Today I took a very overcast trip to Clacton On Sea with Luke and I have to say, although it weren't the extremely sunny day we were desperately hoping for, it was still warm so that was pleasant enough! There were two advantages of going to Clacton today, catching new Pokemon on Pokemon GO which we didn't have and take some beautiful shots with my new 18-200mm lens which Luke bought for me. Both went very well!

So here's a post pretty much sharing my favourite shots with you, I won't share all of them otherwise we'll be here all day! If you're ever near Clacton, I definitely recommend checking it out; there's not a lot to do but it is a great day out!

I have to say, my boyfriend is getting so much better with his photography skills. For someone who is completely body conscious, I do love this picture!

This shot was a definite favourite of Luke's! He was so pleased to see a picture of him so far away from the rock. Having him take a picture of me jumping off a rock was a completely different story!

I'm not sure why, but whenever I go to a beach or somewhere near the sea, I have to take pictures of legs/feet without the rest of the body. I feel these pictures just have a lot more to them then just legs. You know what I mean?

Although it looked like it was going to absolutely pour down all day, the day was still wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to go out in the warm weather without burning or feeling like I'm going to die! 

I definitely wasn't ready to have this picture taken, but I've come to realise the pictures I don't expect are the ones I love the most! 

If you have ever been to Clacton, let me know what you get up too when you're there!

I'll see you soon

I know what you are probably thinking, I'm posting my weekly round up on a Monday! But Yesterday was just a little break and I thought I'd share my weekly round up with you today instead, seeing as we're technically still carrying on with the weekend into Bank Holiday Monday! 

So last week was my final week at work before having a week off for half term. I say final week, I only work two days a week; but I did break up on Friday! So this half term was my first half term of being in a completely different job role. Although it weren't completely different as I still work as a learning support assistant but instead of working with a young boy with ADHD, I work with a boy in the same class but he has Autism. I have to say, changing job roles can make such a difference to your mental health and I mean a ridiculously large difference. I was so unhappy previously and I absolutely hated going into work and dreaded every single Thursday and Friday of every single week. I was miserable and I knew I had to make a change. Whereas this half term I have been so much happier and I'm no longer dreading going into work. If you know you are unhappy in the job you're currently, the best thing is to leave! You'll always find another job.

I am currently preparing going away on holiday. The fun job is going through all of the clothes I wore last summer and seeing if they still fit and I'm so pleased to say everything still fits me! Horraayy! There's me feeling absolutely miserable thinking I put on a heck load of weight when I actually haven't.

This week I am also preparing for the Blogger's Beauty Brawl. You'll see an introductory post on the 2nd June where I'll be explaining what the Beauty Brawl is, what you'll expect from it and who else is getting involved so I'm currently trying out products, rating them and deciding whether they're a product I will re-use. I hope you guys are excited to see what this year's Beauty Brawl brings.

So that's it from me, I've been pretty bored this weekend and I haven't really done anything but that's the joys of having a Bank Holiday.

I hope you have a great day!

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

As someone who has been driving a car for over two years now, I have realised how important it is to continuously keep checking my car tyres, how much water is in my car, the oil, the washer fluid and everything else you need to keep checking to ensure your car is safe to drive. Now, something I do every single day is check my car tyres if I'm about to drive because their is someone down my road who does seem to like letting the air out of my family's tyres. Annoying, I know!

I have also recently had a rather irritating noise coming from my engine which definitely sounds like something is about to go boom (my brother thinks its my clutch). So I did go through the whole process of checking absolutely everything on my car, including going out to buy some car oil just to ensure I have enough so my engine doesn't die on me. But as a driver this is something you have to do regularly. 

On the other hand, one of the other most important aspects of car safety and checking everything is working perfectly fine is ensuring there is always water in your car so it does not over heat, kill the engine or even set on fire (I actually saw this the other day when I was driving home). It may sound slightly extreme but this is a common occurrence in cars breaking down, purely because the car runs out of water and overheats, causing you to sit at the side of a road until someone comes to save you or until you can find water. I remember a couple of years ago we were outside a Kebab shop, had a 2 litre bottle and asked the men in the shop to fill the bottle up with water a fair few times until the car was drive-able again. But sometimes you have to do these things!

