#SUPPERSUNDAY - Making Dinner For The Family!

Hey friends!

So yesterday, I didn't really eat anything interesting but today I helped my dad make dinner for the family! We made yummy Shepherd's pie for my mum, dad and me and then sausage hotpot for my little brother. Both were super easy to make and quite healthy (I think!) compared to the stuff I usually eat! Total time to make both dishes, including shopping for ingredients, was an hour and a half which is super fast for a home cooked meal! I would totally make these dishes at uni for myself and my flatmates.

That's everything for today! I think I'm going to stay one behind on days, so you'll get Melancholy Monday tomorrow. I did post up a new video on my YouTube channel last night about my first trip to LUSH, so if that's something that interests you, head on over and watch it! I will try to remember to put the player in here or a separate post tonight.

Until tomorrow,

X Liss:-)

#MELANCHOLYMONDAY - Revision

Hey friends!

As many of you will know, it is January exam time here in the UK and I, like many other students, have exams this month. Sad times.

If any of you students are like me and your favourite past time is procrastination, then you will also understand the art of not revising until the very last minute. And we're talking, morning of the exam late revision.

So to distract myself from my lack of revision so far, I went shopping. I bought quite a few things, but I'll talk about those on Wednesday, when I'm going to do my very first haul! Yay! I'm contemplating doing it as a video too so that should be fun!

Another sad thing that I've done today is taken down all of the Christmas decorations in my house :-( Here's a photo of our tree when it was bare...

It looks so sad and horrible! The whole room just looks so empty and bare, I can't handle it :') Also, real trees drop a stupid amount of needles, look!

That's after we moved the tree outside... Far too many needles! 

That's all for today, I'm off to drown my sorrows in black nail varnish because Christmas is over. So until tomorrow...

#SUPPERSUNDAY - Gourmet Home Meal!

Hey friends!

Here we are, our very FIRST Supper Sunday! Today was a pretty good day, I won't lie. So here's what I ate today:-)

Breakfast

I actually skipped breakfast this morning because I woke up pretty late and I prefer lunch food... Oopsie! Please don't follow my example, breakfast is good for you!

Lunch

For lunch today I ate a cheeseburger (totally healthy I know) and a McVitie's double chocolate muffin with some Walkers prawn cocktail crisps. It was completely unhealthy but soooo nice and I've eaten sandwiches during the rest of the week so I felt like it was okay to indulge today.

Dinner

For dinner, my mum made Spaghetti Bolognese from scratch. She added diced tomato, onion and cooked minced meat to Bolognese sauce. She heated all of it in a wok until it was piping hot (I sound like a recipe book!). It was so super yummy and just to tease everyone, I took a photo for you to see. 

That's all for this week's Supper Sunday! So until tomorrow,

#STYLESATURDAY - Lazy day!

Hey readers!

I almost feel like we're friends, at this point! So, yesterday I started up an Insta for this blog and I've already hit 60 followers which is AMAZING! Thank you so much to all the people that have followed me and if you haven't given it a look yet, my user is "lissblogs" and I'll leave a link to my profile [[here]].

Welcome to our first Style Saturday!

So, here's some photos of my OOTD...

          Typical "Liss" selfie, really bad photo!

I'm going to walk you through what I wear on a typical lazy day, as I have no plans for today and I want to keep warm because it is absolutely FREEZING in Lincolnshire (which is where I live when I'm not studying btw).

What I'm Wearing

T-Shirt: "Brooklyn Mixer" tee in a Large, given to me for free at our Fresher's Fair back in October.

This tee is in dark blue and has a logo on the front with the words "Mixer" and "#beerandbeats" and then a backwards slogan on the rear.

Joggers: "University of Liverpool" high waist jogging bottoms in grey and red, bought from the Liverpool Guild of Students shop @ £20.00.

They're mostly grey and have one thick red stripe down each side, as well as our university crest on the top of the left thigh.

As you can tell, on a lazy day, I don't bother with makeup and my hair gets thrown into a ponytail to keep it off of my face. The only thing I have done to my face is cleanse, tone and moisturise this morning to make it all soft and clean. :-)

Hope you enjoyed our first Style Saturday and here's to many more!

Until tomorrow :-D

#PHOTOFRIDAY - How Embarrassing!

Hello all!

Two posts in two days... What is this madness?! Well it's Photo Friday! (I know, I'm so good at this, weow) And as promised in my little description yesterday, I bring you an absolutely BRILLIANT embarrassing photo of little me...

Laugh all you want, I did plenty.

 

This particularly awful photo of me is taken from my lovely best friend, Holly's Facebook page (hey, go see her blog http://theillustratedbaker.blogspot.com). How awful is it? I find myself cringing particularly hard at how this photo is still online for all to see :-(

 

This photo was taken in 2007 (posted in 2009 as a haunting reminder of how young and horrible I was) when I was in Year 7 and age 11. I had a terrible obsession with that awful yellow headband you can see (thank god it snapped a few weeks later) and my tie was far too long. My shirt was always perfect, as you can see by the blindingly white colour of my collar, and my blazer always done up.

 

I was a w f u l. So please forgive me for the mess I was at age 11 and I pray and hope that my brother won't end up the same way and that the gods of the choices that you first make in high school are kinder to him than they were to me. Lord knows, these photos come back for me every year.

 

I hope you all enjoy laughing at my very first Photo Friday and I can't wait for the next! Thankfully, tomorrow will be a more recent photo of me and I will be looking (I hope) much more acceptable than I do here.

 

Until tomorrow... :-)
