An Insane Amount Of Cuteness

This post is neither cake, spa or beauty related. It is so much better. I thought it would be nice if we all took a five minute pause in our day to appreciate the beauty/brilliance/amazingness of these photos.

No7 Stay Perfect

As some of you may know, I am an avid fan of No7 skin care. Although some may think it's overpriced, it suits my skin perfectly, leaving it feeling hydrated and nourished, and I'd happily pay the price tag for it. However, what hasn't featured on my blog before is their make-up range. So, when I was given this gorgeous lipstick from their Stay Perfect range, I thought I'd give it a quick review.

Basic White Loaf

I'm normally one to spend days on end baking cakes and other sweet treats of similar form. However, recently I've ventured into the unknown (for me!) territory of bread baking. I don't quite know how I've avoided making my own bread until now, but after discovering how easy and cheap it is to 'BYOB' (Bake Your Own Bread) I will definitely keep up the hobby.

Rimmel Lipstick: Sloane's Plum

I've never been exactly adventurous with my make up. I tend to stick to the things I know, whether it be brands or colours. When it comes to lipstick, I'd normally only wear a coral red or pink on occasion. When I saw the emergence of deep, plum hues filling blogs and make-up shelves of shops, I thought I'd be brave and get one myself.

Banoffee Pie

It's not often I make big family puddings, but the other day I thought I'd treat my family to a banoffee pie. The diet had been wavering for a few days so we thought we'd make the most of calorific treats before we went back to being good. Banoffee pie is one of the simplest puddings to make with a only a handful of steps and ingredients involved. The biscuit base, rich, sweet caramel and whipped cream topping means that it's not the healthiest of puds, but one of indulgence- great for the family or if you have people round for dinner.

Gadi 21 Minerals: Nail Set

Winter does no good for our skin. Throughout the cold months, almost everyone experiences the dreaded dry hands and brittle nails which split at every opportunity given. Over the festive season, my mum received this lovely Gadi 21 Minerals nail buffing set, and we were both dying to try it out. The company often have stalls set up in shopping centres, and we had both seen demonstrations using the buffer which resulted in gleaming, perfect nails. Whether we would be capable of replicating these results, however, was a different matter.
