Read With Your Cuppa' #3

Meal to Try
Enchiladas are a delicious Mexican dish. They are tortilla wraps which are typically filled with chunks of chicken, peppers and some spicy salsa. Once they are wrapped and arranged in a tray, salsa is spread across the top of all of them and then cheese is sprinkled across them which melts as it cooks in the oven. To be served, the enchiladas are separated and placed onto a place with side dishes. I personally serve them with humous and salted tortilla chips/nachos.



Fashion Trend             


Emojis are a big trend right now and not just on texts. Wherever you go, you're bound to see these emojis printed all over clothes. On the left you can see a week in emojis on a top from primark, which is £6.You can also buy several other fashionable emoji covered clothes in Primark.






Interesting Fact  



According to NASA, ice-cream is one of the 3 items most missed by astronauts while in space. The others are pop and pizza. We all love ice-cream! Don't we?
                                             






Fun Activity

Take the time to draw your own fashion designs. It's best if you have template books so you can draw your clothes on models but you can just freehand your clothes if you want to. Grab scraps of fabric, ribbons and a handful of buttons that you want to base your sketch on then carefully select pencils of similar shades to your desired materials then start drawing. You can be inspired by your favourite items in your closet or perhaps the mos recent trends (or whatever floats your boat). The possibilities are endless! Let me know in the comments if you want to see a fashion designing post full of tips, my designs and anything else that would be helpful or interesting.

  1. This was a brilliant read, Megan!! :D Awesome, I've always wondered what Enchiladas were, but I never got round to looking them up. They sound delicious! The emoji trend sounds interesting. I can totally relate to the ones for each day, especially Monday, Friday and Saturday. XD The fact is really cool! Well, nobody doesn't like ice cream! XD My all-time favourite flavours are coffee and pistachio - I seem to remember telling you this before. As for the fun activity, I think I'll try that out! It's been a while since I've done that. There's this art tutorial book by Yishan Li called Massive Manga... I don't know if you like manga or not, but it's really useful! It shows you how to draw hairstyles accurately, clothing and just about everything. It even includes manikins you can copy to help you get the anatomy right. Anyway, I'd really like to see a fashion post from you! That would be SO cool! :D I'll look up some of those songs too. Just out of interest, have you heard of Towards the Sun by Rihanna? :3

    Awesomeness! Can't wait for the next one! <3

    1. Thanks a lot; I'm pleased that you enjoyed reading! Yes, they truly are! I often have them as a Friday night treat dinner! There are some different variations of the Mexican meal but this is how I've always had it in my house! LOL,same here! I'm not too keen on the trend this month, unlike the others I have mentioned in the past, however the actual product I showed is quite cool I think! I think I remember you telling me that before too and I think I said my favourites were caramel, honeycomb, cherry or just chocolate! It's very rare to find anyone who doesn't lime ice-cream and if you do there's probably a very good reason! I used to know someone who didn't like ice-cream but the only reason was because whenever they saw it, it reminded them of a time when it made them feel extremely ill! Apart from that, I know no-one with a dislike of the yummy stuff! :D Cool! That'll be great! maybe you could make a blog post about how it goes (you don't have to that would just be cool)? Thanks so much for letting me know! I'll look that up soon! I really like kawaii style things (which is similar to manga I think) so I'll probably love that book! Do you own it? It sounds really helpful! Oh I'm so happy that you would like to see that! I've been wanting to do a guide to fashion design for quite a while but I wasn't sure if my readers would like to see that sort of thing! It's great to be reassured though! :) Great! No I haven't heard of it but I'll listen to it now! Is it one of your favourite songs? Thanks-do you think I should make the Read With Your Cuppa' posts a once a month series? <3

    3. You're so welcome! <3 That's awesome! I'd love to try them like this too. :D Yeah, same thought! Lol, yeah, I did. XD Those flavours all sound equally delicious! Ikr? Really? That's a good excuse though. Me neither! Everyone I know loves ice cream so much. I scream for ice cream! 8D Yeah, maybe I will do that - thanks for the suggestion! No problem! I love kawaii style things too - they're really cute! Yeah, I think it is like manga. Great! ^^ Haha no I don't, actually! I borrowed it from the library. It is! :) Are you kidding? I'd love to see a fashion design guide on your blog! It would be awesome. (I'm into those kind of things, so! And if it's made by you, I'm sure it'd be fantastic!) I'm sure us readers would love to see it - you're awesome at fashion design! Yeah! :D Actually I just found out that Towards the Sun is a song in the new DreamWorks movie, Home. And Rihanna is the artist of the song. I haven't even watched Home yet, but I like it. XD Yeah, it's one of my favourites! (Just wondering, have you heard of "I knew you were trouble" by Taylor Swift?) Yeah, you really should! I really enjoy reading it! I think I'll promote it on my blog too.

    4. If you want to try it I think this is the kit we use- https://groceries.morrisons.com/productImages/210/210925011_0_640x640.jpg?identifier=10dbda160539710590692d03334b7d23 you can get it from pretty much any supermarket I think. :P Yes they are! Yum! Well, yes but I'm not going to let it put me off LOL! What is awesome is that ice-creams are completely different around the world but are all delicious! :) Cool! You're welcome! Awesome! I sometimes but kawaii things online too (as well as drawing it) and I found a website that ships to the Uk for free (which is quite are for a kawaii shop). It's called www.tofucute.com if you're interested. In my sketchbook guestpost I've got some kawaii drawings too! =^U^= I might check it out! Haha, I wasn't expecting you to say that! Oh that's so great! Thanks so much! I'll start working on that then! I just listened to the song, it's really good! Home? I wanted to watch that when it came out, I completely forgot! Has it gone to DVD yet or is it still in the cinema? Yes I have, I love that song! I'm a big fan of Taylor Swift! Are you? I love her old songs just as much as her new songs! I did a post featuring my Taylor Swift fashion designs a while back too! I think I will! Thank you very much! That would be great! I'm very grateful! :)
