Getting This Blog Up And Running! ❤

Hello! I've decided, that I'm going to get this blog up and running once again.

The reason why I haven't been posting, is mostly because I didn't really have enough time; what with School and all that. But, as I'm not that busy anymore and have time on my hands, I'm going to start regularly posting again. Which is great because I love writing posts for this blog!

I've decided to try and post a good blog post once every week, however, I will be posting little chatty posts when I want! My main posts, like normal, will be beauty, diary and photo style posts. (And obviously lots more!)

Follow my blog to keep on track on my posts, and I'll look forward to seeing you guys soon!

P.S. This post does not count as one of my weekly posts, there will be a much better post coming up soon this week for you :)

P.P.S. I am currently getting my bedroom redecorated, so expect some cute photos and posts on that!

Vanilla Butterfly Cakes

Hello there! Today's post (like I mentioned yesterday) is going to be about my cakes I made today. However, unlike last time I am going to write the recipe up for you as these cakes are not just basic cupcakes. Lets get going...
 
Vanilla Butterfly Cakes
 
                                                                               
Ingredients                                                                                For The Filling
 
 
175g/6oz/3/4 cup butter, softened                                      75g/3oz/6 tbsp butter, softened
175g/6oz/3/4 cup caster (superfine) sugar                         175g/6oz/1 1/2 cups icing (confectioners')
5ml/1 tps vanilla extract                                                     sugar, double sifted, plus extra for dusting
4 eggs, lightly beaten                                                         1/2 vanilla pod (bean), split, or a few drops
175g/6oz/1 1/2 cups self-raising                                        of vanilla extract
(self-rising) flour, sifted 
 
 
 
1. Preheat the oven to 180.C/350.F/Gas 4. Line 8-9 cups of a bun tin (pan) with paper cases.
 
 
2. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the vanilla. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Add the sifted flour and fold into the mixture until just combined.
 
 
3. Divide the mixture among the paper cases and bake for 20 minutes until the cakes are golden brown and the centres feel firm to the touch. Remove from the oven. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely.
 
 
4. To make the butter cream filling, beat the butter and icing sugar together until smooth. Add a few drops of vanilla extract.
 
 
5. When the cakes have cooled, carefully cut round the lightly domed tops with a small sharp knife and remove the top of each cake. Slice the tops in half to form two semi-circles, to make the butterfly wings. Set aside.
 
 
6. Use a piping (icing) bag with a star nozzle to pipe a whirl of butter cream into each cake. Press the wings into the cream and dust with sifted icing sugar.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Okay.That's the recipe that I read from, so hopefully you can now make these Vanilla Butterfly Cakes all by your self! :) <3
 
If you don't have a piping bag, you can just carefully spoon the cream onto the cake instead. That's what I did and it worked considerably well! However make sure you don't put too much cream onto the cake as that can make them quite sickly, which is never nice!
 
Here are some baking pictures I took, I am quite proud of the way my cakes turned out, how ever I know now that I should of sifted the icing sugar when I was dusting my cakes. As you can probably see!
 
 
 
 
Mmmmmm... Don't these look good! Hopefully this post has inspired you to take your cooking ingredients out from the back of the cupboard to make these! Their super easy and super tasty so I definitely recommend you to have a go.
 
Once again, thanks for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed it and I hope it didn't make you too hungry!

Small Matalan Haul


 
Hello there! As you can probably see, this is no Bowling post. The reason being is as when we went there in the morning the people told us that there were no lanes left, and that we would have to book for a later time in the day. We all thought it would be a bit of a kerfuffle to drive home, book a time, then drive all the way back again, so we ended up not going :( I've got to say I am quite disappointed as when we walked into the Bowling place, I saw so many things that were perfect to take a picture of! Instead, I've decided to do a (very) small Matalan post! I really hope that you still enjoy this post, and my posts will be more interesting and back to normal soon! Lets get started...
 
Don't you think them Hair Clips are absolutely gorgeous?! I've been looking around for some big Hair Clips and when I saw these I just wanted to purchase them! Black and White always looks good, and goes with everything which is an advantage! These Hair Clips are £3.00.
 
I'm going to call the bottom picture my 'new item of clothing' as I don't really know what to call it. Its not a t-shirt really... Is it? (Have you noticed I never know the same of things?!) Anyway, I love this new 'item of clothing' that I purchased as it goes brilliantly with my new 'ski leggings' I got on Tuesday. Its cream coloured and will honestly go with a pair of jeans or leggings as well. Maybe even shorts too. I can see this outfit being worn by me until everyone's fed up of it, because that's what I do with every outfit I love! <3 This 'item of clothing' is £8.00.
 
Before I go, I want to say thank you. Over the past few days my blog views have started to go up even more. I'm now onto 580 views which means the absolute world to me. Also, I now have 9 Followers! Which I know its not much, but to me I feel thankful that anyone has liked my blog enough to follow me! I hope that my blog can grow and grow even more each day, and we can all take each step together! <3 :)
 
This post is for some reason quite long, despite the fact I only bought two things from Matalan! I hope you enjoyed it never the less, and I'll see you guys soon! xxx

Zoella Product Review



 
 
 
As quite a lot of you (and me) love Zoella and Beauty Products, I thought it would be a fun idea to review the three Zoella Products I have. If your new to Zoella and her products, hopefully this post can inform you on whether these items are for you! Lets get going...
 
