Summer bucket list checklist

"Have a sleepover with a friend, and make it the best one."

Hi Guys,

If you have been keeping up with my blog posts recently, you will know that I have a summer bucket list! This blog will be a quick update of my going's on, and as you can tell by the title, I'm hoping to tick two boxes on my list, the sunrise and the sleepover; which is being accomplished tonight. To celebrate our amazing accomplishment, we will show you some of our sleepover must haves, tricks,and tips!
Fairy lights add a magical, and warm atmosphere to the surrounding, and for us is a must have for any sleepover.

Food for sleepovers.
Am I the only one who has planned a sleepover, and forgot about what to eat? Yes probably...sometimes you may feel the need to buy tons of food for sleepovers, however this is not always the case. A lot of the food you buy will probably be left untouched and wasted. For a simple and quick way to make tasty food I like to make pita pizzas, which are fun to make and easy to prepare...all you need for this treat is:
pita bread-  Is a flat pale bread that originates from Greece and can be brought from most supermarkets.
cheese- Cheddar and pizza cheese are the best options.
tomato puree- an alternative for this is tomato sauce [ketchup] but from experience I prefer to use puree with herbs for a more flavourful taste.
topping of your choice- some examples could be mushrooms, hotdogs, peppers, and cherry tomatoes. 

How To:

1. To start, get your tomato puree, and spread as evenly as possible on your pitta bread. Once you are satisfied with your level of tomato puree, and begin you grate your cheese. You may want to preheat the oven, I usually set the temperature to around 200 degrees fan oven.

2. Once you have enough cheese grated for your desired amount, spread the cheese as evenly as possible across your bread. REMEMBER, gaps you leave un cheesed will likely get burned!

3. When you are happy with your cheese distribution, you can start to put on some toppings.

4. After that, place your pitta pizzas into the oven, in the middle of the top shelf, and wait for a few minuets until a the cheese turns a golden brown.

Movies for sleepovers.

A common misconception of girls sleepovers is that we all watch chick flicks and bawl our eyes out over romantic movies, and spend ages our nails. Maybe some girls do, but not us! We actually love watching fast paced, and action full movies; but we are still quite fussy deciding...
Limitless is a movie we had both watched before however it never gets old, and I recommend it. Honestly it's a difficult film to describe i'll leave you the trailer- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THE_hhk1Gzc. The film can currently be found on Netflix. 

Time fillers.

At quite a few of the sleepovers I have been to there has been long periods of awkward silence, that horrible annoying moment when your out of ideas of things to do. I hate these times, but I myself have my own ways to help keep the fun going!

1. Apples! As strange as it sounds, apples are known to give you a boost of energy, and keep you awake longer, so I have heard... Usually when sleepovers go south, its because you are all tired and have lost interest. A boost in energy, keeps you awake, and you get the picture...

2. Watching videos of your own choice on youtube, making sure everyone enjoys.

Zoella's videos are our favourites, hauls and collabs, are what we enjoy watching.









3. Truth and dare... a sleepover classic, but always a fun and exciting game to play.

So thats the sleepover ticked off the list, I hope this blog post has given you some ideas for a great night. if your wondering who I'm actually having my sleepover with is www.ellagram.blogspot.co.uk make sure to click the link and read her blog! Tomorrow morning we will be waking up super early 4:58 to be precise, to watch the sunrise, stay tuned for photos and updates.
