Quick, Easy, Kind of healthy meal.

This isn't the sort of blog post that I thought I would be doing when I started my blog, however, I am! I got inspiration for this whilst doing my uni work (which im drowning in a the moment because of deadlines). At the moment Im writing a feature for a magazine about "healthy eating on a budget" as most of us girls are looking forward to our holidays and want our bikini body back whilst saving so we have lots of spending money so the last thing we want to spend money on is food!

The ingredients you will need are these!

- 

-Bacon ( 4/5 rashers depending on how meaty you want it to be make sure you cut it into small pieces)
- Mushrooms (4/5 sliced mushrooms again depending on how much you want)
- A handful of spinach
- Any pasta of your choice I used spaghetti
- Linguini
- Can or tin of tomatos
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt & Pepper to season.

First of all heat up some oil in a pan,  then add the garlic and bacon together cook until its brown. Whilst the bacon is cooking heat some water in a saucepan for the pasta, when the water is boiling add the pasta and leave it to cook.

Once the bacon has browned add the mushrooms and mix them in so they get the flavor of the garlic. once cooked add the spinach and let that cook then add the tin/carton of chopped tomatos and season with salt & pepper, if you like a bit of a kick to it add some chilli or crushed chillis to it.

Once the pasta is cooked add it to the sauce and mix it all in.  & you should end up with something like this...

It isn't the most attractive looking dishes which has ever been made, but it tastes really good and its rediculously easy to make and altogeher costs around £6/7 and theres bound to be some left over to have the next day for lunch or dinner! Give it a go and let me know what you think!

Reviews - Justin Bieber, Thriller Live & A Chorus Line

Last month, I was quite lucky considering I'm a student and went to go and see a few musicals and also Justin Bieber in concert!

The first thing I saw last month was Justin Bieber in concert at the O2 in London. Some of you are most probably thinking (if you dislike Justin Bieber) why the hell did you go and see him, and the reason for this is my housemate at uni Becca asked me to go with her as she is literally one of his biggest fans!

Luckily we didn't go on his first opening night where he came on stage an hour later or something rediculous, instead we went on the Thursday when he collapsed on stage! I've seen a lot of concerts at the o2 and his was probably one of my favourites that i've been too. The atmosphere that you get when your inside the actual arena is just amazing its completely buzzing which is what you want when you go to a concert. I do feel sorry for him, hes 19 and he is incredibly talented, he has a beautiful voice and he is an amazing dancer as well, and at that age to put on a performance that he did is incredible. He's an inspiration to his fans as well, telling them to believe in themselves and what they do to acheive things in life. And if you want to do well then you do have to "believe".

The o2 - Justin Bieber "Believe" tour.

Thriller -

My Mum's friend was over from Paris so my Mum wanted to take her friend to see a West End musical so we all decided on Thriller and we didn't regret this decission at all. I love going to see a good musical, it makes such a good evening its a bit pricey but its nice to do it now and again and if you go on lastminute.com and other similar websites you can get some great deals too!

I wanted to go and see it as a friend of mine from school Jordan Palmer is in it. (she wasn't in it when we went but she is now!) its quite a new musical to the West End and I think it will be around for sometime as its fantastic. Its based on the well-known, amazingly talented, Micheal Jackson and includes all his hit songs right from when he was in the Jackson 5. The whole cast are all incrdibly talented and the atmosphere which they create in the theatre is amazing as well the audience were getting up and dancing, it is deffinitely a "feel good" musical and I would recomend to go and see it especially if you are a Micheal Jackson fan!

A Chorus Line -

After going to see Thiller it got my mum & I in the mood to see another musical so we decided on A Chorus Line at the London Palladium. When we arrived at the Palladium we thought it was only right to have a glass of champagne to get us ready for the show!

We went to the matinee so there wasn't an interval half way through so if you do like a break I wouldn't recomend to see a matinee, however this wasn't a problem for us! It probably wasn't one of my favourite musicals that i've seen as I found it quite repetitive but thats not to say it wasn't good as all the cast members were all extremely talented. Its about people auditioning to be in a Broadway musical, its a chance of a lifetime for them and its the opportunity to do what they've always dreamed of doing that is to have the chance to dance.

The story is told through dancing, singing and acting, however some off it does get a bit repetitive so I would probably reccomend to go to the evening performance rather than the matinee

I've been a bit rubbish with updating my blog but hopefully I'm back into it now so there will be more things coming on here!

Take me back!

Last summer , I went to New York with my beautiful Mum. It was the second time we've been. The first time we went literally all we did was shop until we dropped and then we would go back to our hotel, (The Ritz Carlton, Battery Park) which is absolutely beautiful and we would have champagne cocktails having a well needed mother and daughter bonding time!

However when we went this summer we did a lot more touristy things which was SO much fun and actually really interesting and ofcourse we had time to fit in quite a lot of shopping as well! As our hotel was about a 10 minute walk from the 9/11 memorial we went there. Its one of them places you go to and you get shivers all down your spine as you know that thousands of people died there in the tragic events of 9/11. We also went up to the top of the Empire State building, the view from the top of there is absolutely phenominal. We went on a "Hop on Hop Off" buss which take you to all the touristy sites and tells you about the history of New York which is also really interesting and is 100% worth doing!

Also the shopping side of things. I found Soho was probably the best place to do shopping in New York. As you have a hugggeee Topshop (my favourite shop) urban outfitters, Victoria's Secret, Bloomingdales and loads of other really good shops as well! 

I really want to go back there this year with my Mum for another girly holiday as theres still so much more that we want to see! But I think were planning on going to Italy, as I've never been and I would absolutely love to go to somewhere like Venice or Milan and eat loadsss of pizza and pasta! Yummm!

About time..

I thought it was about time that I created my own blog considering that I am nearly half way through my second year of uni doing a journalism course. 

This year has deffinately been a shock to the system with the amount of work which we have to do compared to last year as it was rediculously easy! Its only just hit me how much we have to do, Im normally one of those people who leaves everything to the last minute thinking that I'll be able to get it all done which I do , but thinking about it now I do regret it sometimes as I always think that I could of done better? So this time Im not doing it & i feel so much better for it because I feel a sense of acheivement!.. So there's a piece of advice for you guys.. Don't leave things until the last minute , do your best in everything you do & then you will regret nothing. 

Anyway on this blog it will be mainly about life and my thoughts , some reviews & a bit of fashion and makeup added in too! :)
