Sticky Toffee Cupcakes... with my twist!

Sticky Toffee Cupcakes Recipe (from the humming bird bakery) : 

180g pitted chopped dates

180 ml hot water

80g softened butter

150g soft brown sugar

2 eggs

180g plain flour (sifted)

.5 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tsp vanilla essence

I'm normally really messy when I'm baking, it actually looks quite tidy :() but these are the finished masterpieces, pretty proud of them if I do say so myself! haha

MY EYESHADOW PALETTE

Eek, every morning I was checking the post to see if it had arrived, it's not a mac one or a high end brand its from a brand called 'Fralulein" I got it from Ebay and with 96 beautiful high pigmented colours for only £9.80 its brilliant! the colours are gorgeous and have beautiful finishes
the last picture is just a few swatches from the palette of the bright colours! Its so fun to play with!

Outfit of the day!

I'm going to a car-boot sale today, hoping to find quirky bits of jewelery and vintage clothes, and my mum who's hoping to get... vintage crockery! as she runs the business a vintage celebration (check it out, its great) and as its hot and sunny, I opted for shorts...

 top - topshop 

shorts - urban outfitters (Levi 501's)

 (Sorry for the bad lighting)

have a lovely day :)

something exiting...

I've had a lovely, very inspirational evening tonight! saw http://twitter.com/#!/TanyaBurr at a family friends birthday! who does youtube videos and is a professional make up artist and j1mmyb0bba who has a male grooming youtube channel! They were talking to me about there profession! it is so amazing, they are both so inspirational! it was a lovely evening and has made me be so determined to do youtube make up videos, I know it will take a while to get noticed and popular (it may not) but it will get me closer to where I want to be when I leave school!

It was lovely of Tanya to mention me on her twitter, telling her followers to follow me, it was amazing in only 10 minutes my followers on my twitter had shot up!

A very good evening and please follow my blog as it will get alot busier over the summer, as will my youtube which I will put a link to when the first one is up!


thankyou for reading :) xx

my day.. FRIDAY

First day in about a week that I've been out for more than an hour.

I had 2 appointments this morning, first one at 10:00 , ridiculous time reallly, and the next at 11:30, I have these every 2 weeks there just basically check up's! My mum always comes with me and we usually  go shopping afterwards and have lunch out! Well today was such a lovely day! We did say we didn't want to be in the city for to long, well we were wrong! ha we got back about 6!

we bought some lovely things, especially from H&M. I got, a checked shirt, dark jeans, and a maxi dress and mum got hundreds! I will do a post showing what I got next! Then I just got some make-up bits and bobs!

We had lunch in Pret a manger, our favourite, chicken salad is amazing!

And now we're home im super tired, but super happy because my eye pallete has come :D. again, ill talk about that in another post!

please if you read my blog, follow it:) I will start doing monthly giveaways to gain more traffic, and they will be completley free to enter!

My day : TODAY

Today Is another lazy day, but lets be honest who doesn't love a good day at home and in the garden doing nothing , (well watching pretty little liars in my case) and eating grapes, (state the obvious ^^ )

 I got home finally from being in Halfords with my mum waiting for her bike to be fixed for over an hour we resulted in seeing who could skid the furthest across the floor. I love my mum, we get on so well like that and can be so childish and don't care what people think of us. My brother and his girlfriend have gone, back to Essex ready for their holiday and its her 21st on Saturday so we did her presents, I got her 'big beautiful eyes' and the 'bad gal' benefit eyeliner, my mum got her Cath Kidston matching make - up and wash bags, and the Naked Palette tiny bit jealous.

I've watched all the episodes that have been shown of Pretty Little Liars online, in about 2 weeks I've watched 44 of them, addicted?? I do love it, but 'A' who is it? its messing with my mind, and Ezra, he's gorgeous!

My mum was at the hairdressers the other day and told me she read the Marie Clairs August issue and in it was an article about this girl who is making £60k from her blog, so she was telling me I had to get it! I've read the article and its crazy, that amount of money and publicity from her blog, which is getting bigger everyday by having 90,000 hits a month! The blog is called www.wiwt.com its brilliant, it's made me more positive about mine, and determined to write on here alot more!

here's a picture of the article in the Magazine. oooh, also Marie Claire give £10 to spend online for www.ciate.co.uk which is CTMC10

BreBeauty's Blog

So as you probably know, I love make-up and I'm always watching Tanya Burr's Make-up channel PIXI2WOO for new tutorials to copy. Yesterday I came across this great blog called .brebeauty She posts tutorials but in words, giving great description for each technique and where the product goes, and there's so many of them, : Jennifer Anniston, Lucy Hale (Aris Montgomery), Jennifer Lopez, Giada De Laurentiis, Nicki Minaj and so many more, so its so easy to get the exact look, she tells you what make-up you will need and all the precise details. As well as there being so many looks to copy there are posts which every girl would want to read, how to remove fake tan, how to look good in pictures, what foods to eat, giveaways, how to make your lipstick last and which one is best for you, there's so many! It is by far my favourite beauty blog.
I defiantly recommend you taking a look, its worth it!
