Experimental Oatmeal

woke up this morning feeling extremely peckish for something savoury and sweet. It had to be filling but the portion shouldn't be a huge amount. I usaully go for some fried eggs and my favourite chai tea, but today I felt experimental. I ended up with this delicious oatmeal recipe for you to try.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup whole milk or almond milk. (I used almond for a bit more sweetness)
1/2 oatmeal (I used an organic brand called "McCann"
1/2 a banana for texture
Honey for drizzling
Cinnamom for a bit of spice
2-3 strawberries to garnish

I started with the milk and I poured it into a saucepan, waited for it to simmer then I added the oatmeal. When it was almost done, I added half a banana for as a sweetner and to add a texture.
I scooped it onto a plate, drizzled some honey, sprinkle some cinnamon and garnished with some strawberries! 

It tastes so good and you can sneak in your 5-a-day fruit into it! Its quick, easy and delish! I hope you guys try this recipe out!

What's on my phone

Hello darlings,
So last week I got the Iphone 5s (about time) and I love it. It's my first apple product so I'm very cautious of where I put it, you know how easy it is for them to break.
Anyways I'm just gonna talk about the some of the apps that I have and that I would recommend to you.

Social Apps:
Vine- Everyone needs a good laugh.

Viber- I'm broke and low on credit and so are all my other friends, so we have Viber.

Instagram- I must have Instagram, people need to know what I've been eating, no but honestly, I love Instagram, also I love photography so it's nice having a place to post my pictures.

Twitter- I need a place to post up my thoughts.

Snapchat- I don't even snap anyone back yet I still have the app.

Skype- Video calls from relatives -.-

Youtube- I NEED YOUTUBE!....without it I would just die. Btw I might start making youtube videos.

Tumblr- What goes up on my tumblr blog is a secret......

9gag- Once again we all need a laugh.

Blogger- For blogers on the go or if I'm too lazy to turn on my laptop.


Photography Apps:
Retrica- Gives you beautiful retro filters but down side is that if you want to edit photos in your album you have to pay for the pro version.

Rookie- Really nice vintage filters.

InstaEffect- Adds really bright effects onto your pic.

PicCollage- Everyone needs an app to make cute collages.

Fotor- Best app out of everything. I even have it on my laptop.

Camera360- It's also one of the best apps, but I haven't tried it out yet.

Capture- It's for youtube videos, I haven't tried it out yet. Bianca suggested this to me so I downloaded it. Hopefully when I start making youtube videos I'll use it.

Games:
CandyCrush- How can anyone not have it!

PetRescue- It's addicting

FarmHerosOkay what's up with games produced by 'King', they're like drugs you get addicted to them and then you're trying to find different types but in a way they're all similar.

TempleRun2- I'm amazing at this game and when your good at a game you keep it no matter how old and irrelevant it is.

QuizUp- It's nice proving to random strangers that you're good at answering weird questions that aren't gonna get you anywhere in life.


Lifestyle:
P.D- Us girls need to keep track.

DreamMoods- Ever dream about something really odd and you're wondering what it means, well this app provides a wide range of topics that you could have dreamed of and what they mean.

Horoscope- Yes I'm the type to believe in horoscopes and bizarre as it sounds its always true, like everytime, always!

Reference;
Pages- This is what I had to use when 'word' on my laptop decided to be a scab and not work


Music:
Itube- It was good, but you can't cache now with the new update.

MusicDownloader- Once again I'm broke.

Garageband-It's fun messing around with instruments that you don't have a clue to play.

Well that's some of what's on my phone. I highly recommend you download these apps.
Hope you have a wonderful week.

Bye for now xxx

Lush Prince Charming Shower Gel Review

Hello pretties,
I got this new shower gel from lush called Prince Charming, and I just had to talk about how amazing it is.



So we all know in lush you can choose between fruity or sweet, but I wanted something that was inbetween. I ended up buying this one and I have no regrets. (Note that is was a limited edition)

This is what is written on the bottle 
"with marshmallow root, fair trade vanilla and fresh pomegranate juice, Prince Charming will sweep you off your feet and carry you off into the sunset, leaving your skin silky soft and smelling lovely."

I absolutely love the name, it's adorable and when you apply the shower gel on your skin, you honestly feel like royality is gonna come your way and leave you with a happy ending.

It smells divine. I really wish that you readers could smell it through your screen but technology hasn't evolved by that much -.- I honestly can't describe how wonderful it's smells. It's a combo of vanilla, pomegranate and marshmallow. Just imagine how good it is!

Well that's all I can say but I highly recommend people to buy it. 

One more thing,
I love the fact that lush fight agenst animal testing.

 Lush is really Eco-friendly and I have to say they make amazing products. I didn't even want to leave the shop because everything smelled so good. I think I'll buy a ton of random lush products and place them around the house.
