Healthy Salad Wraps

Friday, October 23, 2015


I'm going to be doing something a little bit different today but I hope you like it.

Recently, I've been trying to get a little bit more healthier as I've joined the gym and am going on runs more often I decided that I should eat healthier to work along side the exercise so I've decided to share with you what a regularly take to school to eat at lunch.

You will need:

-Tortilla wraps
-Hummus
-Baby leaf lettuce
-Diced pepper
-Quartered cucumber
-Nando's Peri Peri sauce		 I spread a layer of hummus across the whole of the wrap then down the middle I put the lettuce (I prefer baby leaf salad which comes from a bag).
Then over the top I sprinkle diced pepper and cucumber. I prefer red or orange pepper, I don't know exactly why but I just find that it tastes nicer than green pepper.
On top of everything I then pout Nando's sauce. Today I used the medium peri peri sauce which is quite spicy of you put too much on, like I do all of the time, but I also like the lemon and herb sauce which personally is my favourite.
But you can use any salad dressing or sauce you'd like, go with what you prefer!
Thanks for reading! Send me a tweet @evie_b_f if you made one!

Westward Ho! August 2015

Tuesday, September 08, 2015


A few weeks ago I went on holiday with my family to Westward Ho! in Devon (fun fact: it's the only place in England with an ! in it's name). Even though the weather was shocking and we had to come home a day early I had a good time. I made a short video of my time and you can watch it here.

The first day was a travelling day so I didn't do a lot then as I ended up going to sleep twice in the five hour journey down. Obviously we had to stop for Starbuck's to recharge ourselves and get ready for another few hours sitting in the same position. The sun was absolutely beautiful and when we went to Asda for food the first thing I bought was a 5 Seconds of Summer poster which isn't really a souvenir, I just liked it.

The second day was also so sunny that I actually got a tan, even though it is a very light one! We went to the beach for a small amount of time. The beach was half rocky at the top but as you get closer to the sea when the tide is out it's very sandy. I actually went in the sea in a bikini which I haven't done in at least two years! The males in our group went on the go karts for a bit before we walked around a bit and then went back to the campsite. After a shower we went on a walk through hilly terrains to the pebbly beach near to the site. I suspect this was when I got most of my tan as the wind make you not feel the warm rays of the sun. When we got back to the campsite we ate dinner and then we got a fire basket from reception and roasted marshmallows on it with chocolate digestives to create smores.

The third day was when the weather took a turn for the worse. Due to the rain we went to Beude and in to Beude Castle. We looked in the art gallery which held Sue Read's work, I bought a card of one of her paintings. The rest of the castle had historical exhibits about sailors and other things, we then went to the cafe which was really nice! Afterwards we went to the Gnome Reserve which I went to three or four years ago, we only ever seem to go in the rain! We all had to wear gnome hats and I bought my second pot gnome. We had lunch at a restaurant to get out of the rain before going back to the campsite and playing pontoon late at night in out tent.

The next day the weather seemed to pick up again and we went to Clovelly, it was my second time going but it's still really pretty. The streets are all cobbles and it's just a hill so it's really easy to slip, especially in the rain! We went down to the harbour and then walked across the pebbly beach to the small waterfall. My mum ended up convincing me to go in the waterfall and to the other side of it to take some 'arty' pictures of the water droplets falling and colliding with the rocks. Some are a bit blurry but I still like them, We then had to walk all of the way up the hill and back to car park and because of the hot weather and exercise we were all boiling and sweating which is not nice.

(I lost a load of writing from here on so I'm just summarising what I said in to shorter sentences.)

We didn't do a lot the next day except go to a chip shop, eat chips on the beach and walk for a bit. They day after was actually went home and it was actually so sunny!

I hope you enjoyed this post, there was more writing but I lost it!!

What's In My School Bag 2015

Tuesday, August 25, 2015



As it is the final week of the summer holiday's (cue cries) I have decided to share with you what's in my bag which contains a lot of essentials for school seeing as I am in my final year of doing GCSE's! This year is going to be very important for my future and unfortunately dictates what I do for a living.

My bag is The Fjällräven Kånken in the colour warm yellow, I've wanted this bag for ages and I found it for £52 on the website A.S.Adventure and I got that. Due to there being many fakes of these going cheap I've had to check all sorts such as the stitching, tags, logos and more and I can confirm that it is a real one.

In the main pocket I have an A4 folding Cath Kidston folder which I use to keep all of my homework which shouldn't be folded in there and other bits of paper which I need. I've already had this a year so it's not available any more but I do recommend getting any type of folder. In the pocket right at the back I keep the foam insert which it came with in it and a 30cm ruler as I hate having to draw a margin in two sections.

Also in the main pocket I have two pencil cases, one for the normal pens and stationary and another for my sketching pencils and fine liners as I am an art student. I also have the One Direction Our Moment sketch book which came with a perfume for little doodles. In my school it's a requirement to have your own scientific calculator for maths tests and exams. I also like to keep a little coin purse with 5p, 10p, and 20p's in it so on a day I could treat myself because my school makes the nicest cakes!

In the front pocket of my bag I have two Bath & Body Works hand sanitizers which my friends have brought back from America, one in Pretty In Pink and another in Swingin' Vanilla. I also have two lipbalms one it Maybelline Baby Lips Intense Care and another in Vaseline Pink Bubbly. I also have a little hand cream which is the Aveeno moisturising cream, I'm thinking of swapping this for The Body Shop's hand cream in pink grapefruit. I also have tablets for my shin splints as I do dance in and out of school and they are a pain! I also keep my phone, ear phones and my house key in there while I'm in school. If I wear a lipstick to school I also put that in there so I can top up as the day goes on.

In the side pockets I like to keep some colourful sharpies but I'm thinking of moving them to my art pencils case so they don't fall out and on the other side I keep my water bottle.

I hope you liked this post I might do some more school related posts at some point.
