Chocolate Nest Easter Treats

It's almost Easter and I think we all know what that means... chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!

Last week my best friend Livvy, and I baked 12 adorable Easter chocolate nests and so... can you guess what this post is going to be about? Today I'm going to tell you how to make 12 chocolate nests  (it's so easy!) 

What you will need:

- 6 Bars of shredded wheat

- 400g of chocolate (2 bars)

- Syrup

- Easter Decorations

1. Break the 400g of chocolate into a bowl.

2. Put the bowl over a pan of boiling water and gently stir the chocolate to melt it.

3. Once the chocolate has melted, crumble the 6 bars of shredded wheat into the bowl with the chocolate (at this point you can take the bowl of the heat).

4. Stir the wheat and chocolate to cover the wheat completely.

5. Add in a small amount of syrup (this will help it stick together).

6. Spoon the mixture into 12 (cute) cake cases and of course eat any remainders left!

7. Then, decorate, decorate, decorate... with of course easter themed treats! Add some mini eggs to create your 'proper' nest.

8. Put your nests in the fridge for about 1 hour to let them set.

Now they are ready to eat! See how easy that was?!

These are an absolute must throughout Easter and are the most scrummiest treats ever!

Have you ever made Easter nests?

HAPPY EASTER!

Moving On

Hey! 

Long time know  see  write (sorry). Before you read the actual post I have some news! 

I have now created a YouTube Channel so click here to be taken over to my channel. I already have a couple videos uploaded and I am loving making YouTube videos so make sure you go and subscribe! 

Anyway, today's post is a little bit different to all my others so grab a drink and enjoy!

I feel like there comes a time in most peoples lives when you just wake up and have a 'lightbulb moment'. You start asking yourself questions like;

Is this normal?

Do I deserve this?

What am I doing?

Why have I put up with this so long?

Obviously, you don't just suddenly wake up and think this, there will have been a series of events leading up to these thoughts.

I've just had my 'lightbulb moment'. I realised I have been holding on to something toxic just because there was 'history' behind it. But history isn't a reason to hold on to something.

I was holding on to people who didn't bring the best out in me anymore. Not to say they didn't once before, it's just, they're going left and I'm going right, which is fine. 

I don't want to have to pretend to be something I'm not when I'm around 'friends'. I don''t want to have to filter what I say when I'm around them in fear of it getting round, I don't think that's what friendship is.

I'm fed up of putting in 110% and not getting the same back. Clearly I'm not 'cool' enough to be invited to things outside of the school halls, and I won't change who I am for people who I know don't care about me the same way I care about them. I'm just seen as a back-up for when things go wrong, and I'm done with that. 

I've given out way too many second chances.

I think it's time I distance myself and finally cut this negativity out of my life. I have had my confidence knocked down by these people for so long and for a while I lost sense of who I was. But now I've gained that sense back and I'm so ready to meet new people, and start again.

2017 is looking good.

So, this post was quite hard for me to write as it's so personal and on my blog there aren't many posts where I connect with you guys on a personal level rather than just a beauty level.

I know this post is quite vague but I might go into a bit more detail someday.

Let me know in the comments if you've ever experienced anything like this and how you dealt with it.

Until next time...

Rimmel 15th Anniversary Lipstick by Kate

Hello my lovely blog readers! How are you on this fine Monday?

Today I thought I would review a fairly new collection of lipsticks that has just hit the drugstores and been brought to my attention... the Rimmel 15th Anniversary Lipsticks by Kate Moss.

There are 6 lipsticks in the collection; three reds (Obviously! This is Kate Moss we're talking about!) and three nudes. Now I don't have all of them, I only have four but I will explain what the other two lipsticks look like.

So I picked up a few of these lipsticks for a fairly affordable price of £6.49 each.

Anyway, on with the review!

Muse Red

A beautiful red, not too bright but definitely not dull. This is absolutely perfect Christmas... yes, I am talking about Christmas in August! I think this red would look amazing on pale skin especially.

Retro Red

A stunning red with purple-y blue-y undertones. This is my definitely favourite red from the collection. I think this shade is perfect just as we're coming up to Autumn. Again, I think this shade would look amazing on anyone with fair skin.

Idol Red

This is the last red in the collection (that I don't have) and its very similar to 'Muse Red' but 'Idol Red' its slightly brighter with slight blue undertones. It was just a bit bright for me but if you love your bold lips then I'm sure you would love it! It definitely gives off a Taylor Swift vibe!

Boho Nude

This is the darkest nude out of the three. On pale skin it is less of a nude and more like 'Velvet Teddy' by 'M.A.C' so I think this shade would look amazing on more tanned skin. If you love your brown nudes then you will love this colour.

My Nude

This is my favourite nude from the collection. It's very girly and very pink. I think you could wear this shade all year long, it works for any season but I have to say, this has been my go to lipstick this summer!

Rock n' Roll Nude

This is the last nude in the collection. It's ever so slightly pinky and it reminds me a lot of 'Creme Cup' by 'M.A.C'. I didn't pick this one up because it is very light and it washed me out slightly and I am already quite pale so I didn't want to look dead! So I think this shade is definitely for someone with more of a tan.

I think the packaging of this collection is pure perfection! As a girl who is obsessed with rose gold I'm sure you could imagine how excited I was to see these in my local drugstore! These are actually currently on display in my room!

The actual quality of the lipsticks are incredible! They are incredibly creamy and light, leaving your lips feeling smooth and soft. The consistency of the products, again, is fabulous! They glide on to your lips incredibly easily. The consistency is very much like a creamy lip butter.

Throughout the day I would say I only have to re-apply these lipsticks once which in my opinion is incredible! I re-apply the lipstick after lunch and even then the pigmentation of the lipstick isn't completely lost just slightly faded but, me being a perfectionist, I have to re-apply it to perfection!

Overall I would rate this collection:

4.9/5

I really hope you enjoyed this review! I had a lot of fun writing this and taking the photos for this blog post!

I'll see you very soon with some very exciting blog posts *insert smirky face emoji*
