Today's post is a ramble, don't know about you, but I'm all beauty'd out! Even I need a little break every now again from all the glitz and glam of the beauty industry (says me typing with leopard print nails)...
These are just a few things I am loving at the moment (and yes, they are pretty beauty orientated at times I guess)...
First and foremost, my beloved peanut butter cupcakes I baked last week. A quick low-down on the recipe I used:
- Normal vanilla cupcakes (Google that if you don't know)
- 2x tubs of cream cheese (full fat is best :) )
- 3 tbsp WW Crunchy Peanut Butter (there's is my best)
- 1.2 cups Castor sugar (I am the worst measurer, I just poured, give it a go...)
They were amazingly delish (even if I say so myself...)
What do you think? |
I had a meeting with the lovely ladies from Essie and they gave me a little present - the new wedding collection range 2011. This is Borrowed and Blue from the range - I'm obsessed with it!

Most excitingly, I went to a Bobbi event on Saturday where Eduardo (Bobbi Browns right hand man in the US) did my make-up. What a treat!
I learnt how to do my eyes during the day - something I am useless at - and got to hear the tips from the expert himself. If you have not read about the Bobbi Brown girly eveing I am running, click here to read more :)I was spoilt by Bobbi Brown - thank you :) |
Steering away from beauty, my recipe collection is growing slowly but surely - from the lovely Shiney, Happy People by Neil Roakes, I also got the amazing Gwyneth Paltrow's recipe book from my best friend. Such a treat because I have had my eye on both of these. Marion's book (see below) was obviously a must have, my favourite contestant - this book will appeal to any vaguely girly girl, with a love with thai food. Loving it so far...

Lastly, meet Charlie (I made that name up, but it suits him I think). Have you ever?
He is the cat that has been living in my flat's basement for months now. I cat-napped him (and this is coming from an un-cat person). He is the cutest thing, with the best personality - he has already been cleaned by me and now sports a heart ribbon around his neck - poor thing.