Although cars have their common problems under the engine, something we also forget about is the tread on our tyres. Whether or not our tyres are road legal and to be honest, this is something that I always forget to do as it's not something that crosses your mind when you're driving your car. I only know I need to replace one of my tyres because it came through as one of my advisories on my MOT, but if you leave it that long it could be potentially too late and your car then fails as it puts you in danger. If you have a car I highly recommend checking your tyres on a monthly basis, maybe even less than that just to ensure that you're tyres are safe! With the heat of the roads coming up, I can't imagine what the heat is actually doing to our tyres, especially when we're breaking normally or even an emergency stop. 

If you are ever in desperate need of new tyres, there's such an easy way to get some new ones by booking online at Ossett Tyre House Website! It couldn't be any easier. All you have to do is simply enter in your car registration and they'll know exactly what tyres fit your car and that's all you need to do. On the other hand, if you're ever nearby you can go in and ask them to check the tread on your tyres if you're unsure; they're more than happy to help.

If you're driving this Summer, please remember to constantly check your water levels! Don't forget to also check the condition of your tyres and whether they're safe to drive on. I'd personally rather spending 5 minutes checking my car over before I'm about to drive it then the outcome of having wrecked tyres. Checking doesn't cost you a penny!

This post is a paid for collaboration however all thoughts and opinions on this topic are my own and have not been influenced by anyone.

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

A while back now I was approached by a member of Ideal World and they kindly asked me if I'd like to try out the Elizabeth Grant Hydra Cell skin care range and of course I said yes. As someone who suffers with dry skin, I'm always on the look out for new skin care products which might give my skin that little bit of extra boost on a daily basis and make my skin feel alive. I've been using this for way over a month now and I have definitely seen a difference in my skin, even after one day of using the face mask! If you have a reasonable budget for skincare, I highly recommend trying out Elizabeth Grant!

 I was sent two of their serums; you use on for the day time and one for the night time, it's as easy as that! The Serums retail at £24.99 for the day and £29.99, but for a high end serum; I'm not complaining at that price! They claim these two products together tighten your skin and boost radiance. Now I have to agree my skin looks so much more glowing after using this for way over a month. I've also noticed my skin isn't as dry in my T-Zone either! This serum may look like it's water, but it is a wonderful, light and non-oily consistency which doesn't make your skin feel all gross afterwards. 

Although I'm unable to share the link of this product with you, I have to mention the Hydra Cell deep moisture mask as I am completely and utterly in love with it. This is very much a gel consistency mask, it's thick, it's cold and it makes you skin feel absolutely incredible. The hydra cell mask definitely leaves your skin feeling fresh, clean and like it's ready for a whole week of business! You really do not need to use a lot either with this mask, a little goes a long way! I suffer with sensitive and dry skin and I haven't had a reaction to this mask, so something must be wonderful about it!

Since using this skin care brand I have seen a noticeable difference in the way my skin looks even after a few days. Not only do I have less flaky bits of skin around my forehead, but I've also had less spots too. I 100% believe having a good skincare routine will always make the world of good!

Have you ever heard or tried this brand before? 

This post features product(s) which were sent to me for review purposes however all opinions are my own.

I'll see you soon

Something I wanted to explain here on my blog is why I stopped daily blogging. Now some people may not have realised that I stopped posting every single day, as sometimes I do post daily; it all depends on what's going on in my life, whether I've had the time and how I'm feeling. So recently I had to battle through at least three months of bloggers block and the constant feeling of feeling crappy about my blog and the feeling of not knowing where to go, what to write or how to get started. Therefore, I took the weekend off after having a discussion with my best friend and I though enough was enough. I needed a break, I needed to enjoy my weekend and to then come back to blogging with a fresh mind. 

Now, this was all well and good until I was ridiculously tired one day after having a very very busy day and I didn't have time to post, the next day I then had work so I still couldn't write anything up. By the time I had the chance to write something up for that day it was 9pm and I thought it was far too late, so I didn't post on that day. I felt extremely disheartened and guilty for not posting but I realised that actually it's life. Sometimes life does get in the way, we don't always have time and things do come up and stop us from doing what we want to do and this is completely okay. It happens to everyone so after that stage I was okay with not posting and I didn't push myself to post every single day even though I was shattered and typing before I went to sleep.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love daily blogging and blogging in general and apart from not having enough time; it's incredible. However, if I don't post on one day or even if a post goes up a little bit later than usual, I will be completely okay with this. Although I didn't succeed blogging every single day, I've still done more than what I ever thought I would and I've met so many more goals which I created back in the New Years, so to me I have achieved and I have succeeded. 

