Have a great day if your celebrating! Enjoy!!

Snow Day - outfit post.

Never in my life have I seen so much snow in Devon! It was fun until I had to walk about in it, but I did get 2 snow days from work which was fun! Anyway I hope you are all staying safe and warm.

I recently won a giveaway over at Cupcake Couture to win a Circle Scarf, handmade of course by the lovely lady herself! I also got to chose out of 6 colours and I picked 'Tomato Red':

A rare treat seeing me in jeans but it was far too cold for a skirt and tights!
Jeans - Next
Baggy Jumper - Topshop
Scarf - Cupcake Couture

Just like the famous American Apparel Scarf (only ALOT cheaper) you can wear it pretty much a bazzillion different ways. I opted for the 'Double scarf' so I could snuggle my face into it when walking in the snow.

Not snow walking shoes but this was on Friday before the snow chaos hit and I had to get my wellies on.
I forget what type of shoe this is Moccasins! They are like a velvet/suede feel with fringing they remind me of an Arabian Nights feel.
Shoes - H&M

What are you UK people wearing to keep snug in this weather? I say dressing gowns get made into proper attire!

It's a Jersey Thing - outfit post.

The title from this post is from an episode of South Park dedicated to those Jersey reality TV stars from Jersey Shore and Real Housewives. Now anyone of you who follow me on twitter will know i am addicted to American trash TV, give me anything badly edited with alot of arguments and rich people -I'm there!

Jersey Shore is one of my favourites, alot of people slate it because of it's characters (despite being real people) but it cracks me up! They call themselves Guido's and they Gym, Tan and Laundry (GTL) everyday:

'GTL' Gym Tan Laundry tee (as seen on Katy Perry) - £6 Ebay
Skirt - Primark
Citights - £12 River Island

Inspired by Nicki Minaj I have taken to wearing coloured extensions rather than dying my hair (since the boss doesn't approve!)

H&M Spike Ring - £4 for a set of 5
ASOS Cross Ring - £8

I paired my House of Holland Citights 'New York' in Jersey homage. 

What TV are you addicted to? 

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Christmas Peppermint Bark - recipe post.

I saw this recipe for Christmas Peppermint Bark on this amazing recipe blog and decided to give it a go, obviously I am not good at anything domestic SO mine was done slightly differently.

I promise you its the easiest thing to make ever and tastes divine, so here it goes:

I first of all lined a baking tray with baking paper and got my ingredients ready:
1 bar of white chocolate,
A pack of candy canes,
A pan of water,
Peppermint flavouring.

I put half the candy canes on the tree then the other half in a plastic sandwich bag, got a spoon and smashed them to pieces! 

I put the water-filled pan on the hob, placed a clear glass bowl over the top and started to melt the chocolate.
Be careful not to burn the chocolate!

Once the chocolate had melted I tipped 3/4 of the bag of candy canes into the mix and added a teaspoon of peppermint flavouring then stirred it all in.

Pour the mix straight onto the lined tray and spread out.
Then I used the rest of the candy cane mush and sprinkled them on top.

Put it in the fridge for about an hour, take off the tray and you have some yummy peppermint bark!
I snapped mine up and stuck it in a mini lunchbox just for storage.

I cannot tell you how nice this is! I'm such a fan of minty things so this was just perfect. I thought the candy cane would be really hard inside of the chocolate but it wasn't it was just perfect!

Do you have any Christmas recipes to share?

NYC Cheek Glow - review.

Literally in the past couple of weeks i have started using blusher, I know madness right?! I "borrowed" one from my mum (she isn't getting it back!) and picked this one up by NYC Cosmetics:

NYC Cheek Glow in 655 Central Park Pink - £3.09
weird price! Anyway I got this free in the 3 for 2 makeup deals in Superdrug.

As you can see it's very subtle, a light pink to add a bit of winter colour. 

It comes with a mini brush which is a bit too small to apply on the cheek so I have been using my own.
As you can see I am also in my dressing gown haha.

What make-up have you only just discovered? 

Sorry for the lack of posts, working in retail over xmas really takes it's toll on you so I've been super busy working everyday and tired from rushing around. 

Stay tuned for a Xmas recipe post!
