Meghan Trainor's Lips Are Moving = #awesome

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii - whatup peeps. Sorry I haven't been blogging for an absolute AGE!!!!! :( Well, I'm back now so, don't complain!

Lips Are Moving - Meghan Trainor's catchy song, pushing its way to the top of my favourite songs, shoving Blank Space out of the position.

Why do I like it? Because it's catchy, great to dance and sing along too, plus Meghan Trainor generally has a perfect voice!!!!! I know all the words to the song and, my Lips ain't Moving, my Lips ain't Moving, my Lips ain't Moving, I don't lie, lie, lie baby! :P

'Yeah, I come from outer space!!!!!', well duh, I'm an alien!

If you wanna see the video (I'm too lazy to put it here!), then just go to YouTube, or whatever!

Brilliant Baking

 
Hello in this post I will be showing you how to make banana bread. I hope you enjoy making and eating it!


Banana Bread Recipe

  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • Cook time: 1 hour
  • Yield: Makes one loaf.
No need for a mixer for this recipe! Clean-up is easy too, if you want, you can mix everything in one bowl.
The best bananas to use for banana bread are those that are over-ripe. The yellow peels should be at least half browned, and the bananas inside  squishy and browning.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 very ripe bananas, peeled
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup of sugar (can easily use 3/4 cup, or drop it down to 1/2 cup if you want it less sweet)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes (check at 50 minutes) at 350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack. Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and serve. (A bread knife helps to make slices that aren't crumbly.)

Half Term Ideas

Here are some great places and things to do this half term

1. NATIONAL TRUST
    lots of great places to visit such as Waddesdon Manor and Corfe Castle http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/


2. SHOPPING!
    Why don't you and your mum treat yourself to a shopping filled day at Westfield or your nearest shopping or city centre. I mean who wouldn't. Maybe bring a friend for maximum fun?


3. BAKING
   You and your bezzie could do some yummy baking. Gooey chocolate cookies and crunchy shortbread, or just some cake. My point is make something yummy and delicious.



4. GAMING
     This Half Term play on your game console. Do you have a PS4, XBOX or a WII?
 If you don't have one of those maybe try and get your mum to buy the top trending game like The Game of Life or Monopoly Empire.


5. SPORT
     Now, we all know that we need to keep fit so why don't you and your friends  make up an obstacle course for each other. Or go swimming with friends, or even just go for a run around in your local park. Make the most of the autumn sunshine!


Why don't you people out there comment what you did during half term because I would love to hear what you guys have been up to.

Shake It Off - my fave song at the moment

So everyone out there has to have heard of Taylor Swift's brilliant new song: Shake It Off.

This new trending song is amazing for LOADS of reasons:

1. It is super catchy and easy to learn.
2. It is upbeat and fun.
3. Surely everyone like Taylor?!
4. The video is fun too.
5. It is a great karaoke sing-along.
6. It is good for discos, parties and dancing as well.

I am definitely one of Swift's fans and went straight to YouTube to hear Shake It Off when it was released.
