******Review*******

Hi guys so from the title you will probably now what this post is about!, Yep back again with a product review!!.

I have to say this one is my favourite by far, interested?, read up about what it is down below 👇😀

The Product is from a company called JASTEK and it is available to purchase on amazon.co.uk, it is Multi USB charging cable and has 4 different charge connectors to choose from, these are 

  • 2x Lightening 8pin cables suitable for iphone 7/7plus SE/6/6S/6plus/5/5c/5s iPad 4 retina, iPad Air/Mini
  • 1x Micro USB cable suitable for most android phones & tablets, bluetooth headset, external batteries and more...
  • Type C cable suitable for the latest Macbook, OnePlus2, Pixel C, Nexus 5X/6P, NokiaN1 tablet, Lumia 950, Lumia 950XL and other devices with a type C connector
 The Multi USB Cable length is 3.3 feet (1M) in total,and  is made of a Nylon braided protective layer and Aluminium alloy connector's. This product is perfect for people who are tired of taking multiple chargers with them when travelling, for use in your car or work van, when your battery is running low and you bot need to charge your phone, just plug it in and off you go. This is perfect for me especially at bedtime because i like to set my alarm on my phone and put it on charge, then settle down and watch something on my tablet until i fall asleep. That's all well and good but i have often found myself watching something and the battery light flashes up, i then have to take my phone off charge then swap chargers over so i can carry on watching, the only problem then is i forget to plug my phone back in when i have finished so its not fully charged in the mornings so annoying. Now my problem is solved i can plug my phone and tablet in at the same time and i will have enough length in the wire to still hold my tablet.

2nd Fitness post!!

Hi all, first off i have to say i'm sorry this post is late, only by a day though so better late the never eh!. I got back late Sunday night from a weekends away and one of my girls is a little under the weather so this is the first chance i have to post.

So this is the 2nd Fitness post i am about to upload, i am doing one every week about what i have got up to fitness wise the following week. As you all know last week was the first week of the two week Easter break and because i have my two beautiful girls with me for two whole weeks instead of being in school i cant get to the gym so have to find a different way of keeping up with the exercises, so this may be a short post ha ha, Any way i will get on with is so check out my week below! 👇😊

Monday
So i started out with the squat challenge, this time my girls had the pleasure of joining in with me, they loved it one was counting along as we did each squat 😄. We did plenty of walking and i did some exercises using an app i have on my mobile called workouts. On the app you can choose from Ab, Arm, Butt, Cardio, Leg or Full Body, workouts then the program will ask you to choose between a 5,8 or 10 minute workout, once chosen desired time it will play different exercises for you to do non- stop till the time is up. I currently have an iphone so if you want to check this app out type in workouts to the app store, the app cover is a white square with a blue jogging lady in a blue circle, there is also another good app i also use called simply yoga that is again a white square with a pink woman doing a yoga pose in a pink circle, check them out, pretty good if you cant get to the gym.

Tuesday
Today was rest day for the squat challenge so i didn't have to do that ha ha, Today i spent the whole day doing the garden, digging it over and my gosh it was such hard work!,i  feel that was a good enough work out, sweated so much and my whole body ached especially my arms!.

Wednesday
Started with squat challenge again with the girls, enjoyed a lovely meal at my aunties house then walked to my mums, got some lovely scenery picks from the hill walk, unfortunately because the sun was shining they are a little dark, i also did another work out using the workouts app.

Thursday
Literally did the same as i did yesterday except for the hill walk, Just squat challenge and home workout.

Friday
had time to fit in the squat challenge before i went away for the weekend to visit family

Saturday
family time, missed the squat challenge today but did go on a lovely walk on the beach with the families dogs in Redcar and also visited Whitby and walked round the town sightseeing.

Sunday 
Visited a gym in Middlesborough to get a quick session in, we got in free because it was the first time we had been. It was called the lifestyle fitness, and is honestly the best gym i have ever visited hands down, It was huge they had two floors and every single machine/piece of equipment you could think of even monkey bars and Olympic rings, it also had a ladies only room with cardio and weight sections, as well as a fully stocked health bar and they even sold fitness products like protein powder, shakes etc, i wish they had that gym where i lived. So had a fab early morning work out there.

I did have some pictures to post in this post but it wont let me for some reason so i will post them in the next post, smoothie recipe below. 👇

First Fitness post!!

Hi well here i am posting my first fitness post on the date i actually said i would ha ha. I am posting these every week either on a Saturday or a Sunday, and they will let you in on what i have been getting up to fitness wise that week. I will also be posting a meal recipe r smoothie recipe for you to try out, maybe even both, and i will also include some pictures i have taken during that week. Well i hope you enjoy my first segment check it out below.  👇 😄

So at the moment my arms and legs are aching soooo much, i have pushed myself more this week in terms of exercising and have done the gym Mon-Sat (maybe even do it tomorrow, sun, i'll decide when i wake up ha ha) and i have also tried eating more healthily, especially at lunchtimes before starting work. During the days i start by walking the girls to school, jumping on the bus to town, straight to the gym, after that i go to work, after work its back to town for dinner things, then back on the bus to collect the girls from school and the walk home from school. I will write a little description of what i have done each day in the gym now starting with Monday.

