Mac Blush | It's a 'Love Thing'...

Mac products have been circling the blog hemisphere for as long as I can remember. I always walked past the counter and felt a bit intimated by the gorgeous makeup artists (by no fault of their own) and the crowds of people who seemed to know exactly what they were doing in the chaotic environment. The countless rave reviews, the gorgeous collections and the beautiful packaging finally wore me down and I made my way to the counter filled with determination; I WILL buy something! 

'There ain't no calories in it if it's home made' | The Triple Threat Cupcake

Hey lovely readers :) I thought I'd share one of my biggest passions with you today; BAKING! I started my own (rather successful) cupcake business last year but I had to stop it a few months ago when I started working full-time. 

I still enjoy baking as a hobby and I love experimenting with different flavours. I discovered peanut butter last month - I know, I know, I have been living under a rock my whole life - so I decided to incorporate it into a cupcake recipe. I came up with my 'Triple Threat' cupcake - a moist chocolate sponge, a gooey nutella centre, a melt-in-your-mouth dairy milk buttercream and a peanut butter topping.

Yes, it is as heavenly and calorific as it sounds - but like I always say, 'If it's home made then it contains no calories.' These beauties took me 40 minutes to bake and decorate. They are ever so easy and inexpensive to make, and perfect for this bank holiday weekend!

Eating a vegetable rainbow...

Hey lovely readers! Some spare time on my hands has resulted in me experimenting and getting my hands dirty in the kitchen.  I love it when I am able to really think about what I am having for my meals; your body is a temple so it's nice to put extra effort and thought into what goes in it.

Last week I made these mouthwatering spicy vegetable burgers that I really wanted to share with you. It is the most simplest recipe, everything you will need is going to be in your kitchen, and you get to impress the family/friends with restaurant quality food that you rustled up in your own little humble abode! 

Carry on reading to see how to make these explosive little burgers!

Hauling the week away!

This blog was originally meant to be a beauty blog (not that you would know by looking at the past couple of posts), so I thought it was time that I injected some beauty and glamour into the blog, and what better way to start it off with than a haul! 

I have a very serious shopping problem; I shop if I am happy, I shop if I am sad, hell - I'll even shop if I'm hungry! This is the damage that I did last week. I will be posting more in depth reviews once I have tried out the products - this post will be more like a first impressions kind of thing.

Oreo stuffed cookies

We have all seen these oreo stuffed cookies floating around the interweb hemisphere, so it seemed like the right thing to try them out to see if they were worth the hype. I mean, so what if I'm on a diet? This is commitment to my blog! That is the only reason I made them, not because I was craving sugar... definitely not because I was craving sugar...

BUT if I was having a low sugar moment, boy did these bad boys fix that problem. These gorgeous bites of crumbly chocolate goodness are so easy to make and are perfect for any occasion - hell, who even needs an occasion! Just take around 20 minutes out of your day to experience heaven in your humble abode...have I sold them to yet? 

Keep reading to see how easy it is to bake these beauties!

Style Inspiration

There seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding Cara Delevinge at the moment; I was waiting for the day that the media started a backlash on everybody's favourite model of the moment. Why is it that people feel the need to build someone up, only to tear them straight down? It seems to be a running trend in society; whether is be friends, family, acquittance or celebrities. 

Drug culture is rife in the model world, so why wouldn't a 20 year old decide to experiment? I don't condone drug use but I love, love, love, love, love Cara D and her fashion, and it saddens me that instead of offering help people are ready to tear her a new one.

I feel that the top picture portrays Cara D; it shows her sense of style but also gives us an insight to how human she is - just like us!

Here are a few photos of her that have really inspired me...

"Fancie a cupcake?"

It is very rare these days that I get a day off to do what I want to do; so you can imagine my absolute delight when I had a day off last week and nothing planned! The possibilities were endless. The world was my oyster. I had a tank full of petrol and a wallet full of *ahem* pennies, I could do anything I wanted to do!
