Hello my beautiful people,

I hope you are all doing well and this week has been treating you just as good! If not then I hope that I can put a big smile onto your face. So let's get crackin'!

Today I decided to share one of my favourite things with you guys, my baked banana recipe! I have shared this over on my twitter several times, and I thought it was about time to write a blog post about it. Seriously delicious and addictive as well.

These are the things you'll need:

1 ripe banana

Golden Syrup

Coconut Flakes

Peanut Butter

Goji Berries

Chia Seeds


This is what you'll have to do:

Preheat your oven to 200° Celsius.
Cut your banana in half and lay it on a baking tray, simply drizzle the golden syrup over the bananas, scoop some of the peanut butter on them and sprinkle some cinnamon over the top. Bake them for 10 - 15 minutes, depending on your oven. When you reveal the yumminess the peanut butter should be all melted and gooey. Pop them on a plate and sprinkle the rest of your toppings on top, that's it! Yes,it's that easy and yet it tastes amazing!

I like to make myself a cup of tea whilst the bananas are in the oven.







And this is the finished outcome,I do hope you enjoyed this recipe, if so then let me know in the comments down below. Also make sure to send me photos and to tag me if you recreate this at home!

Hello my beautiful people!

How are you all doing? I do hope well and that your week has been magical!

For today I wanted to share my absolute favourite TV programs/shows of all time, so do not judge me if there are some older ones, I am aware of them already not being shown on TV itself but you can watch most of them either on Netflix or somewhere else online such as BBS or Channel 4. Now, please excuse me for this rather short texted post, but I have been ill for over a week now and I just wasn't able to prewrite anything at all, so I had to come up with something quick and easy because I still wanted to get something up for you. Anyway, I am rambling, as always, so without further ado let's jump straight into it.



1. Broadchurch


Good old Broadchurch! Really great show about a small town called Broadchurch in England, where a young boy has gone missing and the whole town seems to be involved in it.



2. Criminal Minds


You will see that I love crime shows, and that doesn't exclude Criminal Minds! A Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) Team are solving all kinds of weird cases.


3. House Of Anubis


Oh my! MY absolute favourite out of all of these listed! Yes, I love it that much that I have re watched all three seasons in less then a week. An american student comes to an English Boarding school in order to just go to school. But soon she has to face different tasks of Anubis house together with her new friends to save the world.



4. NCIS: Los Angeles


Not much to say really, I have been in a phase of absolutely loving it but lately I haven't really watched it much. Another great show about a NCIS team solving crime cases.


5. Pretty Little Liars


Do I even have to say anything about it? Really "Pretty Little Liars" has taken over everybody's TV screen all over the world! And so they have taken over mine! Four best friends are trying to find out what happened to their once fifth member of their group, along their way they have to fight a mysterious someone who's watching their every step.


6. Teen Wolf


People, words can't even describe how much I love Teen Wolf! I have been obsessed with it ever since it started and probably will ever be. A normal teenage boy and his best friend trip over a secret of their little town Beacon Hills, and soon they become a part of it and have to save their town, friends and world whilst fighting against some mysterious creatures.



7. The Vampire Diaries


Classic, right? It's an oldie but a goodie, and I'm sure most of  you have watched at least one season, as it has been a cult favourite of everyone when it started. High school girl Elena has to deal with her family loss, school, her brother and falls into a world she only ever saw in movies.


8. White Collar


One of the best! "White Collar" is a brilliant TV program with one of the most attractive human beings ever existed. Neil Caffrey, a  thief and criminal himself makes a deal with FBI and soon is aside of Special Agent Peter Burke solving all sorts of cases with his personal knowledge.

When I saw the last episode, I cried so much! I was devastated to hear that that was the end of it, seriously I think they should return and do many more seasons!


Now that's going to be it for today, I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Do let me know if you watched or are watching any of these programs and what you think of them!

Hello my favourite peops!

How are the lot of you doin'? I do hope you're well and that your week has been nice and full of joy! It's half term atm, so that means that I can relax to the fullest, which is always good. But that does mean that I have a lot of free time to spend too, that's why one of my best friends out of our trio, invited our other best friend and me to a ball in her town, which is so exciting!

Hands why I wanted you to get an idea of how I got ready, as well as how I did my best friends makeup! So get yourself a cuppa, get comfy and enjoy!

Starting off with our makeup. I did the makeup for all of us, which I utterly enjoyed! I used for Julia's eye makeup the Urban Decay Naked Smokey Palette, for the base shade I took "Dirty Sweet" all over her eyelid, then to deepen the crease ever so slightly and to form the outer corners I took "Radar". For the rest of her face she used her own products.

