If you saw last January's month favourites post then you'll know that I had a blogging re-think and decided to bring back a few of the things I used to enjoy sharing on my blogs so I started by bringing back my monthly favourites posts!February 2021 | Monthly Favourites Film/TV I rarely have much to say in this category but this month I've discovered how to get American Netflix and managed to finally watch a TV series that I've wanted to watch since I went to LA with Miss Frugal. We went to Warner Bros Studio and were lucky enough to get to spend some time on the set of a show that was … [Read more...]

What do you do when you have some bananas to use up and a bag of pistachios? Obviously, you make Pistachio and Banana bread! 😂This Pistachio and Banana bread is a great twist on what's become a bit of a classic recipe over the last 12 months here in the UK. It's easy to make, super tasty and gives you a chance to use up bananas that are on the turn! The only thing I will say is that shelling pistachio nuts is NOT my favourite way to spend a Sunday morning - honestly, my thumbs are still sore a couple of hours later!  And my 300g bag of pistachios ended up as just 100g of … [Read more...]

Why not give your hair a treat with this DIY moisturising hair mask which is perfect for dry hair!First of all, I should say that the main ingredients of this hair mask are avocado and banana which means there is no way that it's ever going to look pretty in any way.

These three Ingredient Oreo Truffles are the tastiest homemade sweets you'll ever make and if you can decorate them better than me then you could even give them as a homemade gift.I first made a batch of these little beauties a few months ago and I couldn't believe how something so simple to make could taste so amazing! I had one or two (maybe three as they're very more-ish) and then left them to set.  I started to write the recipe up as I was super excited to share them with you all but before I could come back to take some photos, the kids found them and left me with … [Read more...]

This virtual scavenger hunt for kids is just what you need to help your children stay in touch with their friends during the madness that we're living in right now.I have two teenagers who are struggling with Lockdown 3.0 and they at least have a good understanding of why we're having to stay at home and not see our friends and family.  I can't even imagine what it must be like for younger children who won't really understand the reasons behind it. My two are able to keep in touch with their friends on Snapchat, Instagram and on Xbox and genuinely, if they weren't able to do that … [Read more...]
