Something a little more lifestyle than beauty today in the form of a recipe. I feel the need to share because ever since I made these Baileys Marshmallow Brownies a few weeks ago   I haven't been able stop thinking about them! Side note: The measurements are in cup measurements because I'm lazy & when making things up off the top of my head I find it easier than weighing everything!  Ingredients: 1 cup baking flour 1 cup caster sugar 1 cup hot chocolate powder 1/2 oil  veg oil 1/2 cup of melted dark chocolate (I used pure cacao I found in TK Maxx but mixed it with some milk chocolate to lighten it up a bit) 2 eggs A miniature bottle of Baileys A cup of mini marshmallows  Method: Typical Brownie method here I think. Mix the wet ingredients first then stir in the dry ingredients & the marshmallows.  Bake for 20ish minutes @ 175c fan assisted for seriously gooey brownies!

It's only in the last few months that I've really started looking after my cuticles. And I mean really looking after them, not just relying on hand cream and hoping that it keeps them moisturised too! Part 1 of my routine is daily care. I work in an office so am sat at a computer for most of the day. This gives me the perfect opportunity to quickly rub the cream over my cuticles and let it soak in for a few minutes.

I have a problem. I simply do not have enough nail polish.... Ok that's a blatant lie but I do have very few Jewel tones in my collection and this set of 14 polishes for £15 from E.L.F came at the perfect time.  At time of purchase they were doing a special offer on orders over £30 so for £20 I got this and some others lovelies I can't talk about (santa's secret!)  Below I have swatched each polish with only 1 coat and the quality is amazing considering I got them for less than a £1 each! Every colour was fast drying, opaque in 1 coat and the glitters were jam packed and smooth to the touch so no need for top coat !  L-R: Desert Haze | Glamour Girl | Gold Star ( layered over Desert Haze ) L-R: Blushing Beauty | Taupe Of The World ( now you know what Taupe is )| Smoky Brown  L-R: Misty Haze ( this will replace my much used Barry M Grey )| Dazzle Diva | Chic Confetti  L-R: Red-y or Not | Cherry Bomb | Violet Velvet L-R: Green Machine ( this is the perfect green! ) | Sea Esca
