I am aware that this blog must feel like a long distant memory. After starting my YouTube channel and that really starting to take off, I just couldn't seem to find the time to dedicate to a blog too.  Interestingly however it doesn't seem to be just me who had their attention aimed elsewhere. The more research I do, the more it seems that people just aren't reading blogs anymore. With life being so fast paced now, people simply do not have the time, or the attention span to sit down and enjoy a blog post. This was another thing that put me off dedicating my time to it. what would be the point if no one would read it anyway? But then I really started to miss it. Missed just spilling my thoughts out into a space that was entirely my own, without a care really if anyone would ever read it, as they probably wouldn't anyway. It was then that I decided, blog posts may not be 'in' right now, but who cares?! I've never really been one to foll

T his smoothie is seriously amazing. I have to ration myself so that I don’t have it every morning and become permanently sick of it. It’s perfect for getting your morning off to a nutritious, energetic, d elicious start. Completely Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, all of that malarkey whilst still actually tasting good,  what’s not to love? It’s also the perfect post workout smoothie as it’s packed full of protein, especially if you add the optional Hemp Powder. It basically tastes like a chocolate milkshake, but with way more nutrients and a LOT less sugar. Read on and thank me later. Ingredients: 300ml Oat Milk or Dairy Free Alternative (feel free to use Dairy if you’d prefer) 1 tsp Cacao Powder 1/2 tsp Cinnamon Powder 150g Frozen Banana 1 tbsp Peanut Butter 1 Squeeze Honey/Maple Syrup 2 Cubes Ice 2 tbsp Hemp Powder (optional) Voila! My Favourite Chocolate-y Morning Smoothie. Let me know if you try it what you think in the comments section below!

I have been hugely terrible at updating my blog recently, and for that I apologise, but I received this gift last week and, although it is rather late, I couldn't not share it with you. I repeat, this is very very late. Not entirely sure way I'm insisting on posting it but I am obsessed with Lush  and wanted to share my joy. I was lucky enough to go home for the Easter weekend and spend some much needed time with my family. We didn't get up to much, just lots of walks, roast dinners and an ample supply of chocolate. One evening, my sister walked into the living room with a giant cardboard carrot and I was very confused. I am an avid Lush fan, and I had completely missed this Easter treat. I think their Easter bath bombs are some of my favourites, so I was extremely excited when I realised that the giant carrot of dreams, was indeed, intended for me. After having received/bought a LOT of lush products over the years, I think it is safe to say that this was one of my f

Hello! It's me! Not Adele. How are ya? Sorry I haven't posted on here for a while (I'm sure all of you reading this, i.e my Dad- Hi Dad!- are devastated). I hope that you had a great start to the year. After a bit of a slow start I feel like February just flew by and before I knew it, it was March and I hadn't put up my February Favourites YouTube video, let alone attempted a blog post. However I really do miss blogging, and after a kick up the bum from some friends and family, I've decided to get back on it. So, without further adieu, here are my February Favourites. First on quite an exciting note I have a little giveaway for you! The watch brand Jord (pronounced Yode; I was saying it wrong for ages), very kindly sent me one of their watches and a link for you to win an £100 gift voucher to use anywhere on their site. Or if you just want an instant £25 off anything, use the discount code georgie_ashford at Checkout. How awesome! Giveaway link:  https:

Taking a risk is scary. Trust me I know. I find, when it comes to making a decision, I'll most likely go with the safest option. That makes sense right? When planning a Theatre trip, I completely get the desire to spend savvy. After all, a family trip to the Theatre, a trip with friends, or even a solo trip, quite frankly costs a bomb. Not even counting the increasingly expensive theatre tickets, there's also the petrol, train, tube costs, along with food, drinks and overnight accommodation if you're travelling a long way. All things considered, going to see a show is going to cost a lot. So keeping this in mind, I see why, in general, people will flock to the long running, West End classics such as Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Mamma Mia or The Lion King. These shows have been around for years. They've well and truly withstood the test of time. And people love them. Myself included, Les Miserables is one of my all time favourite shows and I'm sur

I can't quite believe, as I type this, that October is almost over. I say it every year, but this year really has flown. It's been a crazy one, full of lots of different people, places and things, (reference to one of my favourite plays there, couldn't resist). Since discovering YouTube, one of my favourite types of videos to watch, and now indeed, create, is a 'Favourites' video. Not just because I find them so incredibly helpful to find new Brands, Authors, TV Shows etc, but because, with my own videos, it's like a little online memory box of great reminders from every month. My favourites are incredibly random every month, which I think reflects my own life- I am interested in so many different things, and I love to bring them all together into one video, to share them with you all and hopefully help you discover new and interesting things as well. I'm very new to the blogging/YouTube world so I apologise if I'm getting this all wrong, but I thoug
