energy to keep me going until lunch. So, this is where the green juice comes in! Having a juice is so refreshing and gives me more energy than one might think...It takes just a few minutes and all you have to do is throw the ingredients into the juicer. I thought I'd share my recipe - although it's nothing too special:


Ingredients:

1/2 cucumber 
2 apples
1 stalk of celery
10 spinach leaves
2 tsp of lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla essence
Pinch of cinnamon
Splash of cold water

Put in a juicer and enjoy!

My Nostalgic Thing




Autumn is drawing closer, so me and my bf took advantage of the sunny afternoon and did a spot of blackberry picking! With jumpers tied around waists and old ice-cream containers in hands, we were ready to explore forests and fields in true style (ha.)
There's nothing more nostalgic than venturing outside foraging for blackberries and bringing home your finds to make something yummy. The most popular recipe is of course, blackberry and apple pie but they can be used in jams, ice-cream, trifles and sprinkled on top of oats for breakfast.




I love it because it's free and gets you outside. When me and my brother were little Granny used to take us blackberry picking. We'd come home and watch the crumble turn to a golden colour in the oven ready for Mums arrival. The only downside is the fact your hands end up stained the purple colour of dried, inky blackberry juice if you’re not careful...
