Avocado for Lunch-Guest post by Cat Mariano

Today I traded posts with Cat, we decided to give you guys something different.

Food.

Healthy Food, but wait...

Tasty Healthy Food?

YES

Cat is a 24 year old girl,Portuguese blogger living in London that writes about anything and everything.

I contacted her wanting to trade guest posts and we both agreed it would be a good idea to trade recipes.

So without further adieu here is Cat's special avocado recipe.

Avocado for Lunch

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Ripe avocado
• 1 fresh egg
• Salt and pepper (at taste)
•  Slice of Rye bread
•  Mint and parsley (at taste)

Directions:

1.  Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees.
2.  Take out about 2 tablespoons of flesh from the centre of your avocado, and save on a tiny plate.
3.  Crack an egg inside of the avocado, making sure the egg white is covering the yolk.
4. It’s time to bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the avocado as you don't want it too toasted.
5. While we are waiting for the avocado to bake, start mashing the flesh you took in step 2. Toast the rye bread and spread the mashed avocado on top of the toast. Top it up with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
6. Take the avocado out of the oven and season it with cumins, salt and pepper, and hot sauce or soya sauce if you feel like it.

Avocado and egg: 224 cals, 7.5g protein, 16g fat, 14g carbs
Avocado on toast: 162 cals, 5g protein, 8g fat, 20g carbs

LIEBSTER AWARD - Part 2

Hello again!
I've been nominated by Kate at http://katesfashionandbeauty.com/ for the LIEBSTER AWARD Thank you!
This is the second time Ive been nominated, hence Part  in the title

Most bloggers, at some point, have heard of or received the Liebster award, unless you are a newbie! From the extensive searches I have conducted in my attempts to learn about this award, I have visited a bunch of blogs and gleaned the following information:

• This award exists only on the internet, and is given to bloggers by other bloggers.
• It has German origins – the word “liebster” has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart and boyfriend (really?)
• It follows similar principles as a chain letter, in the sense that it should be passed forward to a certain number of people.
• It can be misconstrued, depending upon your personal views, as either something wonderful (who doesn’t like awards?) or as an annoyance (a chain letter that involves work).
• The choice lies within each of us to ACCEPT it, and continue PAYING IT FORWARD or to refuse to accept it, thereby STOPPING or INTERRUPTING the chain. However, if you stop the chain, you are only hurting yourself (keep reading for benefits you will have)!
• Personal views play an important part in our choice to participate. Some people have refused to accept it and have made attempts to “break the chain”. There have been many people who have been nominated, yet refused to accept it, and now their blogs have been abandoned.
• Variations have been made over time to the “rules”.
• Marketing plays a role in accepting this award, as other bloggers are promoted. (This is not a bad thing, however, since people should help others!)
• 
  

It is said that the Liebster award was created to recognize and/or discover new bloggers and welcome them to the blogosphere. In the digital world of the internet, this seems like a nice gesture, in my opinion!

Sorry if this isn't properly translated, I could only find spanish articles and none of them had the option to translate.

Working with Kids

Ive always loved the idea of working with kids, and two years ago I took the decision to actually study child care.
After finishing this course I got offered the chance to travel and work in a really good school but because of my unfortunate events at the time I couldn't go, and this year the same thing happened, I got the perfect call at the wrong time.
Twice.
This year around the same time, the same school called again, and once again I had to say no due to circumstances.

But I'm finnally working as a child carer (just for one kid) and im discovering It's not as hard as the books said it would be.
(Granted, I studied to look after children from the ages of 0 to 6 and the one I'm with is 9 years old and she can take better care of herself than a toddler)

It's actually much easier once you get started,at least it is for me.
Once you bond with the child you're good to go.

My 2015 To Do List

At the end of 2014 I thought It would be a good idea to write stuff I wanted to do in 2015 down on a piece of paper seeing as my memory is rubbish and I just brush my ideas off for another day and end up forgetting or not doing them.

Here are my goals for 2015 and how Ive been doing so far:

• Get a job (woo after two years of wondering around lost with a CV I got a job, you can see my post on it here )

• Buy a camera (Yup I got me a camera)

• Start videos Subscribe!

• Get an apartment ( I'm 20 years old and still living with my parents and brother)

• Save up for Wales. Ive been wanting to do this for years, I haven't seen my best friend in 5 years (by the way, she just got into blogging why don't you drop by and give her a few ideas here )

• Do some sort of exercise  (turns out looking after a kid is a hell load of exercise)

• Get braces ( were now at the end of summer and my dentist told me to get them this summer, I keep putting it off arrrrrrrrgh I don't want them!)

• Redecorate the whole house ( Its a waiting game so far but I will get it done but im super excited about this! Plus Its a big house and will probably take forever BUT I WILL GET IT DONE)

• Travel a lot

• Buy a laptop

• Buy make up brushes

Did you do anything similar? What was it?