Now onto Barbara, she basically isn't someone who goes for makeup at all, but she was kind enough to let me do something very neutral for this very occasion. So, to keep the look very simple and as natural as possible I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette and literally just went from lightest to darkest on her eyes, starting with the lighter shades all over her mobile lid and then the darker shades in her crease as well as a little bit on her outer corners. The black eyeshadow in this palette I only used with a pencil brush to smoke out her upper lash line a little to give it a bit more definition. Then we basically had a blast applying mascara to her eyelashes, as she never did it before and I suck at applying it on other people! It literally took us nearly an hour to get the mascara on her eyelashes and not all over her face as we did the entire time, haha! We didn't do anything else to Babsi (her nickname).

For my eye makeup I did the exact same as I did for Julia's look and just added my Benefit Roller Lash mascara on my top and bottom lashes, as well as I took some of "Radar", the shade we used in the crease and outer corners, on my lower lash line. For my base I used a newbie in my makeup collection, the Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation stick, which I will be doing a review on soon! Then onto concealer I used my usual Collection Lasting Perfection concealer on the usual places and blended that all in with my beauty blender. To set my entire face I used my Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder, after that I used some blusher to bring some life back into my face, for that I used my Benefit "Rockateur" blusher. The last step for my face was highlight, for that I used my Sleek Contour Kit in Light. For my lips I took my Mac lipliner in  "Edge to Edge" and lined my lips first before applying my Mac lipstick in "Brave" and topped that all up with my Tanya Burr Cosmetics Lipgloss in "Aurora".

For our hair Julia and I went for the curls and Babsi stayed with the natural straight state of her hair, but took a little strand from the front and pinned it back with a white flower.

And that's us done! All of our dresses were from different places, older or just not able to find anywhere. So if you'd like to know similar one's then let me know in the comments down below and I will definitely update this blog post with a list of dresses down below!







And there you go, that's our finished looks for the night! I hope you enjoyed this "Get ready with us" if so then leave a comment down below, also leave me some suggestions for new blog posts in the future in the comments!

Hello beautiful people!

How are you all doing? I do hope that this week and the current day have been treating you well!

For today I have decided to share my everyday glam makeup look with you, which I have been wearing on a daily basis lately. Seeing as my school isn't very strict with makeup I'm able to wear pretty much everything, but of course if your school doesn't allow you to wear that much makeup than you can cut out some of these steps to neutralise it or to tone it down.



For my base I used my usual Nars sheer glow foundation, with my beauty blender, as well as my Collection lasting perfection concealer under my eyes. After everything is nice and blended I'll be setting my face with my Rimmel London Stay Matte powder. Then I'll be moving onto my brows, I used my usual combination, consisting of some brown shades from my Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics palette, and my L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper.



Moving onto the eyes, I used my Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in "Eden" and set that with Brulee by Mac, only in the crease so the shadow I was putting onto my lid still had something to stick to. Speaking of that one the first shade I used was "Honeylust" out of the star of the show, the Mac x9 Palette in Burgundy. Then I used "Star Violet" in my crease and smoked it to the outer corners of my eyes to give the illusion of a cat eye. After that I went in with a clean fluffy brush to blend everything even further, just to make sure there were no harsh lines. For my lashes I first of all curled them twice on each of my eye, and applied a thin line of liquid liner on my top lash line, and then added a few coats of my favourite mascara, the Benefit Roller Lash mascara.



To finish of the face I used my Sleek Contour Kit to bronze up my skin a little bit, not too much! For blush I used a Sleek trio, again, with cream blushes and I used the shade called "OC", and blended that one out with my beauty blender. Going back to the Sleek Contour Kit, I used the highlight shade and basically put that all over my face as I LOVE highlight!

For the finishing touch I used my Mac lipliner in Edge to Edge and lined my outer lines of my lips, to fill the rest in I used my Mac lipstick in Brave. Lastly I topped that off with a a little dab of Tanya Burr Cosmetics Lipgloss in Aurora to make it more pinky. Kind of excessive, I know, you don't need that many lip products, if you just want to use the lipstick then go ahead and do so, it's what I do on lazy days!



And there you have it, that's the finished look. It's a nice glowy and pinky look, perfect for this time of the year, where you want to look like it's spring to amp up your mood! I do hope you enjoyed it, if so then please make sure to share it and leave me a comment down below.



Can you see how excited I was about the makeup? BTW no shame for my brows or hair, please, I'm in need to get both done!
