Desert Island top 5

Hi guys! This post is kinda a fun and really random one. But it is my top 5 if I was on a desert island ! So hope you enjoy and comment your top 5 below. Enjoy your read!




1- Food and water- Or I would die and I have no survival instinct as to get food I open the fridge!


2- My phone and service- They go together so I could phone for help and if I got bored on the island then I have entertainment and on a desert island there must be some good photos.



3- My bed- As it's the only bed that I can get a good night sleep, as I love sleep and my bed soooo much.


4- Knife/ weapon- So I can fight of the scary animals or crazed humans! 



5- A friend or person- So I want some company as I would get lonely and another person would make a deser island so much more fun!


So these are my top 5. Hope you enjoyed. Hope you come back for another read next Sunday. If you want to see what else I've been up to or wanted to get in contact than follow the links below. Thanks for reading!

One of my new favourite places

Hi everyone. As its half term I have some more time to blog. This post is a bit of a random one which is my favourite place in my town which is a new coffee shop called Coffee #1 it is a very popular coffee shop and your likely to have one in your town. So this post is going to be why I like it and my fav drinks for Autumn. Hope you enjoy!






You may know I love a good costa and Im still a costa girl but recently Ive been drawn to Coffee #1 for many reason. The costa in my town does not do Autumn/halloween inspired drinks like Pumpkin spice lattes etc. But coffee #1 has 2x halloween drinks with there many other drink options. There halloween drinks are- pumkin spice latte and spooky cookie ( my fav!)

In summer Costa does great coolers but they stop in the autumn/winter and if your not a coffee drinker like me, that really limits your options. But coffee one does frappes and smoothies and juices and of course the normal drinks!



The prices are also cheaper so if you dont want to fork out £3.50+ for a small drink coffee #1 has slightly cheaper prices.

The decor and interior is really vintage and unique which gives of a cool vibe.

So this is why I love coffee #1 at the moment but Im not here to complain about costa as im still a costa lover ! But next time you see a coffee #1 give it a go!

Top 3 drinks at the moment

1- Spooky cookie- SOO good, give it a go!

2- Hot chocolate- with cream and marshmellows if you may.

3- Caramel latte- If im feeling tired and need some energy...

Hope you enjoyed this post.

1. Black leggings- everyone NEEDS black leggings, several pairs even. They are comfy, look good and work with pretty much everything. If you don't have anything get them NOW.

Tips for back to school

HII everyone! This is another back to school related post. If your going into year 7 or just want some tips or advice for back to school then keep reading. Hope you enjoy ! Comment below what your looking forward to and not looking forward to about going back to school. 



Tip 1- Be yourself... Everyone thinks senior school you have to be like everyone else but you there isn't an exact way to look or be. So be yourself and people will like you for you and not a a model of someone else! 

Tip 2- Dont be afraid to socialise- Having friends in senior school is sooo important so the first day try and mix it up with new people or if your going into year 7 be confident and make new friends.

Tip 3- Be confident- Linking into the last too, you might be laying in your bed the night before thinking. OMG what if no one likes me, what if I'm late for class, what if I can't find the toilet ! Trust me everyone else is NERVOUS. So be confident, smile and be yourself and YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT. 

Tip 4- Stay organised- being organised in school is so important so either use the planner they give you or use your own. Make sure you write down homework due dates, test, important dates etc. Being on top of you school work will make your school life so much easier. 


Tip 5- Dont worry too much- I really need to not worry as much. School is annoying the early start but teachers are there to help you achieve and when a test comes up I worry like crazy as I want to do my best but you need to try and think if I don't do as well, I'm not going to die, it won't effect the rest of my life etc. So try not to worry too much even though I'm a worrying person! 


So here are 5 tips for back to school. I hope these help and comment down below what year your going into to.

How to make biscoff 2 layer cake

Hi everyone ! 
Hope your enjoying summer, today post is actually a recipe of a biscoff cake which I made. I personally love it but some don't so if you like those biscuit you get when you go to a cafe, keep reading ! 

