Thursday Morning Pancakes

Thursday morning consisted of pancake eating, snow falling and cat stroking, my favourite type of morning! Now that I'm trying to eat healthier and fresher food I found this recipe for healthy pancakes on Ella's blog. They are super delicious and you can have any topping you want. I went for banana, blueberries and honey. I also used coconut oil when cooking them so they had a lovely coconuty taste too!

Amsterdam Photo Diary - Day 1

I got back from my trip to Amsterdam last Wednesday and I have finally had time to write up a blog post on my trip. I had such a lovely time and I wish we could have stayed longer, these are just my photos from Day 1 because there are so many so I'm going to split up each day into separate posts. We only got to Amsterdam around 5 o'clock so we went straight to our hotel to drop off our bags and then went out for something to eat.

We then went for a walk around the center and took lots of photos of the pretty canals and flower boxes. I saw lots of really cool bikes including this milka chocolate one which I loved! We popped in too a newsagent to buy some water and milka chocolate and I saw 'Cannabis pops' for sale, it seems strange seeing them because Cannabis obviously isn't legal here but it is in Amsterdam, I'm not sure if these were real or a jokey thing though. At about 10-11 o'clock we went to a cute little pub on the corner just down from our hotel ,there pubs are different than ours,  they are quite small and cosy and in the evening they serve coffee and hot chocolate and have candles lit outside. We got hot chocolates and my parents got coffee's and as soon as we sat down this resident little white cat climbed straight onto my knee for a nap! Unfortunately I was wearing black leggings but never mind eyy! She was such a cute little cat and I wanted to keep her or smuggle her up to our hotel room.

And that was the end of day one, we were all really tired so we just went back to our hotel room after that. I will post about day 2 and 3 in the next few days hopefully! I also need to do a ' Car boot finds' post from this weekend but I'm worried people find them a bit repetitive so let me know if you would or wouldn't like to see one. Sorry I haven't had much time to post recently, I am doing my work experience at place that does card designs at the moment and I am there from 9-5:30 so I don't have much free time, but I will be back soon!

I Love Carboots

Easter is over... so you know what that means? CARBOOT TIME!  I do love car boots, especially when I find a bargain. Admittedly sometimes they are full of junk or just things from house clearances but occasionally you spot a jem. Today I went to the first one of this year and I found a few little things that caught my eye! What are the best things that you have found at a car boot? Let me know in the comments, and there is a little extra at the end!

This Rimmel eyeshadow was in a box of 5 things for £1. It's not something I would have normally bought but I couldn't find a 4th item so I thought why not?

 These were also in the box of 5 things for £1 and so was the little black pot and the makeup bag below. The colour trend lipstix is by Avon, (I hadn't realized this at the time)

 

I bought this little matte black glass pot to put my makeup brushes in.

 

 Rose truffle, Siren, Totally Teal

I have never tried a No7 nail polish before, I don't know why but I never look at the No7 counter either. Perhaps I should! But anywhooo  the two on the left were 50P for both! They look quite similar in the photo but the one in the middle called Siren is definitely much more red, whereas the Rose ruffle is a much softer pink. The totally teal polish was 50p and is a mini one.

 This pretty little hanging heart was only 30p! I love things like this to hang in my room.

 

And here is the little surprise, (he wasn't from the car boot, don't worry!) This is the little kitten I mentioned in my last post, we got him yesterday and I just love him. When we went to pick him up there was also a little tiny black kitten who was just a few weeks old, I wanted to get him too, but he would have be too little to be around are bigger cats. We have now changed the name of this little black cat from 'Inky' to 'Pickle', purely because we have another cat called Indie who is a bit daft to say the least, so we thought he would get confused when we call them. I hope you like him, and don't forget to let me know what your best car boot buys have been!
