My day today

You probably already know that we have really cool lives. Anyway, moving on...
I would like to tell you about my day because currently I do not have any other ideas for a post. But my day IS interesting, so keep reading!
I had to get up at 6:45am (SHOCK! HORROR!). Anyway, that was because I had to go for a dance rehearsal at 8:30 in the morning. After the 2hr 30mins rehearsal I had a music lesson (both theory and practical). The instrument I play remains a secret (something you will never know...) MWAHAHA!!!!!!! So I was kind of looking forward to a Saturday when I could sleep in till at least 10, but thats not what was in store for me! But I had a fun, jam-packed day! If anyone out there is reading, tell us about your day!
Until next time

I love cooking (especially baking)

Hi people
I am writing about a great hobby I have (which is especially fun with friends): cooking (especially baking.) It is so great because it is lovely to see the food we can create and it doesn't have to be all complicated*- baking for example is so easy but the results are amazing! I love to bake sweet things for family and friends. We have a tradition where I make pancakes every week! I love to make desserts. Me and Bella have made meringues, lemon cupcakes, and orange biscuits (but we used a tangello). That's another great thing about cooking. You can adapt the recipe for it to suit the ingredients you have in your pantry and your level of experience. Like once I opened a recipe book and looked at a cake recipe. One of the ingredients was 'demerara sugar'. I had absolutely no idea what that was and soI just used regular sugar and I don't believe there was any difference with the taste! The best part of cooking is eating it after! (And seeing the satisfied, impressed looks on the faces of your friends and family!)
So if you're looking for a new hobby, try cooking and start with the simple recipes!
Until next time,
Bel

fave food - pancakes! OMG lol when i go to bella's house and we have pancakes i have like half of their ice-cream carton with them!

*when i said complicated i immediately thought about junior masterchef (those kids are amazing!)

Meditating!

Hi everyone

Today's entry from BEL is about meditating!!!! OMG lol we did so much at school. Anyway, meditating is soooooooo nice! It is super relaxing! So now you're probably thinking, sure its great but how do i do it? Here's how:

• I prefer meditating lieing down rather than sitting cross-legged. But its up to you - whatever's more comfortable.


• If you have a meditating CD, put that on and listen with your eyes closed.


• If not, search meditation music onto youtube and you're bound to find something you like.


• Make sure you're comfy and have what you need (e.g. pillow, cushion)


• Don't put the music or CD on too loud.


• Focus on every part of your body - from your eyelids to the tips of your toes. Think about your breathing and just try to relax.


• When you're finished, get up really slowly otherwise you might get blood rushing to your head (i.e NOT VERY PLEASANT!)

Now I bet you're thinking: I really want to do this but I have no time for such things! Meditation is not a kind of thing that you need to spend hours doing. Finding just a few minutes each day or every couple of days is very good - it helps to clear your mind and free it of worries.

SO try it!

Love bel

Continued (A Dream Holiday) by Bell

Hi guys

Funny this is...Bella recently released a great entry about a dream holiday, and I had been thinking about the same thing too! (I think its the gloomy weather that is influencing happy thoughts). Any way, let me tell you about an AMAZING place that I have been to - Fiji.

The people are so lovely and friendly and the beaches and relaxing pools are just breath-taking! The activites you can partake in (kayaking, sailing, visiting local villages are just a few examples) are so fun and just GREAT! It all sounds just like a dream...

dream holidays (planning)

hi bella here again,
pretty bored today
its pouring with rain outside
i thought some sunshine onto our blog may do us some good.


A DREAM HOLIDAY


there are so many places i dream of going but i would love to go to the maldives.
its friendly, tropical and its unlike anything you have ever seen.
clearly a holiday isnt just going pop up but there is absoulutley no harm in dreaming.
my mum has this theory, if you put up pictures of where you want to go there is more chance of it happening.


here are some picture i want to share

Songwriting...

Seriously guys, try songwriting!
A great thing about songwriting is that basically you're free to express yourself however you want - whether you're writing something sad, or possibly romantic. Songs can be about anything you want, and often they're quite personal. You could just write the lyrics, and perhaps add a tune later on, or vice versa. Just do it however you want to - it helps to clear your mind and bring new ideas into your head. So there are plenty of benefits! And if you're musical, feel free to add an instrument to make the sound more interesting. Gather your friends and work all together! Its really up to you. But the most important thing is don't be afraid to start - many people gve up because they think what they've written sounds silly. I won't lie - I've done that too but you should just explore your possibilities with the music.
Have fun - and share any ideas right here in the comments!
Enjoy!
Love Bel xxx
