30.11 grey

Wow, I can’t believe it is the last day of November, how scary is that? In a months time, Christmas will be over and we’ll be getting ready to celebrate the coming of a New Year, and indeed, a new Decade. Has anyone got plans already? I wish I could say I have…but I don’t. We tend to decide at the last minute what we’re going to do.

Finally we have a break in the rain today, but it is so cold, my outfit is made up of lots of layers and my faithful thermal tights.

27.11 favourite recipes

Yesterday I recieved a request to share some of my favourite baking recipes on the blog,
I’m on a real baking kick at the moment, and I’m more than happy to oblidge! Most of the recipes I use, are ones found online, so I’ve created a list of links so you can browse at your leisure. Enjoy!

Flapjacks are so simple to make, and always a crowd pleasure. The thing I love most about making these is you can swap the dried fruit and nuts for anything your heart desires.

I made these lemon fairy cakes for my end of college picnic, instead of the suggested garnish, I used a daisy cutter to make shapes from fondant, and piped pink icing to make a summery decoration.

These oat biscuits could not be easier. I added in a 45g bag of M&Ms for a colourful treat

Rice Krispy treats are super more-ish and sticky, good fun to make.

Photobucket

What are your favourite recipes?
These are only a teeeeeeny selection of what I love to make, and I have stacks more recipes to try out soon…but a few more won’t hurt 😉

I’ll be back tomorrow with an outfit post!

23.11 quick outfit post

Happy Monday!
I promise to do my next tag/award soon, still not feeling 100% and am lacking concentration.
I am also soaked through after getting caught in yet another torrential downpour making my way back from the doctors…
I thought I was doing pretty well and was just thinking how lucky I was to have escaped the vile weather (serious winds and rain) when the heavens openened.

So, quick outfit post. Basically a repeat outfit, but with a new pair of leggings with stud detail down the sides.

Not the best of pictures, as the light here is terrible right now. I also now look a thousand times worse,
with dripping hair, and the leggings have been replaced with sweat pants whilst they dry out!

Have a great start to the week!
