4 Ways I Style my Jeans

As it is starting to change season into spring/summer (yayy!) I thought I would let you know of  how I like to style my jeans during this time. And recently I went shopping for a well needed summer haul I will be doing another lookbook whilst on holiday which will probably include my newly bought clothes. But amongst the summer items I also bought some new jeans, some mom jeans as I had seen many people styling them and I thought I would like to give it ago.

Cream Egg Brownies

Seeing as it's Easter Sunday tomorrow I thought I should do an Easter style blog post. I was searching on Pinterest for Easter related recipes and this one stood out to me as I am a massive fan of both brownies and cream eggs. In just 10 simple steps with a little time to spare you can be enjoying these festive treats too.
 To make this brownies you will need:
♥ 185g Dark Chocolate
♥ 185g Butter
♥ 85g Plain Flour
♥ 40g Cocoa Powder
♥ 3 Eggs
♥ 275g Caster Sugar
♥ 6 Cream Eggs

1. Preheat your oven to 180○C
2. Melt your chocolate and butter together in a bowl over a pan of boiling water.

 

     3. Whilst the chocolate is melting mix together the eggs and the sugar (make sure it has thickened and has doubled in size).

4. Once you have whisked together the eggs and sugar mix in the melted chocolate.
5. Then sift in the cocoa and flour. (it is important to sift as this and the whisking is the rising agent for the brownies.



6. Make sure you fold everything together slowly (again this creates more air)

7. Pour everything into a brownie tin and bake for 20 minutes. Whilst your brownies are in the oven start to chop your cream eggs in half, use a warm knife to do this.

 

8. When your brownies have been in the oven for 20 minutes they will still be soft, this is when you place your cream eggs in (I managed to fit 4 on each row).
9. Put your brownies back in the oven for a further 10-15 minutes. After that take them out and cool.

10. Enjoy!

Eat with a cup of tea on your own or enjoy with the whole family. Whatever you're doing this Easter these brownies will make it better, every cream egg lovers dream.

a Walk I Went on a While ago

During autumn last year I took a few photos whilst on a walk intended for my blog, but I never posted them so I thought that I should now.

We found an old wheelbarrow just on the side of the path. 



When I was little my brother and I always used to climb up this tree and now it feels so small and they cut down some branches so its not the same but it still holds many great memories.

 

This wasn't a particular post about or for anything I just felt I should share these pictures and also Happy Valentines Day!

Soaps and Scrubs

Recently I have been trying to use all of the gift sets I got for Christmas, and I thought I would show you what I have been using in my bath and what I thought of all of the products. If you want to check out the products for yourself check out the websites linked below.
https://uk.lush.com/
Soap and Glory at Boots

In my first bath I used the soap and glory Clean on me bodywash and the Scrub of your life body scrub. In the water I used a ted baker bubble bath (the green one) and the Snow Angel bath melt from lush.

I didn't particularly like the colour it turned out, I'm not sure if it was the bath melt or the bubble bath that was green but I didn't really like it.





For the next bath I used the same bodywash and then a bubble bath, which my friend gave me, I also then added the Father Christmas bath bomb from lush.

Again this bath turned out green however, I definitely preferred this bath colour as there were strands of pink coming through aswell.

For my last bath I used the same body scrub/wash. Alongside the ted baker bubble bath and the Peeping Santa bubble bar.

I loved this bath colour as it was bright red and smelt like Shea butter (so was also super moisturising) and Strawberries!

Personally, I only tend to have baths when I want to relax rather than to wash my hair in (especially with all of the products inside). Also after each bath I have been using the Soap and Glory body butter, which I literally one of my new favourites. But I have to say I have really enjoyed using these products as I did get most of them for Christmas. Anyway if you liked this post and would like to see more follow me on either bloglovin' or blogger.

Goodbye Christmas

Yesterday we took all of our Christmas decorations down. Which made me feel really sad. However I feel like once both Christmas and New Years Parties (check out my post about my New Years Party!) are over it no longer feels as festive as it once did from 1st December onwards (which seems like so long ago now!)Sometimes as I'm taking down my Christmas decorations I do contemplate how I ever managed to fit my decorations all in the same place before they were all put out on display. And as I am trying to fight with fairy lights or tackle piles of tinsel, I often wonder why I ever blue tacked that to there or hung that there. At the end of the day it all looked great. And, you do have to remember Christmas is never just about the decorations! It's normally traditional to take down anything festive later on in January, on the 6th, however as I am going back to school tomorrow :(, it was time for a fresh start to the New Year.

 

 

I loved Christmas this year, and felt it was such a lovely time to be with my family. However I am incredibly excited for whatever 2016 will bring.

New Years Party!

So right now I am sitting in my minion pj bottoms drinking from my new Starbucks cup, it is the 30th of December, and I have not yet celebrated the new year. However I have already tried on what I am going to wear, done my makeup, and my hair and taken some photos for the purpose of my blog and to let you know what I will be wearing and various other things I have done/will be doing in order to get ready for the New Years Party. This year I went for a bit of a black and nude/baby pink theme. (my bag is also baby pink but I forgot to take some photos of it so here's everything else.)

I painted my nails yesterday which means that the paint has had enough time to properly set on my nails. I used the models own hyper gel paint in the colour paradise pink. I then just added some nail art (incorporating the black to match my jumpsuit).

To curl my hair I just used my TRESemme Salon Multistylist wand (I have had this set for a very long time now and I really recommend it).

 

My jumpsuit is from new look (but about a year and a half ago, so not sure if its still for sale). My shoes are from Debenhams sales but originally from Nine West.

Christmas: gifts, treats, and tips

Its never too early for Christmas, even in early October everyone secretly has "I wish it could be Christmas everyday" ( I really do) on shuffle. No? Just me then. Anyway seeing as it is the beginning of manic Christmas shopping and rushed gift buying season then I thought I'd give you heads up on gifts that won't cost a penny and take matters of minutes! And if you enjoy this please check out my video on Christmas Treats.

 

 

This is easy just grab an old jar,fill it with mini marshmallows, add a cute ribbon, and maybe a label saying snowman poop. Easy as that, you could even do on Christmas day its so quick!

 

Just like the "snowman poop" grab a jar, put some malteasers, put a few red m&m's scatter about inside, add a red ribbon, and call it "Rudolf Noses"




 


This one is a little trickier, but just take some clear film wrap and place in: hot chocolate powder, mini marshmallows, m&m's add a ribbon. There you have a "hot chocolate making kit", just add milk and hot water.

 

 To make a cake in a mug just mix together: 4 tbsp self raising flour

                                                                  2 tbsp cocoa powder
                                                               4 tbsp caster sugar
                                                   3 tbsp milk
                                                        1 medium egg
                                                                                 3 tbsp vegetable/sunflower oil
                                                                    1/2 tsp vanilla essence
                                                                    2 tbsp chocolate chips
And pop into the microwave for 3-4 mins on the highest setting, to give this gift you could either put it into the fridge and give it as a cake. Or you could place all of the non-liquids into a clear film wrap put it inside a cute mug.

 



Except,use a big mug because otherwise this happens.
