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...]

Edited: I can't believe I published this post last week and forgot to include the images of the colouring pages!  I thought I'd reshare today so you don't miss out though....

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.

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. I've made it loads before and never shared it because it literally looks horrible in every photo I've ever tried to take of it.  I've just made another batch and decided to share it anyway because it's too good not to share so we're going to need to just pretend that it looks nice in the photos. 😂 Everything … [Read more...]

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 before Christmas 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 … [Read more...]
