Review: Lush sunnyside bubble bar

Lush sunnyside bubble bar is my favourite , best, most incredible bath product. ever. I got one for Christmas and seem to now get one every birthday or Christmas which is great!!
I love everything about this bubble bar. It is covered in gold glitter and when you crumble it in the water, it goes all gold and glittery and beautiful. To be honest, I can't really describe the smell as anything other than that of any general cosmetics smell...*great description...well done..* this is quite a nice smell though I think. Maybe a more particular smell would be nicer..
It always leaves my skin feeling soo soft with a lovely gold sheen. This doesn't sound too good and I know that some people don't like it but especially in summer when I have the only hint of a tan i ever get, it highlights any sort of tanned colour I have. Its luckily not an obvious gold...you're not walking around like a gold shiny smurf but the nice colour that there is unfortunately doesn't last long.
Wow that probably made no sense but I honestly can't think of an other way to put it..! Anyway, I would advise that everyone should try this product because for me at least, it is one step to sooo soft skin and is just generally amazing :D

Have a happy new year!! <3

A little recipe!

Here is a recipe i'd like to share for some really cute little butterfly cupcakes, not the most complicated or elaborate things but they are cute and taste good so why not?!

Ingredients:
115g caster sugar
115g butter
115g flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon (5ml) baking powder
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract

For the buttercream icing:
Mix 50g margarine with 100g icing sugar

1)Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and put the cupcake cases into the tray
2)Mix the sugar and butter together until it looks kind of like this:

3)Whisk the eggs then add them to the butter and sugar
4)Add the flour whilst mixing
5)Add baking powder and vanilla making sure everything is mixed together
6)Pour into the cases and bake for 15-20 minutes
7)Remove the cupcakes from the tray to let them cool the cut out a small circle from the top of the cupcake and cut it in half - these are the wings. Spread a small amount of jam onto the part of the cupcake which you removed the top of and then put a blob of buttercream on top of the jam. Place the two wings on the buttercream and dust with icing sugar.
8)Voila!! cute little butterfly cupcakes!

Winter essentials

I love winter, it's probably my favourite part of the year with Christmas and snow etc. There are a few things that I really couldn't have winter without though.
Hot chocolate is the best part of winter in my opinion, there is nothing better than taking my dog out for a walk and then coming home to a nice hot chocolate to warm me up. mmhhmm.

Christmas films are a must at this time of year as they really get me in the festive mood and lets be honest, who doesn't secretly wish they could go on the polar express.....just me? ok then..But yeah, Christmas films are my favourite films all year but i only allow myself to watch them in December or it'd end up being Christmas all year...I think my favourite has to be Polar Express
Winter clothes in general are really good because you can just live in leggings and a hoodie for months but this year my favourite clothing item is probably my patterned reindeer leggings, they are sooo comfy and warm i could literally live in them <3
Snow. What more do I need to say?! You just get to stay at home all day in your pj's with hot chocolate and a Christmas film. Oh..and there's snow angels.
Let's be honest, you've gotta have a beautiful winter nail varnish to keep your nail looking cute and festive all through winter. I prefer to go more toned down in winter than the hot pink and turquoise i use in summer so the one I am wearing at the moment is a shimmery bronze colour (Jack Wills: Bronze) which I absolutely love and you could probably wear it any time but I prefer it in autumn/winter.
My last winter essential is a fluffy pair of slippers. It always makes it slightly easier on a cold morning to get out of bed when you have a nice fluffy pair of slippers to keep your feet warm. Personally, a little animal face on the toes makes it even better for me, makes my day as soon as i've got out of bed.

Merry Christmas and have a great holiday! :)