I'm not going to have set days on when I'm posting however I will of course let you know on my social media (most likely my twitter) if a post will be going up the next day or whether I won't be posting. But for now, I have time, I'm motivated and as long as the time sticks to going slowly I'll be posting every single day unless something comes up and gets in the way!

I hope you continue to have a brilliant day and thank you for being so patient with me!

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

It seems like forever since I last shared anything baking or food related with you, and I have to say it has been since before Christmas and I apologise for that. I've actually missed baking a lot and yesterday I was craving some sort of cake and decided to make a Coffee and Chocolate traybake which I am absolutely in love with. Not only is it a very soft and airy coffee cake but it's covered in Betty Crockers chocolate fudge icing (I was too lazy to make any icing and this was going out of date in the cupboard). However, I would usually make my own icing to smother on top. This traybake has definitely been a real winner in my house, but you don't have to make it as a traybake; you can always put it into circular trays and create a stacked cake instead.

225g Light brown sugar

4 eggs

150ml Strong coffee cooled (150ml of boiling water, two tbsp coffee)

250g self-raising flour

One Tub of Betty Crockers Fudge Icing

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray. 

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy then add the eggs one at a time! 

Add one cup of flour (so the mixture doesn't split), mix until smooth, 

then add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between.

Add the rest of the flour, one cup at a time until the mixture is completely combined and smooth.

Pour the mixture into the ready lined baking tray and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes. 

You'll know when it's done as a skewer will come out clean! 

Leave to cool and spread over the icing, lastly cutting up into squares ready for serving.

Let me know if you make this and let me know what your favourite cake is!

I'll see you soon

As it is now only fourteen days until my birthday, I thought why not create a Birthday Wishlist post to share with you all. I've definitely found this year to be much more of a struggle when it comes to presents or ideas of what I would like to do for my birthday. As I go full out at Christmas with my boyfriend, when it comes to the month of June, I'm really stuck for ideas! However, as my blog has become a big part of my life, but not only my blog; photography too, I've decided something I would like is different lens' for my camera so I can experiment and enjoy my passion for taking photos! Just to quickly say; I'm not going to include photos of these products, purely because of Copyright issues as well all know! However, I will be including links.

So lets get too it;

1. Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.8g Lens.

The main product I am dieing to get my hands on is the 50mm Lens for my Nikon D3200 camera. I've been watching people speak about these for a year now, that I have decided I want to give it a go and see what all of the fuss is about!

Would you recommend any of these? Let me know!

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

Something I personally struggle with is constantly feeling tired. There's never a day when I don't feel tired! I wake up feeling constantly exhausted whether I've had a good night sleep or a rubbish night sleep. I've never really thought about taking energy tablets or any sort of medication that might make me feel less tired and more awake by releasing energy throughout the day; I tend to just reach for coffee (a lot of it) and a heck load of energy drinks. Monster Ripper is my absolutely favourite!

On the note of feeling absolutely rubbish for a couple of weeks now and feeling extremely uninspired, I figured a great way of feeling motivated and inspired again is to think about the things that do make me happy and the positive aspects of my general life and the blogging community too. So why not create a post all about it? So I'm going to be sharing 5 things which make me happy. These things are in my private life but also in my "blogging" life too. 

So lets get too it;

1. The support I'm given.

For so long in my life I haven't been given much support by "friends", whether we're talking about School or College, but being a blogger now; the support is incredible. We all know there will be bitches somewhere and thank god I haven't come across anyone who has been bitchy towards me. But I'm completely grateful for every single person who supports me, my blog and everything else which I bring to my social media.

2. Pizza. Oh a lot of pizza.

I always some how manage to forget how much I love pizza and I have to include pizza in this post. Whenever I'm feeling rubbish, pizza is always my go to, favourite comfort food and it always makes me feel so much better eating something that I absolutely love even when my eczema and skin hates it!

