HO HO HO Hello!

Welcome to another Christmas themed post! Today I'm going to show you how to make these delicious Christmas tree themed cupcakes. They're perfect for parties and cute gifting ideas. Plus they're easy to make and even easier on the eyes! Let's get started!

After making the delicious and healthy blueberry pancakes a few months ago, I decided it was time to share another pancake recipe and this time, it's the strawberry breakfast pancakes!

These are light, fluffy and cook really, really fast, which means they're perfect for the rushed mornings! They also taste amazing and are a pretty great way to start the day cause they're filling and healthy! And since the weekend is right around the corner, they'll be a delicious way to indulge before the week starts again!

I have always been a big fan of the good ol' cheesecake! I had been looking for the perfect recipe that was easy to make and wasn't too fatty and after searching and searching and searching, I finally found it! The mini baked cheesecake is light easy and tastes delicious. It also makes a great dessert to be served to family or friends (or you can eat it all yourself like I did!).

Writing killer blog posts can often be a challenging aspect of blogging. It can be quite disheartening when you spend time and effort writing a post only to find that it barely got any views/comments. I know it was something that happened to me a lot during my third or fourth month of blogging and after a lot of research and thought, I finally understood why, which is why I decided to share with you some of my ways to write better blog posts that promote blog growth.

I know we can often get stuck in a rut when it comes to new blog post ideas - trust me, been there, done that! I know how frustrating it can get sitting at the computer, fingers poised over the keyboard and then absolutely stuck for ideas. That's why I came up with a whole list of no-fluff blog post ideas that most bloggers can use which'll keep your readers coming back for more!

1 | RECIPES 

This is such a basic idea. Share one of your favourite sweet treats, savoury dishes or afternoon snacks with your readers. It's lots of fun to prepare, shoot and then eat at the very end! I love baking on my blog and then sharing the recipes with my readers. They also happen to be some of the most popular posts on my blog.

Examples: Although I have an entire page with recipes, the Healthy Blueberry Pancake, Malteser Cupcake and Oreo Cookie Slice have to be my favourites.

2 | BLOGGING TIPS AND TRICKS

Most readers are bloggers themselves, who have sites and posts of their own. Share some of your blogging experience or tips about how you started the blog, or found time to shoot and edit posts, where you got ideas from etc. It'll be a favourite for sure.

There are two types of chocolate chip muffins in this world; the home made ones and the enormous, bakery style ones! Now, although the home-made ones are absolutely yummy, I decided to show you exactly how to get the big and soft bakery style chocolate chip muffins you may see in stores.

The Oreo cookie bar is a delicious and fun way to enjoy the classic Oreo cookie. With a soft inside and yummy nuggets of Oreo bits, it's perfect with a glass of milk. This is the perfect snack or after school treat.

In case you haven't been outside in a while or live in a particularly warm house: winter's approaching. It's okay though because that just means a whole lot more time to bake, or watch TV or read.

I am all about the healthy living. When you're healthy, your body feels good. And when your body feels good, so do you. Warm water and lemon is something I recently discovered during my time on the internet and I was eager to try it. Not only is it great as a detox water, it's amazing for the body and has many health benefits.

HOW TO DO IT:  Grab a glass and fill it with warm water. Avoid cold or hot water as it is harder for our bodies to digest it. Squeeze in half a lemon (more or less, depending on how you go) and drink it up. It is most beneficial in the morning but can be drunk any time of the day.

Hey guys! So I don't know about you but I love cookies. I love to make them, I love to eat them, I love the way they make everything better instantly.

With that thought in mind I decided to show you how to make the best cookies ever. And yes, they are called that (well I call them that anyway.) I'll be honest here, I've had my fair share of mishaps in the kitchen with burning or not sifting or butter exploding in the microwave but these cookies are so easy that anyone can make them. Trust me.

They are also super delicious and I'll admit, they aren't the lowest in fat but having one or two a day won't harm anyone. Promise.

Anyway, let's begin shall we.

Continuing on from the previous book of the month post (which you all seemed to love!) I have a brand new book to share with you all! Hope you enjoy and if you have some book recommendations for me or a book you'd like for me to review make sure to leave that in a comment below!

One of my favourite things recently has been cookie dough. I love the taste and texture so I decided to make my very own cookie dough truffles using this recipe.

I know there has been a lot of debate about e-books and hard copy books. Some people tend to prefer the soft copy and easily transportable e-book while others like the tangible hardcopy which they can carry around and flick through. More than general preferences, many scientists have also researched the effects of both on health and wellbeing. 

I happen to be one of those people who enjoy both, e-books and hard copy books. They both have their advantages and disadvantages which is what I will be discussing in this post.
