Ingredients.

Method. 

• Mix together the flour and salt into a bowl. add the water and oil.

• Knead the mixture well for about 10 minutes so that the consistency is smooth but not sticky.

• Then add the good colouring into the mixture and kneed so that it is all blended in together.

• Store in a bag or cling doom onto the fridge to chill enough to use.

There you have it easy as 1 2 3! Enjoy!

What is Triyit?

Hey readers, 

Who doesn't like free stuff? Well, one way of getting free food and drink is signing up to Triyit Discovery Club. 

Once you have signed up to the site and created a profile you have to wait to see if you get chosen to receive a free discovery box of new food and drink items. 

Over the past 9 months, I have been selected twice however, I am not sure if there is a formula or just random selection but selection varies from one individual to the next.  

However, to get chosen after you have received your goodie box is to complete the tasks. They are really simple as you are given a booklet which explains what the company want you to.

 The more you participate in tasks the more points you get. It is really straight forward with posting pictures on social media (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) and using the designed hashtags which can be found in the leaflet with the box. 

This is a great way of promoting products. There are additional things you can do such as record yourself opening up the box and looking through the items. Then post it on to Youtube, Instagram and Facebook.

Now the items are entirely free and you get 5 products.

The most recent Triyit box I received this month (February). I received 5 items which are Whitworth's snack shots, can of Starbucks double espresso shots, hummus crisps and a graze protein bar. So, as you can see a variety of items to try and see what they are like. 

Also, to point out once you have received the box in the post a few days later you will get an email where you have you fill in the feedback of the discovery box. It is important you fill in the feedback form or else you will not be eligible for future campaigns.

This is what the Triyit box looks like, it is really secure and doesn't take long to arrive. It is disputed by My Hermes and I have never had a problem getting the package delivered to my door. 

Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso.

I am not a fan really of coffee in cans for the simple reason I like a sweetener in it. However, I like strong coffee. 

My husband enjoyed it greatly especially when he needed energy for my son's chess tournament. 

Overall as coffee, its self goes with the flavour I would give it 4/5.

Graze Protein Oat Bites. 

I really enjoyed the texture and flavour of these Graze Protein Oat Bites. What is even better is that afterwards, I found them really filling with the protein. 

5/5.

Peperami Beef Bar. 

The peperami stick is quite strong in flavour which I enjoyed. It is a good snack to have that fills you up and the fact that Peperami is only 69 calories per stick is a winner for me. 

5/5. 

Eat Real Hummous Chips. 

These crisps or chips are interesting in flavour with tomato and basil, quite subtle in taste. They're also vegan and less fat in them compared to other crisps which make an alternative snack. 

5/5.

Whitworth's shots.  

I love these shots because of they so good with the cranberries and raisins with a sprinkle of Belgian white chocolate. They are also 98 calories and just an allrounder fab snack to have at home or on the go.

5/5. 

Below is a video I did on my Youtube channel unboxing the Triyit Box. 

Finally, Just a reminder to make sure you share as much as possible because that means more points which results in a higher chance of getting boxes in the future.

How to make a recycled bird feeder.

Hey readers,

Did you know this month is bird feeding month? What better way to celebrate than making a recycled bird feeder. Not only is it helping the environment but green too. 

What you will need. 

 Plastic bottle with lid. 

Twine or string. 

Birdseed (which you can get from your local animal store) 

Scissors. 

How to make the bird feeder. 

1. Make sure that the bottle is washed and cleaned before using and also make sure you have the lid for the bottle. 

2. Cut a hole in the side of the bottle big enough so that the seeds can flow freely but also making sure it is not too big that the seeds will fall out. 

3. Then near the bottom of the bottle make a hole that goes through the other side. Put one pencil in and then do the same again but above the first pencil so then will make a perch for the birds to sit on whilst getting the food. 

4. Measure the twine or string, you need enough to hold the feeder. 

5. Put a two holes at the top and thread through twine or string through them. 

6. Then fill your feeder with bird seeds. I would recommend using a funnel if you have one, makes it less messy to pour into the food into the bottle.  

7. Finally, find somewhere suitable for you in your garden to tie the feeder and there you have your very own bird feeder. 

Be careful to not do this activity if you are allergic to nuts. Be careful with the scissors and ask an adult to help.
