Blog Designs

Im not sure if its because i like everything to be perfect, but designing my blog and sticking to it is proving a problem. Ive found many different templates to buy, which look great, but i want to be able to say i created it myself! Anyone with some design advice please please please send me a message or if anyone has any ideas on how to alter my current template for the better, let me know!

Food, food, food

Porridge is my absolute favourite at the moment. I have it almost everyday for breakfast and even find myself having it for supper some days. My other half uses oat milk a lot to cook so I decided to buy myself some and use it in my porridge. With a few pinches of suger its perfection. 

Oat cakes! I currently cannot get enough of oat cakes. I would eat them non stop if I could, I love them! I have swapped them into my diet in place of crisps (another food item I could spend my life eating.) They're extremely versatile so you can eat them with practically anything, but I simply eat them plain, depending on what I fancy. I've found a recipe to make my own, so il let you know how that goes.

I have also discovered two types of fruit and nut bars that I have fallen in love with. The first is Eat Natural's Brazil and sultana with peanuts and almonds. If you don't like nuts then this isn't for you, but if you do you will fall in love with this product, like I did. The other fruit and nut bar is Nakd's Cocoa Orange bar. They have an odd smell and appearance but god theyre tasty.

A thing I like to do at the moment is make bread. Yes,I do cheat by using a bread maker, but it's just as fun. The best thing about using the machine is that you can select the time you want it to be finished for and hey presto you can wake up in the morning to a nice warm fresh loaf. It's simple and easy and there's nothing better then having a warm piece of granary bread for breakfast with melted butter. Heaven!

Book Worming

Whilst being at college I never had time to read anything other than a biology or chemistry book. I decided that in my gap year I would attempt to read more. I know, I know its a bit of a lame "goal" to have for a gap year, but I loved reading as a child and, in a way, missed the delights of never being able to put down a book. To start my reading marathon I read 'Gone Girl', a book I had heard much about due to the making of the film. As soon as I finished it I forced it upon my sister and told her she must read it(and that she only had a few days too because I had to return it to the library!) I absolutely bloody loved it. It would definitely be in my top 10 books, it was that good. I spent my lunch breaks at work reading it and literally couldn't put it down. The only bad thing about it was the ending. I mean, Gillian Flynn, what was that about? People that have read it will know exactly what I'm talking about! To those that haven't, READ IT! Even with the poor ending, it's worth it. 

After spending two weeks solidly engrossed in the book I thought I'd take a trip to the cinema and see the film. Now I would say the book got 10 out of 10, but sadly 5 minutes into the film I was already bored. I'm not sure if that was because the film version was simply rubbish or because I knew everything that was going to happen, therefore removing any sense of excitement from it. Either way, I didn't enjoy it and would recommend just sticking to the book, or for those not so into reading, just go and see the film.

A day in the life of..

This is me in a bombshell. My names Rebecca Gibson and I'm currently 18 years young (nearly 19 incase you cared). I've just started my gap year, after spending the past however many years trapped in education, and kicked it off with a two week trip to Thailand. 'A day in the life of..' is quite simply, about myself, but not so boring. I will be talking about many different and wonderful things in which I hope you enjoy reading!
