Double Chocolate Cookies

Image
Who doesn't like a good chocolate cookie? T oday I'm going to be sharing this amazing recipe for double chocolate cookies that I read on Tanya Burr's blog. This is the best recipe ever and I suggest you try it. As I've mentioned before I'm not good at baking so I'm going to be honest here and sa y I burnt the first batch but technically my brother burnt them. NEVER trust boys. So I made some more the next day which tasted soo good but I think I made them a little too big so they kind of looked a bit wrong. You'll see what I mean when you look at the pictures. So let's get started shall we~ You will need: ●200g unsalted butter ●1 large egg ●a big bar of white chocolate  ●2 big bars of milk chocolate ●75g cocoa powder ●275g self raising flour ●baking paper ~First mix the sugar and butter together until it becomes smooth and creamy. Make sure the butter is at room temperature otherwise it will take forever to mix. ~Then add th...

Gift Ideas

Hey guys, today I'm going to be sharing some gift ideas. I thought of making this for my aunt as her birthday will be coming up. So I've got some pictures which are really old and I thought I could use them to make a scrapbook that's kind of like a timeline. So this scrapbook would contain old and new pictures. I think this is a great way to make sure memories are not forgotten. Some memories are very precious and we tend to forget them as we don't really think about them much. But being able to have a physical book containing all these memories is the best way to cherish them. My aunt will love this gift as she will be able to look through it whenever she wants. Most people have digital cameras nowadays which you can take pictures on but you kind of forget that they are even on your computer. I think this scrapbook gift idea will be the best gift. The website I'm using to print the pictures is called PhotoBox and here's the link: http://www.photobox.co....

What's on my desk?

Hey guys, today I'm going to be showing you the things I keep on my desk. So lets start with this candle I bought from home sense around two weeks ago. It smells of grapefruit and is just amazing. Grapefruit doesn't really sound that attractive as the actual fruit itself is horrible and just bitter in my opinion, but I just love this candle. Ever since I've bought it, its been on every single day. I light it when I'm revising and it seems to relax me. So if you have a home sense next to you I suggest you go there and have a look. They have a wide range of candles you can choose from. There are three other pots on my desk which I've ended up putting sharpies and hair and make-up brushes into. These also used to be candles and were from a salon called Tillie's. As you can see from these pictures I'm quite obsessed with candles. The make-up brushes in the pot are Real Technique brushes and there are also a few brushes from Beauty Base but I'm not t...

Outward Bound

Outward Bound is this amazing thing, if you ever get the Chance do it. Its basically a trip that lasts a week and during that time you do lots of activities and on one of the days you go camping.  I wasn't really sure if I wanted to go as it was for one week but I was like I'm not going to get a chance to go away with my friends for a week again because we're going to different universities so I might as well just go now. And as the time came I realised I wasn't very excited to go either. But I got through this and still went and can I say I'm glad I went. On the first day we did this activity called walking in the gauge which was basically a stream that we had to walk up. So this was a trust exercise and we had to be blind folded. There were three people who weren't blind folded and they had to guide the whole group up the stream and there were around 10 people in my group. This was scary if I slipped it would have hurt but luckily I never. However, m...