Monday
I wanted to start off the week with a little cardio, so once i got to the gym i put my stuff in my locker and headed to the cardio room. I started on the treadmill doing a fast walk, i then upped the pace into a slow jog, i only jogged for a couple of minutes then dropped it down to a fast walk and upped the climb to a steep hill walk, i did the hill walk (so sweaty ha ha). After the treadmill i went onto the cross trainer and chose difficulty 9 and whole body work out level, i did this for 10 minutes non-stop as fast as i could, every 10 calories i burned i would change from walking forwards to walking backwards, after another 10 were burned i would switch back to walking forwards, i carried on repeating this until i had done. After the cardio room i went into the circuit room and saw they had a 30 day squat challenge pinned up and luckily it was the first day so i decided to join in. I completed the squat challenge then did 50 crunches just to finish up.

Tuesday
Started with the Squat Challenge today this was my little Pre-workout before my class at 9:30-10:15. This is my favorite class its called Abs and Stretch class, we combine ab workouts with yoga stretches and play relaxing music and even light a Lavender smelling candle. Sounds relaxing but it does get your body worked out and still feel tired and sweaty after ha ha.

Wednesday 
Started again with the squat challenge on day 3. I also did 50 crunches with my legs straight out and crossed over on the floor, 10 sit-up paired with an oblique twist using the kettle-bell, 50 crunches with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, 10 full sit ups touching toes with the kettle-bell, another  10 sit-up paired with an oblique twist using the kettle-bell. After this i got the weighted hoop out and did that for  while.

Thursday
Today i started with a little 30 min pre-workout because it was 9:30 and my class didn't start until 10:00-10:45. The mini workout included the weighted hoop and some arm exercises using the dumbbells. Today was supposed to be the rest day for the squat challenge but oh no my trainer said we were not having a rest so we started the legs, bums and tums class doing squats (200+ legs were dead) The legs bums and tums class consisted of loads of different exercises including, squats, low squats, lunges, pulse lunges, dumbbell squats, staying in a squatting position and doing rainbow lifts with the dumbbells crunches, bicycle kicks, sit-ups and oblique twists and more!.

Friday
Just did a few different things today, started with my arms doing overhead lifts with dumbbells and a range of other normal lifts, squat challenge day 5, crunches with legs out and crossed over on the floor (didn't count how many just as many as i could in a certain time), 10 oblique twists and dumbbell lifts (lay flat holding dumbbells, do a full sit up, raise the dumbbells above your head for one lift the hold dumbbells out in front lean back about half way and twist one arm out to the side until dumbbell touches floor, bring back to middle and do other arm, keep staring forward, once done lay down fully and repeat) and finished on the weighted hoop.

Saturday
Did the squat challenge at home and got the kids involved ha ha, then headed to the gym. I started with a floor workout doing 10 oblique/dumbbell twists, 1 min 30sec crunches non stop legs out crossed over on floor, crunches legs bent feet flat on floor and crunches legs raised crossed over all for 1 min 30 sec, i then did the hoop cross trainer and the circuit (the circuit is a range or machines that work out your arms, legs and tummy, all arranged in a circle 8 in total a min on each one non-stop).

Smoothie recipe
Kale Blueberry Smoothie
Kale can be rather tough to blend, but here is a tip to obtain a smooth drink: remove the stems from each kale leaf. The nutrients remain the same, but the drink will be smoother and creamier.

servings: 4
ingredients

  • 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 6 kale leaves, stems removed
  • 1 cup of buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice
Directions
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth, 
Pour the drink into glasses and serve it fresh and chilled

Nutritional information per serving
  • Calories: 127
  • Fat: 0.7g
  • Protein 5.3g
  • Carbohydrates: 27.4g
Join me in the squat challenge 
 

 Saw This in a bus shelter lol

Hope you enjoyed my first fitness post join me for more next week. 💪

****Book Review*****

This is the first book i have read by F. Barish-Stern and i have to say i will be reading another. I am an avid reader and am constantly looking for new and interesting books to read. I read the description to this book and thought i would give it a try also the cover piqued my interest as it was very unusual/different. The book drew me in on the very first page and since then i couldn't put it down, i was wanting to know what happened next and looked forward to picking up where i left off.

The book is very well written and shows a lot of imagination, the author really knows how to capture your interest and make you want more. The characters are brilliant and i love the strong bong the family holds withing the story especially between the siblings. I love the descriptive writing of the world they live in set in the future, it makes you picture how you yourself would live with the technology they have. 

