About me

Ello ello everybody!

Nice to meet you all! First of all, I would like to thank you for visiting my blog/website. I have tried so hard in the past few years to improve and add more spark to this blog and am still improving...

So...a little about me, I am a 17 year old girl that lives in the UK. I have a great passion for photography and baking. I take pictures nearly wherever I go or when I see something that I really love and attracts me. For example when i'm on the bus and I pass by this wonderful scenery, i'll get my phone out and snap some pictures. I don't usually carry a camera around, so I mostly use my phone. I usually have my camera when it's a special day or a day out to the sea side. 

I absolutely love baking! I used to bake nearly once a week! From small cupcakes to an actual birthday cakes! But I have kind of cut down now due to A Levels. I try to bake and make at least twice a month.

I like to go to the library and find some interesting cook books or even looking online. My family loves to bake too! My mum, my aunties, my cousin...and we love to exchange recipes.

Why did you name it "Estelly Kitchen"?
This blog used to be called JollyCat and I have recently (In January 2015) changed it to "Estelly Kitchen". I was Snapchatting my friends of me making Baked Avocado Fries when I came up with this name. Estelly is really similar to my real name, and my friends often call me this.

I truly enjoy baking and taking photos. Baking creates some 'me' time which I believe everyone should have, having some time to themselves doing things they like. Baking can be an individual thing, baking by yourself, thinking through life while you whisk the eggs with the butter or even pipe out your feelings. Photography allows you to express your creative side, using different filters to camera angles. To be honest, I hardly Photoshop my pictures, sometimes I think they are nice the way they are, some of you might argue that Photoshop-ing the picture can make it even better. Well...yes, that true, but i'm not that great at Photoshop, so i'll stick to the natural side. 

When i'm older, i'm hoping to become a clinical psychologist. I love speaking and listening to people, opening ties in their hearts and making them a happy and joyful person in life. I am also very interested on how people act and behave, like behavioral psychology. I love every opportunity to see how a person is feeling inside though they might be saying something totally different to what they are thinking, through their facial expressions, movement and how people react at times. And no...i'm not judging them if that's what you might be thinking, I just like to see how others feel and think.

I started blogging around 2010/11. I first started with this blog where it was just about drips and drops about my life. Then I decided to expand it a little big, I created Jollycat's recipes, I started  used this one as my recipe binder where I post recipes that i've tried or recipes that I like and would like to try. After that, I also created Jollycat's captured moments, where I post some of my photography works. As I am a tv geek and love to watch tv, especially Hong Kong tv so I also have another blog called TVB劇集討論區 where it is a place for some discussions. (However, I now hardly use...)

I hope you enjoy this blog and check out some pages.
