How to Survive Being Sick During the Summer

Hey guys! I was sick a few weeks ago, and it's a struggle being sick during the summer, because you can't do everything that you want to do, and sometimes your sickness can be painful, which can make it even worse. Today I'm going to help you to survive being sick during the summer.

#1: Know that you will eventually get better. Sometimes you think that you will never get better, but trust me, you will.

#2: Relax! Take this time as an opportunity to unwind from everyday life and be calm.

#3: Do the things you like that you CAN do. For example, you can finish the good book that you haven't picked up in a while, or re-watch your favorite movie.

#4: Eat well. Your diet when you are sick can affect your mood and how you're feeling, so make sure to eat and drink what's good for you.

#5: Finish work. Haven't finished your assigned book yet? Haven't finished your math book? Well, now you can since your spending time at home.

#6: Rest, rest, rest! Your main goal is to get better, so make an effort to focus on that, so you can get back to being yourself. :)

Freshen Up Your Closet for Spring!

Hello Everyone, 

Today I thought I would share some tips with you about how to clean and update your wardrobe for spring. These tips really helped me, and let me know if they helped you. Enjoy!

• Go through your wardrobe to see if you want to get rid of any clothes that are too small or you don't like anymore. If you find any, give them away! 
• If you have a closet or a dresser, categorize your clothes by type, color, or however you want. This will make it really easy for you to find the outfit you want to wear. Be creative!
• If you have a small closet, I would suggest hangers that can hold multiple clothes at once, so you don't have to worry about cramming your closet.
• Own only clothes that you LOVE! Make sure that you are going to wear the majority of the clothes that you have.

That's it for now! I hope you found this post helpful. If so, comment which of these quick tips helped you. Make sure to subscribe for more posts like this. See you soon! :)

Nutella Valentine's Day Treats!

Hi guys! Happy Valentine's Day! Today I will be sharing with you some of my favorite Valentine's Day treats that include Nutella! They are a Nutella Frappuccino and a Nutella Mug Cake. These treats are amazingly delicious!

Let's start with the frappuccino. Here are the ingredients:

• 3/4 cup of milk
• 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons Nutella
• 1 chocolate ice cream bar (I used a Magnum Double Caramel ice cream bar)
• 3 ice cubes (optional)

Steps:

1. Add all the ingredients to a blender in order.
2. Blend away!

If you want more or less of an ingredient, don't be afraid to change the amount. This is one of my favorite frappuccino recipes, and it is out of this world! Enjoy!

Lastly, we have the Nutella mug cake. Here are the ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons caster (superfine) sugar
• 4 tablespoons Nutella
• 5 tablespoons plain (all-purpose) flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

1. Mix all of the ingredients one by one in order together in a mug.
2. Cook in the microwave for 50 seconds (800 watts).
3. Leave to rest for 1-2 minutes, it will be hot.

This recipe is very simple and you will be pleased with the results. It's scrumptious!

I hope you enjoy these Nutella recipes any time of the year. Let me know what you think. Bon appetit!

DIY Banilla (Banana and Vanilla) Frappuccino

Hey guys! As promised, I'm going to be doing DIYs on this blog, and this is the first one. This drink is coffee and caffeine free. Even though it's still winter, this drink is absolutely delicious and is a perfect treat all year round! 

Here are the ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of milk
• 1/2 cup of ice
• 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream (optional)
• 1 1/2 frozen bananas
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons of sugar (a bit more if you don't add ice cream)
• Optional: If you want to jazz it up, add a small handful of white chocolate chips

Steps:

1. Add all the ingredients to a blender.
2. Blend away!
3. Top with whipped cream

To serve warm (which is outrageously good) pour in a heat-proof glass or mug and heat in the microwave. Top with whipped cream. Let me know in the comments what you think. Enjoy!