 
The same fragrance runs throughout the range which I think is lovely as its a very sweet and fruity smell. How ever its not too overpowering which is a great advantage. The packaging on each product (Body Lotion, Bath Soak and Fizz Bar) is lovely and girly looking, which will look great sitting on anyone's shelf!
 
Zoella's Body Lotion is refreshing and keeps your body and hands very soft, with the fragrance staying with you for ages which is a brilliant thing as I could sniff her products all day - they smell so good. The piece of information written on the back is very sweet as well, which I like as I read the labels of literally everything.
 
Going onto the Bath Soak and Shower Cream, again the smell is gorgeous and the packaging is wonderful. Its smooth, and keeps you smelling nice all day.
 
My favourite product is the Fizz Bar. The packaging is delightful once again, and also the smell. I use one square per bath however you can use two or more, its up to you. I like saving mine to special occasions as I don't want them to run out quickly!
 
Every product is wonderful, and I would definitely recommend them to all the Beauty and Zoella lovers out there. I'm very proud of Zoe for putting such time and effort into creating a perfect range of lovely smelling products.
 
There is a lot more of Zoella's products out their other than these three though! I am yet to purchase the Make Up Bags, Candle, Perfume and more. When I do purchase those items I'll make sure to review them! If you want me to...
 
I hope reading this post has gave you some sort of look in on what Zoella Products there are, and if you think you should buy them or not. The range of products are all great and in my opinion, if you haven't got these than your missing out! xxx
 
Prices Of The Products I Reviewed:
 
Zoella Creamy, Madly, Dreamy Body Lotion: £5.00
Zoella Soak Opera Bath Soak & Shower Cream: £5.00
Zoella Fragranced Fizzers: £.5.00

Love Heart Cake Mountains

Hello there! Earlier on today I made some cute little cupcakes, and I am too proud of them to just not write a post about it! However, I'm not going to write instructions on how to make them as I reckon most of you probably know how to make basic cupcakes and icing. Although, if you would like a post on how to make these, let me know and I might write the recipe :) <3

I was having a sort of  'Crazy Moment' while making these cakes, as you can see by the title on what I named my cupcakes... But come on, calling them Love Heart Cake Mountains is just so sweet.
 
 
^*^*
Taking this picture wasn't as easy as it looks! 
I was so scared that I'd drop the tray or my iPad, as
I was balancing my iPad and the tray on either hand aha!
 
 
^**^
Here are my 'Love Heart Cake Mountains'! Isn't this picture
just delightful too?! You obviously can't see this, but inside
the cupcakes there is lots and lots of chocolate chips, which makes the cake
taste even more exciting! I was going to go all out on these cakes by adding
marshmallows, more chocolate chips, extra sweets and sprinkles... But I decided
this might just look like a 'Toddlers CupCake Explosion' instead if I
did that! So, I ended up doing something basic, but I still think it looks quite cute.
What do you think?
 
 
 
I hope I haven't made you too hungry or craving for cakes by reading this post! If you would like more posts like these but with recipes then just let me know via the comments. I love cooking so I'll make sure to always share it with you guys when I create something cute and tasty looking!
 
Also guys, on Friday I am going bowling with my family and my mum is letting me take my iPad with me, so expect a post with lots of photos as where I go bowling there is a cute candy floss and Arcade machines which are so sweet to take pictures of :) <3
 
Before I go, I would like to thank you all as over the past few days my blog has started to get more and more views. Just in two days I have received 250 views which is a great deal for me. Even some people have commented a few things, which makes me feel so excited and happy! Also my Google profile has 1,111 views which is just, aaaaaargh amazing!!

P.S. I was thinking, should I start doing a thing called 'Gossip Saturday'? I was thinking on that day I would share Gossip that I've heard for example to do with new Youtubers, Youtubers, food, television... ect; Would you guys like to see that? Comment belowwwww! :)

Town Haul

I don't even know if doing a Town Haul is a 'thing', but this is what this post is going to be about! As you've probably guessed I went up town today and bought some nice things. But don't worry though, I didn't buy too much so this post shouldn't be too long! I hope you enjoy this post as it makes me so excited and happy when I see if anyone has either commented, followed or even liked my blog. I love you all haha! <3 :)

^**^
I'm so happy I purchased these. If you can't see what they
are clearly enough in the photo, they are a No7 Stay Perfect
Superlight Foundation, and a No7 Lash Impact Mascara. I bought these two
products in Boots!

^**^
I was so excited when I found these. I've never had a Pop Tart
before, but I've always wanted to try them! I purchased these from a sweet shop
called Dinky's, however I didn't realise you can get them in places like Tesco's
or the 99p store!

^**^
I bought these 3 Round Make Up
Sponges from Superdrug, they're very good to use for Foundation.

^**^
Happily, I got to go in Lush so I obviously bought a bath bomb in there!
This bath bomb is a Avobath Bath Ballistic which smells very fresh and lovely!

^**^
I purchased this face mask from Wilkinson's, where there
is a different range of lovely face masks to choose from. Although in my
opinion I prefer to use the peel off ones than the other types.

^**^
I absolutely adore this purchase I got. I don't actually know
what they are called as trust me, they are definitely not jeans but they
don't feel like leggings either; their too silky to be leggings! My mum
calls them Ski leggings, but I really don't know! Anyway, these 'Ski Leggings' are so perfect fitting and I love them very much.

^**^
I'm sorry but, these pop tarts were SO tasty and good, I couldn't just not take a
photo of them. Trust me, Pop Tarts taste like HEAVEN!
 
 
On that note, thanks for taking your time to read this post as I found it very enjoyable to share the things I purchased today with you. xxx
