A Fresh Start ~ How To: Survive In The Jungle

My first week of school is officially over and honestly it proved to be much harder than I thought that it would be. 

Year 10 involves a lot of hard work (all of which I am prepared to do) but it did hit me with a bang and by the second day I was stressed. The work isn't overwhelming but it will literally pile up quickly if you don't do each piece on the day that it's set.

Staying On The Topic Of School...

I have noticed that over the years many people feel as though first impressions are everything at school. Obviously if you're meeting new people you want to be kind and you don't want to be disliked but I feel as though first impressions are not anything to get stressed or upset about. I know people who have given up on the idea of 'change for the better' because they think that their reputation is already ruined.

Some people don't realise that other people's opinion of you can change and the thoughts of others should never stop you from achieving something that you really want to achieve.

In school I definitely feel as though my class mates become new people each year and teachers' perceptions of pupils change too. The person that you were in Year 7 is almost forgotten by the time that you reach Year 9. People expect you to behave the way that you do now and see you as the person that you are right now. 

People change all of the time because they keep growing and learning and continue to craft 'who they are' and what they believe. 

It's never too late to start again and change the course of history. It's all up to you.

Urban Herbivore ~ Restaurant Review


On one of my Canadian adventures, I stopped by a restaurant called Urban Herbivore.
As soon as I spotted it I loved the quirky name and it's Eco-Friendly theme.

At Urban Herbivore you can chose from a wide range of sandwiches, soups, salads, deserts and drinks. I chose the 'Llama' which was the smallest salad (but still massive to me) and it tasted really good! I highly recommend it and think that it is perfect for on the go.

I have been obsessed with Iced Teas and Frappés recently, so I tried their Iced Tea and it didn't disappoint! (My Mum wasn't a very big fan of it though haha). 


I noticed that they list the ingredients for each dish on the menu. It gave me an idea *insert light-bulb emoji*. Whenever I'm stuck with packed lunch ideas for school and the beauty guru videos on YouTube just don't cut it, I'll adapt recipes from my favourite restaurants (e.g. The Panda Salad) and add other things that I like to make it unique ;). 


The lady behind the counter was really kind and gave me a free cupcake when I told her that I would write a review of the restaurant :)
The cupcake was gluten free (a plus for people with allergies) and was literally so yummy! 

Urban Herbivore is definitely a place that you need to check out, if you ever find yourself in Toronto.  (They even do catering)!!

My Trek Through The 6

When this post is published I'll be kissing Summer goodbye and hopping into the car, on my way hell school. 

Fun, right!? haha

I'm actually excited for this new academic year. I will be starting my GCSEs (more daunting than exciting) but will also be in Year 10 and one step closer to ruling the school ;).

As one more little farewell to dear old Summer, here is a photo reel of my North American voyage! 

Enjoy x
































I snapchatted a lot during this holiday and will continue to snapchat regularly. Add Me if you'd like to see OOTDs and snippets of what I'm up to (including mini hauls and random ideas).

I hope that you all enjoyed this post! Be sure to come back tomorrow to read a review of Urban Herbivore. A restaurant suitable for all! x

10,000 PAGEVIEWS & Titanic Shakes

Last night I hit over 10,000 pageviews! 

When I made this blog I wasn't even sure if it would become a long term hobby or if I would get bored somewhere along the way and I definitely did not expect to hit 10,000 pageviews this soon!

I haven't even reached a year of blogging yet! haha

Thank you to everyone that reads my blog and to anyone reading this that may have clicked on my blog title for the first time. :)

Now onto the Titanic Shakes!!!

One of my most favourite things to make are Titanic Shakes.

All you will need to make a Titanic Shake is :

  • Fruit


  • Ice


  • and Milk 


(you can add other things like whipped cream and sprinkles and chocolate sauce).

The first thing that you need to do, is to put all of the ice that you want to use into a blender.

Don't blend the ice into smithereens because when you put it all into the cup, you want it to form a big glacier.

Once you have blended the ice and scooped out and into the cup, put the cup to the side and start to blend your fruit with the milk.

I used a banana because banana shakes are my absolute favourite but you can use whatever you want to use!

Next add whatever you want to it! It can be a very healthy milkshake or super unhealthy. Mine started off as a healthy milkshake and then I added chocolate sauce so... what can ya do? hehe.   

And voilà! There you have it your very own Titanic Shake, Courtesy of Peace Firestone! 




I hope that you enjoyed this post and thank you again for 10,000 pageviews! x
