Early mornings are never my kinda thing. Multiple alarm snoozes later and I always find myself rushing around to get ready for the day, and always forgetting to have any kind of breakfast. Cereals and toast with butter/jam/peanut butter always get a little boring, so I wanted to find something that I could eat on the go and something that was still good for you. So on a recent food shop, I browsed the aisles looking for some inspiration among the cereal bars and snack sections, and came across something I liked the look of. Enter Belvita. 
Belvita appeared to have various varieties of there breakfast biscuits, so naturally as a chocolate lover, I was drawn to the Cocoa Choc Chip biscuits, and they have definitely not disappointed! Packed with 5 wholegrains and 4 hour slow release carbohydrates, these breakfast biscuits are great for those in a rush, but still want something quick, easy and nutritious whilst on the go. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to try something new for breakfast or even as a mid morning snack, as these are absolutely delicious!
 However, if choc chip isn't your thing, these biscuits come in a number of different varieties, including crunchy oats, forest fruits, fruit & fibre, honey & nut and milk & cereal. So there is definitely a flavour out there for everyone! I know next time I'm at my local supermarket, I will 100% be picking up some more of these as they are the perfect snack to start the day with!

Have you tried these Belvita biscuits before? What are your go-to breakfast ideas for on the go?

 There's no denying that I love to cook, and any kind of pasta dish is my favourite thing to eat. But sometimes making some fancy sauces or using loads of vegetables is time consuming and takes a lot of effort, especially if you struggle with your way round a kitchen. When it comes to cooking, sometimes it's all about simplicity, and my recipe today is all about that! A simple tomato sauce is the perfect accompaniment to any form of pasta. So carry on reading to find out how I make my own. Vegetarian Tagliatelle Pasta Recipe
Ingredients
500g fresh or dried Tagliatelle
1 x 400g tinned chopped tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
1 small bunch of basil
pinch of chilli flakes
sea salt
black pepper
Parmesan cheese 

Method
Heat a saucepan over a medium heat and add some olive oil. 
Add the chopped garlic and fry for a couple minutes. 
Add the tinned tomatoes.. 
Season with chilli flakes, black pepper and a tiny pinch of salt.
 Cook the tagliatelle according to the packet instructions, and drain once cooked.
Toss in the cooked pasta in your tasty tomato sauce and mix well.
Serve with Parmesan cheese, black pepper and a sprig of fresh basil.

The end result is super tasty and can be put together in a matter of minutes. A great, easy recipe to follow for when you need a fast lunch or dinner idea!

Let me know if you give this recipe a go, and I'd love to hear about your quick pasta sauce recipes!

  After developing quite the obsession with a few LUSH products lately, there always seems to be a couple that I just have to keep on repurchasing and will continue to do in the future. Enter Creamy Candy Bubble Bar.

So as you may have guessed from the title, I am currently obsessed with buying shorts. Hands down, I'm a shorts kinda girl. Shorts over skirts any day. I don't know what it is, but there's just so many pairs out there that I am dying to get my hands on. 

The two pairs of shorts featured in today's post are both recent purchases from Forever21 and I am definitely in love! Usually I'm not a printed bottom half lover, I usually go for something quite plain and boring, but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and go for something a little more colourful and vibrant, and just something to add a little special something to my outfits.

First up are the gorgeous Scarf Print Tap Shorts. Aren't these just stunning! I absolutely adore the colours and print of these! The material used is so soft and silky, they just feel amazing on and really flatter your body shape. The pocket detail on the shorts really give them a smart and sophisticated detail, but with that more casual, relaxed vibe that I base my style choice on. What I love about these shorts is that they are so versatile in how you can style them, both casually for daytime, or dress them up for an evening look, you can do both! At only £13.50, these were definitely a bargain purchase!

Secondly are these gorgeous Pleated Tribal Shorts. Unfortunately I am unable to find them online, but they may still be in stores. These have to be the most flattering and comfortable shorts I have ever purchased. The print and colours is definitely a little out there and bold, but paired with a simple colour, I think they look great! Below I have a couple of pictures, where I pieced them together with a simple black top and black heels for my friend's leaving party.


Are you shorts obsessed too? Where are your go-to stores to buy shorts? Have you bought any recently?
