Hot Winter Drink

Hello everyone! 

For today's post we decided to write a recipe for a hot drink that we have loved these few cold months. This is a very simple recipe and it is both vegetarian and vegan so if you follow one of these regimes you will have no problem drinking it! We hope you like it, enjoy!

You will need: 

1. Clear apple juice, ours had no sugars added

2. A few cloves

3. Cinnamon sticks

4. An orange

5. Ginger powder 

6. A jug

Process:
1. Pour how much juice you would like to heat up in the jug. 
2. Pour in a few cloves, we usually only put 2 or 3 but if you really like cloves you can obviously put more!
3. Pop in the jug a few pieces of cinnamon from the cinnamon sticks.
4. Cut three or four pieces from the orange and subsequently pour them in the jug. 
5. Sprinkle some ginger powder in the jug.
6. Finally, put the jug in the microwave for 3 minutes, pour it in a mug and enjoy! 
7. If you want to filter it then use a siv, but we like to keep a few pieces of cinnamon or a clove in our mug too. 

Of course, this may also be heated up on a stove with a saucepan, we just used the microwave as it is quicker.
This is a perfect drink for winter and it is also Christmassy, of course Xmas is over, but we can still reminisce and enjoy, right?

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone!

Happy new year! We hope you have had an amazing holiday and we hope you have spent time with your loved ones. Eva and I are so thrilled for 2015, some very exciting things will happen to us (hopefully) this year and we hope you'll have an amazing one too!

It is so important that this year you set yourself goals and achievements you want to reach, whether these are work or school related, or even simple things like drink more water every day!
Never forget, though, about yourself! Always remember to take some time for yourself and take care of your body and mind. Trust us, working/studying gets so much better if you are at peace and happy with yourself. Confidence is key! It isn't easy to be confident and it surely isn't something that you become overnight, but we're sure you'll be more confident and strong in 2015!


Our New Year's Resolutions:

1. Take care of ourselves- Eva recently started an all-natural beauty night routine for example (stay tuned for our next posts).

2. Study harder for exams and to get into the universities we want.

3. Be brave- do what you always wanted to do and what you're passionate about, and don't care about what everybody else thinks!

4. Be more confident with ourselves in general.

5. Especially for Alia- stop worrying so much for everything!


We wish you the best luck this year, we know this was a really short post, we have been working on some new things which we'll try to post as soon as we can. We are truly sorry for the delay but our mock exams are arriving and we have been studying full time! If you're doing the IB like us, you know exactly what we're talking about ;)
