What is not to love about cake! In this blog post, I will be teaching you how to become that star baker with this gorgeous recipe.This recipe can also be altered to your own taste as it is a basic sponge cake with a few added elements.

Ingredients 

Snow Fairy Body Conditioner £13.95 for 225g.

I love to keep my lips healthy, but during the winter it becomes more of a chore.By that I mean constantly having to take off my liquid lipstick , then reapply lip balm and then my liquid lipstick yet again.Don't get me wrong I LOVE wearing liquid lipstick , however, I notice that the skin on my lips can start to peel. The perfect solution for this is to use a lip scrub. My favourite one of all time has to be the popcorn scrub and as I was running low I decided to pick up a new one. Sugar Plum Fairy has a sweet but a kind of high juice flavor and gets all the dry skin off my lips.

Earlier on in the week, I received a lovely package from Anatomicals.I was able to try out a few products and these have to be my favourite.

If you have never heard of anatomicals before here is what they are all about "Anatomicals – The company that ‘Only Wants You For Your Body’ which has single-handedly rescued Britain from daily grind and banned boring beauty regimes across the nation.
You’ll be pleased to know in Anatomicals land, rabbits run free, guinea pigs rule and the only testing the mice do is Brain Training (purely for their own entertainment we might add). In fact, one of the mice has a higher IQ than Einstein had. Our ingredients are all free from animal testing – We think fluffy bunnies are cute enough without Anatomicals products or ingredients. It’s just us humans that need a bit of help sometimes! All of our formulas are also paraben free." 
Pretty good to the sounds of me!

These face masks are so delightful and just the names amuse me! If you are looking for a great face mask to mattify your face, kill that blemish or just distress then these are for you. ( Did I mention there's a chocolate one) . The temptation to lick these off my face is insane! They smell so yummy like cake! I managed to try 'Farewell the scarlet pimperhell' 'grease isn't the word' and ' look you have got chocolate all over your face' . Of course, I ripped open the packet for the chocolate one and used it ! A word of caution, though, a little goes a long way, put too much on your face and it will take ages to dry.One packet lasts about 3 masks but make sure you clip it with a clip because it will dry up.After about 5-10 minutes, you can wipe it off and your face is ever so soft to touch.

Using these every other day , I have noticed my skin is a lot healthier and brighter.So they are definetly worth a try visit http://www.anatomicals.com.mt/ .

Need some new years inspiration to help you push through boresome January? Keep on reading and you will be finding yourself wanting to go do something productive!

1.Do morning exercise.
Now yes, I do admit flying out of bed at 6 am (or 5 am if you are an early bird like me) and throwing on your running shoes and clothes to go for a run (in the dark I might add) may be a bit daunting and very hard. But doing a five or ten-minute yoga session won't hurt and will help you wake up in the morning and of course make you feel refreshed. My favourite one has to be the one Ellie Goulding produced for Nike Training Club, which you can find for free off of the app store.


2.Find a Third space
A third place is a place that is not your home or the workplace/school. It can be anywhere! A park, a library or even a shopping centre.  My favourite place is a tea shop I recently discovered in my local town, which sell beautiful cupcakes and the most stunning teas. This place can be a secret or you can take your friends and family to them.


3.Set realistic goals for yourself.
Making goals that are very unlikely to happen can really hurt you when you don't accomplish them. If your heart is set on the goal though work on it progressively.


4.Pack your supplies the night before.
Fancy that extra 10 minutes in bed? Then pack your stuff the night before trust me you will be glad of this one.


5.Find a new Hobby.
It can be anything! An example could be photography. Buy a book or read an article about your chosen hobby there is loads of content out there! Urban Outfitters do really interesting books so stop off there when you have the chance.

6.Try new food.
This is coming from the pickiest eater ever! But trying new food like acai bowls, for example, could really change your perspective on that food and you may even like it more.

7.Say yes!
You have probably heard this before, but saying yes could open a huge load of doors for your personal life, school life or career. Of course, if you really don't agree with what you are being asked, it is ok to say no but look on the positive side of the situation

So, we are all familiar with the phrase "New year new me", everyone says it, but do they actually mean it? Find out why I am not going to say it this year.

This year I am going to say "New year Better me".The only way that I can improve myself, is to set and accomplish my goals.When I sat down to think about my goals I couldn't think of anything. Turns out I was racking my brain for a super inspirational goal, which realistically won't happen.That is when I thought that these goals can be small like making sure I keep in contact with people, for example.The following are the goals that I want to achieve this year;

1. Read 12 books.This one is quite self-explanatory.I always neglect books, and social media always distracts me.When I didn't have a phone for about 3 weeks because it was broken, I didn't realize how much spare time I had which leads me on to my second point...
2. "Put the Phone down".This is more of a mantra to live by sometimes you do just need to put the phone down.Maybe if I am getting a bit stressed or really need to do some course work, I can just take a break.
3. Workout regularly and eat healthily.Everybody has probably made this a goal, but I feel I have really neglected my body these past years  
4. Knuckle down on my blog.With a new blog, I really want to focus on growing it bigger and getting people to view my content as well as produce unique content.
5. Really focus in school for my exams. Having really important exams coming up is patronising and I want to do my very best in these exams.

Winter, the time where everyone likes to have hot baths and likes to relax in the evenings.It's quite sublime. In this post, I will be sharing my 'Bath time Favourites' with you.
