Breville Blend Active

Hey Jelly Beans,

Those of you who follow me on Instagram will know that there's a new love in my life- The Blend Active Blender/Smoothie Maker by Breville.
 
Although I eat a varied, diet I struggle to get my 7 a day in, particularly during months where there's not much seasonal fruit on offer so I looked in to getting a juicer.  After a few discussions with people and a trawl through the internet I decided to get this little beauty in favour of a juice extractor.
The great thing about blenders is that, unlike a juicer, instead of separating the pulp from the juice it just blends it all together. Less waste and lots more nutrients- boom. Plus the fact that for me, having more bulk to my drink would keep me fuller for longer.  I bought mine from Home Bargains for £14.99.
It's an absolute dream to use, and more importantly, to wash up. Put your ingredients in the bottle, screw on the lid, tip it upside down and clip into the blender. Then blend it all together, unscrew it, whack on a lid and drink up. 
 
 
 
I honestly can't recommend it enough and it seems a lot of other people like the look of it too, I posted a photo on my personal Facebook and five of my friends have already bought one.
 
Do you prefer juicing or blending? What's your favourite flavour? Post your recipe below or send me a photo to @xhixxiex on Twitter or Instagram
 
That's it lovelies. Speak to you all again soon with another post.

Berlin Day 2

Hello Jelly Beans, So todays post is going to be short and sweet, simply because I visited one place and then had to come home due to feeling a little poorly. So first thing was breakfast. Being summoned to the breakfast room this sight greeted me. Freshly squeezed juices, different teas and coffee. Doughnuts, croissants, toast, muffins both sweet and savoury, a huge selection of cereal and of course a fried breakfast. I went for some simple toast and a cuppa tea. Before heading out in the taxi to my next location to explore.   So I hear you all shout "where did you go today"? Well my dear friends, I shall tell you. Today I took a trip to the iconic landmark that is. The Berlin Wall. Well what can I tell you about this wall. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The barrier included guard towers placed along large ...

Ford Street Car 1.6 Luxury - Cute & Affordable

Good Evening Everyone. Today I thought that I would start something slightly different as a running series. Car/vehicle reviews. Now I absolutely love my cars and vehicles so thought I would kick off this series with my very own love....The Ford Street Ka!! As much a fashion accessory as a mode of transport, the Street Ka is cute enough to have character, cheap enough to be bought by a single girl about town and sensible enough to serve a useful purpose while it looks good. The solid underpinnings of the car have been stiffened and tweaked to release a wee bit more performance, but this is not a vehicle with any serious sporting pretensions. It's eminently chuckable, but the limitations of the 1.6-litre engine prevent even clog-footed drivers getting themselves into trouble. Around town it's at its best, darting in and out of traffic, nipping into tight parking spaces and performing neat little U-turns. On the motorway it gets a bit too talkative but is f...
