Festive Treats!

Hey,
For the best time of year, you need the best food. We've found a cute idea for ya, but with some inspiration from a YouTuber (Gabby Lindley/VelvetGhost) and Pinterest. So, let's get started with the REINDEER MALLOW POPS!!

For these, you will need:
~ 130g of Milk Chocolate
~ Red and Black tube icing
~ Regular Marshmallows
~Cake Pop Sticks
~ Plain/ Salted Pretzels (Preference)

1. Push the cake pop sticks into the marshmallows, to create a rough head shape.

2. Melt the chocolate over boiling hot water on the stove. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. When you're chocolate is melted, place a folded tea-towel on your kitchen surface and put the bowl on top.

3. Dunk your marshmallows in the chocolate and completely cover them. Before you put them on the backing tray, lay down two pretzels together (they need to touch at the sides). Then place the chocolate covered marshmallow onto the pretzels. Repeat this until you've run out of chocolate or marshmallows!! Put them in the fridge cool set.

4. The last step is to give your reindeers' faces. For this, just pipe two little black blobs onto the top of the marshmallows and a big red blob onto the tip of the marshmallow. We kept it simple but you can add a mouth and teeth to give them different expressions. 

So here is the finished product. We hope you give this a go, and sorry it's a bit late in the month, but they would be super cute to hand out on Christmas day!!

Hope you have a great Christmas/holiday!! 

Enjoy!

Short but Sweet #6

Oh hey!
We are back (hanging our heads in shame because it's been so long) with a joint post. Today is going to be a quick and easy alternative to driving to Starbucks and getting a delicious, and rather naughty Frappuccino. This tasty ice drink only takes two minutes and is super easy.
So lets go!

Step 1: Grab some ice cubes from your freezer and chuck them in your blender. We recommend filling it about 3/4 of the way to the max. line (if your blender has one).

Step 2: Pour in a can of a cold espresso drink. We got this Starbucks Double Espresso thing from the supermarket (you can get them in Sainsburys, Waitrose, Tesco etc..) and you don't need to add sugar to this as the the drink is already super sweet.

Step 3: Press the button and whizz it all up!! 

Step 4: Pour into two tumblers and top them of with squirty cream and cute straws!! These were so good and are great for sharing.

Thanks for having a read and we hope you give this a go!! 

Have a nice weekend!

Enjoy! X

Oh hey!

Today's post is about one of my all time favourite place's to eat, drink and go when I need a good, hearty breakfast or brunch!! This post is about my local cafe, No.178. It is a cafe run by an employment service, and the staff are so kind and welcoming. The cafe has a lovely cosy feel about it and isn't all fancy and overpriced.

I went for my usual, the American Breakfast - an amazing tower of crispy bacon, mouth watering pancakes and maple syrup (which, lets be honest, makes me feel very happy.). My dad opted for a Scrambled Breakfast, which has more crispy bacon, baked beans, toasted seeded bread, a hash brown and perfectly scrambled eggs. I don't know what it is, but the scrambled eggs there are amazing. 

They've also started selling macaroons, which are heavenly!! Lime macaroons - who'd have thought?! 

*I'm sorry there aren't any pictures of the whole interior, but I felt a bit self-conscious and inconsiderate taking pictures of other people*

The interior is a mixture of vintage and retro styles, and they have a book swap with a great choice of books.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great week!

Feel Unique Unboxing Haul ♡

Recently I made my first ever order to feel unique, and if you don't know what feel unique is, it's basically a online beauty store which sells high end and high street makeup, skincare, body care and haircare etc. Although I have never made an order I do have an account and love drooling over makeup  I will never have on saturday mornings on the website. But recently they had a huge summer sale, which is by far the BEST makeup sale I have ever seen! Usually makeup is the crap, cheap stuff no-one likes, this one was a colossal sale of everything everyone loves! I did check the website and the sale is still going on! Yay! Anyway I had recently saved up some money and decided to splash out on some makeup brushes I have been wanting for way to long! I logged onto the website and had a little heart attack when I realised that there was up to 35% off Real Techniques Makeup Brushes! So naturally I was like ummmmm yes please and made a few cheeky purchases! Here's what happened! ♡

Real Techniques Core Collection Kit! ♡

Real Techniques Duo Fiber Collection Limited Edition Kit! ♡

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge! ♡


Just as a little disclaimer I definitely wouldn't have bought all of these products if they weren't on sale! Sorry this was a very random blogpost, but I hope you enjoyed it none the less!
Love you guys! ♡

My Holy Grail Skincare Product! ♥

Hey guys! ☆

Today's post is going to be very exciting, I will be sharing with you all my Holy Grail Skincare Product! This is the one skincare product that I can literally not live without, it has to everywhere and anywhere with me. So after that introduction I'm pretty sure you guys wanna know what it is, right? (If not then exit this post, but feel guilty cause your missing out!)  

*Drum Roll Pleaseeee!*

 ♡ GARNIER MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER ♡

This stuff is mind blowingly amazing! It's a makeup removing, cleansing and soothing water with a fancy name! I did some research in what micellar water meant and I think its best for you to just google it. (It's a bit too sciency for this blog) This stuff is gentle on the eyes and doesn't make them sting like lot's of makeup removers, It's refreshing when you remove the sticky foundation that has been clinging to your skin for 7 hours. It perfectly wipes of the most pigmented of lipsticks and is pretty much the nicest skincare product I have ever tried. I know, I know thats a pretty big statement, but for £4.99 whats to lose? 

This stuff is really simple to use, just grab a cotton pad and gently rest in on your eye for a minute and then sort of wipes around your eye and it's gone! But if your like me and have spent to many hours on the internet and its suddenly 12:37 and you cannot be bothered to go through you entire skincare regime, just use this. Another reason why this is my holy grail skincare product is because it doesn't break me out or cause spots. I wouldn;t say it prevents/stops them it just doesn't break me out and that is the cherry on top of this delicious micellar cake..... *this turned weird* 

So if you haven't tried this stuff and I haven't persuaded you to go check it out for yourself!

Ruby. - A modern diner

Oh hey! I'm in Devon at the moment and my family and I were in Exeter Town Centre today, where we proceeded to eat lunch at a diner called Ruby. It was a restaurant but had a lovely relaxed feeling about it with it's amazing decor and classic American features.

I got a Cream Soda Float and my dad got a Banba Milkshake (Banana, mango, vanilla ice-cream, malt). They. Were. Perfection.

My Gran and I ordered a Blue burger which contained lettuce, blue cheese, chesnut mushrooms and red onion chutney. My dad and my sister both went for the classic and we all shared a side of fries and mouth watering sweet potato fries. The food was all really good and wasn't cheap and fatty.

I really recommend it as it was great value for money and was really filling!!

Thanks for reading, and I hope I didn't make you too hungry!! Hope everyone's having a good holiday, and I shall be back soon with stories of sea kayaking, coastering and chilli farm visiting.
