The Best Bagel shop on this earth!

Hey guys , so if you can't tell by the title we are going to be talking about Bagels , a gift from the gods!
And i know we all have our favourites and so today I thought I would share mine .Now as you may or may not know I used to live in Cardiff ,Wales before we moved and we always went to these shops .We would first visit the toy shop(bear in mind I was 7)Then Starbucks for a huge chocolate coin

and then to the holy grail of bagel shops la mina juice bar!

and I know your thing what about bagels but this place does bagels and juice 2. Now i bet they aren't even that good but this bagel shop has a nostalgic felling for me .

My personal preference of bagel is a cheese and sweetcorn toasted white bagel that's how simple it is . I even went to visit this bagel shop a few days ago before school; aka hell started and i had a bagel and they changed the cheese!!!it was still good and i still highly recommend it but it makes me sad. stupidly i   forgot to take a picture of me with the bagel so i will leave that up to your imagination bye for now.......

Am I a feminist???

Believing in the rights of women has become a statement nowadays and is the word feminist wrong ? Well i am not gonna state that i am one but i do strongly believe in the equality if men and women and i honestly don't understand how we as humans have advanced in so many area's yet we still can't make gender's equal to each other and quite frankly what makes us different , Yes i know biology but apart from that our brains are the same if not superior to men. Yet there is still sexist people even today men get paid for and are shown as a strong figure and women are week even primary school teacher's do it . They would say" i need a few strong boys to carry some boxes! "and i would out my hand up and everyone would say " your not a boy" and i thought to myself why does it matter i am just as good as any boy! so if you count that as being a feminist then go ahead you say what you want i would call it standing up for my gender in this day and age we as girls are not equal to men so let's change it women !!!!!
Not forgetting the boys though because they are also discriminated in school by not being seen as sensible because i was always called sensible not strong but i am not just talking to teachers here i am talking to everyone on this earth make us equal !! share this using the #makeusequal
 love you lots

More cake!! & Happy Birthday mum!

As most of you can probably assume I have a Mum and at some point in time she was born! This is known as her Birthday. Well, said Birthday happened this Sunday, so I decided why not make another cake because everybody loves cake, don't they?! This was my only present to Mum so I had to get it right. If you too would like to make a yummy chocolate cake then keep reading!

The cake I made was called Chocolate Obsession and it definitely deserved that name because I am now cake obsessed!!!!! But before eating the cake your gonna need to make it, so you will need...

For the Sponge! 

• 350g (12oz) dark chocolate (39 per cent cocoa solids), broken into pieces
• 225g (8oz) butter, softened
• 3 eggs
• 400g (14oz) caster sugar
• 400g (14oz) self-raising flour
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder

For the Buttercream & Decoration!

• 150g butter, (softened)
• 335g of icing sugar, (sifted)

Step 1 -  Break up your chocolate and place in a saucepan with 225g of butter. Add 100ml of room temperature water ( at this point it doesn't look appetizing but once the butter melts and everything is incorporated it's fine!) your mixture should (fingers crossed) now look something like this!

Leave your chocolate mixture to cool slightly whilst  doing step 2

Step 2 - Grab a seperate bowl and add 3 lightly whisked eggs and caster sugar. Beat together until smooth! (I did have a picture of what it looks like but this aswell looks a little less appetizing !) Your mixture should be a pale yellow colour!

Step 3 - Add the chocolate mixture to your existing mixing bowl, mixing until smooth. Then gradually sift your flour into this mixture until well combined. 

Step 4 -  Place the mixture in a well greased and lined tin until the bowl is empty!

Step 5 -  Bake the cake at 170 degrees in a fan oven or gas mark 4. Me being me I tend to burn cakes and if you are looking for a gooey texture bake for 30 - 50 min and take out when your skewer comes out with clumpy & gooey cake like texture to avoid doing this! This will create a brownie tasting effect to your cake. Make sure to place the cake on the middle shelf of your oven or if not the lower  shelf to prevent crispy side's. And don't overcook your cake or you will end  up with a brownie center and a crispy outer layer cake !!! (like mine)  Although it was still very yummy!