Ingredients 
CAKE 
250g unsalted butter 
250g light brown sugar
250g self raising flour
3 eggs 
2tsp baking powder 
4tbsp of milk ( if needed ) 

This will make two layer 




Biscoff butter cream 
 150g unsalted butter 
200g icing sugar
2 big table spoons of biscoff smooth spread 
( add more or less for desired amount of icing and flavour ) 




Extras 
Biscoff biscuits 


Now how to make it-

1- heat oven to 180C and line two cake tins with baking paper to avoid sticking and leave to side.

2- Then in a bowl mix together with an electric whisk the butter and sugar until smooth. 


3- then add the flour, baking powder and egg and whisk or beat whatever working I used a bit of both. If the mixture a bit dry add some milk, I had to but see how it goes ! The mixture should be smooth and creamy.


4. Then evenly distribute the mixture between both tins and put in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top and when you stick a skewer in and it comes out clean then it's cooked.




REMEMBER BEFORE ICING YOU GOT TO LET THE CAKE COOL OR IT WILL BE A DIASTER ! I waited 10 mins with them in tin and then 45-1 hour to cool. 

Icing 

In a bowl start of by mixing just butter to cream up and then on a slow power keep mixing while you add the icing sugar. When all mixed up it should look smooth and like butter cream. Then add the biscoff spread and mix again to combine. Now have a taste test to see if you need to add more or add more icing sugar etc until your happy with you butter cream. 


Now to decorate-

Decorate how you desire, I didn't have any piping tubes but if you do there great I just used a palette knife to spread some in the middle, on top and made a wall around the cake out of the biscuits. 


Now for the finished cake 


So this is how you make a 2 layer biscoff cake. I LOVE it and I hope you do to and I would love to know if you had a try either comment below or send me a picture on my Instagram which is-

Now I hope you enjoyed this a if you did remember to let me know and I'll do more recipes as I love baking ! Thanks for reading. Bye for now.

Top 5 Summer essentials

Hi everyone, hope your all well and that your having a FAB day. Today blog post is my first post in my summer  series which is " Top 5 Summer essentials ". So read on to find out what are mine and to inspire you if you don't have any of these. 

1. A water bottle- In the summer  the temperatures increase so to stay healthy and happy out in the sun its soooo important to drink plenty of water so you stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water also helps your skin to stay healthy as well and the sun rays damage your skin, so keep drinking! But let's be honest water isn't exactly exciting but what seems to help me is one either detox it up with fruit or finding a pretty water bottle, here's a few examples... 


All water bottles from New look prices ranging from 5.99-6.99

2. Sun cream- Bit of a classic but soo important you don't want to be in pain because you have a terrible sunburn and it's not a good look, looking like a tomatoe. Whenever your in a pool or sea you can still get burnt so find a sun cream so you can tan not burn. 

3. A summer scent- Eveyone needs a summer scent, for summer I love a fruity scent my go to at the moment is soap and glory super tonic orangeasm. What's your summer scent ? A body mist is perfect to just chuck in tou beach bag, which brings me onto my next point. 



4. A beach bag/bag for summer- With all these trips to the beach or road trips around the country we need a bag to rely on either a beach bag which can fit all your essentials or a backpack to store road trip snacks. Here some examples which you should consider picking up. 



5- A good upbeat playlist- Either at a summer party or at the pool summer is 10x better with a good playlist pumping in the background. So get over to Spotify and start adding some good songs which will make you feel good and have the summer vibes. Some of my favourites at the moment are 

☀️ All Little Mix songs from the Get Weird album 
☀️ Can't stop this feeling by Justin Timberlake 
☀️ Girls Like by Tinie Tempah feat Zara Larsson 
☀️ This is what you came for by Calvin Harris 
☀️ Cake by the ocean by DNCE 

and many more, comment below your favourite summer hits ! 
So these are my top 5 summer essentials, what are yours ? Hope you enjoyed this blog post and carry on reading and remember to comment summer themed posts for my summer series.