3. Books.

I also always forget that reading makes me feel so relaxed. If I'm feeling stressed, uptight or upset, reading will relax me, every single time. It takes me to somewhere else and every book I read, the place is always different. Soppy books, adventure books, any type of book is a place for me to escape.

4. Pokemon GO.

So in the past couple of days I've been playing Pokemon GO again. I say the last couple of days; it's not been a week. When I was at work last week my boyfriend had an urgent call explaining that he found something that was missing from our lives; and he meant Pokemon GO. We stopped playing it last August because of the update which completely ruined the game but, we're back at it again and absolutely loving it! The amount I am walking right now is insane; 18,000 steps on Tuesday; it's madness! But it makes me happy and that's all that matters.

5. Knowing I make other people happy.

Something I absolutely love to do is make people happy, or even making people smile or laugh. I feel it's something I'm definitely good at purely because I'm a completely weirdo when you get to know me. Recently I was asked why I love blogging and I explained because I'm able to make a difference to at least one person's life and I can make them happy and they asked me how do I know that I make them happy. My answer to this is; if I write a post and it's made someone feel something, they tell me. Whether they leave a comment or they message me privately or across Social Media; they let me know how my posts have effected them and that makes me feel incredible knowing I can make a difference.

What makes you happy?

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

So recently I was sent some absolutely gorgeous lipsticks by Joan Collins Timeless Beauty. I have to say these lipsticks are absolutely perfect for the Spring and Summer because of how bright and colourful they are. I personally had never tried out any of Joan Collins' products until I tried out their mascara (which I also have to say is incredible, I use it on a daily basis). So I was very excited to try these out knowing how amazing another product of theirs is.

Something I need to speak about is feeling uninspired. It started off with bloggers block when I just really weren't in the mood to blog. I didn't want to write and blogging felt like a chore, even though I wanted to do it? I hope that makes sense. I was just going through a mood where I didn't want to do anything but I didn't want to stop either. Well I got through bloggers block, I had my break and I came back feeling more motivated than ever before. I started with creating a studygram as that is something I have always wanted to do, but at the time I always wanted to do one on tumblr, but instead I've created it on Instagram; you can follow me here. I then went to a bloggers event which was absolutely incredible, I really enjoyed it and I'm now going to another two (bloggers ball and bloggers suite). My motivation carried on into another instagram account where I wanted to share my nail designs with you and my passion for painting my nails. It's something I never go without and I wanted to embrace it but I didn't know how too. You can follow that account here.

It's that time again for another weekly round up, hooray! I hope you're all having a lovely Sunday, let me know what you're getting up to on this beautiful sunny day. If you didn't know, this week I went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour as my Valentines Day present. I know, three months late; but we wanted to go when Luke was on his week off so we had no choice but to wait, but it was definitely worth waiting for. I have one post live about the Harry Potter Studio Tour however in the next week I'll be posting a couple more posts with a lot more pictures for you guys to see.

I'm so excited to be sharing you guys something which is a little bit different and something you wouldn't expect to see; of course, a car charger! I was recently approached to review a couple of items from the company Askborg and I decided to choose a car charger. However, it isn't just a car charger. It's a car charger that has a built in cable for iphones, ipads, etc but it also has a USB port, for anything else that might possibly need charging whilst your in the car! The reason why I chose to review the car charger is because it's something which we all need in our life, if we're a driver. And being a driver myself, I use my car charger on a daily basis and I feel if you have a charger that does everything you need it to do, then you can't possibly go wrong.

 So this beauty is the Askborg Chargedrive 2 Lightning car charger which is retailed at £12.99 on Amazon. However, I do have a coupon code for you for 15% off which is "ASKB15PO". 

This car charger as you can see is easy to roll up and tidy away into your glove box or even into your bag if you want to take it everywhere with you. The cable isn't too long but I'd say it's the perfect length for my car as there isn't too much excess wire but I'm still able to charge my phone whilst it is in a phone holder on my window.

The wire isn't one of those grotty wires you can purchase off Ebay for a couple of pounds. It's genuine and works with all Apple products so you don't have to worry about a notification popping up on your screen saying it's not compatible with your phone!

Having this type of phone car charger makes it so much easier to store and tidy away the wires as one of them is already connected; you also don't have to worry about losing it either! It's a product which every driver needs.