Step 6 - Once your cake is correctly baked, leave to cool. Once your cake is cool slice in half.

Step 7 -  Time for BUTTERCREAM!! Yummy!! To make the buttercream the first thing you want to do is beat the butter for at least 3 -5 minute's. This gives it a whiter, more classier (you might say ) look!  After beating the butter gradually, add your icing sugar whilst whisking on a slow speed until well combined.

Step 8 - (now you are probably thinking 'boy this is a lot of steps', but trust me it is worth it !!) Now put an even layer of buttercream using a butter knife on one side of the cake, making sure to 

leave enough for the top half of the cake .

Step 9 -  Once one side is coated in buttercream, sandwich both sides together and spread a layer of 

buttercream on the top of the cake! Finally place some chocolate buttons on top and share the cake with someone else! In my case, that was my Mum! And I just wanted to say a little shoutout to my Mum wishing her a Happy Birthday (even though this blog post is a few day's late)

I hope you all enjoyed your chocolate cake. I know my family certainly did. Let me know via instagram if you did using #imadeacake 

Love you all. See you later!

My first time doing a full face of makeup ;)

Today I decided to do a full face of makeup!! My day to day makeup at the moment is moisturiser, eyeliner, mascara and sometimes some lipstick and so today I tried to do my own foundation, bronzer, blusher and eyeshadow. I followed a video tutorial and I realised people are sooooooo fast at doing their makeup, like literally I was putting my foundation on the brush and she was doing eyeliner already. I have always seen the facination with makeup, because it is another thing to collect and I like collecting . My goal is to have a draw full of lipstick and every other makeup product you could possibly think of!  This was quite a hard task for me as I usually specialize in hair as I have it on my head but I think I am learning! Plus I think for my first attempt it wasn't too bad, but you guy's can be the judge of that I guess!

I did use alot of products, most of them I borrowed and so I can't really judge them myself but I do know if you have a fair complextion and care about animal testing like myself you will love Lush's very own Jackie Oat's Colour Supplement or as I like to call it, foundation. This is a cost effective and eco friendly alternative to Nar's Siberia foundation, although I will be saving up for that! The only other things I could reccomend were the Eco Tool's Fresh & Flawless, five piece complexion set. Now I am unaware if you can still buy this set anymore because I don't see it on their website but I think mine were bought in Boot's. They are travel sized brushes, specifically designed to give a smooth, airbrush finish to your skin and these too are earth friendly (can you tell I am a hippie at heart.) They also have the cutest designs that remind me of  5 little Japanese komono's!
I also tried a red lip with this look ...

I really like this look especially with my Wales top!!
I hope you enjoyed my insight into the weird and wonderful world of makeup and my overall first time makeup experience. ( It was good by the way kinda. ) Just go less heavy on blush or be prepared to give up extra foundation to cover it, best of luck!

So this happened .....

 WARNING!! This will be the Boringest ( if that's even a word )blog post ever but i wanted to tell you guys so , as i told you at the end of the last post i went to the park after seeing inside out ,we were 1 minute away from the car i decided that am gonna climb on that tree stump!(  the one behind me)The tree stump was completely submerged in thick and gloopy mud ,but none the less i walked in it then quickly realized the sinking sensation of the mud absorbing my pretty purple trainers . so my brain says what is the quickest way to get out of this situation? oh i know !!run slippy,wet mud,and we all know what happened next... i fall i slip and fall in said mud & concrete. my first thought owwww my spine , and by my second thought i didn't care about my spine i cared about my outfit!?? and we all know what happens when brown and white mix , it's not a pretty colour . And guess what just to add to this horror story i was about to cry but then my little brother made me laugh and everything was fine again. There is nothing laughter can't fix !! ( is the motto of this story) or don't try to run in mud !!

anyway i hope you had fun reading about my tragedy and let  this is a warning to all people who wear white clothing stay AWAY from tree stumps!!

Bye for now
