Who doesn't love a freshly baked chocolate-chip cookie? Right. Unless of course you're allergic, then my condolences. However, you don't always have access to an oven to acquire such chocolately vanilla goodness, especially if you're a student or travelling. Though more than likely you will be able to use a microwave! So I came up with this super easy, super quick and super tasty recipe for a single serve microwave chocolate chip cookie! For the full recipe and instructions, watch the video link below! Hope you're all having an excellent week and had a great Easter. Infinte x's and o's
I have a little bit of a confession to make. Actually it's probably not even that big of a secret anymore because If you have read some of my previous posts you'll know i'm slightly addicted to tumblr, and of course by slightly I mean utterly. There is just something about re-blogging pretty pictures and quotes that's incredibly therapeutic. I decided to plaster my addiction over some books and take them with me to broadcast it to the world. Though the people that don't have a tumblr or don't know what it is (aka muggles) will be non the wiser. They will just probably think you like collages of pictures.
These are super easy to make, literally all you need is: -some notebooks (lined or not lined it's completely up to you) -spray on adhesive (you can find this from a craft store) -white A4 thin card -scissors - and access to a computer and a colour printer.
To make the instructions on how to assemble them easier I decided to make a video:
Have fun customising your own Tumblr inspired notebooks and I hope you have an excellent week. If you do end up making some notebooks, make sure to comment, I would love to see your creation.
You know those expensive exfoliaters/ sugar scrubs you see in-store and at spas that are only a tiny little jar?
Well they cost literally a quarter of the price to make yourself! Plus they look great as a gift and you know exactly what you're putting into it! You can experiment with flavours and colours. It also only takes 3 ingredients to make!
Sugar scrubs can be used on your face, lips (great for using before you put on lipstick) body (like before you apply a fake tan to remove dead skin) and feet.
So here's what you need:
Ingredients: -2 cups of raw sugar -1 cup of coconut oil -1 tsp of butterscotch essence (or any essence you like) Just make sure it's safe to put on your skin.
Then you will just need a bowl to mix, spoon, measuring cup, a saleable jar (I got mine at Ikea for about $3) and then some ribbon for decoration (opt).
Method: Combine 2 cups of sugar with 1 cup of coconut oil. If the coconut oil has solidified then you may need to heat it up for a little bit until it has become liquid. Then add a teaspoon of essence, stir it in and that's it! You're done. Scoop it into the jar, decorate with a ribbon and enjoy your smooth skin. These last (on the counter at room temp) for at least 2 months and it smells soooo good!
I made a video on how to make this sugar scrub, which I will link below:
So, Have you tried making your own sugar or facial scrub? What's your favourite flavour combination?