If you're looking to buy one of these, don't forget to use the coupon code "ASKB15PO" here for 15% off.

This post is a day late and I am incredibly sorry for that! With the excitement and time length of going to the Harry Potter Studio Tour and having other bits and pieces to do when I got home, I didn't have enough time to put a post live yesterday after I was back from the tour. Considering the time of this post going live, I was also very reluctant to press publish until tomorrow, but I decided regardless of the time, I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you in this post and also let you know my thoughts of the tour!

Something I always struggle with is gifts for certain people, usually the people who are in my family. But something I absolutely love is a personalised gift! I've always wanted to get my boyfriend a personalised watch or even a bracelet, but I know he'd never wear them so instead we having matching "her beast, his beauty" rings which I know he does wear! I feel personalised gifts give the added touch of love when you're giving someone a present which is truly meaningful. As a soppy person, I absolutely love to receive anything personalised whether it's to do with my blog or different aspects of my life; charm bracelets are a real winner for me.

I was recently approached by someone from Mr Nutcase (what an incredible brand name, I have to say), and they asked me if I'd like to review one of their personalised mugs. I could choose either a standard shaped mug or a latte mug. I decided to go for a latte mug purely because I think they're so much aesthetically pleasing than a standard square shaped mug.

It took me a while to decide what I wanted to have printed onto my mug. I couldn't decide between a cute picture of my dogs, a picture of myself and my boyfriend on holiday, or even my blog logo. But then something I absolutely love and have a huge collection of is mugs with quotes on. If you follow me on Instagram I'm sure you've seen a lot of them. So I decided to have a quote printed onto my mug which would not only be motivational but would also include the theme colour of my blog; of course rose gold/copper and I absolutely love how it turned out. I even included my blog font which I use in my headers. I recently saw the quote "Believe...Achieve...Succeed..." on someone's wrist as a tattoo and I completely fell in love with it. It's a quote that I truly stand by and believe works if you do believe, you achieve which helps you to eventually succeed in whatever you're doing.

The mug is absolutely wonderful. You can see how well the ink was printed onto the mug, because it isn't just a sticker; it's some how printed; don't ask me how! But I don't have to worry about my quote coming off the mug. I have found if you leave coffee in your mug then it does leave a lot of marks inside, but with a thorough scrub; you then have a squeaky clean mug again. I absolutely love how it turned out and I have to thank the ladies and gents from Mr Nutcase for creating such a beautiful mug for me.

If you were to design your own mug, what would you have on it?

This post features product(s) which were sent to me for review purposes however all opinions are my own.

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

If you didn't know, this week is Mental Health Awareness Week, a week which has been created to spread awareness of everyone who suffers with Mental Health, how it can be recognised and instead of ignoring it you should be listening too it. Of course every single person has their own story, we all know this from watching 13 Reasons Why, or generally; it's common sense. Every one goes through completely different situations and we all react in a completely different way to the next person and this is where the stigma starts. Weakness. Because one person might be struggling with one challenge which the other person might have found easy; they're seen as weak. But the person doesn't actually come to think "is this person okay? Is there something wrong? What's happening in their life?"

I haven't done a weekly round up in a few weeks now so it's time to come back and share with you what I have been up too; and let's be completely honest, I haven't done a lot! However, if you didn't know, I have started up a new instagram called Kimberleyjesscanails! After having a discussion with the lovely Charlie at the #BWBLaunch pizza express lunch date with the girls, I decided it was time to share my passion with everyone. I have always loved painting my nails, even in school I would be the one who completely ignored the teachers when they told you to take your nail varnish off at the school office; it was a part of me and without it I didn't feel like myself. It sounds absolutely mad but some girls love makeup, I love nail varnish! My boyfriend also says I look really strange without nail varnish on; like I have alien fingers.

This week I have really thought about my blog, where I want it to go and how much effort I'm putting into it and it's really put everything into prospective. I decided it's time to stop moping around feeling unmotivated about absolutely everything and that's why I've been posting more regularly on my instagram accounts and why I have also been doing threads over on my twitter account for everyone to share their links and enjoy the love from the blogging community. If participating in these threads is something which you're interested then feel free to follow my twitter account here; to keep up to date with when I'm posting them!

