Guess who's back? Back again..? IT'S ME!! This time I am back and better than ever!! I have a few tales to tell but this is just a short post to say hello! I haven't forgotten about you bloggies or to post on here. It has been a crazy year but super doper crazy past few months! I will write a more in depth post later. ANYHOOOO, the main reason I am posting today is to guide you to my lovely video on my cleansing routine. Not a lot has changed on the routine front but I have a camera and I am also better at editing. I think it is a lot more engaging for us and quicker response and easier in many ways. I still think I will post pieces on here but I think youtube Is the way I am heading. Please check it out and share the love, I would love it if you could give me some feedback and don't forget a cheeky thumbs up! Oh how I have missed this! Lots of love Kirstwee xo

Film Friday - Pitch Perfect 2

Image
The Bardon Bellas are back, Pitches!     If you don't already know, Pitch Perfect follows the Bardon Bellas, one of the accapella groups residing at Bardon university. Accapella is a type of music where there are no backing instruments, all sound comes from vocals. This glee style film, steps over a few more boundaries and brings it up a level!   Following on shortly after the first instalment, this film has a fantastic start that had me laughing so hard! This film also expands more of the story lines, and brings you closer to each character. After their success in the previous film the Bellas are invited to sing in front of the president. During the performance, Fat Amy takes everyone on a trip down under, which knocks the Bellas off their pedestal.   Losing their way, they fight to keep their girl power alive! After, some hilarious, cringe-worthy and heart warming moments, the film concludes in a unexpected way. With the potential to have a third...

Holiday Preperations

Soon me, my partner and basically all their family, (on their dad's side at least!) Will be going to Paphos, Cyprus!  Tenerife 2012   Three years a go now, I went on my first ever trip abroad to Tenerife, with my partner and everyone going this time around too! Grandad Ed and Grandma Kath rented a massive villa for everyone, and for a week we stayed in the beautiful villa in the hills! It was a new build and there wasn't really anything to do up where we were, so there was a lot of taxis and one very long walk one day... that was bad!   Anyway, it was amazing! Two nights we all came together, one outside the villa; where we went for a meal and a few drinks, and one night in the villa; with a lot of sangria and chase the ace! Haha! Apart from the end of night and the next day when half of the villa were ill, we all agree it was the best night as a family! Which makes me a little emotional as I had only been with my partner for around 6 months but I was alrea...

Sorry for the long hiatus! I have been ill as well as dealing with a lot of personal issues that have arose all at once. It has been very stressful and quite hard. However, now I can see a light at the end of the tunnel and I am ready to get back to blogging!

Dear Blog #4

Firstly, hope you had a great Easter! Mmmmm.... sweet popcorn! So last week I finally put my video up, I was and still am quite nervous about it! I don't have the best equipment or experience but I am taking a big leap especially as I have only really just started my blog. I have ironically watched a shed load of youtube videos, trying to find hints and tips for how to get better at all of this!

New Beauty Products - March 2015

Second month and I have a few new products to share with you, sorry it is a bit late!

Sweet Sally Cinnamon - Double Chocolate Smart Cookies

Image
Jar gifts always look quirky and well presented. I especially like the baking jars, some containing cake, cookie, or other sweet treat mixes. Sweet Sally Cinnamon is a local business, in the Durham. They have a range of jar bakes as well as hot chocolate spoons, cinder toffee and hampers. Anyway, I recently used their Double Chocolate Smart Cookies. All you need is your jar of mix, two eggs, and 125g soft butter. Preheat oven to 200c conventional. Combine all the ingredients together using hands or a spoon, I used a spoon then used my hands to form the dough. Pop in fridge for 10 minutes to firm up. After 10 minutes form into small balls, the labels says it makes about 20 cookies. At first I was unsure but they do spread! And there we go! I wouldn't call them a cookie as such, just because they aren't really chewy or gooey but they are a great dunking biscuit, lovely with a cup of tea. Do you have a favourite biscuit? D...

Daily Scrub

Recently I went on the hunt for a daily scrub. I went to my usual go to, Simple but the shop I went into didn't have any stock of their scrub, disappointing! Have you tired this? Have you had a good or bad experience? Let me know in the comments!

My Holiday - Turkey 2013 - Take me back! I really want to apologise for the random-ness of this weeks posts, I normally try to post, Monday, Wednesday and Friday and this week it has been - Tuesday, Thursday and today (Saturday). I know that no one is really that bothered but it is kind of my own schedule and feel bad negating from that.

Soap and Glory - Whipped Clean

I was going to post something different today, however I popped in the shower a little earlier and could resist doing a post on this amazing product!

Sweet Sally Cinnamon Cookies

Image
Recently as a gift, I was given a jar of cookie mix to which I only had to add a few ingredients. Once I read the label I realised it was from a local business from around Newcastle. Sweet Sally Cinnamon , is a company based in Durham who make these jars as a gift idea. The premise being that you only have to add a few ingredients to get perfect home baked treats!

Dear Blog #2

Life has been quite hectic again recently, I am getting a few extra hours at work, we have had someone staying with us this week and I have been really tired. Normally I go to bed quite late, but recently I have been getting so drained I feel myself wanting to sleep at 9! I also feel like I am getting a cold, which I can do without, thanks! I hate being ill, especially when I am busy. Might have to get some cold and flu tablets and see what happens.
