Girl Online On Tour

Firstly, I would like to say a huge congratulations to Zoe for releasing her second book!  

As you can tell I have only just gotten the book and the sooner this blog post is up I will eagerly start reading it too. Once I have finished reading this book I will for sure write a review, telling you guys my opinion on the book (although I know its going to be good already) However in the mean time I will post a review on Zoe's first book "Girl Online" which will probably be posted after this post.

See you soon

xoxo

Revision

Sorry to scare you on the startling title but "the sooner the better" 

If you want to achieve the best grades possible we need to start now.  You need to start now.

This blog post is here to somewhat inspire you in a way that will remove your initial thought about "revising", "learning" and "school" 

First things first you need to get up and write up the general core knowledge you know on a sheet of paper. It could either be in a format of a mind map or a list (whatever suits you) After you have written your core knowledge about the subject you're revising for, you can create flash cards or buy some (again, whatever your heart desires) In this case I went out to WHsmith and bought some flash cards which were on a good price deal. 

With the flash cards you will break down all the general core knowledge you know into little sections  or categories so that everything is well organised. When I first started to write on my flash cards I sort of found it difficult on how to layout my knowledge and information. However you will not need to worry because I have found a way! Firstly on the top, you should write the title of  the subject (as mentioned above) and draw a line in the middle to section your flashcard with the keywords and the recall questions you will create. At the back of the flash card, you can write out the answers to the recall questions and draw out a diagram (if needed) so that you are able to visualise what you are talking about.  Lastly, make your flash cards colourful but not too colourful as it can confuse your eyes. Using different colour highlighters, highlight the most important things.

Your all set now! Don't worry, once you've started you wont regret it. Trust me. 

Look at the the pictures I took below to help you in case you didn't quite understood what I meant. 

Thank you for reading till the end.

I wish you all good luck for any sort of exam you're about to take, just remember if you put your mind to it, you are able to achieve it. Marginal gains are what its all about, meaning that what ever you do ie: get a detention or miss a day off school, it will affect your marginal gain negatively but making flash cards will positively affect your marginal gain.

See you soon in the next post

Catching Up

It has been a year since I left you guys, but not to worry I am well. 

Yes. I did leave for a VERY long time (stressing the word very) but I would like to clarify that I will only be blogging whenever I like and today is one of those days *insert cheesy smiley face emoji*

Why did I start blogging today?

The reason is because I just felt like it and because I'm feeling quite inspired. It's like I've woken up on the right side of the bed, feeling ready to take on the world. That might have been a really bad analogy but you get what I mean (hopefully)

Through out this past year I can only say that a lot has happened and I may blog about those events in my next blog post so stay tuned I guess. However, I can say that you should prepare you self for some interesting travel posts. Hint, hint 

That is all I'd wanted to update you guys on 

see you soon

Hello!

So I've finaly decided to sit down and write something on my blog as I haven't done so ever since valentines day, which I hope you had a great day on :)

School has just been getting me very busy, however assessment week has just passed by and I've gladly survived the tests hoping that I did well. Good news is that we have only have 3 more days till it is the end of term, meaning that we have a week off school.

 On the other hand there are some negatives because after the week off school we are moving towards the end of year assessments, which are quite stressful. However we shouldn't worry because after all the end of year exams are done we are able to relax for a longer amount of time (6 weeks holiday) where we can enjoy life. 

Top Tip:

 Work hard and you will get your reward which can either be good grades, a calm holiday with nothing to worry about or both. 

Happy Valentines Day

Half term has started for me and guess what today is? Valentines day! I would like to wish everyone a happy Valentines, whether your with a special someone or #teamsingle. 

For me all I need is my bed, phone and food.   

Have a great day!

Ready. Steady. Bake!

Firstly, I am very sorry for the lack of blog posts because I've been quite busy 

ever since school had started and due to the amount of homework my school gives me.

Recently I have been very interested in cooking and baking things from scratch, so one day I decided to go on the internet to find an easy recipe, which I can easily make. As I scrolled down I suddenly found a picture of a cake, which caught my eye.

                                                           Ingredients:                                                      

• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•     2 cups sugar    
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
•  1 teaspoon vanilla

        Method:

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the paper and the sides of the pan well. 

In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs together until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add flour, milk, oil, baking powder, and vanilla and beat for another minute, just until the batter is smooth and creamy. Don't over beat. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan(s).

Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick poked into the center of the layer comes out clean. (A single rectangular pan will take longer to bake than two round ones.) Loosen the sides of the cake from the pan with a thin knife, then turn out onto a rack and peel off the paper. Let cool completely before covering with frosting, if desired.

Here's how mine turned out:

Not bad for a first try, right?

Hope you try this recipe out as it is very delicious as well as appealing.

  see you on my next post
