The Ultimate Chocoholic Monster Cookies!

I have finally found the cure for the upcoming dreary, cold winter nights; let me introduce you to the 'THE ULTIMATE CHOCOHOLIC MONSTER COOKIES!' Imagine a hot, fudgey chocolate cookie fresh out of the oven and topped with your favourite chocolate;the rich chocolate taste from the cocoa powder combined with the delicate bursts of flavour from the chocolate chips are the only company you will be needing this winter. Make them as big or as small as you want - the world is your oyster! 

Mac Pro Longwear Concealer

I may be a little late on this bandwagon, but could I please bring your attention to one of the best products ever made in the history of make-up products. Now, I know that everyone and their dog has been raving about the Mac Pro Longwear Concealer for a couple of months now, but just hear me out on this!

Creme De La Mer

My Experience

I have often walked past the Creme De La Mer counter staring lustfully at the rows and rows of gorgeously packed products that I know I could never afford. Knowing that these holy grail products that the world's biggest celebs swear by would never be something I could justify buying still didn't stop me from pining after them.  I decided that I really wanted to try at least a sample and took the plunge and headed over to the Creme De La Mer counter in Manchester with my friend.

Life!

This past month has been crazy; do you ever feel like the world around you is moving so fast yet you're still stationary? I've kind of been in that 'coasting' through my life phase for a few weeks now and I have been pretty lazy (hence the lack of blogs and no progression in the rest of my life). I have decided to embrace all the rights and wrongs and actually take charge! No one can change your life but you. right?

This new attitude has enabled me to take the leap that I have been trying to make for the past year and quit my job to look for a new career path. There really is no point in doing a job that you don't want to get up in the morning for - life is too short for that kind of stress! I have also decided to look after myself a bit more; this includes hitting the gym, actually making an effort with my appearance (I think I lived in PJ's and trackies for a month), and actually pursue my hobbies. I don't want to get to a-crazy-old-age and regret not doing more in my life.

So this was a quick little post about what is happening in my life right now. I am currently working at a summer school where I have been working for the past 4 summers - and after that it is time to get jon hunting and hopefully I will stumble onto something that I really enjoy. I have been loving working at the summer school because it doesn't require as much work as my previous job did AND I get to dress up. There is no dress code so I've been getting out the dresses and heels and experimenting with some different styles.

What's going on with you guys?

White chocolate and strawberry cheesecake

Hey gorgeous ladies! Today I bring to you the most delightful, melt-in-your-mouth cheesecake you are ever going to feast your eyes and taste buds on. It consists of a gorgeous crumbly biscuit base, and an indulgent vanilla, white chocolate and strawberry filling which has been topped with juicy strawberries and delicate white chocolate shavings. Sounds heavenly right? Well, it tastes even better!

May Empties

Hey lovely laydees! How are you all? I have been meaning to get my May empties post out for the past week but life just kept getting in the way. Anyway, let's get straight into this!

The first thing that you need to know about me is that I am a hoarder, like an obsessive hoarder. I also have a very bad shopping problem... can you see the problem here? I often find myself buying new things that hit the shops and completely forgetting about the older products, which results in them getting out of date and I end up literally throwing my money away. So, like many bloggers, I made a pact to myself to finish products before buying new ones - and the best way to keep track of that is to do an empties post every month.

The Little Treats in Life

I don't usually pay much attention to local markets, festivals and fairs because I always thought they were going to be a bit pants...I mean, this is Stoke-on-Trent! However, after launching my cupcake business I participated in a fair few of these community events and realised how ignorant I had been. The people on the stalls are so passionate, so friendly, and really good at what they do!

Last weekend, Daddy N told me that there was an Artisan Market being held in Trentham Gardens and it looked good. I got there asap and revelled in the buzzing atmosphere, the gorgeous aroma of food and the many samples of free food. 

I thought I would share some of my lovely memories :)
