Inspiration Nation Part 2: The problems with perfection

Found via angelascanlon on instagram but it may not be theirs.

Hello world,
       Society often tells us that we're wrong, that we are bad people. But one thing that I promise you is that you aren't. We are constantly pressurized to be perfect which we simply are not. And I know that it is tricky to believe that it ok to not be 100% perfect (i find this really hard being such a perfectionist it often makes me cry!!!) but all we can really try and do is improve from yesterdays mistakes and mishaps as it is the way we shape our mistakes that re shapes our lives.

       Also, fun fact, chocolate brownies were invented from a kitchen mishap when a cook used the wrong ingredients or something so don't worry, amazing things can come from mistakes!!!

How not to cook :/

Hello world,
 So we all have talents right? And we all have things we really can't do. So I thought  would amuse you with my cooking fails and my reasons why I won't eve be the next Jamie Oliver.

The Ledgened of the Infaltable pizza
   So this one time in Food Technology back at school, we all had to make 3 easy pizzas in 2 hours. Sounds pretty basic for 14 year olds. Apparently not. Somehow, I had added in too much baking soda or whatever it was called and the pizza was no longer thin crust- more the shape of a beach ball! Seriously my friend had to stab it with a fork before I could hand it in to be marked, still came bottem of the class belw the kid who tried to mix cheese and nutella-true story!!!

The cupcakes that Never Left the Oven
    Again, simple recipe that quickly turned into a disaster by adding too much of some ingredient and adding another ingredient that wasn't in the recipe. Unfortunatly the delightful chocolate chip cupcakes ended up more like fireworks and exploded leaving me with LOADS of cleaning to do. Fun.

RIP Random Plastic Spoon
  I couldn't even manage to heat up baked beans until last weeked (no exaggeration!) and I remember setting fire to a spoon that wasn't even being used and a celebration tin attempting this exhaustingly challenging dish. No wonder my mum banned me from her kitchen!!!!

So it seems like I am not going to be winning masterchef any time soon. But I can't be the only one! Tell me some of your cooking disasters in the comments- at least soe of your friends and families. And if you would like to seem any simmilar posts on fails etc. then please tell me bellow.

I'll see you again soon

Blogging Break

Hello world!

   So I took a massive break from blogging to try and review my life and where all this was going. I've decided to move away from the fashion and beauty theme-or any theme- and just write what comes from my crazy mind.
   But I think I owe you all a little bit of catch up.
   Recently I've been swimming in school work (yey!) and I've been lost with life issues and fears of the future. But I am going to change this. I am going to try and post 2or3 times a week! This oes scare me alot but it excites me so much more!
   So fill me in on what I've missed and let me know what you want to see me chat about.

Lots of Love
Miss Ginger Firthy