Something I'm really struggling with at the moment is my dissertation, although I'm extremely motivated right now to do uni work (although I have absolutely nothing to do), I have no idea where to start with my dissertation. How do you know where to start? How do you know what you want to do your dissertation on? I'm completely stuck on where to even begin and I know I haven't got long. 

If you've been through your final year of University, I'd absolutely love to know how you knew what to do your dissertation on or what you did when you were completely stuck for ideas.

I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

Although we're not quite through half of the year, I decided it was time to do an update on my goals which I shared with you back in January; you can find them here. I set myself quite a few goals for my general life, but also for my blogging life and it's crazy to say I have already achieved a fair few of them already and that's why I'm doing this post; because it's amazing to share our achievements.

One of my first goals was to blog everyday, now unfortunately I haven't blogged everyday; I did take a three day break in April due to bloggers block really hitting it's peak and I had to have that break, but I do feel that is completely acceptable as I'm now more motivated than I have ever been before. But other than that, I have indeed blogged every single day since September 2016.

I also wanted to hit 1,500 followers on my instagram account. The mad thing is; I have acheived this goal and I never ever thought I would. At this stage I have also created two more instagram accounts and one of them is currently on 200 followers and the other has just hit 100 after only having it for one day; I cannot explain how proud I am. 100 followers isn't a lot, but it's an achievement in a day.

As of yet, I haven't achieved my other goals; I want to hit 10k followers on instagram (I've recently hit 6.5k) and my Bloglovin goal was 750, but I'm currently just under 600. Something I'm really struggling to grow is my instagram account so I may have to start a facebook follow feed on a weekly or even daily basis to help myself and other people grow their facebook pages; if you'd be interested in this then please do let me know.

My goal for all time blog views was 150,000 by the end of the year and in April I hit 100,000. This was the most surreal moment ever, I was gobsmacked and a little bit chuffed. Let's just say I was very excited about this as I never thought I'd even get past 10,000.

Now I know, numbers don't matter in the long run; but when you're building a community for yourself, they do matter. The amount of support I get is absolutely incredible. If I'm stuck with anything, I know one of you will help me out and even if I'm feeling down and stressed, there will always be one of my "followers" who asks if I'm okay and offers to talk to me about whatever is wrong. So if you're reading this and moaning about how numbers don't matter, they do; when you have the love and support from every single person who follows you; it is completely and utterly worth it when you always thought you were alone.

Have a lovely weekend and let me know what you're getting up too!

I'll see you soon

Kimberley Jessica

I was very lucky to have been chosen to try out the Nutribuddy breakfast kit and let you guys know what I think of it. I think this breakfast kit is such a brilliant idea as not only does it provide you with very yummy tasting shakes which are easy to make and you can take them on the go. But they also provide you with a large packet of porridge for the days when you have a little bit more time to spend on your breakfast. Not only is this breakfast kit suitable for vegetarians and vegans, but it is gluten, lactose, sugar and soy free and it's low in calories; so it's perfect if you're trying to lose weight too!

I personally absolutely love the packaging design for this brand. It stands out as it's a beautiful shade of bright orange, but it is also very simple. The porridge provides you with packaging which you can re-seal so you do not need to worry about your oats going off extremely quickly. (I'm absolutely rubbish when it comes to folding over the top of cereals).

I am always eyeing up these types of bottles, I think they're simple yet beautiful and I just love the idea of everyone being able to see what you're drinking. This is perfect for when you're on the go as it has a strap to hold over your wrist, and a twist off lid so you are able to take it anywhere with you without it spilling! This is also anti-leak so you do not have to worry about getting the breakfast shake down your work clothes whilst you're commuting.

I absolutely love the Nutribuddy breakfast kit; it's easy to use and whip up every single morning whether you're in a rush and running late or if you have a little bit more time before you have to leave your house. I especially enjoyed the taste of the breakfast shake, I chose chocolate brownie as I'm more of a chocolate kind of girl than vanilla; and honestly, if you put ice cream in this, it would be a chocolate milkshake; it's so tasty!

If you're looking for a healthy change when it comes to your breakfast, definitely check out Nutribuddy for healthy porridge's or breakfast shakes which will keep you feeling full all morning!

I'll see you soon
