Quick, Easy, Kind of healthy meal.

This isn't the sort of blog post that I thought I would be doing when I started my blog, however, I am! I got inspiration for this whilst doing my uni work (which im drowning in a the moment because of deadlines). At the moment Im writing a feature for a magazine about "healthy eating on a budget" as most of us girls are looking forward to our holidays and want our bikini body back whilst saving so we have lots of spending money so the last thing we want to spend money on is food!

The ingredients you will need are these!
-Bacon ( 4/5 rashers depending on how meaty you want it to be make sure you cut it into small pieces)
- Mushrooms (4/5 sliced mushrooms again depending on how much you want)
- A handful of spinach
- Any pasta of your choice I used spaghetti
- Linguini
- Can or tin of tomatos
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Salt & Pepper to season.

First of all heat up some oil in a pan,  then add the garlic and bacon together cook until its brown. Whilst the bacon is cooking heat some water in a saucepan for the pasta, when the water is boiling add the pasta and leave it to cook.

Once the bacon has browned add the mushrooms and mix them in so they get the flavor of the garlic. once cooked add the spinach and let that cook then add the tin/carton of chopped tomatos and season with salt & pepper, if you like a bit of a kick to it add some chilli or crushed chillis to it.

Once the pasta is cooked add it to the sauce and mix it all in.  & you should end up with something like this...

It isn't the most attractive looking dishes which has ever been made, but it tastes really good and its rediculously easy to make and altogeher costs around £6/7 and theres bound to be some left over to have the next day for lunch or dinner! Give it a go and let me know what you think!

Reviews - Justin Bieber, Thriller Live & A Chorus Line



Last month, I was quite lucky considering I'm a student and went to go and see a few musicals and also Justin Bieber in concert!

The first thing I saw last month was Justin Bieber in concert at the O2 in London. Some of you are most probably thinking (if you dislike Justin Bieber) why the hell did you go and see him, and the reason for this is my housemate at uni Becca asked me to go with her as she is literally one of his biggest fans!

Luckily we didn't go on his first opening night where he came on stage an hour later or something rediculous, instead we went on the Thursday when he collapsed on stage! I've seen a lot of concerts at the o2 and his was probably one of my favourites that i've been too. The atmosphere that you get when your inside the actual arena is just amazing its completely buzzing which is what you want when you go to a concert. I do feel sorry for him, hes 19 and he is incredibly talented, he has a beautiful voice and he is an amazing dancer as well, and at that age to put on a performance that he did is incredible. He's an inspiration to his fans as well, telling them to believe in themselves and what they do to acheive things in life. And if you want to do well then you do have to "believe".

The o2 - Justin Bieber "Believe" tour.



Thriller -

My Mum's friend was over from Paris so my Mum wanted to take her friend to see a West End musical so we all decided on Thriller and we didn't regret this decission at all. I love going to see a good musical, it makes such a good evening its a bit pricey but its nice to do it now and again and if you go on lastminute.com and other similar websites you can get some great deals too!

I wanted to go and see it as a friend of mine from school Jordan Palmer is in it. (she wasn't in it when we went but she is now!) its quite a new musical to the West End and I think it will be around for sometime as its fantastic. Its based on the well-known, amazingly talented, Micheal Jackson and includes all his hit songs right from when he was in the Jackson 5. The whole cast are all incrdibly talented and the atmosphere which they create in the theatre is amazing as well the audience were getting up and dancing, it is deffinitely a "feel good" musical and I would recomend to go and see it especially if you are a Micheal Jackson fan!

A Chorus Line -

After going to see Thiller it got my mum & I in the mood to see another musical so we decided on A Chorus Line at the London Palladium. When we arrived at the Palladium we thought it was only right to have a glass of champagne to get us ready for the show!

We went to the matinee so there wasn't an interval half way through so if you do like a break I wouldn't recomend to see a matinee, however this wasn't a problem for us! It probably wasn't one of my favourite musicals that i've seen as I found it quite repetitive but thats not to say it wasn't good as all the cast members were all extremely talented. Its about people auditioning to be in a Broadway musical, its a chance of a lifetime for them and its the opportunity to do what they've always dreamed of doing that is to have the chance to dance.

The story is told through dancing, singing and acting, however some off it does get a bit repetitive so I would probably reccomend to go to the evening performance rather than the matinee

I've been a bit rubbish with updating my blog but hopefully I'm back into it now so there will be more things coming on here!
