Im back + update (etsy shop!)

Hi everyone!

Im so sorry!

Its been 3 months since my last post and I completely forgot about it ! :(
I have been so so busy with everything going on at school like production and getting way too much homework and out of school. Also having to film videos for youtube and blogging was just too hard. Now that I think about it I didn't have that much going on but everything felt so overwhelming I never had time for myself! I stopped youtube but I hope blogging will be a weekly thing from now on.

Update:

I have a shop opened up on etsy just for me to sell cute little things I like to make or find. I recently learned how to make chokers and I'm so in love! Im so so happy things from the 90s have come back.
www.metxllics.etsy.com
I have recently opened it so theres hardly anything on it but please follow and buy something if you want :P

Completely deleted my instagram feed and started fresh - I am over edits and using white borders for every photo I miss having my instagram photos edit free hahah. My instagram is meravx.

Moved houses!! - One more reason to why I haven't been filming or blogging..
I moved to a house near the beach a bit far from school but I am sooo happy  to be here!

Changed my eating habits! - Something I will be blogging about a lot from now on (hopefully!)
I have never been a fan of junk foods or sugary foods from the beginning because my parents never liked it and hardly brought it home (which I am SO glad about) but the little things like buying sweets from the dairy or making cookies with 2 cups of sugar (ew) never ever made me happy.
To be honest I really wanna go vegan but I love meat so I am not sure thats a good idea.
But I love making healthy food it always makes me feel happy so I can't wait to share some recipes with you all!

I joined yoga! - I started about 2 months ago and its seriously the best thing ever. I used to do Bikram Yoga which is boiling hot but amazing in an area near school but since I moved I can't go there anymore cause it means I have to bus late or get my parents to pick me up but its a bit of a long drive 20 mins or so. I have been using CD's and youtube at home its not as fun as Bikram Yoga when I went to a studio but it will do for now. Im looking for yoga classes in my area and none of them seem exciting.
Yoga makes me feel so peaceful and happy I recommend it to everyone!

Oh well thats all for now.
Iv been sleeping so late every night and waking up late everyday and I absolutely hate it :(
I put my alarm for 8 tomorrow and Im going to walk to the bakery through the beach and going to buy some yummy bread to make poached eggs for breakfast!

If it ends some pretty ( I have never made them) I will take pics to post here.

Goodnight bloggers! xox

Easy polka dot nails!

Hi everyone!

School recently started on thursday and I wanted to paint my nails a really cute yet simple design so its not too over the top for school but its still cute and chic.
I know this is a really easy design but I want to start doing nail art blogs because I always seem to have nail polish on my nails and when I do they always have a different design on them!

Today I will be doing :

White and black polka dot nails!

Products I used:

 Base coat - Sally hansen hard as nails

Main color - OPI. My boyfriend scales walls #37

Polka Dots: LA colours, colour craze in Black pearl. ( This is a shimmery metal but you could use a simple black too, I just thought it would look a bit different with this colour)

Dotting tool ( Or you could use a pen, bobby pin or toothpick)

I usually put 6 dots all over the nail starting with 1 on the middle and 2 on top

Also, I only put the polka dots on every 2nd or 3rd nail.

So on my left hand I only have 2 with the dots and on my right I have 3!

My favorite top coat - Lizgy ( Not sold in NZ though :( bought it in SA) 

I usually top it all off once my nail polish is dry with this nail growth serum, it hardens & makes my nails grow sooo long!! ( I filed my nails short for this nail art though)  I love this serum so so much! 

I  hope you all liked this super easy and cute nail art!

Please make sure to follow and like my blog! :)

Trip to Wellington!

Hi bloggers!

Its the holidays now which I have been enjoying so so much but I have 5 days left till school starts :|
I have been traveling to many places around in New Zealand and one of the places I went to was Wellington! I have already lived here about 4 years ago and it was nice to go back.
I stayed for about 2 1/2 days and it was really nice and sunny which isn't normal for Wellington haha.

While I was there I took many places but I will just be posting these for now :)

For those who are wondering I took these pics with the Canon 600D.

Oh and the photo which is my timeline photo thing on the top of my blog was taken here too.

Anyways that was my little daily adventure blog, hope you liked it and if you want more don't forget to follow this blog :)

Beach & Long Walks!

Hi everyone :)

Since its the holidays for me here in New Zealand I have been doing a lot of exploring in Auckland and out of it too.

Recently I went to this beautiful walk called Oakura Bush and its about a 11k walk which was pretty tiring but it was definitely worth it. Here are some pics of it. If you live in New Zealand and you like to hiking or long walks you should definitely go there. You will be walking and going up and down stairs which gets hard!

Anyway here's some pics.

 Anyways thats it for today!

Easy delicious spaghetti!

Hi Bloggers!

Today I will be showing you all how to make a super easy and very easy spaghetti :)

I am home alone right now and I am super bored and hungry so I decided to cook something easy and tasty.

Here are the ingredients but before you read them the amounts and sizes of the foods could vary depending on how much you eat or how many people will be eating.

                                      

What you will need:

Olive oil ( Or any oil of your choice)

Mince meat - About 1 bowl full 

Tomato - 1 Sliced

Potato - 3 peeled & chopped

Tomato paste - 2/3 cups + mixed with water 

Onion - 1 sliced/chopped

Garlic - 1 clove/ 3 or 4 pieces chopped

Bavette - About 1/2 of the box ( Bavette is a thicker type of spaghetti)

Spices - Salt, pepper & italian herbs

Red wine - I used a dash of wine maybe about 2/3 teaspoons to just give it a little flavor. You don't have to if you don't wanna.

I used 2 different types of tomato paste.

The one of the left was from the shops and the one on the right is homemade!

While chopping up all the veggies boil your spaghetti.

Put the potatoes, garlic and onions first and let it fry.

After everything is nice and golden fry the mince.

While the mince is cooking add in your paste and tomatoes.

Let your pasta simmer and slowly let it cook with a low heat.

Add in the pasta and you are done!

Top off with a little bit of cheese for your desire.

This was super easy and delicious!

Thanks for reading! xx
