These Courgette chips are a great alternative to regular chips and ever since I started making these I cant stop because they are absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
1 small courgette per person
half a cup of breadcrumbs
quarter of a cup of nutritional yeast
Olive oil
spices- garlic salt, paprika, crushed chillies, salt, pepper, garlic puree, thyme, basil
*with the spices I mix and match depending on what I feel like sometimes I will just have it with salt pepper and herbs if I want more of a fresh taste and add a piri piri rub if I want them to have more of a kick to them.
Directions
1. cut your courgettes in thin sticks or rounds
2. coat the courgette with olive oil
3. In a bowl (preferably one with a flat bottom)mix together the breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, and your spices
4. press the courgette into the breadcrumb mixture coating it as best you can
5. Place the breaded courgette on a sheet with some non stick cooking spray or oil
6.place in the over at 350.F/180.C for 20 minutes or until golden brown
You can try this recipe with breadcrumbs more nutritional yeast it just depends on what you like, make the recipe your own and try it for yourself.

November favourites
Both the scarf and the cookbook I bought using an Asos birthday gift card, my birthday was in July but i'm adding it in my November favourites because I really got to use and appreciate them last month. As I'm writing this post I can hear the wind blowing outside and the few things that are helping stay warm is my whistles scarf and coconut curry from the Deliciously Ella cookbook or snacking on banana chips While watching T.V (who else has been loving Jane the virgin). Ever since I watched Cowspiracy (which another favourite and defiantly encourage everyone to watch it) I've been trying to add more vegan meals and snacks into my diet and through that found more nutritious options like the smoothie, cookbook and banana chip. Now for the Daniel Wellington watch, I've been eyeing this watch forever now and since I'm going back home for the holidays and starting an internship (wish me luck) I thought I'd be spending less money and so can afford to go buy something nice for myself. The watch is a classic design and has me head over heels, I also find myself looking more put together and on time.
all items have a link to where you can find them :)
Hope everyone is having a good day/night and thank you

Tips on moving out (UNIVERISTY)
Now in my second year living in London theirs definitely a few things i've done that were huge mistakes and I know so many people are moving away from home and living in tiny student accommodation. As someone who never lived in student accommodation their were a few things I missed on like how much easier it is to make friends but also the annoying fights between flatmates over who didn't do the dishes; do your dishes people! Nevertheless their are a few student struggles I still had to go through maybe a few more than those that don't live in London. London is great, the transportation system is fabulous, the shopping unbelievable, gigs and concerts going on 24/7 but boy is everything Expensive! so here's a few tricks and tips that I wish I knew going into uni;
1. Always ask for student discount, its not embarrassing its efficient and you'd be surprised how many shops do student discount.
2. Take the bus and walk whenever possible, this is more for London but you save so much. Also if you live in London citymapper (the app) is a lifesaver it shows you different routes, times and also how much its going to cost.
3. Learn to cook! eating take out pizza's, indian, Chinese etc sounds good and taste good but will not make you feel good afterwards, also you may think that deal on dominos is saving you money but buying and cooking your own food is a lot less expensive, turn your dinner outs into dinner in's its a great way to round up the flatmates and spend some quality time together while saving money :) (If you want me to post some of my favourite easy recipes, comment down below x)
4. Learn to do laundry. I thought I knew how to do laundry but when your stuck doing all your clothes at once, you realise how little you actually know (or at least I did).
5. Be organised. folders are lifesavers. Uni is much tougher than school, the deadlines and word counts are brutal but being organised defiantly helped me get through the year much smoothly. (if you want to see a whole post on how I stay organised comment down below x).
6. Put yourself out there! every freshman is feeling the same nerves your feeling, we're all nervous and terrified. Starting a conversation is something I am terrible at but I broke through that invisible glass wall and started talking to people, try to be friendly and social with as many people as possible and sooner or later you'll find the people you feel comfortable with. Talk to the person next to you in a lecture ask them if they wanna grab lunch after class, knock on your flatmate door and ask if they want a cup of tea. food is an amazing social tool. If you find out someone likes the same show as you, offer to watch the next episode together. Just put yourself out there. I used to be the person who would just tag along to what my best friend was doing and never really made plans for myself but I had to get over my fear of rejection and start talking. you might get rejected but you'll be surprised by how many people will say yes.
7. Join clubs. University is stressful but having a place to go to is an amazing way to de-stress, meet people and learn a new skill.

September wish list
September... the new school year will begin and what better way to start than with new clothes :) After a year of living in London my room is finally coming together but now whats left are the walls... I think of my walls as a blank canvas and want to turn it into a piece of art, use it to express myself put what I love on display pictures, books, movies and music. You can learn a lot about a person just from what type of books they read. I've got a map, a caricature drawing of me and my friend, post cards, chalk wall, vinyls, cd's and books all up on my wall and I love it but I need more shelves (comment down below if you want to see how my wall will turn out) so number 1 on my list are floating shelves..

Haul *Febuary*
So i'm home with alone with my brothers. My dad has to go to Dubai for a couple of days for work and my sisters and mum are spending their spring break vacation in L.A and N.Y.C while I'm at home writing essays :) but since I just got some money I went shopping! This is everything I bought in the month of February. And there's a little surprise gift from my dad <3
'Jade is the new black' is a a pretty emerald green colour that looks great with all skin tones, i'm wearing it right not and absolutely love it. The Revlon colour stay eyeliner has a nice felt tip, if you find liquid liner hard to apply the felt tip makes it easier. The only thing I can say about the Tom Ford lipstick is that its the perfect pink nude colour, I definitely think its an amazing lipstick. The colour, packaging and formula are all absolutely gorgeous! If you know me then you know i'm a jumper and leggings person. I just think its simple and comfy, so when I so this one from H&M with an open back and sheer blouse inside I fell in love! It's much more stylish than a regular jumper but with the same comfort.
