Chocolate Cupcakes

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I usually don't celebrate Valentine's Day but this year, I decided that today would be a great day to bake some cupcakes. I love cooking in general but I really love making desserts. I mostly bake whenever I had free time or when I feel like it, but I have baked for special occasions before. 

So in the spirit of Valentine's Day, I decided to bake chocolate cupcakes! The recipe I used was from a cupcake book that I have - I've never ever used this book before so I had no idea how this recipe would turn out as it was a little different to how I would usually make chocolate cupcakes. But in the end they turned out super yummy! In the book they're called "Valentine Heart Cupcakes" but essentially they're chocolate cupcakes.

Here's the recipe: 

OOTD: Family Dinner

The other day my family decided to go out for dinner, so I thought I'd do a little OOTD post for you guys! 

Nail Art: Fuzzy Coat

The Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat nail polish is one of my absolute favourites from Sally Hansen. I get a lot of compliments on my nails whenever I wear this design so I thought I'd share it with you guys! 

All you need is:

- Base coat 

- Coloured nail polish of your choice 

- Top coat (optional) 

OneTeaspoon sale and Paper2 adventures

Hi everyone! I'm back! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting lately, I've been super super busy. But recently my friends and I had a day out in the city and I thought I'd share that with you! 

The main reason we decided to hang out that day was because of the OneTeaspoon sale that was happening in Surry Hills. OneTeaspoon is a brand with amazing clothes (although sometimes the prices are more on the expensive side) that were having an 'End of lease sale' at their Surry Hills store on Crown street - and honestly, the sale was pretty good (up to 80% off for some things) 

Nail Stamps!

Sorry for not posting recently! I went away on holidays to the Central Coast - I may/may not do a post on it, but long story short it was amazing!

On the first day, we checked into the hotel and got settled down. That was went my friends and I decided to do our nails! I'd only bought one nail polish colour as well as top and base coat, whereas my friend told me she had a surprise for me - and that was... stamps! Her cousin had bought these really cool stamps for your nails and they look awesome, so she wanted to try them on me. 

So here's the tutorial and here's what you'll need: 

My friend's cousin bought 4 special nail polishes and a bunch of stamps online. However we only used one stamp plate with our desired patter on it, and one special nail polish. 

 

I used Cutex '2 in 1 Basecoat with Pro-Vitamin B5', and as a base colour I used China Glaze 'Avalanche' (Which I've previous mentioned in my Favourite nail polishes for 2013 post)

So lets begin!
