#SeptemberStudies- Breakfast ideas!

By -



I am sure you will have heard this one thousand times before but breakfast is genuinely one of the most important meals of the day, with research suggesting that your breakfast should be around 400 to 500 calories. The food you eat first thing in the morning is so important as this is what fuels you throughout your entire day.

More studies have shown those students who eat breakfast perform better in the classroom and in exams than those who don't. So stop making excuses as to why you can't have breakfast before school and have a read of some of these ideas that will help you to start your day right- they're all quick, easy and all very tasty!

Scrambled egg. 
Use two medium sized eggs for your scrambled egg and have it on either one or two buttered pieces of toast. You can change this breakfast dish up pretty easily by adding different things to your eggs, such as herbs, pancetta and different spices. Quick, easy and filling!



Boiled eggs
Boiled eggs take a few minutes longer depending on what kind of consistency you like your yolk to be, but this is another breakfast that can be prepared in minutes. Don't forget your soldiers to dip into the egg! (I like mine with marmite!)



Cereal
Nothing is more quick or more easy than a bowl of cereal. There is so much variety too, from coco pops and cornflakes to frosties and bran flakes, rice crispies to cookie crisp and everything in between! You can also have cereal with any kind of milk, so this option can be adapted to a vegan diet too.



Fruit
Why not have a bowl of fruit for breakfast? Or as opposed to one kind of fruit, you could even make yourself a fruit salad for breakfast, getting those five a day in first thing!



Toast
Some might call it boring but some breakfast is better than no breakfast; your toast can even come with your eggs, your cereal or your fruit! There's also several toppings to put on toast- jam (in several varieties), marmalade, marmite, honey, chocolate spread, plain butter...lots to choose from!



Bagels
Bagels are just amazing. Come on, who doesn't like bagels? They take a matter of minutes to toast and, like toast itself, there is several things you can have on bagels. Be creative and find what you like best!



Croissant
Croissant's are flaky pieces of heaven that go well with a hot chocolate and plenty of butter! They aren't the healthiest breakfast option but they are one of the tastiest! They can also be enjoyed hot or cold so are great for an 'on the go' breakfast too.



Breakfast Muffins
Even better than breakfast muffins is cheesy breakfast muffins! But these are also great with marmite. Classically British! (this image however, is a great McMuffin you can get from good old Maccy D's- another great way to enjoy breakfast on the go but definitely not very healthy!)




Waffles
Waffles drizzled in thick, golden syrup or sprinkled all over with brown sugar are just utterly divine and will definitely make for a sweet start to your day!



What do you have for breakfast in the morning? Let me know in the comments below!

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
