Happy 2020!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Before we start I would like to say a big thank you to beautybeyondbones, Donald Mackenzie and The Dihedral for giving me a like! And without further ado let’s get started!

Happy 2020!

Happy 2020 everyone! I hope that you have all had a lovely holiday. I myself have had well deserved break for a few weeks but I am back and ready blog again. I have lots of news ideas for different posts which I hope you will like and enjoy. So, I thought to myself, because it’s a new year and it’s also the first year of a decade I thought I should do posts on the first thing you eat. Which happens to be breakfast. I love breakfast because there is such a wide variety of different foods to try and also because breakfast food is made to start off your day and give you energy. Now, I know that this year I did want to have a larger focus on healthy eating but, as we all know, sometimes we deserve a treat….