Fantastic read, the type of book i would re-read again, i highly recommend giving this story a read you will enjoy it a lot just like i have done!


i will now post the official synopsis of the book and after that there will be a link to where you can find the book so you can check it out for your self which i highly recommend you do, happy reading guys x


synopsis :
The sleepy college town of Island Falls, was never the same after the Kane family arrived, and what followed them there, would change their lives, forever.
Twins, Brad and Evie Kane, are college students struggling to live up to the expectations of their world-famous scientist parents, when suddenly, CONTROLLER crashes into their world.
No one knows how CONTROLLER, a computer virus became a sentient being, or how it creates holograms and human helpers, but students like Brad’s best friend, Jonathan are becoming mindless followers.
In this first book of the BREV Force Trilogy, Code 47 to BREV Force - CRACKO, Evie and Brad see what’s happening to their friends, but no one is taking the threat seriously, including their parents.
The twins take matters into their own hands and sneak into their parent’s lab to develop an antidote to CONTROLLER’S mind altering. Their experiment doesn’t work, but a lab accident causes side effects of its own when some of their mixture gets into a used petri dish. What bubbles up is the key to the past and the creation of The BREV Force!
The BREV Force prepare to go up against CONTROLLER and are surprised by the pros, cons and responsibility their new roles demand, as well as the changes in their personal lives, that shows being a super hero, with or without a costume isn’t always easy.
CONTROLLER’S influence becomes wide spread and Island Falls is the stage for a showdown between good and evil. Choosing sides isn’t as simple as it seems. Family relationships are challenged, friendships are tested, and what started out as a computer virus is building an army to take over the world.
During these times when super heroes fill our lives and fantasy trumps reality, our heroes, The BREV Force, are putting it all in the lines of The Code 47 to BREV Force Trilogy, with one goal — Stop CONTROLLER and Save OUR World!

Busy Busy Busy

SOOOOOO

Been a little busy lately, had a brainstorming session with my best friend about our blogs and stuff and i am finally getting my you-tube channel started.........

I have been thinking about starting a you-tube channel for a while just because i am simply a massive fan and watch it everyday and its honestly something i am interested in trying, if i try and it doesn't work out for me then hey, at least i tried and didn't just leave it and always wonder what if!!
I need to make an intro video first then i will post my very first video, i have thought about some video ideas and i am quite excited. I'n not going to say that all the videos will be about the same thing they will be pretty random but like i said in my you-tube description "not everybody is uniform", so yeah i have that to look forward to very soon.

I said earlier i have brainstormed about ideas for my blog, i am also really excited to start posting about some of them ideas very soon, i just have to organize and schedule the dates of when i want to do what, some of the ideas wont take place until the summer time but quite a few of them will be sorted and uploaded hopefully in the coming weeks. I plan to get a little time to myself where i can go to the library, hide away upstairs and spread out on the big tables in the quite room and get writing its the perfect place (i have already been in the room and decided where about's i want to sit ha ha).

After i have sorted the scheduling for my blog and you-tube and made my first videos etc i also want to kick start my creative writing. I have always wanted to write a short story or poems and eventually work up to maybe a full book. I have always loved writing and i would often write poems for my friend and have wrote one for a close friend when she passed away and also for family to put in their cards etc. I myself find it easy and so comforting to write and once i start i dont want to stop, my partner has suggested a few good ideas to get me started poem wise and i think i might just start writing a shot story and share a bit of it and see where get with that and what people think.

So yeah a lot of things going on, along with the normal day to day life of work and raising two little ones with my fantastic partner.

Going to head off now, hopefully be back soon with an update of how far i have got

happy mothers day to all the lovely ladies out there too hope you all had a lovely day

I did it!!

Its official, i did it...... I posted faster than i did last time ha ha

Granted it wont be a very long post because i have mummy duties to do, but i have just got in from school with one of my children (i haven't forgotten about one she is at an after school club, and getting picked up by daddy then accompanying him to the hairdressers ha ha) my little monster is currently coloring while wearing her Cinderella dress so i have a spare 10 minutes before i have to start tea and all that other jazz!

In fact i think i am going to make myself a coffee after this and watch an episode of Judge Judy, then i will make tea!! i have been out the house since 8:30am so i think i deserve it ha ha.

Cant believe the weather today it was raining so hard this morning, up until i finished work and freezing and now i'm inside, the sun ha come out just typical! I'm sure its supposed to be the first day of spring and people are saying its supposed to snow tonight, typical British weather!

So just decided to write a short post abut my day and what i have gotten up to!
well i got up with the kids, sorted uniform, breakfast, hair etc, school run then to the gym, sweated my head off (literally felt like it would explode it was that hot), and while i was at the gym i saw this brilliant poster that they had put up it said, "exercising regularly helps you to live longer, so why does it always feel like i'm dying when i leave the gym", i thought it was pretty funny ha ha. then i went to work did my thing, back into town after to get dinner stuff then bus up to school to collect my monster!

and that's pretty much it so far who knows what will happen next ill let u know in the next blog post i am going to get to the library or a coffee shop soon with my friend so we can do some brainstorming on our project ideas soon, so i will clue you in when it happens (wont give too much away though!).
