Bubble-icious Bubble Tea

Walking through Shoreditch after a swift visit to one of my favourite stores Beauty Mart, with the flatmate, who chose to sit outside after being embarrassed watching me attempt to swim throughout the incredible amount of beauty and wonder on offer.

I thought it was time we tried the famous Bubble tea! The idea of a beautifully bubbly tea seemed to really intrigue me, originating in Taiwan this tea is a delightful mix of tapioca bubbles and real, cold, flavoured tea (of which I have since learnt, they have introduced hot tea for the frozen winter chills). Off we hovered to Milk Tea and Pearl a minimal, modern twist on the tea shop, which lives on the top of the BoxPark shopping experiment.

We were met by two beautiful girls, who worked in the shop and an array of what I can only describe as different coloured bath pearls, turns out after much exploration and my mafia interrogation of the poor girl behind the counter, these are made out of cassava, sweet potato and yam! Even more intrigued we continued to order our tea, still not knowing what this really was. With a choice of different flavours and textures, we eventually ordered Passionfruit tea with Strawberry flavoured bubbles.

Still so amazed by the bubble-icious appearance of the tea, we tried it and a taste explosion ensued, the only way I can describe the taste is as an earl grey, flowery english country garden tea with a hint of passionfruit and a whiff of strawberry when the bubbles zapped up the straw. It was slightly hard to get all the bubbles as the tube wasn't quite large enough for some of them but there was defiantly enough bath pearls in that cup for a small army.

What a great experience we had that sunny afternoon with The bubble tea girls. I would recommend everyone to try this, it defiantly is a sensation and flavourful dream, everyone should experience this at least once in their lives.

The Tiramisu recipe to end all Tiramisu recipes!!!

My other half, partner in crime, the Robin to my Batman or whatever we like to call each other, absolutely LOVES Tiramisu. Almost as much as I love chocolate, which is an awful lot I can tell you.   With my love of baking and developing new experimental ways of cooking and with Guy always ready and willing to be the food crash test dummy, I get to work creating new and exciting meals, cakes and desserts with every ingredient I can put my hands on. One of the most popular dishes and one to give you a little wake up after an evening meal is the traditional classic, created by my Italian ancestors, Tiramisu. I have added a slight twist to the traditional recipe and you can make this with or without the alcohol. Enjoy! Ingredients. 550ml    Double cream 250g      Mascarpone - (that famous cheese that hides a baby horse i hear you say) ;) 1 tsp      Nutmeg 5 tbsp    Soft brown sugar 1 x        Pack sponge fingers 300ml   Strong coffee (made with 2 x tbsp coffee) or 300ml   Espr

Periods, Tampons and all that other girly downstairs stuff

Throughout the tummy aches, hot water bottles, doses of Feminax tablets and inability to function on occasion. I got to thinking, how much do we really know and understand about our "time of the month", the causes of pain, the things that help with the discomfort and all the inflictions we don't understand or believe in because we simply do not know and are mostly too scared to ask, well below I have tried to explain and help you understand what could be the problem "downstairs" if you catch my drift. Recently I have been reading more and more about young girls developing a terrible illness caused mostly by tampons named TSS or toxic shock syndrome. This sounds highly petrifying and frightfully deadly and in some cases it is. This is simply because we do not understand a lot of its causes and symptoms. Toxic Shock syndrome or TSS is mostly caused by bacterial toxins entering the bloodstream, either through cuts and open wounds or when a foreign object enters

Coconut Oil. What can we actually do with it?

Image
You can cook with it, cleanse, moisturise and tone with it, bake with it, clean with it, put it in your hair, eat it and bath in it. What is this wonder product?? I hear you shout with enjoyment. Well, I would like to introduce to you and familiarise you with natures own, Coconut Oil. Coconut Oil is a natural oil extracted from the flesh of the fruit. It is entirely organic with no added preservatives or specials. It starts as a solid and melts down to an oil at higher temperatures. The best way to get the right consistency is to sit your jar in a bowl of warm water until you have the sufficient amount for your beauty regime. 1) Coconut oil is incredible for moisturising your hair and adding some shine and condition to those dull straw like ends. Simply wash your hair as normal, then apply your oil to the ends of your hair, leave for 5-10 mins rinse throughly and gorgeous sleek locks you shall have. 2) Rub into your warm skin after showering or bathing for a beautiful body mois
