So first of all, yes, the blog is back. But this time I have a slightly different idea of what I want to post. I want this to be a place I can write my recipes and perhaps the odd book review too. Feel like adulthood has definitely hit hahah. I probably wont be frequent, especially when things get back to normal (I'm hoping for one or two posts a month). I'm always cooking so tbh I shouldn't have an excuse. So with that said I'm going to dive straight in with a v delish recipe I made the other day and it went down a storm. My Chicken & Bacon Gnocchi serves 4 Ingredients; 2/3 chicken breasts (diced) 6 rashes of bacon 500g gnocchi 150ml extra thick cream 300ml vegetable/chicken stock salt and pepper basil & parsely 2 garlic cloves 1 onion I'll keep it short & sweet...

A massive trend at the moment is layering, especially when it's been cold. However, now that it's getting slightly warmer and I can put the big winter coat away I'm having much more fun again planning outfits as I feel like I've got a lot more to work with. I thought it would be the perfect time to try to layer with some new dresses I've bought . So over the last two weeks I have worn these outfits and wanted to share them.

A Bargain - considering at more high end shops this type of dress sells at £25+. I saw this on Keavy Gales post (another blogger)and the next time I went to Primark made sure I purchased it. I Got an XS (6-8) it fits fine, though I pr

Arthritis is mainly associated with adults and when I've told people that I suffer from it, I normally get, "What, arthritis?" or "Isn't that what old people get?" And yeah I thought that too but that's not the case. Childhood Arthritis is very rare compared to adult Rheumatoid or Osteoarthritis and the cause for it is unknown.  The most common type of childhood  Arthritis is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). This was my diagnosis and it was also 'polyarticular' meaning in more than five areas. It can make it harder for children to do everyday tasks such as dressing and walking and in the worst cases can result in disability. Although there is no permanent cure you can achieve permanent remission, where the disease is inactive. I first realised that something was wrong when I was in year seven at secondary school and I couldn't press the palms of my hands flat together, which for any eleven year old should be easy. I told my
