Happy Valentines Day

Half term has started for me and guess what today is? Valentines day! I would like to wish everyone a happy Valentines, whether your with a special someone or #teamsingle. 

For me all I need is my bed, phone and food.   

Have a great day!

Ready. Steady. Bake!

Firstly, I am very sorry for the lack of blog posts because I've been quite busy 

ever since school had started and due to the amount of homework my school gives me.

Recently I have been very interested in cooking and baking things from scratch, so one day I decided to go on the internet to find an easy recipe, which I can easily make. As I scrolled down I suddenly found a picture of a cake, which caught my eye.

                                                           Ingredients:                                                      

• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•     2 cups sugar    
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
•  1 teaspoon vanilla

        Method:

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch rectangular baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the paper and the sides of the pan well. 

In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs together until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add flour, milk, oil, baking powder, and vanilla and beat for another minute, just until the batter is smooth and creamy. Don't over beat. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan(s).

Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick poked into the center of the layer comes out clean. (A single rectangular pan will take longer to bake than two round ones.) Loosen the sides of the cake from the pan with a thin knife, then turn out onto a rack and peel off the paper. Let cool completely before covering with frosting, if desired.

Here's how mine turned out:

Not bad for a first try, right?

Hope you try this recipe out as it is very delicious as well as appealing.

Review: Nail Polish

I will be writing a review about the 'Claires' nail polish

As you can see from the pictures I purchased the orange nail polish colour and I also got the baby blue nail polish colour but haven't tried it yet but I will. The orange nail polish turned out really nice, in my opinion. The colour was really bright and fit for the winter or summer. Overall I would give this nail polish a 4.5/5 stars.

                                             

Merry Christmas

As you all may know...it's CHRISTMAS! I hope all of you have a great day and have quality time with the family. Today is the day where we celebrate so many things such as (if your a catholic) the birth of Jesus, which is the most important event for us Christians. 

...wishing you all the best and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

Have Fun

Christmas - 2013

Who's excited for Christmas? I know I am! I can't believe its only 14 more days till christmas, I mean time has gone really fast, by the time you know it, it's already 2015. Its crazy. 

Christmas is a time to relax and have a time off in order to spend some quality time with your family, friends. However lets not forget about the unfortunate people who have nothing to open on the 25th of December or eat, therefore we should give things we don't need to charity or go on http://www.operationchristmaschild.org.uk where you send a shoe box full of goodies to a child. We should do this as it is the spirit of giving and it will make you feel better because you have given something to a child in order for them to have a great christmas.

Winter is my favourite time of the year as you get to re decorate the house to make it have the Christmas touch and you can re-watch your favourite christmas films over and over again.
Here are some of my favourite movies
1) Elf
2) The polar express
3) Christmas carol
…but there are tons more  

Heres a christmas song to brighten up your christmas spirit

enjoy :) 

Escape

Sometimes, every now and again we need to let loose of our self and simply have some fun. Its always good to live like your 5 or 8 year old self  as It also helps you to not become a person full of stress that you become too full of your self and just become really angry at someone for no reason.

The definition of 'fun' is something that provides mirth or amusement, meaning something that you enjoy to do such as having a picnic or for those shopaholic girls, you can go out shopping; just anything you find 'fun'.The word fun can be interpreted in many ways, you may have interpreted 'fun' as escaping reality and going somewhere else in our imagination as reality can be full of stress, such as school (haha) or for those people who enjoy just a quite place you may think fun is a place where you can relax without anything or anyone disturbing you. 

Go on little adventures! The park may be a really nice place to go since it could be quite near or you can also go on road trips with your friends or family. What is an adventure? An adventure is to discover or experience things that you have never before seen. It is also like an imagination where you can pretend what the actual thing is a different thing. 

In conclusion, we should have some more fun because life is quite short and you just have to live while your young. However we shouldn't have too much fun as we still need to be civilized people that not only knowing how to do work seriously but know how to also have fun. In movies we have movies where there is a serious man that hasn't had fun in ages but there soon comes another person that helps them to experience how they can let loose of their self by being merry. Escaping the ordinary helps you to become less stressful and forget about all the worries you were thinking about to make you become a more happy person.
