你好可爱!您可能可以通过2月中旬的事实来说明，这篇文章已经很长时间了。我通常不是新年的人，我喜欢Prosecco和聚会，但是我从来没有在“新年，新的我”的氛围中买来。直到我这样做。在2017年的前几周，我一直在考虑过去一年。2016年是一个奇怪的一年，在某些方面是令人难以置信的一年，我订婚了，我开始从事我绝对喜欢的工作，并留下了一些回忆，回头看，这就是我想要的更多。

In 2016, I spent a lot of the year being self employed as a beautician. It was a job that I loved to bits and it did wonders for my confidence at work ethic running my own business, but when I realised that I'd gotten all I wanted and all I could out of it and felt like it was time to move on, I felt like a bit of a failure. Being your own boss in a creative industry is the dream for so many people and admitting to myself that t wasn't my dream after all was hard. I'd always said I could never work in a 9-5 office environment and guess what? It's exactly what I'm doing and I genuinely have never been happier. Having a scheduled week, a steady, reliable wage and free weekends has left with me so much more time and freedom to live my life. The biggest thing I learned last year was absolutely that it's okay to change your mind and your path and it may be the best thing you've ever done.

So, that said, I've decided that 2017 is going to be a year of making memories. Last year, any time I had a little spare money, I'd buy clothes, shoes, homewares, makeup, just stuff. Of course, I'm human, I'm not vowing to give up all material possessions and live among nature (I may be a vegan, but I'm still a 21st Century female!!), but I do want to do much less buying and much more experiencing. Lately though, I've realised that as much as those things do make me happy, what I really love is going places and doing things, those are things that mean the most to me. Those things, not physical things are what will shape my personality and provide the best memories in years to come.

I think as a blogger it can feel like such huge pressure to have new things all the time for interesting outfit posts or product reviews and while I love doing those, I want to buy things because I reallywantthem, not because I feel like I should want them. I won't stop doing beauty and fashion posts because I still love that, but I will do them when I want to, not as a filler when I don't have anything else to write about.

So, a few goals for me for the rest of the year (better late than never!);

去很多演出。
I LOVE live music, I would rather go to concerts than go on holidays most of the time and having already seen my favourite band ever (Green Day) once this year, I definitely want to do more of the same!

Explore London.
伦敦是世界上我最喜欢的城市,我住的年代o close to it and definitely don't take advantage of that enough! Despite knowing London relatively well, I really want to explore more of it, some of the tiny tucked away places that not everyone knows about. Any suggestions please let me know!

See family more.
I'm super close to my family and I love seeing them however life gets in the way sometimes and I'm determined to make more time to see them all as those times are so precious.

Learn German.
I was recently introduced to a free app that you can use to learn languages and I've started to re-learn German. I did it at GCSE level and was pretty good at it however as I didn't keep it up I've forgotten a fair bit and I'd really like to learn it again. I've always want a second language and while German may not necessarily be the most useful, it's a good place for me to start!

Book some time away.
Though I'm not really one for long beach holidays I do love going and seeing new places and I'd love to do a long weekend in a city I've never visited before, so again, any suggestions would be fab!

So, I think I've leave it here for now. A question to you all first though, would you like to see posts about these sorts of things? Reviews of events and places, or my recommendations of things to see and places to visit?

Let me know your thoughts!

你好可爱!I cannotbelieve十二月的发展速度有多快！我为许多节日的博客文章和事物制定了巨大的计划，但是在忙碌的工作时间，在家中，几天不可避免的冬季流感，这还没有完全发生！但是，现在还不太晚了，今天，我想与大家分享一个我为节日期间感到非常兴奋的食谱。这个圣诞节实际上将是我完全纯素食的第一个圣诞节，所以我一直在提出美味的节日食品食谱，这样我就不会整天吃豆芽（嗯！）。

For me, the best part of Christmas food was never the Christmas roast dinner (though stuffing and roast potatoes have a special place in my heart), but the evening food, the sausage rolls, sandwiches and crisps that we all probably unnecessarily snacked on later in the day while playing board games and drinking too much Prosecco. I decided that even though now I can't quite stomach the idea of anactualsausage roll, I still wasn't going to sit nibbling on pringles alone this year! So, the vegan sausage roll experiment began!

Now don't get me wrong, I love cooking. I love making things from scratch, experimenting with lots of different ingredients and flavours, but with these, I wanted to keep it simple and more importantly, fairly cheap and easy to do. So, you won't find a list of obscure ingredients and expensive spices and seasonings here, basically, these are just one big shortcut with a seriously yummy outcome, so while these sausage rolls aren't going to give any chefs anything to lose sleep over, they're still sure to be a hit with your vegan and hopefully non vegan friends this Christmas.

For these, I got almost all my ingredients from Aldi, all except the lentils, which for some reason they don't seem to sell, but you can get lentils at most supermarkets so that won't be a problem. So, you will need;
干红扁豆（任何人都可以，您也可以将罐头用作快捷方式！）
Sliced mushrooms (Again, any kind, I used frozen for speed)
肉汁颗粒（我用bisto作为素食主义者，红色盒子！）
Sausage casserole seasoning (again, I used Aldi as it's vegan)
Sage and Onion stuffing mix
Pre rolled puff pastry
基于植物的牛奶

As with almost every other recipe I've ever done ever, I don't measureanything.我确实认为这完全取决于口味，但基本上，我使用大致相等的蘑菇和小扁豆，然后根据需要调整馅料混合物。因此，例如，一个杯子里装满了煮熟的小扁豆和一个装满煮熟的蘑菇的杯子，然后足够的馅料混合物将它们全部绑在一起。您可以随便适应，但是这里确实没有对与错！

To start, I cook my lentils in veg stock on the stove. While they cook, I take my (defrosted) mushrooms, make up some thick gravy and add all the mushrooms and a little gravy to a blender, I then blend them up, adding a little gravy at a time until the mushrooms are totally blended and make a thick liquid/ paste. You don't want to make this too runny, but sort of like a super thick smoothie. When the lentils are cooked, you'll want to drain off all the liquid and add the mushroom smoothie (nice) to them. Add your sausage casserole seasoning and stir through, it'll all still be very runny at the point, but that's where the sage and onion stuffing come in! Add the dried stuffing mix to the mixture until it becomes thick enough to hold its shape. I then put the mixture into a greased loaf tin in the oven for around 20 minutes to cook through.

一旦它从烤箱中出来，就取出预先卷的糕点，将“香肠”混合物切成条。我怀疑我需要告诉您如何将它们卷成香肠卷的形状，但只有几个快速提示。我总是在每卷上几次糕点，以便将混合物一路煮熟，我还使用少量植物性牛奶将糕点粘在连接处，并在顶部使用一点来给他们一个金色饰面 - 不需要鸡蛋清洗！

Sorry if this recipe is a little vague, I'm definitely no chef, but my non vegan fiance absolutely loves these, as do I and I promise these are super easy and self explanatory once you start making them! These will be the perfect addition to your Christmas feast and from what I remember, they taste pretty similar to the real thing, so you're sure to impress all your non vegan friends and family!

圣诞节快乐！
