Today I thought I would spice things up a bit and do something I have never done before here on my blog! A cooking post! I absolutely love baking and thought that my favourite cookie recipe was perfect to share with you. These treats are super easy to make and taste absolutely incredible! So, lets get started!

What you will need

• 50g of softened, salted butter

• 80g of light brown muscovado sugar

• 80g of granulated sugar

• 2tsp of vanilla extract

• 1 large egg

• 225g of plain flour

• 1/4 tsp of salt

• 1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda

• 200g of plain milk/dark/white chocolate pieces or chips  (I used a 200g chocolate bar and broke it up into pieces)

Method

Now for the fun part! These cookies take around 15 minutes to make and then a further 12 minutes to bake, so it really is quick! Start off by pre-heating your oven to 190C or fan/gas mark 5. Also, line 2 baking trays with grease proof paper.

1. Start by putting the softened butter and both types of sugar into a large mixing bowl and then beat until creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and the egg as well.

2. Sieve in the rest of the dry ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon. Then add your chocolate pieces/chips into the mixture and continue to stir until all the chocolate has been combined.

3. Using a teaspoon, place small amounts of the cookie dough onto the trays, spacing them well apart  so they have room to flatten out.

4. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. You want to wait until the edges have gone light brown but the middle is still soft.

5. When you have taken them out of the oven, leave on the baking trays for a few minutes to ensure they have firmed up, and then transfer them carefully onto cooling racks to cool completely.


And thats it! Honestly, these taste amazing and are perfect slightly warm as well as when they have cooled down! I hope you have enjoyed this different style post and you will be hearing from me again very soon!

Much love,

I'm back again! Todays post is going tot be slightly different to my others (although still on makeup) but its not going to be the usual review. A few of my friends mentioned to me that they would like me to do some sort of post on makeup I think is essential to have, if you are just starting out with makeup, or even if you have a large collection. These are just a few items that I would not be able to live without! So without further a do, lets get on with it!

Happy Friday everyone! SO… I am finally back on track with uploading my blogs, although I have a feeling that I won’t be able to upload them as frequently as I would hope to. I am thinking of uploading once a week (maybe twice if I’m feeling fancy) and it will probably normally be on a Friday as I get home from school early and will have much more time!

Anyway, today I am back with a lifestyle post about some gorgeous candles I got for Christmas. As a Person who has never really candles before, I was extremely excited when I unwrapped these on Christmas morning! These two candles are from Marks & Spencer and are part of the ‘La Maison De Senteurs’ range. There are lots of different scents from this range, but I got a lemon fragrance and also a floral fragrance. These to scents complement each other really nicely therefore it is lovely to have them lit in the same room because when the smells mix the outcome is amazing! Surprisingly the smell outcome of the candles is really good and make the whole room smell lovely and fresh. As I said before, I have never really had candles before, but after getting these, I definitely want to get some more because they smell incredible! After looking on the Marks &Spencer website, these are £6 at the moment and also have a   deal on which is buy one get one half price, so if I were you, I’d go and order some straight away! And not going to lie, but £6 for a Candle like this is pretty incredible! I tend to keep these two candles either side of my makeup table, or even on my desk when I’m working. I think that candles are a great way to help you relax and also are a really beautiful way to light up and also make the air smell gorgeous.

Sorry that this is such a short post (I feel like I’m always apologising! Sorry!) but I will be   back next week with something different for you all to read and hopefully enjoy! 

Lots of love

Hello everyone! This time it has been far too long and I am so very sorry. But now, my mocks are done and I am ready to blog my heart out. Today I thought about talking about my new favourite products (eeeeeeeeek) for Christmas, I got the special edition set of real techniques brushes 'Nic's picks' and I bloomin love them! In the set you get five brushes, two limited edition, one duo fibre and two normal brushes. For some more detail... keep reading!

Hello everyone! it's been far too long, and for that, I apologise. I have been very busy lately with work and then I wasn't very well for a few days, but now I'm back, ready and raring to go! So today I thought I would do something slightly different to the normal makeup posts I have been doing, so I decided that I would spice things up a little, and talk all about clothes! More specifically, topshop clothes. I have been shopping in topshop for about two years now so have purchased quite a few items, and today I will be going through a few of my favourite things! Hope you enjoy!
